THE FIGHT" AGAIN.

The newspapers which are supporting
Mr., Shepard are now full Of threats Of
a ruthless war that must he waged upon
Murphy, but II is not likely that the
boss will be impressed. He has heard
talk Of that sort before, and he has taken
the measure Of his opponents courage
more than once In the past. The Demo
cratic League represented for the most
part those elements in the party which
are now angry because Murphy has re-
fused 10 boss the Legislature their why.
L exhibited its cravenness before ;he
boss 10y keeping him assured that he
need not take seriously its protestations
regarding the rehabilitating OF the party
which IL had in mind. Nothing would
30 done against his interests. he was re-
minded constantly. His friends were on
guard within Il, he was told. and lie
would he kept regularly informed about
every step it took.
Another sham battle Of that sort will
he Of advantage to Murphy. When the
present administration IS over there viii
undoubtedly he great criticism of Muir
phys bosSing Of the Legislature. lie will
need 10 have on hand n host Of malcOn-
tents, Independents, members Of the
better element" who will perhaps again
rehabilitate' the party and show the
public their entire satisfaction with its
moral renovation by yielding 1t once
more their enthusiastic and unqualified
support Possessing cOnsciences of high
rcpute. their Endorsement Of the party
will be an evidence 10 the public Of the
moral safety of being Democrats. When
the well advertised opponents Of bossism
in party rally TO its standard the Ordi-
nary man need not pause TO inquire and
investigate
Moreover. enemies of the sort that
Murphy has made once again are useful
to furnish certificates OF character. If
Mr. Cohalan. Mr.. Sheehan, Mr.. Grady or
Mr.. McCabe were 10 say that the boss
tion and behaved like an ideal leader the
public would laugh, but when even his
habitual foes" are compelled to testify
to the perfect regard which the boss
showed TO the decencies Of the oCca-
sion an impression is sure 10 he pro-

whispers the boss has grown and call
him Mr." some fools are sure 10 be
taken i'm. The advantage 10 boss If
having well defined opponents sufficiently
high placed 10 possess certain fol-
lowing and influence is that opposition
centres around them, and when FOR the
good of the party just before the state
campaign they become regular all the
opposition which has gathered abodt
them is left leaderless and falls 90 pieces
and disappears When Murphy ap-
prOaChes another state election the enc
mics he is making to-day will no doubt
serve the same old useful purpose. The
blacker they grow i'm the face with their
rage AT him and their protests against
his traffic the more serviccable they VIII
be when they again express in loud terms
their satisfaction with the rehabilitation
Of the Democratic party. and when they
confdentially inform the entire elector-
ate that from contact with "Mr." Muir
ply they can say that this time he has
grown and IS acluated only by the
best motives.

MR.. MURPHY AND MURPHY

From Tho New York Evening Post Jsnu-
AIRY =.
N Is idle 10 discuss Murphy's motive n
coming out against Mr. Shepard yesterday
For him il was enough that movement
for political decency was gathering great
force. That necessarily decided him 10
throw his influence against il. Murphy has
simply acted after his kind. II Is said by
some that he has now dropped his mask.
But he was never really disguised PIrati-
cal instincts may be covered up, hut they
cannot be hidden. 1t can never be
cause Of regret that false pretenses are
swept away That is all that has hap.
pened now There Is an end OF the fancl.
ful view that Murphy might be open 70
considerations of the public good and q
resulting honorable party advantage. We
see him now Just we knew him before,
sway'd only by sinister and mercenary in-
fuences. The fable that he has crsved .
reputation for "respectability." and has
developed r capacity for real political lead
orship. is blown away as completely as was
tho fable Of 1890 that there was new
