That Is the Kind 1hat Prevails Among
New York Democrats.
Not since the traditional cats Of XII
kenny were hung across Il line by
their tails has there been such an
amusing harmony OF subdued discord
as is heard in New York, now that
Judge ID, Cady Ilerrick has been NOM
mated 10y the Democrats for governor.
Judge Parker wanted Edward VI.
Shepard, OF District Attorney Jerome
dominated for governor in order 10
%ealNanizc his campaign into the sem-
blance of life.
David r.. Hill wanted John II.
Stauchtiuld, because StaUrhiirld best

paid Hill will lose less in IIcrrick's
defeat than If he had succeeded in
nominating his friend Stanchtield.
Senator Patrick ii. McCarrsn. the
Brooklyn boss, 10 whom Judge Parker
owes his nomination, wanted Comp
trollcr Grout nominated, aud for Il
time he had Mr.. IIilrs ostcnsihle SUP
port for Grout. Judge Parker and
Hill went back on McCarreu: the
former To placate Charles i. Murphy
and Tammany, and the latter because
he couldn't help himself.
Tammany accepted Ilcrrick ne.

claims IN the admiration and nccc>-
stiles OF T]aunnauy: His abuse of his
judicial position to the political ext
geucics in Albany is along the line of
what Tammany considers the higher
walks "f politics. Moreover, has he
not practically parloned an Official
blarNmuilcr and protector of disorder.

prodigies of clemcncy 10 good men
might lie not perform as govcrn0rG
So Tammany dropped Mayor McClel-
Ian ard swallowed IIerrick 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 fouI
years Is as far as the New York De
mocrlcy al be expected to pander tC
the somewhat blunted moral sentiment
of its constituency. The EVENING
POST openly %repudiatcs llerrick, say
ing that a proper regard for its owl
reputation forbids giving him the neg
alive support of silence.
From this brief resume il may bt
gathered that the elements for a har
monious Democratic campaign in New
York are all that could be desired
from a Republican point of view.
