The caucus of the two Democrntlo Senatorsmid seventeen Assemblymen from Kingscounty for tlio purposo of outlining a plan ofaction at Albany will be held in theExecutive Committee room in tlio ThomasJefferson iu Iliooklyn. All of them havealready held preliminary confeiencos withHugh McLaughlin, and as his views on thodisturbed political situation are pretty willunderstood and will be implicitly respected,there Is not much doubt as to what the actionof the caucus will bo.
Mr. Mclaughlin from first to last has givenno encouragement whatever to the untlsnap brigade, which has been trying to organ-ir- e
an active revolt ugainst Ldvvard Murphy.Jr., In tho Kings county delegation. Wiiat-ev-
his Individual views may do as to thecandidacy of Mr. Murphy for the Sonatorship.he has distinctly and emphatically declaredthat the Kings county benatoisaud Assembly-men will attend the regular caucus at Albany,and will not bolt in case Mr. Murphy is madethe candidate. Mr. McLaughlin made tillsstatement befuro .Mr. Cleveland's prouuncia-ment- o
against Mr. Murphy wus issued, and liestill abides by it. Mr. McLaughlin has usedBubstantlilly this argument to peisons whohave close political relations with him:
"Tlio representatives of tho tegular KingsCounty Democracy have never bolted a caucusoi convention, and thore is nothing In thepieseut crisis which should ptovoke such ac-tion. It is true that .Mr. Murphy was opposedto .Mr. Cleveland's nomination, and spoke outhis mind freely both beforo and during theConvention, but lu this respect he was In thesaino boat with Senator Hill. liov. I lowei.Lleut.-tjo- Sheohan. Mr. Croker.and thootherDemocratic loadors. When Mr. Cleveland,howovor. was nominated. Mi. Murphy and nilhis friends took off tiiolr roits und workedloyally and realously foi Ills election, and theynil. I think, (list no great thanks for theirHPlcndld work during the canvass. Did notSenator Hill eomo lo Hrooklyu und Inauguratethe State cuinpnlgn with one of the greatestbpucchoj which was heard during the can-vass
"I don't romembertoliave heard any uues-tlo- n
raised during the campaign as In lhpolitical sagacity or ability ot Mr. .Murphy, andit Is not likely that his tltuess to occupy it neatin the Senate would havo been Questioned ifho hud beeud study tidmiier of Mr. Clovu- -
' Suppose for the sako of argument the Kingscounty delegation wns determined to opposeMr. Murphy to the extent of bolting the cau-cus, what then ensues I Would there not be astate ot confusion at Mbany seldom witnessedthere The llrst thing wo would hour of wouldbe combinations und schcmlngs, with thu
and tho repiesentutlvos from thiscounty would finally hnd themselves out inthe cold,
"ho far as I havo beard, Mr. Murphy is a manof much force of character and ability. Hehas uoon u good manager ot his own privateaffairs, and ifor yoars has becu consideredutile enough to bo ut tho head of the Demo-oratl- o
State oreanlratioii. and 1 think thn gie.itvictories iu recent years should bo remain-be- n
d to his credit. Ho may be a 'liimdetrong'man. but tlio sama might be said of Mr. Cleve-land himself, i want to so tho part) in thoStale us well ns In tho nation united, und 1
would, or course, deplore the election r anyDomocrut from tlio State of New- - ork whowould goto Wushlucten, with the Intontlou ofantagonizing the Administration."
When tho Senators and Assemblymen gettogethorto-nlKh- t under tho brilllnnt electriclights in the Thomas Jefferson, and with theveteran leader of theivlngs oiuinty Democ-iiie- j
not faroff, a resolution will probably boudopted favoring Mi. 'Julgley fortlieSpeakei-t-hl- p
