DISCUSSING CONGRESS NOMINATIONS.

FREE TRADE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES NOT
WANTED IN THIS CITY.
There IS good deal OF Interest felt this year over
the Congress nominations. THIS Is the largest manu-
featuring city In the United States and II rank Tree
trade Democrats are nominated there is possibility
that some of them Will receive an unpleasant sur
prise on election day The feeling between Pammany
Hall and the County Democracy Is now so bitter that
there may be candidates for Congress run by both
organizations. In that case the Republicans would
certainly carry tho XIth and XIIth Districts and pos
sIbly the Xth and XIIth. In the With District Amos
j. Cummings will be renominated by the County Dc
mocracy If he desires IT, John L. Martin Is looking or
the Tammany nomination. Should he receive II and
the Republicans run a candidate, the contest would
be a close one.
LLOYD Bryce, ex-MayOr Cooper's s0n-lnlaw rep
resens the With District. 1t Ia safe to say that Tam
many Hall will run candidate against him. There
Is large Republican vote In the district and the vote
would be sufficiently close 20 make 1t good lighting
ground " Tim" Campbell will run again In the Win
District az the County Democracy candidate. with
a part OF the Republican vote to aid him he bad
very margin two years ago. and the fight prom
iscs to be just as close this year. 1t is not yet de
cded whether TOM Grady, the svcrtonguod,"
will again be his opponent the part of Tammany
Hall. ExReglster Reilly and Charles scckler, tho
Tammany leaders in the AIVth and Xth Assembly j s.
tricts now that Sunset" Cox Will not again receive
the Tammany nomination for Congress from The IAN
District, ment oncd candidates to succeed him.
The district is Overwhelmingly Democratic, but Is close
as between Tanmany Hall and the County Democracy
Mr. Cox does not live In this district, but in Lloyd
Bryce's district. II Is possible that the Tammany
leaders may decide to pit him against Mr. Bryce
jefferson Levy Is making strong efforts to obta n
the 1ammany nomination in the Nth District, but the
probability Is that General Spinola WI be nominated
This Is the district where Allen ThOrndkc Rice was
defeated two years ago by the treachery OF Michael
CrcPan. the Republican leader m the XVIII Assembly
District. II the County Democracy run candidate
Republican who can secure the labor vote, as ?r Rice
lid. Tho Nth Dlstr ct has been represented Tor INC
last two terms by Colonel Truman A. Norman. lie
IS OF the few Democrats who voted against lnc
MIlls bill. Because OF this action, strong effort =
being made by several Democratic leaders TO defeat
rs denomination. The district contains many manu-
ia tories. If frce-tTadc Democrat IS nominated III
Colonel Merrlmans place, either he a Republican
can carry the district. John Hardy, a strong Free
Trader, is looking for the 1ammany nominal on.
W. Bourke Cochran, the present Representative
FROM the NTH District will not accept renomina-
ton account of business engagements. NO one
has yet been prom ncntIy named 10 succeed hif
when Ashbcl T. Fitch. who was elected as a RepuD-
lcan from the XlIth District, went over TO the Dem
oci ats and voted the Mills bill he expected to ho
the united Democratic nominee this falL lie many
others who have betrayed those who trusted thc he
now seems likely himself cast as de after being
used. Colonel William l. Brown, of The Daily
News Will probably receive the Tamnany nomlna-
ton should the County Democracy name candi-
date the Republicans win hand ~ with good can
didate The Republican vote In the district IS large
one and IS growing RAPIDLY.
