in Brooklyn, on Monday evening.
Mr. Haritty chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee, was anxious to obtain an audience Win
Mr.. Hill yesterday, but II could not be learned WIN
dennlteness last night whether he had succeeded
Mr.. Hill declined to be seen, and Mr. Harriy posi-
lively refused to say whether or not he had been
admitted to the presence OF the mighty David.
Chairman Harrity may have been ashamed OF his
humiliating chase after the Junior Senator OF New
York, but It need not have worried him so much II
he had remembered that Mr.. Cleveland did the same
thing last week, coming all the way from Buzzafd
Bay for the purpose. II Mr. Hill gave the chairman
the solicited pleasure OF standing uncovered In the
Senator's presence and of importunng him to rescue
the ticket OF Cleveland and stevenson from defeat IL
WAS more than was permitted to the head OF the
ticket.
The announcement that Mr.. Hill agreed TO speak
nj Democratic meeting In Brooklyn has been seized
upon by the "Snappers" an additional reason why
the "anti7Snappersr should not proceed to lay uen-
selves on the shelf for tho rest OF the season, ana
leave the entire running Of tho campaign TO the
"Snappers.n The Democratic State Provisional Com
mittee. created by the syracuse Convention ana OF
which ex-M Mayor william Il. Grace Is the recognized
leader Will assemble in this city next Monday at
the old antIIill headquarters No. So Wiiam-st.
The snappers" insist that Mr.. Grace and his cohorts
shall dsband and leave everything 10 the Dapds OF
Mr. Ilps chosen particular friends. should this be
refused, unpleasant threats are made below the
Snapper breath.
Mr. Grace. who is known TO be uncompromislngly
opposed to dsbandng the committee, has returned TO
tho city his vacation and bis friends say
that he will make the Snapper element, which con-
trolls the Democratic State Committee, extremely I'M
easy before many days. Mr.. Grace had consultation
Yesterday with Franklin d. Locke OF Buffalo one Of
the most prominent anti Hi Democrats OF western
New York who has been bitterly against permitting
the "Snappers" to have any control In the National
campaign. II is known that some members Of the
TO sleehan aud Murphy fearing that 10 continue the
committees existence might give the "Snappers' an
eyci,>e for dong something which might tell unfavora
by upon the National canvass. But IL Is believed
that Messrs Grace and Locke fully prepared for
any tactics. Mr. Grace has also his own notions
about the way the campaign, especially In this city,
ought 10 be conducted. and he does not propose 10
give way the views Of men who live IN the Interior
and who know nothing about New York City politics
except what they acquire through their occasional
Visits 10 the Hoffman iIou'c.
