their homes arrived here YESTERDAY.
Most Of the local men made for some
country place to spend the Fourth in

As quickly as possible trains that would
tahe them to their families and a real
night y sleep.
Charles +. Murphy was ono of the frs.
Tammanyites in. With him came several
of the Tammany guard and op the same
train were Justice Cohalan. Col. George
Harvey and several delegates from Maine
and Massachusetts.
Mr.. Murphy went TO his country home
at Good Ground. He would say nothing.
He explained that he had said all that h
wished in the statement he gave out in
Baltimore on Tuesday night when. after
the nomination OF Gov. Wilson, he prom
ised the enthusiastic and loyal support
OF Tammany to Gov. Wilson and pre-.
dicted his election.
The first Wilson banner in the city VA
stretched opposite Tammany Hall soon
after daylight yesterday morning This
was done by order OF Mr.. Murphy. who
Immediately after Gov. Wilson had been
nominated directed Secretary Tom Smith
Of Tammany Hall to instruct the wigwam
to have a Wilson banner hung across
the street before nightfall. There va,
not time for these instructions to becar-
ried out on Tuesday night. but the banner
was there yesterday morning when thu
milk carts we're on their rounds. The
name of Gov. Marshall OF Indiana. the
nominee for Vice. President will be added
to the banner to-day.
None OF the Tammany men would
permit themselves to comment for pub.
lication on the gossip that has come out
of Baltimore that because of the course
which Charles F. Murphy took in stick
ing to Speaker Clark when it was ap.
parent that he could not he nominated
Il movement would be started to make
Senator y German. who from the outset
urged the selection of Gov. Wilson. tho
State leader in place Of Mr. Murphy.
While one or two OF the delegates admitted
some change in the State leadership after
the election. the most Of them professed
not to have heard hint Of such rumor
and added that they doubted II Go.

Il d0hot see how Col. Roosevelt can do
anything but continue his third party
movement. That will surely result in
benefit to the Democratic party, while it
will draw some of the strength Of the
regular Republican organization. And in
this connection want to say that the
Democratic party is dominated by prin-
ciples rather, than the man. Mr.: Bryan
is eliminated as a factor in division OF
party strength. 1t ia now united. Men
Of sober minds always believed Mr.
Bryan was dominated by his own selfah-
ness. At the Baltimore convention Mr..
Bryan was repudiated.
"The New York situation at the con-
vention was consistent one. The dele
cation were uninstr,icted, their sole object
and desire being the hest thing for the
Democratic party and TO give their sup
port to the candidate who was able TO

q great number OF preferential primary
delegates. After votes had been given
to Gov. Harmon by the New York dele

the votes were given to Speaker CLARK

Clark could not receive the necessary
votes for his nomination. New York. with

Chairman James ID. Ball Of the Kings

said:

support the ticket because il represents
