That IL the Kind that Prevails Among
New York Democrats.
Not since the traditional eats Of XII
kenny we're hung ncross line by their
tails has there hecn such an amusing
harmony of subduod discard as Is heard
In New York. now that Judge -. Caly
Herrick has been nominated by the Deu-
ocrats for governor. Judge Parker want
I'd Edward NJ. Shepard, or District At
torney Jerome nominated for governor in
order to galvanize his campaign into thu
semblance of life.
David d. Hin wanted John b. Stanch-
ield because Stanciifeld best represent.
ed the organization outside OF New York
City, to which Mr.. Hill owes his ascend
ancy In the State Democracy. Mr.. IIiIl
had no use for HerrIck, WIN. as D.ino-
cratic boss OF Albany County, has been
n thorn in his side for years. But, IL
is said. he accepted Herrick and put
him In nomination on the principle OF
the salesman who sold coet marked
$40 for $40, on doubtful credit. becauyc
he would lose less II the bill was never
paid. Hill will lose less in Hcrrick's
defeat than IL he had succeeded in nomi-
| mating his friend Stanchiield.

had Mr.. Hills ostensiblo support for
Grout. Judge Parker and Hin went back
| on McCarren; the former to pacnte
Charles II. Murphy and Tammany. and
| the latter because he couldn't help him
self.
Tammany accepted Herrick because Y
| was willing to accept any body who stood
| for the discontinue of Boss Mcfjarren.
| As tomahnwk In the hands of Charles

ard or Jerome.
| Besides, did not Judge Hcrrick's career
on the bench present sterling claims on
the admiration and necessities of Tmn-

Not so. however, the Democratic press
Of New York City. The WORLD takes

wall and fixes It's gaze On Judge Parker.
with the reflection that one honorable
nomination in four years Is as far as tho

pnnder to the somewhat blunted moral

| EVENING POST openly repudintev
IIerrick. saying that proper regard for
its own reputation forbids giving him
the negative support OF silence.
From this brief resume 1t may Be-
| gathered that the elements for n barmo-
NOUS Democratic campaign in New York
are NIL that could be desired--Srom .
Republican poiat of view.
