THE CAUSE OF IT

The quarrel between Tammany and Chief Justice Parker, of New York, who may be the democratic nominee for president, grew out of the New York state convention two years ago. Tammany wanted the chief justice to accept the nomination for governor. David B. Hill, the greatest foe of the Tammauy tiger in the Empire state, was pushing the candidacy of Bird S. Coler, who, as comptroller Of Greater New York, had made more than a lit tie trouble for the Van Wyck admins tration. It was soon discovered that Parker could get the nomination if he would consent Co the use of his name. |, was and is still believed that he wanted the nomination, but Hill, to whom the former owed much for the judicial honors that had been thrust upon bim, called upon the chief justice and requested him, as a personal favor, to refrain from being a candidate. After the Hin visit, Parker declined to permit the use of his name. He is re- ported to have told Leader Murphy, of Tsmmany hall, that he could not, with honor to himself, disregard the wishes of Hill
 Coler got the nomination, and re- ceived such loyal support from Tam many that he received the largest ma iority in Greater New York that city has ever given anyone. However, he was defeated by the personal upstate enemies of Hill. Albany Clinton and Rensselaer, counties, the home coun- ties, respectively, of D. Cady Herrick, Smith M. Weed and Ex-Senator Ed. Murphy, usually good for not less than 5000 democratic majority, went for Gov. iOdeu and against Coler by l4,OOO. Notwithstanding this, the democrats lost the governorship by only 5000 plu- rality, and carried a portion of their state ticket Co victory. It is now con ceded that Parker could have won. h which event, he would, of course, have become the democratic presidential nominee in the present year, and Possi. bly, with sufficient prestige to have wor the election.
 Itis claimed that Hill acted as be did, knowing that the election of Park. CT, as governor, would promote the last named Co first place in the New York democracy, a position forbidden COler on account Of his lack of mental attachments. The election of the lat ter. therefore, as the creature of H1' meant the latter for president ip i'Oi' Hiu's plans were frustra,ed7y 7y the de- feat of Coler.
