TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In "The London Daily Telegraph
Of January 3 one Of the late Henry r.
wings sons is urging the publication Of
the late NIr Macready's diary, which the
present possesso~ intends TO destroy, a
most sensible thing to do. Mr.. Macready
was q man OF morose character, very big
oted and very sarcastic at the expense OF
his fellow actors and critics.
My grandfather, who was for many
years with Mr. Macready and was able to
supply Mr.. Macready with many valuable
suggestions owing 10 his wide and varied
career, was often a butt for his with
cisms. as my grandfather was an excel
lent elocutiorist and Macready, I under
stand was not
feel certain that the late Mr.. Macready,
who, by-the-bye, never disguised his dis
like for actors would not desire, were he
alive. the publication OF his diary, as 1t
may contain entries which he made when
under some stress OF emotion or suffering
from q bilious attack. Mr.. Irving sug-
cests that the victims OF Macready's
spleen are numbered among the dead, and
the publication thereof cannot possibly
hurt the dead, but what about the rela-
tives, and also that little motto DE
mortuis nihil nisi bonum"? Histrionical-
" they can be Of no value, and to stir up
dirty water is hardly worth eXpending
money. Notwithstanding Mr.. lrving's desire
70 do so. CHARLES DRAM LANDER.

MISTER MURPHY"
He Is No Longer the Leader "Actuated

The question to-day is not so much

Empire state shall sink into tho clutches OF
Murphy. That ls the threatened outrage

Well. the state is getting a good look
at Murphy. Hitherto he has kept down
in this corner Of il, and the rest Of New
York had gradually come to regard him
ia the light of a tabled monster, bOgie
man invented by the Republican party
for its own purposes. Now he is on
view, bOssing the Legislature with a
brutal sort Of boSsiSm such as this state
has not seen in years, representing in
the most harefaced manner precisely the
selfish interests he was said 10 represent
and endeavOring TO club his party into
accepting a Senator whom it repudiates
He is right on the job. He trusts no
middlemen to do his bosSing for him.
No one shares the centre of the stage
with him. 1t is he and no one else
who is doing the work. and he wants all
men to know it so that they will be
properly terrified. The little bOSslets
have been sent home, it is said, so that
that man Dix" will be made to under
stand that he has one man to deal with
and that he will get nothing he wants
from the Legislature unless he is good.
