Show KILKENNY HARMONY. That I tli Kind that Prevail Aon New York Democrats. Not aince the traditional cats ot Kilkenny Kil-kenny wcro hung across a line by their tails has there been such an amusln harmony or mibdued discord a I heard iu New York, now that Judge D, Oady Hcrrlck has beeu nominated by tb Democrats Dem-ocrats for governor. Judge Parker wanted want-ed Ddwanl M. Shepard, or District Attorney At-torney Jerome nominated for governor la order to galvanize his campaign into th semblance of life. David It. Hill wanted John 13. -Standi-field, because Stjuchtleld best represented represent-ed the organization outside of New York City, to which Mr. Hill owes his ascend-nucy ascend-nucy In the State Democracy, Mr. till) had no use for Derrick, who, as Democratic Demo-cratic boss or Albany County, baa bee a thorn in his side for year. But, It is ald, he accepted Herrlck and pul him In nomination on th principle of the aalexmnn who sold a coat marked $15 for $10, on doubtful credit, bcaus he would lose less it the bill was nevt paid. Hill will lose less In Herrlck' defeat than if he had succeeded in Dominating Domi-nating his friend Stanchfield. Senator I'atrick II. McCarrtn, th Brooklyn boss, to whom Judg Parker owes his nomination, wanted Comptroller Comptrol-ler Grout nominated, and for a Urn h had Mr. Hill's ostensible support for Grout. Judge Parker and Hill went back nn McCnrren; the former to placate Charles i Murphy and Tammany, and the latter because h couldn't help himself. him-self. Tammany accepted Herrlck because I was willing to accept anybody who stood for the discomfiture ot Itoss McCarren. As a tomahawk in the hands of Charles F. Murphy with which to dispatch McCnrren, Mc-Cnrren, D. Cady Herrlck would serr Tammnny much better than either Shepard Shep-ard or Jerome. Itestdes, did not Judge nerrick's career on the bench present sterling claims oa the admiration and necessities of Tata-many? Tata-many? His abuse of his Judicial position posi-tion to the political exigencies In Albany is nlong the line of what Tammany considers con-siders the higher walks of politics. Moreover, More-over, has he not practically pardoned as olllcinl blackmailer and protector ot disorderly dis-orderly houses by Imposlnc a paltry fin of $1,000 ou the notorious police Captain Diamond? a etrokc of judicial leniency toward corruption In New York City peculiarly pe-culiarly attractive to Tammany. It -i would o act as Judge, what prodigies of clemoucy to "good mtn" might be not perform as governor? So Tammany drop ped Mayor McClellau and swallowed Herrlck and his record with genuine rl-lull rl-lull and noisy gusto. Not so, however, the Democratic prat ot New York City. The WOULD take Its medlcln with evident nausei; th TIM US turns Herrlck' picture to th wall and fixes Its gazo on Judge Parker, with the reflection, that ou honorable nomination In four years is as far as th New York Democracy can be expected t pander to the mmewhat blunted moral sentiment of its constituency. Tb EVUN1NG POST openly repudiate Herrlck, saying that a proper regard tot Its own reputation forbids giving his the negative support of silence. Prom this brief re-sum it may b gathered that the elements ror a harmonious harmo-nious Democratic campaign in New York nre all that could be desired from a Itepublican point of view. |
