CONGRESSIONAL SPLIT.
NO PROGRESS TOWARDS HARMONIC.
ING DEMOCRA To FACTIONS.
Ex.Mayor Gracs's DEM ands Have Not Been
Granted-Straua Appeals to Soma
tor Hill.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S-No progress has
YET been made towards harmonizng the
! democratic factions in the congressional
districts of this city, which was so mr.
gently recommended by the chairman Of
| the Congressional Campaign Committee
Senator Faulkner. OF West Virginia. in
the address he Issued Tuesday. In eight
OF the nine districts, comprised exclu-
slVely within the city OF New York, there
are opposition Democratic candidates.
Tammany was first In the field with IT'S
nominations and for one reason or an
other turned down" about half the deli
egation as It exists in the Fifty-third
Congress John De Witt Warner was ell
Do"ed out OF the nomination IN the Thir-
teenth by the transfer thither OF Amos
Cummings, of the Eleventh. T.. J. Dun
phy, VINO mad Contumaciously defed Tam
many was retired. The redoubtabie
timothy J. Campbell was deemed to have
had his full share Of honor and dignity
anu the nomination I'm hIs district was
given TO Henry G.. Miner, the theatrical
manager. BOurke Cochran was shelved as
II is alleged, by the express direction of
Mr. Croker, TO make place for George b.
McCleilan, the young president OF the
Board OF Aldermen, and son of the gen
eraI or the same name, and some other
changes i'm the delegation were made.
Dunphy and Campbell have had their
names placed upon the State DemoCraCys
ticket. Every member Of the delegation
with one exception. who voted tor the
Wilson bill, was passed over by Tam
many.
.MB. GRACE's DEMAND.
Ex-Mayor Grace, who represents the
State Democracy, has demanded an equi-
table dirviston Of the nominations be-
tween his organization and Tammany
and specifically the restoration Of Cock
ran and Warner but up to the present
time has obtained no assurance tnat his
claim for the State Democracy VIII 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 Demo
cracy candidaTeS should bOth remain
in the contest. Chairman Faulkner is re
ported 10 have said in Washington, since
his return from New York, that he had |
reason to hope for an arrangement upon |
a satisfactory Basis, but upon what this !
hope is founded he has not indicated. !
The appearance Of Senator Hilps name |
at the head Of both the Tammany and |
the state Democracy tickets may also /
complicate matters. Nathan StrauS, the /
Tammany, or regular nominee for Mayor |
claims that he should have the exclusive /
benefit of whatever prestige there may |
be used on the regular state ticket
Senator Hin has declined to refuse the |
Use of his name 10 the State Demo-
,racy, which is supporting strong,
for Mayor, and Straus and
lis friends are I'm consequence much
lisaffected toward tho Senator.
An evening paper says that Mr.. Strau5
las sent his private secretary to Mr.. Hill
With the utimatum that the Senator !
must discOuntenance the state Demo
racy's ticket by refusing u allow his |
ame TO appear upon il with that of |

1t is said that If Mr. straus withdraws
mother effort will be made to induce eN-
layor Grant to make the run. Straus
eCretary is i'm Rochester. and met Sena-
)r Hill this evening, when ne presented
traus letter to him. Most Of the Tam
lany leaders who will talk about the
latter express the opinion that Senator
ill will not change his mind. but will
