Party Harmony Impossible.

NEW YORK. October l2.-Willlam II.
Grace called at Democratic State head
quarters Unexpectedly this morning. lie
remained with Mr. Thacher u few min
utes. He then went to a long-distalce
telephone and conversed with Major
Hinckley. who is now at Poughk9psie.
When he came out he said: II came here
10 see Mr.. Hlnckley. Not finding him. l
talked with him over the telephone The
subject Of our conversation was harmony
IN the matter OF the local congressional
and Assembly nominations. After my
talk with him / regret 10 say that there
now SEEMS To be no hope for harmony.
Major Hinckley has done all he could,
but. for obvious reasons. harmony Is inn
possible. Tammany last night nominated
straight Tammany men for Congress, ana
1 am now convinced that the Assembly
Nominations will follow the same trend.
Further efforts In that direction, h-re-
fore. seem 10 be useless"
The Executive Committee OF the state
Democracy MT at Cooper Union TINS az
ternOOn. They Were there TO take some
action with reference 10 th- nominations
for Congress. the ASS Tnbly, and the
Board Of Aldermen. The meeting lasted
about two hours and was particularly
enthusiastic one. II the applause that
hoated over the transoms was any indi-
cation. When the meeting came 10 an
end. Mr.. Grace. who presided, came out
and made statement. He said: I'VE are
going to stand up and be counted. We
are not afraid of the result Of the count
We have just decided TO put candidates
I'm the field for Aldermen, the Assembly
and Congress. our plan is this: We are
going to let the districts take care oi
matters in their own way. That IS q
say, We are going To let tho various as
tricts make their own selections. We
have instructed them. however. 10 make
combinations wherever it Is possible Il
Go so." 4
GRACE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Mr.. Grace appeared to be enthusiastic
over tho plan. and predicted big results
The Executive Committee will have an
other meeting tomorrow. when the same
matters will be further talked about II
IL more than likely that the nominating
convention of the State Democracy VIII
be held Monday night. IL IL not unlikely
that the Grace Democrats VIII take al
vantage OF the dissaftection in Tammauy
ranks resulting from the turning down
of Congressman Tim Campbell In the
Ninth District. J. Dewitt Warner in the
Thirteenth. and f.. J. Dunphy In the
Eighth. Whether or not this organization
viii nominate all three 10 win over theiT
adherents IS question that cannot BE-
definitely answered just yet.
John Boyd Thacher. when asked what
was being done TO harmonic the warning
Democratic factions in this city said
AS an organization we are doing no
thing to harmonic any faction in New
York city. Individually we may try &c
pour oil on the troubled waters, but
as a state committee. we only have &c
90 with the Democracy Of the state"
