On the Side on Tammany.
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS HERE NEARLY ALL AGAINST

The factional fight in New York city is a chief
topic OF discussion among the democrats OF the
District, and almost without exception the demo-
Gratis here are bitter In denouncing Mayor Hewi.Ii
They charge that he is the real cause OF dissenton
In New York. and, that in order to gratify his po-
litcal ambition, he is sacrificing the prospects of
the national ticket. The New York Democratic
Association, one OF the most numerous and innu-
entail state organizations at the national capital
is almost unanimously against Hewitt, and most
OF them support Grant, the Tammany candidate.
In the Government Printing Office the active dem
ocratic workers are all for Grant, and declare that
the good OF the democratic party demands the de-
feat OF Hewitt. Democratic sentiment IN WASH
ington almost unanimously sustalns Tammany.
