NO DEAL IN NEW YORK YET.
The Rival Democratic Congressional
Candidates Still Up.

The State Democracy Holding Out for
an Equal Division of the Districts
With Tammany-The Grace Men In
sist on the Return of Both Warner and
Cochran-Strauss in Wrangle With
Hill Because the Latter viii Allow
Grace to Use His Name at the Head of
His Ticket.
New York. Oct. 1S-No progress has
beeen made toward harmonlzlng the dem
ocratic factions on the congressional
tickets of this city. which was so ur-
gently recommended by the chairman of
the congressional campaign committee.
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia, in the
address he issued on Tuesday In eight
of the rine districts comprised exclus-
lively within the city of New York there
are opposition democratic candidates
Tammany was first in the field with its
nominations and, for one reason or an
other, turned down" about half of the
delegation as 1t exists in the Fifty-third
congress.
John Dewitt Warner was elbowed out
of the nomination in the Thirteenth dis
trict by the transfer thlther of Amos ].
Cumming of the Eleventh.
Il. ], Dunphy, who had contumaciously
defied Tammany, was retired.
Even the redoubtable Timothy J.
Campbell was deemed to have had his
full share of honor and dignity and the
nomination in his district was given to
Henry c. Miner, the theatrical manager.

alleged, by the express invitation Of Mr..
Croker, to make place for George r.
Mcclellan, the young president Of the
board Of aldermen and son of the gem
eral Of the same name.
These are some of the changes in the
delegation that were made. Messrs.
Dunphy and Campbell have had their
names placed upon the state democratic
ticket. Every member of the delegation,
with one exception, who voted for the
Wilson bill, was passed over by Tam
many.
Ex-Mayor Grace, who represents the
State Democracy, had demanded an equi-
table division of the nominations between
his organization and Tammany, and spe-
cihcally the restoration of Messrs. Cock
ran and Warner, but up 10 the present time
has obtained no assurance that his claim
for the State Democracy will be allowed.
There is scarcely one of the city districts
which are now represented by democrats
which will be safe for either the Tammany
or the State Democratic candidate should
both remain in the race.
Chairman Faulkner is reported to have
said in Washington, since his return from
New York, that he had reason to hope
for an arrangement upon satisfactory
basis but on what this hope is founded
he has not indicated.
The appearance of Senator Hilrs name
at the head OF both the Tammany and
State Democratic tickets may also compii-
cate matters.
Nathan Straus, the Tammany, or regu-
lar nominee for mayor, claims that he
should have the exclusive benefit of what
ever prestige there may be in using the
regular state ticket Senator Hill has de-
cllned to refuse the use Of his name to
the State Democracy, which is supporting
Strong, a republican, for mayor, and Mr.
Straus and his friends are, in consequence,
much disaffected toward the senator.
An evening paper says Mr.. Straus has
sent his private secretary to Mr.. Hill with
| the ultimatum that the senator must dis
continue the State Democracy's ticket
by refusing to allow his name to appear
upon 1t with that of MIR. Strong, the Citi-
zens and republican nominee for mayor,
or he (straus) would withdraw from the
| regular, or Tammany ticket.
| 1t is said that If Mr.. Straus wlthdraws
another effort will be made to induce ex-
/ Mayor Grant to make the run. Mr. Straus'
/ secretary is I'm Rochester, and will meet
Senator Hill this evening, when he will
present Mr.. Straus' letter to him.
Most of the Tammany leaders who will
/ talk about the matter express the opin-
| ion that Senator Hin will not change his
mind, but allow the state ticket to be
| printed on the local ticket headed by
/ Strong and the Grace democrats.
| Should Mr.. Straus decide TO withdraw
| from the race the executive committee
| Of Tammauy Hall, which is empowered
| to fill any vacancies that may occur on
tho ticket, would select a candidate for
mayor to take his place and If the action
/ was too late for nomination by certificate
! the man selected could be nominated by
! petition.
At the republican state headquarters to-
| day Secretary Hackett said that arrange
! ments had been made for Gov. Mckinley 8
/ tour in this state. The governor will begin
| his New York campaign on oct. %, when
/ he will speak in the afternoon In Dun
/ kirk In the evening he will appear at a
! monster mass meeting In Buffalo. At
! noon on Oct. 26 he viii speak at Utica and
! at Syracuse the same evening He will
! end his work in the state on oct. q, but he
| is booked for no less than seven meetings
| that day besides one In Philadelphia. He
| will leave Syracuse on a special train,
! and the first stop will be at Little Falls,
| where he will address a meeting from the
/ rear Of the train. He will then speak at
| the following places, where stops will be
made:
Fonda, Amsterdam, Schenectady. Hud-
! son and Poughkeepsle. He viii then cross
! the river to Newburg, and there make his
| last speech in the state. From Newburg
| Gov. Mckinley will take a West Shore
1 train for Jersey City, whence q special
| train will take him TO Philadelphia He
will reach Philadelphia about Q o'clock at
night, but in time to make his eighth
and most important address Of the day.
| on Monday he will continue his work in
| Pennsylvania.
Everett p. Wheeler has accepted the
nomination for governor OF New York on
the third ticket. His letter OF acceptance
/ TO Chairman Charles Fairchild was made
/ public to-day.
/ Up TO l0.3O o'clock tonight no word had
! been received from Senator Hill In reply
/ to the letter sent him by Mr. Straus. The
! belief at the Straus headquarters was that
] Mr.. Hil would not grant the request OF
| the candidate for mayor. and IL was
/ known 10 be a fact that MIR. StrGus would
/ not IN the least modify his demand lie
| said so most emphatically at a confer
/ ence held az the Union Square hotel late
