to Be Opposed.
WARNER: CAMPBELL AND DUNPHY
A Young Republican Nominee in
the North.
HARMONY AT ALBANY


Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 3, 1894.
Here in New York city the democrats are
doing some curious juggling with their
congressional nominations. The men have
not been nominated yet. bat they will be in
a day or two. and the Tammany slate has
been made out Three of the democrats
from this city will not return. and these
are F.. J. Dunphy. Timothy ]. Campbell and
John Dewitt Warner. Dunphys turn-down
by Tammany has been expected for months
and was certain from the day that the man
vino looks like Sadi Carnot OF France gave
cut that famous letter from rhe Arlington
Hotel in which he declared that Tammany
was creature of unjust methods and
corrupt count and he would have nothing
to do with it longer. He may run as an
independent candidate. Big col. William l..
Brown of Cleveland-Hill dinner fame
wants the nomination there and will proba-
bly, get 1t. He is good Hill man and Tam
manyite now and has atCnCd for his Cleve
landiSm in the past.
Tim" Campbell does not want to leave
pubic Etc. bat Tarnmany has decided that
his congressional career has laSte1 long
enough, and Campbeli will obey, and the
man who thinks that the Constitution is
nothing between friends will soon be mold
ing some good municipal Office. Congress
man Warner has not been in touch with
Tammany, and his nomination two years
ago was against the protest Of some of
the men who stood high in the organ;za-
tlon- But at just that time Tamraany was
in the business OF making friends, not enc
| mics. and Warmers nomination was sue
eessful olive branch to one Of their cp-
posing elements. Congressman Isidcr
Straus. who went to Europe with Congress
man Wilson, has just written back that he
does not care very much for Il reelection.
If that is the way he feels ne will be ac-
81 nd Con TOW
jacob n. Canter, who has been the leader
of the democrats in the state senate, will
be named in his stead.
Amos Cummings is to be rvturned, but
Eot from his own district. He is to step
out of his ogvn bailiwick and into that OF
Franklin Bartlett. Bartlett will, in turn,
be showed along into Warner S district, and
the society favorite AMI cotillion leader
VIII represent new constituency next
year In the vacant place in Cummings
Cistric there will be nom.irc ted * -Speaker
Wliiiifn SulZe-. Young SC!Zcr is a great
favorite with Tainmany, and they have
been awaiting 4 good opportunity TO send
MIN To Washington. He was the leader Of
the democrats IN the lower branch of the
legislature after William +. Sheehan left
there to be promoted to lieutenant gov
erncr. and was the youngest man who ever
sat In the speakers chair at Albany.
In Tim Campbe!rs district the Tammany
nominee will be Harry G. Miner Of theatre
cal and Bowe-y fame, although there is op-
position to his nomination. Bourne Cock
ran VIII succeed himself without Demo
cratic opposition. If Tammany ever thought
of retiring him that time has all gone BY
1ammany is now enthusiastic over its
great orator and very anxious TO have him
speak for them on the floor of the House
General Daniel +. Siclles is having a
hard fight for denomination. The OPPOSE
ton comes from General Martin r. Nc
Mahon and his friends. McMahon was a
cahdi0ate two years ago, when Sickles de-
feated him. McMahon stands high in Tam
many and it is close fight. But Mayor
Gilroy is inclined to side with Sickles, and
II he carries out his feelings in q practical
way the one-legged warrior will win
Quigg to Run Again.
Lemuel Ely Qugg will run for Congress
again instead of for the mayoralty. When
his anne was first mentioned as possible
candidate for mayor it was considered by
many as joke. But it was no joke, as the
other candidates soon found out. Quigg
had one great argument in his favor. Plat
favored him and SO did the Aiilholiand or
ganizauon, and that is the only point they
do agree on. Under those circumstances il
was thought that he could poll the full re-
publican vote where another republican
would suffer from the fractional differences
In the party in this city. Quigg received a
good boom at the state convention. His
speech as temporary chairman made a
greet hit. and was the best of the conven-
tion II was pert ard II was aggressive
and il attracted attention to him as a young
man who would make hustling cam
paign for mayor. But II was feared that he
could rot command the INDEPENDENT vote
and that the business men of the city would
not feel like putting their great interest in
his hards So Quigg will run for Congress
Col Brown does not want to run against
MIN, after his defeat of last year, so has
changed districts. Quiggs democratic op-
ponent Will be Honest John" Connolly
who was for several years in the state
legislature.
The man whom the republicans will run
against Harry Miner will be Andrew j.
Campbell, man well along In years and in
Weath, and who is an iron manufacturer
Cockrans opponent will be Robert A.
Cheese brough, who manufactures vaseline
ana Ei.s made over a million dollars in do
ing so thus far.
Coz gresham Bartlett will have a strong
republican to run against This is Col
Rlcfard Z. Shannon. He is Il LAWYER and
mas been United States minister to Mica
ragua. While holding this office under
Secretary Blaine he aided in negotiatin,-
several of the reciprocity treaties with the
Central American republics He is a vet
eran OF the late war, and won his title on
Gen. SlocGmS staff.
In the Albany District.
Up in the Albany district CONGRESSMAN
Charley will go back TO Washington Hills
nomination for governor settled that For
a time it looked very squally for Tracey.
The'Hill democrats of Albany were deter
mined to oppose him, which would have
harmony in his own city. So Tracey will
be sent back to Congress, and the Hill fol-
lowers will send their man to the legisla-
ture. The understanding has been made
Over the river. in Troy, the democrats
have renominated Congressman Charles d.
Haines. At first he announced that he did
not care for another term. Then people
said that he could not get a renomina ton
because he voted against the Wilson bill
This stirred Haines up and he made a hard
fight and won the nomination
A Young Candidates.
New York state will have a candidate in
the next Congress for the homer Of being
