SHEPARD sTIRs MURPHY UP.

The scorchng letter written by Mr..
Edward NJ. Shepard in withdrawing
from the Senatorial contest in New
York. stung Chief Murphy of Tammany
Hall into reply. Mr. Murphy is un-
donbtedly keen antagonist, and he
makes his points of reply, both gen
eral and personal, most effective And
yet his reply does by no means dispose
of Mr.. Shepard g charges. The point
thai seems 10 have stuug Mr.. Murphy
the hardest was where Mr.. Shepard
called Tammany a "'voting trust 1t
was happy phrasing of words to de
scribe an actual condition, and is by
no means disposed of when Murphy
shows In part and claims in other part
that Mr.. Shepard would have been
glad TO get the strength of that voting
trust for his own candidacy, and that
he even attempted to get it. In so
far as that point as concerned, Mr.
Murphy, if he is telling the truth, dis
credits 10 a degree Mr. Shepard S dis
interestedness and claim of contempt
for Tammany; for, if Mr.. Shepard
sought the support of Tammany, he is
by that act debarred from denouncing
Tammany, on the ordinary political
rules of ethics; and yet Mr.. Shepard
did denounce Tammany, and de-
nounced it very hard. If he asked its
if he holds it in such horror and con
tempt as he claims to do; but even
that act does not destroy his denuncia-
tion Of Tammany as the "voting
trust and as containing within it
self pretty much of the evils of cor.
rupt political methods.
The withdrawal of Mr. Shepard from
the contest for u, S. Senator does
not seem so far TO have had any
special effect, The expectation that
Mr.. Sheehan would withdraw also
when Mr.. Shepard withdrew has not
been realized. Mr., Murphy says thnt
Shechan offered to withdraw good
while ago if Shepard would. That was
the time he claims Shepard should
have withdrawn. After refusing then
TO do so. he has no claim upon Sheehan
for the latter's withdrawal now That.
of course, is good political reasoning.
and yet the lmpossibilIty of Sheehan s
election appears TO be conceded by
everybody, including Governor Dix. and
probably including Murphy himself
There are signs. accordingly, that the
situation is clearing, and that the way

TIE AMENDMENT FAILS.

1T was foregone conclusion that
the proposed constitutional amendment
allowing Senators to be elected by pop
ular vote would be beaten, after the
Sutherland attachment was tackled ON
to it. This amendment distinctly put
in the hands of Congress power To pass
a force bill, allowing the interference
of the Federal authority within the
State in the popular elections AT which
the Senator would be chosen. Whether
that right Of interference exists now
or not, it has all along been certain
agree to formally recognize 1t by vot
ing for such power to interfere With
the States, and so the Southern Sen
ators voted against it. Tho vote was
fifty four in favor and thirty.thrce
against it. But since the measure, iL
order to pass, must have twothirds
vote, il was defeated.
The Senators from Utah divided on
this vote, Sutherland voting for the
proposition for the sake of his obnoX-
ous amendment, and Smoot voting
against it on the general principle that
he is satisfied with things as they
are. The Idaho Senators also divided,
Borah voting for the amendment and
Hepburn against il.
And so, all the time that has been de.
voted by the Senate to this proposition
has been time wasted, and the worst
Of 1T is that everybody knew it would
be waste of time from the moment that
the Sutherland attachment was fixed
upon the proposition.
