managers of the state campaign. while
actively at work pushing their 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 harmonixs the factional dis
turhsnces with which they are beset on all
sides, and especially in this city.
Ex-President Harrison will arrive here
later in the week TO attend 20 some private
business, and while he is in the city 1t is
Chairman Hackett's intention to arrange,
II possible, mammoth meeting at which
the ex-president will speak, and at which
his former running mate, Mr.. Morton.
now the Republican candidate for soyer-
nor. will be present. Senator Hill spoke
at Yonkers tonight He will speak at
Brooklyn tomorrow afternoon, and in
New York and its vicinity until Friday.
when he viii return 10 the interior of the
stale. A good deal will depend on the re-
suit of his visit, and the conference with
the local leaders.
The situation, so far as the New York
and Brooklyn candidates for congress and
assembly are concerned, is very critical,
with county Democratic candidates OPP
posing the Tammany congressional and
assembly candidates in this city, and
Shepard candidates running against the
regular nominees in the Brooklyn dis
tricts. save that represented by Mr..
Coombs. There are nine congressional
districts in this city and five in Brooklyn
The opposition of County Democracy can
didates jeopards the election of from one
to four Tammany candidates in this city,
aud the Sheparditss endanger four districts
in Brooklyn. As the margin by which the
Democratic managers hope to carry the
next house OF representatives is very
narrow. the situation is regarded as
extremely grave at Democratic headquar-
ters. All efforts heretofore made toward
harmonizng differences. TO prevent the
possibility of Republicans slipping in
through Democratic divisions, have thus
far proved intellectual. Senator Faulkner.
chairman OF the Democratic congressional
campaign COMMITTEES, will be here tomor-
row To witness the result of the present
efforts. Richard Croker and Perry Bel
mont. President Cleyeland's ex-minister
to Spain. were at Democratic headquar-
ters today regarding this question. Sena-
tor Ill., Mr.. Croker and other leaders are
said to De advising policy of concession.
but Lieut.. Gov. Sheehsn said this evening
that no basis of agreement had yet been
reached.
Lieut. Gov. Sheehan late this afternoon
gave out an interview In regard to the
charges of colonization of voters made by
the Republicans, in which he makes
counter-charges against them. David
Martin, of Pennsylvania" he said, "is
constant visitor at the Republican state
headquarters. Personally desire to say
nothing against Mr.. Martin, and would
not like to charge him with participating
in this business, but will say that if the
same proof is obtained against him this
year tha, We obtained in 1892 | will not pe
the man this time TO stop the execution of
a warrant. Democrats cannot be too
strongly urged to be on their guard for
this sort of work"
Politics in the Ninth. or Bowery, con-
gressional district occupied the attention
of the police commissioners today, sitting
as a board of review 10 pass on the regu-
iarity of the two conventions. When. two
years ago. Timothy ]. Campbell was given
the Tammany nomination In this district,
il was with the understanding that at the
end of mis- term he would step gracefully
aside and permit Henry c. Minor.
Bowery theater manager with political
aspirations, to succeed to the place. When
the time came, however, Campbell re-
pented of his agreement and insisted on
lust one term more in congress. The
Tammany managers. however, were mex
orable, and Miner was put in nomination.
Then Campbell rallied his Bowery con-
stituency and had himself nominated by
petition. and subsequently by so-called
Republican convention. which the Repub-
licans of the district say Was irregular.
The protesting Republicans held a con-
vention also, at which john Simp-
SON was nominated Tor congress. The
question as 10 which Of these con-
yentlons was regular was submitted
20 and argued before the board OF police
commissioners today. The Tammany
members of the board supported the claim
o. simpson TO be the Simon pure Rspub-
Hcan candidate. while the Republican
members of the board held TO the position
that Campbelfs convention was regular.
As the board Is equally divided. the qnes-
ton will probably have 10 be passed on
by the courts.
At Democratic headquarters today i.
was announced that Philip WissiF, Tam
many candidate for the assembly. had
consented TO retire from the ticket.
