The Democratic Nominees for the New
York MayoraIty.
NEW YORK, October 6.-[Special. l-Abram
s. Hewitt was renominated for mayor today
by the county democracy. lie is the candidate
OF two conventions, and may be Endorsed by
the German democracy and one or two other
political organizations. The issue Of the bat
lie is Joined with Tammany hall, and the
most pronounced optinists in either faction
do not expect anything but fierce local fight
such as has not been seenin this city Tor years
Hugh j. Grant the Tammany candidate, is
an honest and incorruptbe man, but he is
thorough representative Of his faction, and
will not gain single vote from any other Or
ganizaton. Mayor Hewitt WILL at the least
calculation, carry 80 per scent OF the republic
can vote. His total vote will reach, IT is
thought, 125, 900, and elect him beyond per-
adventure. Hundreds Of prominent republi-
cans have already declared for Hewitt
The republicans are in guam

They think ii would be the highest political
diplomacy to get a dummy mayoralty candi-

candidate they might select would run behind
Harrison 5000. The republican organizations
in this city are like those in the south, main
tanned more for trading and selling out purposes
than for loyalty to the party. They clearly
hold the balance of mower in the comfy cleo
tions when the democrats are divided; but
they have been trained to trade, and cannot
be depended upon to vote s0l1dly one
way. Tho republicans who live in the brown
stone houses on Murray hill and the fashion
able quarters of the city, feel independent and
had rather have good mayor elected, irres-
spectiYe OF his politics. than a republican pres

excitement, of course, about the situation here
with regard to the effect that democratic local
divisions may have upon the state and ma
tional elections.
saw Mayor Hewitt today, and put the ques-
ton squarey to him, if he did not think the
chances of President Cleveland and Governor
Hill seriously ieopardized by factional differ
ences. He was wary in his reply, at first and
said: '"The. more cat fights the moro cats"
After saying that there might be several other
mayoralty candidates besides Grant and him
self, he drifted back to my first question and
added: 81 can see no danger to the
national and state tickets. My opinion is
that strong fight will bring out every demo-
cratic vote in the city. Our city government
is for the benefit of its citizens and presume
many, yes, a great majority, will vote ire
spectiye of and without special reference to
tho national ticket. But the regular demo-
cratic vote Of this city will, in my Judgment.

that, all things considered, they had no fear
