shEEHANITFs AFTER MORE VOTES.
Immediately after the Legislature adj
journeC he Sheehan adherents renewed
their eh Jrts 10 secure converts and a.
the same time TO keep unbroken their
solid phalanx of supporters. The friends
OF Shepard did likewise. The Shepard
champions are more eager now 10 defeat
Sheehan than they are hopeful of bring
ing about the election Of their own man.
Their desire now L.. they admit, TO cause
the election of compromise candidate.
The Sheehan people say tonight that
they have made converts and the shepard
have captured recruits from the Shaehan
ranks.
EAGER TO WIN WITH SHfFHAN.
Democrats who talked with Charles
T. Murphy. NJ. Sheehan. Daniel +
Cohalan and their friends saw that
Mr. Sheehan having becone the candi-
date for Senator of the Democratic state
win with him If possible and to accept no
compromise candidate until it s positively
known that Mr. Sheehan cannot be
elected. This attitude was taken, IL was
explained, because it became known that
while Mr.. Shepard's friends admitted that
he could not be q ected they still believed
that the majority representatives Of the
Democratic State organization could be
forced TO accept compromise candidate
upon whom Mr.. shepard : friends could
agree. The representatives of the Demo
cratic State organization said the present
condition Of affairs was a case of the tail
trying to wag the dog"
POSSIBLE COMPROMISE CANDIDATES.
Many comments were heard to-day as
to the reason that close friends of Mr..
Shepard said that "a soon as ii IL amply
demonstrated that he cannot win he may
decide TO retire from the contest and
come out for compromise candidate,
such as Alton r Parker or D-Cady Her.

Mr.. Shepard will still he far behind in the
race and that the Shepard people know
the representatives of the State organiza-
ton. even though they should come To the
conclusion that Mr.. Sheehan cannot win,
will not under any circumstances accept
Mr.. Shepard The Shepard people. reply
ing to the statement that they will not be
permitted TO name the compromise candl-
date. tell you that the Sheehan supporters
cannot AFFORD 20 take any high tone with
them for the reason that Senator Roose-

senting an offensive and defensive alliance
could be very destructive i'll Legislative
matters
Those Interested in Mr. Sheehan's
candidacy said to-day that they could not
Democratic Assembiymen voted for
Alton b. Parker, Mr.. Sheehans partner,
and they added that they did moi under
stand why Judge Parker had not come
here and personally informed these six
Democratic Assemblymen that he was not
a candidate for United States Senator
These comments We're made by the
Democrats for the reason that Judge
Parker has publicly announced that he
was not a candidate for Senator and has
issued statements favorable to MIR. Shee-
han Notwithstanding this attitude Of
Judge Parker these six Democratic As
semblymen have voted for him.
No significance was attached to-day
to the vote for Supreme Court just ice
Gerard Yet it was said that among the
twelve AssemblymeD who voted for Mr..
Shepard there are Gerard adherents;
that is, that as soon as these Shepard
men can conveniently do so they will
change to Gerard.
HOPE FOR sHEEHAN VICTORY TO-DAY.
The Sheehan people, however. are ut
terly confident tonight that they will
have a majority OF the joint Democratic
vote tomorrow. They tell you that
