with eleven absentees IND three absolutely
refusing TO enter the caucus, disclosed the
real power Of Mr.. Murphy in Tammany
Hall. II was remarked to-day by Demo-
Gratis who analysed the situation that Mr..
Murphy knew very we'll where he stood
In his own organization until that COM
mlttee on contested seats had finished its
labors. From the moment that Mr..
Murphy arrived here on Saturday until
Q O'Clock last night, or exactly three days,
he did not consider il advisable to call a
caucus OF the Tammany delegation. Then,
too, the Murphy-Heafst combination at
no time had a majority Of more than six
In the committee on contested seats. This
indicates that the Democratic organization
OF the State has been turned over to that
combination only after the hardest hnd OF
lighting by the real Democrats.
ULz Il HERO oV THE CONVENTION.
The. heart OF the Tammany delegation
was Representative William Sulzer. He
was also the hero Of this convention. At
no time in Mr.. Suffers life has he con-
Quoted himself with more tact or a more
genuine desire to be OF service to the decent
Democrats Of the party than on this occa-
sion. The fact that Mr.. Suffers personal
integrity has never been questioned and the
further fact that he has always been a loyal
son OF Tamnnany gave him great strength
on this battlefield. But the Hearst-Murphy
deal had to be iammed through. The
in New York county this fall had TO be
promised SCORES of times in order to keep
even a bare majority Of the Tammany
delegation in line for Hearst. The fact
that Mr.. Hearst has promised not to permit
for these ten places in New York county
this fall was not without its influence on
Mr.. Murphy.
HAWKING OFF THE JUDoEsHIPs.
There never was, ii was declared to-day,
such a hawking about or sue an auction
eering OF Of the judicial ermine as was
observed here during this convention hula
baloo. The criticisms over this matter
have become 30 acute that in the opinion
Of Supreme Court Justices the mselves, few,
II any, reputable lawyers will be found In
New York county this fall willing to accept
places on a ticket which even now is referred
TO as -Mr. Murphy's Tainted and Soiled
Judiciary Ticket" Eminent lawyers said
here to-day hat the lawyers in New York
county who cared to accept Mr. Murphy's
nomination for Supreme Court Justice this
fall do 30 with their eyes wide open to the
fact that Mr.. Hearst could not have been
nominated in this convention except by |
bargains and deals by which the State CON-
mittee was first captured and then the
committee on contested seats, n that
these bargains and deals included the offers
OF the ten Supreme Court Justiceship nomi-
nations In New York county as part OF the
price by which the Democratic State or
ganization has been turned over to Charles
F. Murphy, William r. Hearst, Fingy Con-
ners and Paoky McCabe.
MCCLELLAN ACCEPTS THE TICKET.

noo for New York. Before going he was
asked what he thought Of the results in
this convention. and the Mayor authorized
the following statement:
The Democratic State convention has
nominated a ticket. / am a Democrat
and, OF course. / accept its action"
Mr.. Murphy be il said left no stone IN
turned in his q forts to heap humiliation
upon the head OF the Democratic Mayor
OF a Democratic city. The more Murphy
attempted to humiliate Mayor Mcclellan
by turning out the Mayors delegates the
more Mayor Mcclellan grinned.
TAMMANY H~oPELEssLY DIVIDED.
Already Mr.. Murphy has felt the humilia-
ton which came TO him when ne could
control in the Tammany CAUCUS only fifty
six votes out of the los in the delegation.
Tammany leader in the time of any
Democrat above the ground to-day ever
had such a record at either a State or a
convention. Only ninety-one OF
the 1906 delegates attended the caucus. a
majority Of which was necessary to enforce
the unit rule. This majority Of the ninety
one would rave been forty-six votes, and
Murphy's record was exactly ten more
the necessary majority.
Old Tammany men who were around
to-day said that Mr.. Murphy's showing
in the delegation indicated the real senti-
ment of Tammany TOWARD him and also
out his actual strength. Tam
many, they added, is hopelessly divided
under Murphy.
MURPHY TALKS.
Mr.. Murphy said before leaving for New
York this afternoon:
when / said in Tammany Hall some
ago that l found a sentiment in the
organization for Mr.. Hearst, 1 stated only
every man h has watched politics
that time knows. That sentiment
/ did not have a candidate. / was
to no one. / did not know we
would support Mr.. Hearst, but we began at
TO sound the sentiment Of the upstate
delegates, and we learned that the sentiment
for Mr.. Hearst was very great. 1t was
clear the majority Of the Democratic party
for him. Not until then did we decide
a candidate. l told the representatives
Of Judge Gaynor. Of Mayor Adam and other
men who had been mentioned in connection
the nomination that We would support
the man who could win. l treated Judge
.aynor in the same way treated the others.
Had the sentiment been for him or for any
of the others instead of Mr.. Hearst
would have favored that man. We be-
lieve the man the Democratic party has
picked will prove the strongest that could
be named.
1T has always seemed TO me that the
business Of a leader is to follow the senti-
ment Of his party, and not only express il
but make every effort to see that IL is not
