The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-10-24

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The republican
managers Of the state campaign while
actively at work pushing the canvass in
all parts of the state, are unable to find
any distressing indications in their ranks
and in serene confidence are watching the
attempts OF their democratic adversaries
to adjust and harmonize the factional dis
turbances with which they are beset on
all sides, especially in this city. Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison will arrive here later in the
week TO attend to some private business
and while he is in the city it is Chair
man Hackett's intention TO arrange. if
possible, mammoth meeting at which
the ex-president will speak and at which
his former running mate. Mr.. Morton,
now the republican candidate for gov
ernor. will be present.
Senator Hill spoke at Yonkers tonight.
He viii speak at Brooklyn tomorrow aft
ernoon and in New York and this vicinity
until Friday. when he win return to the
interior of the state. 4 great deal will
depend upon the result Of his visit and
the conferences he has with the state and
local leaders. The situation, so far as the
New York City and Brooklyn democratic
candidates for congress and assembly are
concerned, is very critical. with county
democracy candidates opposing the Tam
many congressional and assembly candi-
dates in this city and Shepard candidates
running against the regular nominees in
the Brooklyn districts save that repre-
sented by Mr. COomDs. There are nine
congressional districts in this city and five
in Brooklyn. The opposition of the
county democracy candidates ieopardizes
the election of from one to four Tam
many candidates in this city and the Shcp-
ardites endanger four in the districts in
Brooklyn.
AS the margin by which the democratic
managers hope TO carry the next house of
representative is very narrow the Situa-
tion IS regarded as extremely grave at
the democratic headquarters All efforts
heretofore made toward harmoniZing diff
1erences to prevent the possibility Of re-
publicans slipping in through democratic
divisions have proved Intellectual. Sena-
tor Faulkner, chairman of the democratic
congressional campaign committee, viii be
here again tomorrow to witness the result
of the present effort.
Richard Croker and Perry Belmont Mr..
Cleveland's eX-minister to Spain, Were at
the democratic headquarters today re-
garding this matter. The rumor was rife
and apparently well founded. that ex-
Mayor Grace who is at the head of the
ing to compromise on the basis of with
drawing the county democracy candidates
in seven Of the New York City districts
if Tammany would withdraw ex-senator
Cantor in the Fifth and John Connolly
in the Fourteenth in order to give Robert
Grier Monroe and Dewitt Warner clear
fields The Tammany candidates for con-
gress and for the assembly were repre-
sented as recalciTant Senatro Hill Mr.
Croker and other leaders were said 10 be
advising a policy of concession, but Lieu
tenant-GOvernOr Sheehan said this even
ing that no basis of agreement had vet
been reached.
Lieutenant-GovernOr Sheehan late this
afternoon gave out an interview in reply
to charges of colonization of votes made bv
the republicans in which he makes COUNT
er charges against them. He says that
the democratic committee has been re-
peatedly warned OF the republican colon
ization schemes, receiving such informa-
ton from railroad officials and other re-
liable sources.
