New YonK, October 1G.- Especial. I-secre-
tary whitney, who was IN the city few days
ago, failed TO accomplish anything towards
bringing aAont union between the local dem
ocraiic factions. 9he leaders conferred with
him, but their lieutenants in tho meantime
were COINS around making bitter personal re-
marks opo8ly, and widening the breach every
minute. No one imagined that there would
he any difficulty whatever in uniting upon
congressional candidates. II seems, however,
that the county democracy was much incensed
because Tamnany nominated Sunset Cox,
Aslihol J.. Fitch and others, without waiting
TO see whether n mutual agreement could
= be made. Yammauy has four moro nomina-
tons to make, but the county democracy de-
clares
NO UNION IS rossIBLE

hasty act IN putting four men in the field 80
early, ana without consultation.

written a letter accepting the denomination for
the mnyorship. In Il he scathes Tammany

with ''spasms of virtue" and saw fit TO nomi-
nate him Tor mayor. lie declares he Is for
tariff reform ana will vote for tho democratic
national nominees, but says nothing Of the
state ticket. He says he has never had
any sympathy with the knownothing move
ment and calls attention To that no himself

cratic national platform OF 1884 on the subject
of immigration, which was adopted without
dissent, both in committee and by the conyen-
lion.
