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.

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

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. C. Hanch, of Indian
apolis, vice-president of the National
Manufacturers' Association, In reply to a
pamphlet favoring an Increase of freight

Mr. Hanch admits the necessity for
enormous expenditure upon the part of
the transportation companies, but denies
a general Increase in rates is necessary.
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.
