Intimation was given I'm New York
yesterday that William +. Sheehan Is
the choice of Boss Murphy of Tam
| many Hall for United States senator
| from New York.
Edward NJ. Shepard is the choice of
other conservative democratic leaders in
New York. The radical democrats of the
Bryan ring will oppose both men.
This state of affairs promises, in the
opinion of politicians. to open up lively
senatorial fight in New York state. pos
sibly matching the factional contest al
ready precipitated in New Jersey, the
lines of demarkation being similar.
William F. Sheehan, if put forward by
Tammany. with the solid strength of that
organization behind him and with Erie
| county probably susceptible to Murphy s
| influence, would be a formidable candi-
date.
Partner of Alton B. Parker.
Mr.. Sheehan is identified pre-eminently
with the ultra-cOnservative and pro-cor-
poration interests OF New York. He is
the law partner of Alton B. Parker and is
corporation lawyer
He financed and conducted the Parker
presidential campaign. When he was
boss of Erie county he opposed Grover

York when Roswell P. Flower was COVER
nor. That was in 1891, when he was but
thirty-two years old. and was the culmi-
nation of an ambitious and successful
political career.

Hill. his ally and supporter, was crushed
Leaving Buffalo, he went to New York
city to take up the practice of law.
''Blue-eyed Billy" Sheehan. as they
affectionately call the handsome Irish
man, kept his hold on politics the while
he branched out in business and the
law. He allied himself with Tammany.

politics. and prospered both in business
and politics. He is prominent member
of the aristocratic Manhattan Club, in
f1uential in Catholic circles and knows
every democratic politician of conse-
quence in New York state
He will be bitterly opposed for the
senatorship by the Bryan democrats of
New York. and by the progressive ele-
ment of the democratic party outside of
the Bryan faction, on account Of his cor
pOratfon affiliations. However, If Boss
Murphy has actually decided to support
him the odds are in favor 81 his election

Conservatism in Other States.
Democrats in Washington are much in
terested in watching the progress of the
senatorial contests in many states. 1t
is thought highly probable that ..con-

Ohio, as well as from New York and New
Jersey.

OF the more outspoken say the democratic
membership in the Senate will Iikely be
dominated by the same element which
controlled In Cleveands last administra-
tion.
This would not be at all surprising.

the last campaign, since they know that
in all the big states the democrats work

very end-the selection of conservative
candidates, the adoption of conservative
policies and the determination to stiffen
up the conservatism Of the party in con-
