M. C. Murphy has not yet chosen his associate member. He Is looking- for a manufacturer who employs a large number of men, and can consequently furnish places for a number of people. So far he has not found a man whose appointment would strengthen the district organization.

The business end of the new committee is a heterogeneous collection of more or less respectable figureheads, with vocations ranging from a college professorship and a boss brewer to broken-down politicians out of a job. In.

districts where tile Tammany chieftain was sure of his hold on the organization. the district leader has been allowed to choose a man who (tiled the bill outlined by Mr. Crolier when lie- sprung his scheme on the Kxeaitlve Committee last month. A large employer of labor and a man not likely to bother much with patronage has been in such cases generally selected.

In the new arrangement Mr. Croker has broken down an Important element of opposition extending through the Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Els- trictsby bringing: ex-Police Justice Henry Murray and ex-Assemblyman Thomas H. McManus Into Tammany. Mr.

Murray is a business Is, he owns a coking above all he Is a politician with a chronic thirst for office. He will demand a fair share of the patronage and take a little more inside of a year or make trouble. A natural born politician is Business Man McManus, of the Eighteenth. He has. a born thirst for power, great popularity with his followers and will not be long content to follow Mr.

Plunkitfs lead. In the Nineteenth District, where the following of ex-Mayor Grant is strongest, and in the Twenty-first, presided over by Police Commissioner James J. Martin, no pretense at naming a business man as associate leader was made In both districts keen, ambitious lawyers, with strong political tendencies were named, by Mr. Croker's orders In Mayor Gilroy's own district, the Twenty- eeventh, Mr. Croker's real estate partner and personal friend, Peter Meyer was put in to divide the responsibility and authority of leadership with Police Js'ew Jersey ami has eight wagons They don't want "nothin' but what's cornin' to 'em," and the probability Is that when Mr.

"I wouldn't take a job then," said Mr.

Seelig yesterday, "and I won't now. I took the leadership because Mr. Bourke wanted me to." Mr. Seelig is about thirty-eight years of age and has live boys and one girl, ranging from fifteen down. Since Johnny Brorisky left the east side Mr.

Seelig is considered the handsomest man in the Third District. He is wealthy, and popular with the younger element. WILL HELP CORONER PITZPAT- James E. RICK. Dougherty, the business ut poll- Hall all Justice Welde.

Scully the Tammany leader in the Fifth As sembly District, received from Four teenth street, and it caused Leade Scully many sleepless nights.

As almos everybody on the east side knows, anj body who amounts to anything In th Fifth District is either a politician wants an office, and the hunt for an as slstant leader was consequently not sinecure. Scully had taken up a dozei names one by one, but rejected after deliberation, until he suddenly thought of John E. Murphy, the well known grocer, of No. 654 Grand street There was just the sort of a man he wanted, but would he take it? Although It was late at night, Leader Scully repaired to the Murphy domicile in Grand street, and offered Grocer Murphy the business leadership of the district The grocer pondered several minutes before He and Scully have been friends from boyhood. They had kept up their happy relations, and now their riendshlp was to be more binding Groer Murphy debated the matter with his wife and Scully left the house a happy man.

Murphy had consented. Mr. Murphy is a rich man, but he Is learly so by his own industry. At the of fourteen he called at the grocery itore of John Gaynor, which was located the same place on Grand street and. Works.

He was reappointed by Mayor I'Mtm In JS83 and retired in 18S6. He has three children, the eldest of whom is a son in business with him. BAP.XEY MARTIN'S SIDE PARTNER. John E. Walsh, who will look on while Police Justice "Barney" Martin runs the lammany Hall politics of the Eighth IHstrlct, is the largest employer of labor his district.

He is a member of the firm of Walsh Brothers, stevedores, at King nnd West streets, and seldom has fewet than 1.000 or .1,200 men in his employ. Sometimes the number runs up to 3,000. I here are three brothers in the John Peter H. and Robert E. Walsh.

K. Walsh was born In Ireland about fifty years ago, and came to New York with his parents when about nine years of age. He has lived in the Seventh Ward ever since, was educated in the public schools. Mis father was a stevedore and he and his brothers succeeded to the business, and have built it up to its present proportions. Just now the firm has charge of the shipping of the Krupp guns that were exhibited at the World Fair.

-Mr. Walsh is a solid-looking man, with a smooth, florid face. He is one of the finiet, unassuming kind, but is counted in excellent business man, with a strong- Hand for mechanics. He is benevolently Inclined, and his purse is never closed io church or charity. His neighbors say, "John E.

Walsh is a gentleman." He lives In one of Mrs. Amos J. Cummings's houses, at No. 30 Charlton street, with Ills wife and three children, and is a held or solicited office, and his present position was forced upon him. He will In no way Interfere with Justice Martin's plans.

JIM BOYLE'S HELPMATE. Klcharrl Fitzpatrlck, the new associate Tammany Hall leader in the Ninth District, is a self-made man, and has made a pretty good job of It. His father was a stevedore In a small way. He had a houseful of boys, and hail hard scratching lo get along-. "Dick," as his friends call him, was the youngest of the lot.

He was born and brought up in Went Thirteenth street, and lives there yet, in the same block where he iirst sa" the light of day. He is an old Nlnt ward boy, and attended Gramma School No. 16, in West Thirteenth stree near his home. The elder Fitzpatrlck died in 1876. tvhe Richard was eighteen, and the six boy took the business and carried it on.

An this is the way It came out: Two of th boys are dearl; Richard, the "kid" of th ys of the district Ilk COMMISSIONER SHEEHAN'S AID. Charles W.
