Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-06

]
night. Tammany Hall, in four large trains
of Pullmans and baggage cars, had the
largest single party and spent the longest
time in the city.
During the stay in Omaha the delega-
tions and delegates" from New York
City spent a quiet Sabbath morning. No
| hammers rung; no anvils beat" but the
| members of Tammany went Immediately
to the Catholic churches of the city, as
]. ]. Murphy, brother of Boss Murphy,
remarked, The Lord Is on our side, out
we can see no good excuse for exasperat-
! ing the devil by allowing him to find 1t
| cut" A large number of the delegates
| attended the services at st. Mary Magda-
lene church, Nineteenth and Dodge streets
where on orders of J. j. Murphy, each
delegate contributed So gold piece
Only few Dahlman democrats met the
Tammany specials, which were advertised
| to arrive at 10 o'clock, but came in ahead
Of time over the Milwaukee and st. Paul,
Rock Island and Northwestern lines. Some
OF the delegates spent two hours at the
Dahlman club and others who did not care
to go 10 church were given a whirl about
the city in automobiles.
Not Jealous for Bryan.
! Tammany was not very enthusiastic
about Bryan or anyone else. Only small
badges told that they were going to a
national convention of their party. No
| banners decorated the cars; no portraits
OF the peerless one filled the windows The
coo seemed like those who had marched
into the valley Of death too many times to
care whether they marched there again or
not OF like a hungry horde of followers
whose hearts have been sckened by the
hopeless tedum of unpromising delav
The delegates did not even regard each
| other gngerly and those on one section
did not know nor care who was on the
others. They knew Big Tim Sullivan.
Judge j. Walsh and ]. J. Murphy were
with the party.
But one thing which they all seemed 70
be agreed upon was that Pat" McCarren
OF Brooklyn is to be thrown out of the
convention and to enable Tammany to re-
tain a little influence across the river" II
is likely that the whole noble COO will boost
for Judge William J. Gaynor of Brooklyn
for vice president.
ChanIer out of the Race.
w. b. Murphy, private secretary TO Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler said he knew
that Mr.. Chanler was out of the race for
the vice presidency.
THE lieutenant governor told me before
! left that he was not TO be considered as
candidate in any sense" said Mr.
Murphy. THE lieutenant governor ha'
been prominently mentioned for the vic'
presidency, but as a matter of fact he II
to be the next nominee OF the party fo
governor of New York and he will b.
elected.
with Chanler at the head OF the stat
} ticket New York will go democratic jus
sure, as Chanler is a very strong man ii
the Empire state.
I'm New York William j, Bryan Il
stronger than ever. He is sure of New
York against Taft and Sherman. No on,
thinks anything of Jim Sherman back ii
New York"
The New York situation which will b.
, one of the hardest nuts 10 crack a Den
ver," was not a popular topic of converse
, ton with the Tammy delegation. Neithe
j j. Murphy, brother Of Charles F. Muir
ply. nor Morris Featherstone, Murphy's op
ponent, cared to discuss the situation. Sen
ator James F. Crawley and Senator Johl
Cohalan said the little difficulty whc
Tammany has on with Brooklyn would b
settled without trouble, and they had moth
ing further TO say.

- Tammany may be for Bryan, but l am nc

L Bryan may also carry New York but / ar
% not New York and know nothing about l.,
The New York delegates had no intentio
| OF stopping at Fairview. They desired
hasten on to Denver, where the big Me-
York caucus is 70 be held Monday, wher
8 the plan seems TO be TO agree on Bryan
patch up a platform, nominate Judge Gay
nor Of Brooklyn for vice president IN orde
d to offset the injury which Tammany wi

Il for the sake OF Tammany politics, the
