New York, Oct. 25.-The campaign
orators OF both parties are now under
full swing and the general situation all
over the state 10 indicative of the fierce
fight that will be fought on election day.
The most prominent men-Republican
and Democrats alike-have been drafted
into service, and the headquarters of both
forces were never so alive with bustling
politicians as in the past two days.
The declination of Congressman Dun
ply OF the nomination of the New York
Democracy for the Eighth district was
received today, leaving j. ]. Walsh, the
Tammany nominee, clear field. The
Eighth district was ono of those which
few days ago was thought might pos-
sibly be sacrificed by Tammany in the
interests of harmony.
Following this official announcement
comes the resignation OF a number of
members OF the state Democracy organ
ization in the Twenty-fourth assembly
district, the deserters from Grace's or-'I
ganization at the same time announcing
their intention OF supporting the entire
Democratic ticket.
at both headquarters there was the
usual round up of official statements,
with none that might materially Gffect
the situation either one way or the
other.
Senator Faulkner, chairman OF the
Democratic congressional committee,
returned to Washington today. He ad-
mitted prior to his departure that his
mission had hitherto been failure 80 far
ha Ia nj kua
tion in the city districts was concerned.
He has been unable to bring the factions
to an agreement. Congressman Dun
phys retirement from the Eighth was
his own act and will have 40 bearing on
the situation in other districts.
CampbelPa motion before Judge Bar
ret for an order to compel the police
commissioners to place his name upon
the official ballot as a Republican can.
didate for congress from the Ninth dis
trict was dismissed today. The anti
Tammany Democratic county ticket has
been refused place on the official bal
lot on account OF informalites.
A Republican MAS meeting has been
arranged for next Wednesday night, at
which ex.President Harrison will speak.
A vast crowd assembled at Cooper
Union tonight to hear Senator Hill
speak. The gathering assem- bed under
the auspices of the com bined labor or
ganizatione of the city. Hill's guber-
material administration was made the
sdbjeet of the laboring mems de mon
stration, and resolutions were adopted
endorsing his political career in New
York state and pledRing to him the sup
port Of the gathering at the coming
election.
Senator Hill said in part: "The con.
vict system of labor leases should be
abolished. because it is injurious to the
discipline OF the prison. disastrous to the
state, and iDjuriously affects the me-
chanics. 1t Is upon the latter ground
that recently asked for the passage of
bill TO abolish the system. Let US cast
aside this system and relieve the tax
burdened people, and do Justice to the
mechani Of our state. You will live to
see q law enacted which shall relieve
honest labor. The measure known as
the 5cent law was a triumph for the
workingmen of this state"
Although Vice-President Stevenson
at O'Clock tonight decided that he was
too tired to speak at Cooper Union with
Senator Hill, half an hour later be de.
cidcd he would speak at Brooklyn.
About 1000 people greeted the vice.
president. He first thanked those
present for the hearty welcome he re-
ceivsd, and said he brought good tidings
to Brooklyn. Everything throughout
the country was assuming q brighter
prospect, and business was on the
increase. He then went into the
tariff question. Statements had been
made regarding the question of tariff
causing the hard times. Therefore re-
form was demanded by the people. 1t
was given them, and it would result in
prosperity. In one breath he Republi-
can party accused the Democrats OF
doing too much; in the next OF not
doing enough. He then told his hearers
what the new tariff would do for the
people. In conclusion he said the party
never recognized any religious clsss or
eect, which had been made an issue py
the Republicans in the present cam
paign, and asked all Democrats to sup
port d. B. Hill.
Ollie Teal's open air entertainment on
the Bowery tonight collapsed. Mr..
Teal expected to storm the Bowery from
Chatham square to Third avenue with
Repub blican 'spell binders" He had
arranged for 100 speakers to address the
voters OF the East side from IS trucks,
but the rain stopped the programme.
Although the outdoor meetings were
failures. the principal meeting in the
Windsor theater was very successful.
Chauncey M. Dspew said he had made
q great number OF speeches, and almost
everywhere, but never before on the
Bowery. He said OF Mr.. Hill that be
was one OF the best men 10 the Demo-
cratic party, and always displayed the
most ability when on tho wrong side.
Mr.. Depew discussed the attainments
OF RepubIicanism. He eaid he was
himself workiagman, and dslved
into public topics on the same lines
he has been before pursuing in public
epseches. No man who strives to con-
meet politics with religion is entitled to
the respect of American citizens. 1t 10
for the best interests of the country to
leave religion outside of politics, where
it belongs.
In conclusion he aaid: "Boys, this
