DOVE OF PEACE BACK.
MAY LIGHT ON MURPHY.
1t Also Has Green T7cig for Mayor
Mcclellan.

Negotiations which promise to be entirely sue
cesstul are under way for peace pact between
Mayor Mcclellan and Charles F. Murphy.
1t Is planned to have Mayor Mcclellan on the
platform at Tammany Hall on the night of the
ratification of the county ticket on October %.
Mayor Mcclellan broke the ice Thursday
last when he sent ex-Alderman Tom Foley
nice letter congratulating him his nomination
for the office of Sheriff. It was learned yester-
day that arrangements were being made for
political meeting at which the Mayor would
make a speech in support of Mr.. Foley.
Mayor Mcclellan went to the Catskills yester-
day in company with William A. Willis, Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Hoyt and others on
pleasure trip and is not expected back till to-
morrow night
The Mayor has told number of his friends
that on account of the combination made by
President Parsons of the Republican County
Committee and William r. Hearst on the county
ticket it is time for all Democrats 10 get to-
Eether and elect the Tammany ticket.
Mayor Mcclellan will appoint Street
Cleaning Commissioner and a Park Commits
sioner. It is hoped in Tammany Hall that the
appointees will be men afiliated with the Tam
many organization and that the Mayor VIII IN
some way contrive to consult Mr.. Murphy before
announcing them.
In the judgment of the friends of Charles r.
Murphy it is a fitting time for old differences TO
be forgotten. At the Foley headquarters IN
Centre street yesterday one of Mr.. Foleys
friends said:
Mayor Mcclellan IS friendly to Tom Foley
and says So He wants to see him elected. be-
cause he found Foley was square in the last
mayoralty fight, when he refused TO assist the
Hearst people. The Mayor was willing 10 ap-
point Foley TO the head of a department. but
Tom wouldn't have it. Now that he has been
regularly nominated for Sheriff the Mayor wants
to give him a lift. Negotiations are under way
for n reconciliation between the Mayor and Mt
Murphy. They have not progressed far enough
yet to make us dead that they Will be
thoroughly successful. but we are all betting
that the Mayor Will make a speech at the rati-
ication meeting on October %. and that before
the holidays he and Mr.. Murphy will shake
hands and forget that they have had any seri-
Gus differences"
Mayor Mcclellan in making appointments
lately has picked out high grade men, but he
seems to have taken pains not to offend the
Tammany organization leaders by appointing
any one hostile to the organization.
The hard battle that the anti-Murphy men
gave the regular district leaders In more than a
dozen districts last month has convinced
Murphy OF the mistake Of keeping up the fight
with the Mayor longer II he can have peace on
equitable terms. It is believed that the mutual
desire to elect the Tammany county ticket AZ
fords an opportunity for reconciliation.
IF the Mayor and Murphy make up It will
leave water Commissioner o'Priaa, Fire Com
missioner Lantry and Maurice Featherson with
out much patronage at the City Hail. They
have been getting the cream of the patronage
for the last year. and the distribution Will have
10 be on different basis II the Mayor and the
Tammany leader come together.
is he'll C~cr,,,y--t,,,o-
become a regular district leader In the organ
izaton, succeeding Charles Hahn in the 18th
