S. S. Menken Speaks for League
Statement by Shepard.

Democrats In this city did not take Sc
riouslv Yesterday the statement from
Maurice Mnton i'm Albany that quarter
OF million dollars had been raised 10
build up an organization in opposition to
Charles T Murphy. II was intimated that
this was the movement started by the

S Stanwood Menken. one Of the most
active members of the league, said ne
knew nothing whatever of the movement
spoken of by Mr.. Minton- II was true
prominent members of the Democratic
League had been considering the possioil-
ity Of starting an anti Murphy orsaniza-
tion. but they had not reached the point
of raising any money. and they did not
propose 10 take Mr. Minton into their con-
fidence. much less employ him to aid
them.
The impression was that Mr. Minton's
statement was made I'm an effort to
frighten Murphy and the Tammany men,

Sheehan
The following was given out al the Office
of Edward VI Shepard. Yesterday:
with respect to the statement made by
Mr.. Murphy and which has been elsewhere
made that before the caucus proposition
was made that Mr. Sheehan would with
draw If Mr.. Shepard would withdraw. Mr..

he knew or had heard no such PROPOSE
ton was ever made.
Very certainly no such proposition was

after IL. brought 70 his attention or sug-
