NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ALLIANCE
scAuslNe MUCH DISCUSSION
IN POLITICAL CIRCLES.
Leaves Little Doubt of Complete Sue
cess Of the Tammany Hall
Ticket.

NEW YoRw, Oct. 1s.-The Republi-
can party in the county Of New York
forming an alliance with william Ran
dolph Hearst by which an equal d.
vision is made Of the nominations for
the Assembly OF Aldermen. while the
organization Of the latter secures a
majority of the places on the county
ticket, and the Republicans in addi-
tion are endeavoring to conduct their
nxht in cooperation with the Inde-
nendence League by simply raising
the cry of Charles <. Hughes. is one
os the novelties of the present political
situation here. Il is very distastefui
to certain Republicans who have not
forgotten all that was said by their
sneakers about Hearst last year
Charles F. Murphy, on the other hand'
who up to about ten days or TWO
weeks ago was said to be in close
touch with the owner of the Journal
and other papers. is eminently salts
ned with the situation. He believes
that the county ticket nominated by
Tammany will win easily and this
time with members of the organiza-
ton only on it.
The question most asked is whether
the Republicans made a mistake IN
this alliance. and as to that there is
much difference of opinion. BY those
who would excuse it, the fact, OF
course. is stated that Odell did the
same thing once when he was boss,
and with good results; so why not
Parsons? But it must not be forgot
ten that in the first place the Cover
nor had no Hearst men on the county
ticket. Secondly, the deal was NOT
made as openly as that of Mr.. Par
sons. There is also the fact that when
the deal was made by the former boss,
Mr.. Odell had never said the things
about Hearst that Parsons and the
Federal administration crowd had
Further, it should be recalled that
Hearst was only half-hearted In his
support of Judge Herrick for Cover
nor back in 1904 against the nominee
nut ND by Odell, owing to his close
relations with the latter, hence 1t is
easy to understand the different con
ditions under which Odell and Parsons
made their deals.
Few people think that the result on
election day will vindicate the judge
meht of Mr.. Parsons. Their idea is
that Hearst has sold him gold brick
This is not without some foundation
For how Hearst can hold his support

marty and another year with the other

it is true, are blind to his sins; bu'
there is a certain percentage OF SUI
ficient intelligence TO understand thai
a political organization which is on
different side of the fence year after

office than promoting principles
Many who voted for Hearst in 1905

so denounced Tammany History will
