KILKENNY HARMONY
That Is tte Kind That Prevails Among
view York Democrats.

Not since the traditional cats OF hll-
kenny were hung across line by
their tails has there been such an
amusing harmony of subdued discord
as is heard in New York, now that
Judge D. Cady Herrick has been nom
mated by the Democrats for governor.
Judge Parker wanted Edward Nj.
Shepard, OF District Attorney Jerome
nominated for governor In order to
galvanize his campaign into the sem
blance of life.
David Il. Hill wanted John Ii.
Stanchtield, because Stanchfield best
represented the organization outside Of
New York City. to which Mr. hill
owes his ascendanCy in the state
Democracy. Mr.. Hill had no use for
Herrick, who, as Democratic boss of
Albany county, has been u thorn in
his side for years But, it is said, he
accepted Herrick and put him In nom
nation on the principle of the sales
man who sold coat marked Sl1 for
$40, on doubtful credit, because he
would lose less if the bill was never
paid. Hill will lose less in Herrck's
defeat than If he had succeeded in
nominating his friend Stanchfield.
Senator Patrick II. McCarren, the
Brooklyn boss, TO whom Judge Parker
owes his nomination, wanted Comp
troller Grout nominated, and for II
time he had Mr.. Hill's ostensible sup
port for GrOut Judge Parker and
Hill went back on McCarren; the
former to placate Charles +. Murphy
and Tammany, and the latter because
he couldn't help himself.
Tammany accepted Herrick be-
cause it was willing to accept any
body who stood for the discontinue
of Boss McCarren. As Il tomahawk
in the hands of Charles +. Murphy
with which to dispatch McCarren, ID.
Cady Herrick would serve Tammany
much better than either Shepard or
Jerome.
Beside not Judge Herrick's ca
reer on g., bench present sterling
claims on the admiration and neces-
stiles of Tammany? His abuse of his
judicial position to the political ext.
gencies in Albany is along the line of
what Tammany considers the higher
walks of politics. Moreover, has he
not practically pardoned an official
blackmailer and protector of disorder
ly houses by imposing paltry fine Of
$1,000 on the notorious Police Captain
Diamond?-a stroke of judicial lem
iency toward corruption in New York
City peculiarly attractive to Tammany.
If he would so act as judge, what
prodigles of clemency to good men"
might he not perform as governor?
So Tammany dropped Mayor McClel-
Ian and swallowed Herrick and his
record with genuine relish and noisy
gusto.
Not so. however, the Democratic
press of New York City. The WORLD
takes its medicine with evident
nausea the TIMES turns Herrick's
picture to the wall and fixes its gaze
on Judge Parker, with the reflection
that one honorable nomination in four
years is as far as the New York De
mOcracy can be expected to pander to
the somewhat blunted moral sentiment
OF its constituency. The EVENING
POST openly repudiates Herrick, say.
ing that Il proper regard for its own
reputation forbids giving him the neg
alive support of silence
From this brief resume it may be
gathered that the elements for har-
monious Democratic campaign in New
York are all that could be desired
from a Republican point of view.
