Stevenson Makes Plea for Hill at
Brooklyn.
| Special to the RECoRD-UNIoS.
New YORK, Oct. 25.-The campaign
orators of both parties are now under
full swing, and the general political situ-
alton all over the State is indicative OF
the fierce fight that will be fought on
election day. The most prominent men
Republicans and Democrats alike
have been drafted into service, and the
headquarters of both forces were never
so alive with bustling politicians as the
past two days.
The declination of Congressman Dun
ply Of the nomination of the New York
Democracy for the Eighth District wa
! received to-day, leaving J. J. Walsh, the
Tammany nominee, a clear field. The
Eighth District was one of those which
few days ago was thought might possibly
be sacrificed by Tammany in the interest
OF harmony.
Following this official announcement
comes the resignation of number of
members of the New York State Democ-
/
Assembly District, the deserters from
Grace's organization at the same time an
nouncing their intention OF supporting
the entire Democratic ticket.
At both headquarters there was the
usual roundup of official statements,
with none that might materially affect
| the situation either one way or the other.
Senator Faulkner, Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
| returned to Washington to-day. He ad-
| mitted prior to his departure that his
mission hither had been a failure, so far
as the Democratic Congressional situa-
| ton In the city districts was concerned.
| He has been unable to bring the factions
to an agreement. Congressman Dunphy's
retirement from the Eighth was his own
act, and will have no bearing on the situ-
alton in other districts.

| Senator Hill said in part: "The con-
| vict system of labor leases should be
! abolished because it is injurious to the
discipline OF the prison and disastrous TO
the State, and injuriously affects the
! mechanics. 1t is upon the latter ground
that L recently asked for the passage of a
bill to abolish the SYSTEM. Let us cast
aside this system and relieve the tax
