TIID SUNDAY OREGONIANV PORTLAND. AUGUST 30 1908. MURPHY DEADLY . FOEOF HARMONY Democratic . State Convention in New York to Be Rough- ; Li Mo use Affair. - BRYAN'S" FRIENDS. BITTER Declare Boss Has Ruined Party's Chances. and Threaten Vengeance. Throw Out McCarren Dele- gates Is Tammany's Order,. ' BY LLOTD F. LONEROAN. NEW YORK, Aug. OV. (Special.) That the Democratic State Convention, which will convene at Rochester on September 15, will fee a regular Bonny brook Fair Is clearly Indicated by re cent developments. Bryan's friends are bitter when they discuss the outlook. They declare Murphy has ruined-any chance of party success that might have existed,, and add with grim em phasis: "The only thing left for real Demo crat Is to take a whack- at every Mur- phy head, regardless of what nice it may be a candidate for." Some doubt had existed as to ex actly how much, "harmony" would be allowed by the rulers, or rather the ruler of the state organization. ' Mr. Murphy has kindly settled that ques tion In advance of the convention. His statement recalls the reply of the small boy when . requested to give up the core of his' apple. The small boy re plied: "There ain't going to be no core." And Murphy's reply to a sug gestlon ' for "just a little harmony" Is that "there ain't going to be no har mony." - Bryan's friends have requested Mur phy to go easy this year. They do not want to give McCarren or other Demo cratic leaders any excuse to cut the ticket. As .one up-state man said to the "Boss" the other day: "If McCarren wins the primaries, let him be. seated -In the .convention. He cannot do any harm. Tou .will easily be In control, and we will promise you a number of delegates whom you have never had before." '. ' Aai. Murphy-to Bo Good. ' He explained that a number of up state counties wers. controlled " by ar dent followers of Bryan who': never have had, and never will have.-any use for! Tammany Hall. But for the pur pose of harmony,', they were willing to allow Murphy to name the state ticket, without-suggestion or Interference", If he would only consent to' be "good" himself. 'Whereupon Murphy publicly reviles McCarren -.-as 'a, '. "protector of vice." -an. "Infamous creators."' saya'he Is guilty of -treachery, disloyalty and. illegal practices." and winds .up with this charming sentiment: '.; ? . "We VTammany Hall), want nothing of the Democracy of Kings except that they should send to tire general coun cils of the party :honrble; and'clean' men, with whom deoent men 'from bthev parts of ihe Jtatfi ay assoctate. with out' thme?T ' " . ' This 'last revokes from -Comptroller Metz the -fotlewrn-g vigorous reply: "Coming- from-.Murphy. who formerly was a "baTteiideriKan'-East'Slde grog geiy, hls'-Ts YhL scream: of he cam patgn. Brooklyn never had a red light district or legalized vice such as has flourished under Tammany Hall" Murpby. makes bo -secret of the fact that if McCarren elects delegates to the state convention, that they will be unceremoniously llred out. As a re sult of the manifesto of the Boss, con tests have been organized In every As sembly .district In Brooklyn, and. .this word has gone out to the; antl-McCar-ren leadersrr "Don't worry about the vote: Mur phy wflV seat ..every man we sent to Rochester." - ' ' It isjsaid at Tammany Hall that Mur. phy's decialon to make no peace with the McCart-en. organization was influ enced to some extent by the fact that Governor Hughes is now assured of a renomlnatlon by the Republican State Convention at Saratoga. For Murphy figures that with Hughes as the can didate, McCarren's power to do damage to the Murphy gubernatorial nominee will be materially restricted. - Cold Comfort for McCarren. The McCarren Democrats who desire to knife the Murphy ticket will be confronted with the alternative of vot ing for- Hughes or supporting the Hearst candidate to be nominated by the Independence League. This Hob son's choice puts them in a tight cor ner, and Murphy is said to appreciate the disadvantage at which his enemies will be compelled to tight. There.- are men in the anti-McCarren organization who ; are not so full of fight as Murphy. These would be will ing to agree to a compromise leader ship -which- would be supposed to be fair both to McCarren and the men in the districts who now oppose him as county- leader. - It is. -evident though from Murphy's statement that the Tam many leader will not be a party to any agreement which would leave Mc Carren with a vestige of authority. In Murphy's opinion, the only good Mc Carren is a dead and burled McCarren. There- is certain to be a rare mlxup when the rival Democratic factions in Brooklyn come to put their respective tickets for local offices in the field. The allies of Murphy will lay claim to being the regular Democratic organiza tion with the sole right to use the offi cial party column on the ballot, and Just as certainly will the claim be con tested by : the McCarren faction. Of course, there will be appeals to the courts. McCarren has Informed - his friends that he expects to apply to the law to the farthest limit of his power this Fall, - And it is -more than prob able that every single nomination made by either faction will be taken to the courts ior a decision. . ' -"' It Is also likely that the defeated candidates will land on the ballots "by petition' and every good Democrat will be expected Uo cut-hla .ticket freely. All of which makes, the Republicans in Kings TErT.hrPy" Ver expect to make practically a clean sweep in the Congressional, ."-Senatorial and Assem bly' dlstrfct-fighta, ' -..- ; While "ilurphy; wilt not comment on the Interview he Issued the -other day, a leader who Is close to the Big -Chief had this -to .say: ; -- - -- "It wlli "be fight to a-finish, 'with out trucCm!" Quarter, until there is an end of tfre-.Bropklya Senator's leader ship. Mity up-etate- leaders have been trying 4e. hTlag aboXU harmony, but Murphy- prefers an vopen-handed fight to atabsVW the dark.'. He IS .donvlhced that McCarren; wrH.do all he can to beat the tate ticker regardless of any attempts that might be made to placate him.. McCarren's organization will send delegates to- the Rochester convention. SCENES AT MELBOURNE, WHERE AMERICAN FLEET WAS PORTRAITS OF AMERICAN ADMIRAL AND AUSTRALIAN PREMIER LAW COURTS .-ATT TlflLTiOURJSE A - ' .4 er-r V -EXHIBITION J3UU,D1KIS, rT MELBOURNE IN ' WHICH riRST iTUIAMENT Or AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH MET' MAY 1901 and we will kick them out. At the Carnegie Hall gathering we gave Pat a chance to make a roar, but we will not do It this time. - He will be thrown out on the spot, and neither the state committee, which makes up the tem porary roll, or the committee on credentials- will devote a minute's atten tion to him. -"Both will proceed on the theory that the number of votes cast for McCar ren cuts no figure in the matter at all. He Is an outlaw and a traitor, and has no more right to Intrude on a Demo cratic convention than would the Sul tan of Turkey or the Ahkoord" of Swat. He will simply be told to go away, and If he doesn't start quick the sergeant- at-arms will, throw him out bodily. . If McCarren wants to talk he can WTlte to newspapers, or hire a hall of his own. But real Democrats will not con sent 'to associate with him on any terms whatever.. McCarren came out a while ago and said that 'any candidate for Governor or any other state office who wears Murphy's tag will be de feated, horse, foot and dragoons.' Well, we . will give him r. chance, to prove it if ne jean. - Brooklyn Bunch Knockers. This Brooklyn bunch have always been, knockers,. Tou never can count on therr voting the ticket. They are always screaming, and this year we will give them something to scream about" : MrCarren replies to Murphy by calling him a "Fat head" and a few other pleas isnt things. The Brooklyn leader believes Murphy's outburst will help him at the primaries on September. 8, and that is the genera opinion in the. City of Churches. The Senator's chief asset in the primary fight, has been that the opposition to him was engineered by Murphy, who planned to Tammanyize Brooklyn. This, say the McCarren men, has been absolutely proved by the -boss himself, and they figure that It means many thousand ad ditional votes.. "We are chastened by long suffering," said one district leader today. "We have had more (political) bolls that Job, and more trouble than Jeremiah. And we are prepared, to stand anything except being made Into a tall of the Tammany kite. Murphy has helped us by talking Nalnst us." Another distinguished patriot who is going around these days uttering wild yelps of sorrow Is the Hon. Sam Qompers, boss of the American IVderatlon of Labor. Gompers has not yet recovered from his visit to the Central Federated Union In Manhattan, where he Introduced resolutions tending to pledge labor to Bryan. Long before the meeting agents of Gompers gave out circulars, asking organized labor to defeat Its enemies at the polls. - The Republican party was not mentioned, but the antl-lnjunctlon plank adopted at the Denver convention was warmly praised. After Gompers had made a plea for funds "to aid In the defeat of the enemies of labor," he was voted the princely sum of $15, but only after a running debate that rocked the building. Plain Talk to Gompers. Here are a few things that Gompers was told, "right In open meeting:" That time and again the trades unions had been warned to steer clear of politics. That there" was no reason why the Central Fed erated Union should become an ally of the Democratic party. That the only Demo cratic President In forty years "sent U. S. troops Into Chicago to shoot down Ameri can Railway Union strikers." That Gov ernor Flower, the last Democratic execu tive In this state, sent militia to cow the Buffalo strikers, and that In Pennsyl vania, under Governor Pattlson (Dem.) a militiaman was strung up by the thumbs for sympathizing with strikers. Vice-President Albert Abrahams pointed directly t the president of the Federation of Labor as he said. "Gompers has gone to the Democratic party because the Re publican party would do nothing for him. The Democratic party has not stock enough to proclaim Its own bankruptcy. It is a political dead horse and that Is why Bryan needs all the help be can get." Treasurer Morris Brown of the Central Federated Union, arose to remark "what the Republican party did or did not do for labor Is well known. But the Democratic party Is even worse than the Republican party. The Democratic party is every bit as bad as the Republican. ' We got a lemon at Denver as well as at Chicago." Here Is the resolution which Gompers tried to have Indorsed. The opposition to it was so bitter that its advocates did not dare to allow it to go to a vote: Text ot Rejected Resolution. "The Democratic "party indorses labor's demands and pledges Itself to carry them Into effect If it la put into power. We earnestly ask .you .to make the choice which Is in accordance with the best in terests of yourselves and of all the people. If the men of labor and our friends fall to do their duty they will have to reckon with even a worse condition of affairs than now obtains. - We now call upon' the workers of our common country to stand faithfully by our friends, oppose and de feat our nemles, whether they be candi dates for President for Congress or other offices, executive, legislative or judicial." So all Bryan has made out of his "labor campaign" In New York City is J15. And that will not pay the hotel bill of Presi dent Gompers for the time, he sptjni .In missionary work her ' - "r iirmrrui.' tt! A1 i TAFT FOE OF COLORED RAGE NEGRO BISHOP VEHEMENT!! ASSAILS REPUBLICANS. Says Candidate Is Party With Roosevelt In Conspiracy- to Assist "Lily Whites." NEW YORK. Aug. 29. Henry Watter son, of Kentucky, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, today gave out In this city an advance copy of -an address' which Is to be issued by Bishop" Alexander Walters, of the African Methodist Epis copal Church, to the colored people of the country. In his letter Bishop Walters alludes to Judge Taft as "a party to the blackest conspiracy - ever perpetrated against negro soldiers." Bishop Walters accuses President Roosevelt and the Republican candidate of having "practically Indorsed the' 'Illy white' movement in the South, which has for its ultimate object the practical elimination of the negro from politics," and adds that the appointment of the Hon. Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, an ex-Confederate soldier and Democrat, to succeed Mr. Taft as Secretary of War was "a bid for Democratic support." "The Republican party." he continues, "has shown itself impotent to enact fur ther legislation in our interest. 'This Is evident from Its failure to have Con gress pass a bill . to have lynchers tried in Federal Courts." "The Democratic party." he asserts, further on, "is the only party that can change the discriminatory legislation which has been enacted against us without a great political upheaval, amounting almost to a revolution. Where ever we have had sense enough to help the Democratic party, notably In New York City Democrats have always shown a willingness to treat us with consider ation." After stating that he had been informed that Dr. Washington had abused him for urging colored people to vote for Bryan, the bishop declared that he merely urged colored people to divide their vote and decide for themselvs the questions at is sue, although he himself would vote for Bryan. SCORES RAILROAD OWNERS Indianapolis Manufacturer Says Management Has Been Inane. CHICAGO, - Aug. 29. "If the railroads would conduct their affairs along the lines of any well-managed manufacturing or other corporation "and put a proper amount of their earnings into better ments, there would be no necessity for Increasing rates, and public animosity would not be aroused. The railroads have pursued the policy of the Arkansas farm er. When it rained they couldn't fix their roof, and when it did not rain they did not need to fix It" This is the keynote of a letter received yesterday by the Illinois Manufacturers' Association from C.

He asserts that the railroads themselves are to blame for hostile legislation. Many practices of the . roads are criticised se verely by the writer, who says that large communities In many cases have been built up at the expense of the smaller cities on account ef railroad discrimina tion, rather than by reason of natural advantages of location.
