Afterwards the cowboys attacked the
herd of 3,000 sheep, hundreds of which
were shot and the rest forced over
high banks into ravines.
The cowboys then rode off, and later

TAMMANY WON'T ENTHUSE OVER PARKER
. o SRR y
The Great Democratic Organization Is Very Apathetic Towards
Hill’s Man. Leader Murphy Point.s Out Why Parker Could Not
: Carry New York State Should He Be Nominated.
The other day the Parker contingent
in the New York state ~democracy,
alarmed at the apathy and indifference
of Tammany Hall, and forecasting de
feat in its discontent, sought to induce
Charles F. Murpby, as the head of
Tammany Hall, to accept a position
upon the democratic state committee
along with McCarren and othergs of
David B. Hill’s men. Mr. Murphy
flatly refused to accept such a position,
and in refusing gave an expression of
his own and Tammany’s reason for op
position to Alton B. Parker. We
quote from a recent interview:
“Belmont held out an aliuring finan
cial prospect. David B. Hill made
promises of political preferment and
favor if Mr. Murphy would accede to
his and Belmont’s desire. Murphy
stoutly refused all the inducements
and scorued the offers of reward. Mr.
Murphy was not opposed to Judge
Parker from a personal standpoint.
He had no personal animosity or griev
ance against that gentleman. But Mr.
Murphy insisted that Mr. Parker was
a weak candidate. He asserted that
Parker could not carry the national
democracy to victory, nor could he
carry the state of New York.
“And Mr. Murpbhy gave reasouns that
are based on facts and figures. The ad
vocates of Judge Parker have thrust
him,forward as the strongest candi
date for the reason that he once car
ried New York. That is true.- But
Mr. Murphy showed that Judge Parker
secured his victory in New York when

Greater Georgia Association Will
Go Out Business. J
The executive committee of the
Greater Georgia Association’ met on
Thursday in Atlanta in annual session.
The association has been organized
just a year, and has spent about $20,000,
chiefly in distributing advertising

apything that has been accomplished,
and it is said the association will prob
ably go out of business.

one of the opposition parties had nom
inated no candidate.
“Juage Parker in that election re
ceived a smaller vote than Van Wyck,
Bryan 1n 1900, than Coler in 1902. Yet
Parker was elected. Judge Parker
received 554,680 votes. Bryan in 1900
received 678,000—124,000 more votes
than Parker. And yet Bryan was
beaten. Coler in 1902 received 101,000
more votes in New York thaun Parker,
and Coler was bsaten. Van Wyck,
democratic candidate for governor in
1898, received 90,000 more votes than
Parker, and still Van Wyck was beat
en. This shows that Parker owed his
victory to the fact that one of the op
posing parties had nominated no can
didate to contest his office, and not his
popularity as a vote-getter. He got
only 3,000 more votes in 1897 than Bry
an got in 1896; he received fewer votes
than Coler, than Bryan in 1900, and
Van Wick in 1808. And still he was
elected, '
“[eader Murphy insisted that the
facts are against Judge Parker’s
scrength as a vote-getter.
“For these reasons he refused to
throw up his hat for the judge. For
these reasons he insisted that the
democracy of New York should go to
St. Louis seeking the strongest candi
date, and not tied to the chariot wheels
of Judge Parker, with Hill and Bel
mont- holding the reins. And that
Leader Murphy is still of the same
opinion is shown by the developments
at Albany.””

BROKE A ROOSTER’S LEG.
Thrilling News Telegraphed from
the Scene of War.
A cable dispatch from Vladivostok a
day or two ago brought the ponderous
intelligence that a shell exploded in
the yard of General Stoessel’s house
and broke the leg of a rooster! Vladi
vostok is on the other side of the
world, some thousands of miles away.,
The telegraphic rates from Vladivos
tok to New York are several dollars
per word. And yet the war correspon
dents in the Far East thought the
breaking of the leg of a rooster in the
yard of a Russian general was of so
much interest to the waiting world
that the information was telegraptred
all those miles at » heavy cost. Can
silliness go further?
