New YoRK. Oct THE only letter thus
far received from any of the Democratic
nominees in this state is Gen. Slocum's.
No good explanation is given for the fail
ure Of the other candidates On the ticket to
come to time. 1t is said they have not yet
been o-ncially notified of their nominations.
a'ae true inwardness of the delay is thought
by some 20 be desire on their part to see
whether the Democrats of this section will
harmonize on local nominations. To-day
the prospects of such union were brighter
than they had been. The rumors are that
a county ticket acceptable to all but the
Grace Purray- White element has been
agreed upon by the committee of confer
ence. L was reported this afternoon that
. prominent New Yorker had donated
$250,000 for Democratic campaign ex-
penses.
ALVEY contest is in prospect here for the
congressional nominations. Seven con-
gressmen are to be elected from this
county. Benjamin Wood, in the Fifth,
will not seek denomination, but will cast
the weight Of his influence for his journal
istic partner, Col. VIM. Brown, who is a
prominent Irving Hall man. The candi-
date Of the county Democracy is ex-Con-
gresham Nicholas Muller. Charles II
Trainor will be the ''man in the gap'' on
the Republican side, which never counts in
that district except on paper. Congress
man S. S. Cox is again in the field in the
Sixth, where he will make
vigorous canvass. The county Democ-
racy's candidate is Mr.. Charles Reilly.
The district is SO overwhelmingly Demo-
ratic taat no Re- lolican ca1 be fou n
willing to spend either time Or money to
secure the nomination. Congressman
p. II. Dugro is not only ready, but anxious
to obtain denomination in the Seventh,
which is strong German district. Carl
Schurz and John E. Brodsky are the only
Republican candidates mentioned. Gen.
Anson McCook will have a troublous time
before he can secure denomination
in the Eighth. He is the only Republican
Congressman from the city. John D. Law
son, a stalwart of the stalwarts, will cross
words with him for the nomination.
Gen. Lloyd Aspinwall and Fred S. Gibbs,
who ran for senator last year, and were de-
feated. are also candidates. Col. F. A.
Conkling and ex-senator Alfred Wagstaf,
both Irving Hall leaders, are the only
Democratic candidates nominated. Con-
gresham Hardy is sanguine that he will
be his own successor in the Ninth. Ex-col-
lector Thos. Murphy, who ran against
him year ago, is unwilling to risk anoth-
er battle, and the only Republican who ha
manifested any desire to contest the dis
trict is Prof. j. L. Hunt. In the Tenth, A.
S. Hewitt is again in the field. He will be
the choice of the county Democracy. The
wigwam candidate is Gen. Spinola. Ir
wing hall puts in the field Jefferson M
Levy. Last of all comesi the Eleventh, ia
nous as the great battle ground yeal
ago, between Roswell p. Flower and Wm
w. Astor. Whether Mr.. Flower, after hi
failure to obtain the gubernatorial nomi
nation. would consent to run again fol
congress is not yet known. The republi
can candidate will be assemblyman Theo
dore Roosevelt.
