Strauss private secretary. arrived in this city
this afternoon and registered at the Powers
Hotel. This evening. after Senator Hill reached
the hotel from Mount Norris Mr.. Kinkead sent
10 him a letter which he had brought TO the
Senator from Mr.. Straus. II Is understood that
in this letter Mr.. Straus announced that he
would not run for Mayor in case Senator Hill
permitted the use of his name on the Grace
municipal ticket Mr.. Kinkead did not
see Senator Hill at all. He waited in
his room until after Senator Hill had
sent to him his reply to the letter from Mr..
Straus. Then Mr.. Kinkead gave up his room,
hurried to the Central Hudson station. and took
the 9:05 train for New York. All Mr. Kinkead
would say about his mission was that he had
had no talk with Senator Hill. THE Sun cor
respondent saw Senator Hill at & o'clock this
evening In reference to the Straus letter. but the
Senator declined to say word on the subject.
After the Senator's speech this evening lie was
seen again by the correspondent. and he again
asked to be excused from saying anything about
the letter Of Mr.. Straus to him or Of his reply.

EDITORS GAIL ON MORTON.
A Speech from tho Republican Candidate
Money TO Burn st Headquarters.


The Hon. Levi p. Morton. the Republican can
didate for Governor, came down from Rhneclif
yesterday for his usual weekly visit to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Since Mr.. Morton's nomination
at Saratoga he has made IL the custom to be at
the hotel close TO Republican State headquarters
two or three days each week. He wants to keep
track of things himself.
On these visits he has the opportunity to con-
fer personally with Mr.. Platt, BENJAMIN b.
Odell, Jr., and Charles w. Hackett and other
subordinate campaigners. Some Of Mr.. Nor
toms other visitors yesterday were Warner
Miller. J. Sloat Fassett, Louis +. Payn, and
Senator SaxtoD.
In the afternoon Mr.. Morton met about forty
Republican editors. Mr.. Morton was in his flne
parlOr on the Broadway and Twenty fourth
street corner Of the hotel, up one flight. Ander-
son Lawrence was master of ceremonies. He
ushered In the editors. Mr.. Morton stood by
thecentre table. He wore q frock coat, patent
leather shoes, red neckte. and his own pecul-
lar smile. There was season of handsh haking
and then very embarrassing silence. Finally
Mr.. Morton said:
"well, gentlemen. ! am very glad TO meet you
You came here to congratulate me. must COM
pliment you on your fine appearance. am sorry
haven't seats for you ALL"
Then there was more silence. and Mr. Lawrence
opened the door and the editors filed out.
In no Republican campaign in the State
during the last twenty years has there been
such an evidence OF wealth at Republican
State headquarters. In the Divine Providence
campaign of Mr.. Plat last year the committee
had only S2l 900 at its disposal The work was
done in two rooms and done by volunteers. This
year most OF the fine parlors on the ground floor
ON the Twenty-third street side are occupied by
the Republican campaigners, and there isn't an
auxiliary for political work which is not at their
command There IL money galore. The mes
senRers and servants tumble over each other at
the beck and nod OF the campaigners.
The Republicans have discovered an interest
in the campaign on the part of the Democrats
in Washington. Certain circulars have fallen
into the hands OF those in charge at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. One circular Is signed by j. X.
Turner. President OF the Interstate Democratic
Association, with headquarters at 63l Louisiana
avenue, and by Z. +. Miller, Secretary, saying:
All good Democrats are informed that voluntary
contributions In aid OF the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee will be received these head,
quarters every night until Nov 3, All Democrats re
siding In this city, whether In once out are
next House OF Representatives.
The Republican campaigners thought they
had discovered a great thing. The Democrats.
on the contrary, were delighted over the news
that the Washington folks even interested
In the complexion OF the next House OF Repre-
sentatives. This will be cheering news for those
In charge of Democratic headquarters in the
