MI MurDhy's interview Is a Sfx-3aca,~
nrmation Of The Tribune's story OF suuaav -.
Wnich said that Murphy was holding Mayor nr.

MT Murphy was smoked OUT on the P,-s.-
boom by the stories from Albany telling nov T.
a mock ballot at a dinner which Judge p,rs.-
attended in Albany the Tamnany member, :.
the legislature voted for Parker and shouted =
him when his name was mentioned.
so they voted for Parker for PrssideDt T..

The accent was On the now" Then NJ
Murphy continued with a good deal OF e-npbasls.
Il hear that Il Is reported up the STATE tb.,
have been speaking favorabIy OF Mr.. C1evsl,,s
by agreement with certain persons. and ~,
am using Cleveland Just now to conceal ~
purpose OF bringing about the nominatso, !,
judge Parker. wish to say that those rzsar.,
are absolutely untrue. AS have said r,o-,
than once. think Mr.. Cleveland IL the ssrour..,
man that could be named. and mean il. IAN
not committed TO Cleveland OF anybody as.
however. and I certainly have not nads snv
agreement with anybody to send the New-York
delegation to the national convention win IN
structions to support Judge Parker. am on
posed to instructions by the convention Tor an,
candidate. and I win go into the convention ana
fight any effort to instruct. / don't believe IN n
structions. Il is my idea that the Neu-Yorx
delegation should so to the national convention
unlnstructeds and be IN position to do what
Is hest for the interests Of the party. Instruc-
tons would hamper Us, and I won't stand for
them. Nobody knows What the situation viii
be In St. Louis next July, and Il won't 90 20 IN
struct delegates elected in April CT MAY
The only Interpretation OF Mr.. Murphy's STAR
ulent with the Tammany men is that Tammauy
IS against Mr.. Hill and therefore against jude
the Parker boom. and Mr. Murphy is not 90
ing to interfere with 5fr. McClelian's vocaiza-
ton At the proper time the Brooklyn deleva-
ton viii swing into line behind Tammany and
the united Murphy phalanx viii insist on ths
nomination OF Mayor Mcclellan. provided tha
candidate is % be any New-TOrk man. As an
nounced in The Tribune on Sunday. the argu-
nlent for McClellan's candidacy within the Or
ganization Is that he won't have 70 resign a.
Mayor 70 run for President. and II he Is elected
the patronage that would come to Tamm5ny
would more than recOmpense the organization
for any misfortune that might follow intrust-
ing the MayOralty for ten months to President
Fornes OF the Board OF Aldermen.
When Mayor Mcclellan was asked about his
boom for the Presidential nomination. IN the
light OF Mr. 1rurphy's remarks. he said:
I'm not IN politics any longer. Tn 4 bush
ness man attending 70 the interests OF the city"
Mr. McClellan's FACE as he made this dignihed
declaration was not grave as hts words look
