NEW YORK. Oct. 23-This has been
day of conferences among the Democratic
leaders with view to Strengthening out
the tangles resulting from the nomination
of factional Democratic Congressional can
didates in this city and Brooklyn. Sem
ator Hill addressed himself to this task
early this morning and had the energetic
aid of Senator Faulkner. chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee, who
came over from Washing gton last night.
The latter was the active mediator in the
| negotiations. Private conferences we're
held by Faulkner with Mayor Gilroy and
Police Commissioner Martin, representing
Tammany, and ex-Mayor Grace and Fran
els Scott. who ran for Mayor against
Mayor Grant in 1890 on the reform ticket,
| representing the County Democracy All,
it was stated, were agreed on policy of
concession. Terms of compromise, it is
announced, are practically decided upon
by which the knots will be cut and the
Democrats united on single Congressional
candidates in the districts. All the de-
tails have not yet been arranged, but it is
known that Tammany has agreed to with
draw its candidates in two districts and
the County Democracy in the others.
The indications at headquarters point to
the withdrawal by Tammany OF General
Dan Sickles in the Tenth and NJ. j. Walsh in
the Eighth. De Witt Warner, Robert Mon
roe and ex-Congress ssman Dunphy are men
toned as possible Grace candidates. Gen.
eral Sickles was at headquarters this after
noon and it was stated that he was willing
to make any personal sacrifice to aid
Senator Hill's candidacy for Governor.
The opinion was expressed by headQuar-
ters people that Walsh would be more
difficult to deal with. To accomplish the
purpose aimed at. it was proposed to
transfer Amos Cummings from the Thir-
teenth to tile Eighth district. but 1t is
learned that Cummings has protested and
his protest was backed up by a delegation
of trades assembly people this afternoon.
He will be allowed to remain where he is.
The Democratic managers have also
been at work to-day in the Brooklyn con-
gressioDal situation and express them
selves as elated over the prospect of unity.
