KILKENNY HARMONY.
That Is the Kind that Prevails Am onx
New York Democrats.

Not since the traditional eats OF Kill
kenny were hung across line by their
tails has there bcen such an amusing
harmony of subdued discord as is heard
in New York. now that Judge ID. Cady
llerrick has been nominated by the Dem
ocrats for governor. Judge Parker want
cd Edward NJ shepard, or District AT
torney Jerome nominated for governor in
order to gavanize his campaign into The
Scmhlance Of life.
David Il. Hill wanted John b. Stanch
field because Stanch.ield best represent
ed the organization outside of New York
City. to which Mr.. Hill owes his ascend
lncy in the State Democracy. Mr. Hill
had no use for IIcrrick who. as Demo-
cratic boss Of Albany County, has been
thorn in his side for years. But. il
is said. he accepted Ilerrick and put
him III nomination on the principle OF
the salesman who sold a coat marked
Slj for $40 on doubtful credit, because
he would lose less if the bill was never
paid. Hill will lose less in Herrick's
defeat than if he had succeeded in nomi
nating his friend Stanchfeld.
Senator Patrick H. McCarren the
Brooklyn boss to whom Judge Parker
owes his nomination, wanted COmptrol-
Ter Grout nominated, and for time he
| had Mr.. Hills ostcnsible support for
! Grout Judge Parker and Hill went back
| on McCarren; the former to placate
| Charles f. Murphy and Tammany, and
/ the latter because he couldn't help him
self
| Tammany accepted Herrick because it
| was willing to accept anybody who stood
for the discontinue of Boss McCarren.
| Il
! +. Murphy with which to dispatch Me
| Carren, ID. Cady Herrick would serve
| Tammany much better than either Shep-
ard or Jerome.
Besides. did not Judge Herrick's career
| on the bench present sterling claims on
the admiration and necessities Of Tam
many? His abuse of his judicial posi-
ton to the political exigencies in Albany
! i along the line OF what Tammany con-
! siders the higher walks OF politics. More
over. has he not practically pardoned an
official blackmaier and protector of dis
orderly houses by imposing paltry tine
of 81 900 on the notorious police Captain
Diamond "a stroke of judicial lenency
toward corruption in New York City Pc
cuiarly attractive to Tammany. If ..e
would SO act as judge, what prodigies
Of clemency to good men, nigh he not
perform a. governor? SO Tammany drop
ped Mayor Mcclellan and swallowed
Herrck and his record with genuine rel
| sh 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 Democracy can be expected -
| pander to the somewhat blunted moral
sentiment of its constituency. The
| EN ENING POST openly repudiates
Herrick. saying that a proper regard for
its own reputation forbids giving him
the negative support OF silence.
From this brief resume it may be
| gathered that the elements for harmo-
| NOUS Democratic campaign in New York
are all that could be desired-from 4
| Republican point of view.
