A Long Fight Ends in the New York
.'Tribunev Becoming n Union Office.


Tribune" Becoming Union ONCE.
N. Y. Evening Telegram, June 9th.
There was much rejoicing to-day among
the members Of Typographical Union No.
6 over the report that the New York
Tribune had at last given up the long fight
with "Big Six," and that hereafter only
union compositors would be allowed to set
tyne for that paper.
This settlement of the contest, which
was at one time a very bitter one, has been
made upon an amicable basis, and follow
ing so quickly on the return of Hon.
Whitclaw Reid from his several years
sojourn abroad, the 5000 members of big
SIX are inclined to give the x-minister to
France the credit of bringing it about
1t was Mr.. Reid who dismissed Foreman
Thompson of the Tribune composing room
two years ago, and thereby gained the
good will of union compositors, as Thomp-
son had been particularly obnoxious TO
them, and had been largely the. melting
cause of the bitter war waged by the union
men against the Tribune in 1884.
Secretary Ferguson of Typographical
Union, No. @, when | saw Kim to-day at
the headquarters of the union. was some
what reticent in explaining the causes
which led to the settlement.
Negotiations toward that end have
been in progress for more than year."
said Mr.. Ferguson, land though salts
factory arrangement has practically been
reached, the final settlement will not be
made until President John A. Kinney of
the union returns from the west, where he
now is, which will be about the middle of
this mouth. There are several union men
already at work in the Tribune composing
room, but Of course all who work there,
including those who run the typesetting
machines, will be union men when the
final settlement is made between the man
ayers of the paper and the representatives
of the union.n
Secretary Ferguson would not deny that
politics has something to do with the
wind-up of the long fight just az this in
teresting period in II Presidential carApaign
year. He said that the Tribune being
representative Republican paper, it was
evidently not good politics for it to have
the ill will of SO large body of voters as
the compositors of the United States
percentage of whom might show their re-
sentiment by opposing the q. o. p. as they
did in 1884.
II would rather say, however" con-
tinued Secretary Ferguson, that the
managers of the Tribune have reached the
conclusion that our union is strictly
business concern, conservative in its
methods and looking only for Just treat
ment of its members. BY employing
union men the paper will be able to choose
its compositors from among the best in
the country, with no increased expense. as
the Tribune is now paying wages fully
equal to the union scale. The circulation
of the paper will also be benefited by the
change, which will restore 1t to favor
among union men of all trades, who have
hitherto been opposed to it, owing to the
fight with the Typographical Union.n

pollcd IN Wilmington, and 2,TSi in the
rural hundreds. At the nomination elec
ton two years ago the vote for sheriff was:
City 1858; rural hundreds, 2,I09; total,
6,Tei. At the State election, in November,
1850, the Democrats polled 5,3O7 votes in
Wilmington and 377l in the rural hun
last falls figures, therefore, the city Demo
Gratis polled much larger proportion of
their qualified vote than did the Demo-
Gratis of the rural hundreds.
The election was conducted with unusual
fairness and regard for the provisions of

We're heard, except from two or three city
districts, and these were not serious.

MURPHY SAYS1PS NOT TRUE
He Denies That He Has Hills
Letter of Withdrawal.
HILLS FRIENDS STILL AT WORK
They Do Not Consider the
Idea of His Withdrawal.
Edward Murphy, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee of New York.
Denies the Report That He Has a
Letter From Hill Withdrawing From
the Presidential Contest.

New York, June 9.-Ihe New York
state Hill delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton on Monday night, at the Hoffman
House, il will be remembered. voted to
stand by Mr.. Hill until a nomination was
made or he withdrew his name. A curious
explanation of the last clause was given
out in political circles tonight.
1t is stated that Mr. Croker, for Tam
many, and Hugh Mclaughlin for Kings
county, refused to give Mr.. Hill even the
small help of the Hoffman House meet
ing until he first wrote u letter withdraw
ing his name AS Il candidate and gave this
letter into their custody 10 be used when
they deemed it expedient. This ultimatum
was delivered to the senator in Washington
last Sunday, IL is stated. by Lieutenant
governor Sheehan. Mr.. Sheehan brought
back the letter with him, and it is now
said to be in the custody of the leaders
here. The story is told on the authority
of politician close to the leaders.
The Brooklyn Eagle tonight quotes u
prominent Kings county politician as say
ing "You need not be surprised to find
Senator Hill bowIng to the almost univer-
sal wish of the party and getting up at the
Chicago convention to move the nomina-
ton OF Grover Cleveland"
MURPHY HAS THE LETTER.
New York Times Special.
Troy, June 9.-There is in existence a
letter signed by Senator David Ii. Hill, au-
thorizing the Withdrawal of his name from
all further consideration by the Democ-
racy, state and NATIONAL whenever, in the
opinion and discretion Of Richard Croker,
Hugh Mclaughlin and Edward Murphy,
Jr., and w. L. Sheehan, such step should
| be taken.
That letter is in this city at this mo-
ment. 1t is in the safe of Edward Murphy,
Jr,, chairman of the Democratic state com
mttee.
There will be hasty and perhaps angry
denials OF the above statements, but they
are based upon information which the
| Times has taken pains to verify, and which
is believed to be absolutely reliable.
