  F. Williams, who was nominated by pe- tition for congress on tho independent Republican ticket, had withdrawn at tho -equest of the Republican state commit 'ee, as it was feared his candidacy would sndang:r tho head of the state ticket.
 Democrats Lack Harmony.
 Tho Democratic managers spent the day in a further endeavor to bring about harmony of action between the opposing Democratic factions in this city and Brooklyn, but in New York. it was said at Democratic headquarters, tho prospect ! of reaching an agreement in this city was not bright.
 Despite the efforts of Senator Hill, Lieu- tenant Governor Sheehan and Senator Faulkner to secure the concessions from Tammany demanded by OK x-Mayor Grace, 1t was said that the Tammany candidates who were asked to withdraw refused to do so.
 Walsh, Cantor and Mcclellan declined, SD it is stated, to step out, but Congress man Cummings authorized the statement that both he and General Sickles would obey orders.
 Mir. Croker Is quoted at headquarters as saying that Tammany had already con |. ceded enough when it allowed Senator Hills name to head the Grace ticket headed by Strong, n RcpuhG can, for may | or. At headquarters it was also said that the indications we-e that the combination | could not be made. although hope was | expressed thht it might be. Senator Faulkner succeeded in bring. | ing together Chairman Bell of the Kings county regular Democracy and Edward NJ. shepard, tho leader of the reform movement. Many conferences took place.

 MT. PIatts Statement.
 Ex-Senator Thomas c. Platt gaye ou | h " ueWElIIeH to the press. II | 1t he devotes considerable space to an ar gument against Senator Hill and his can vass: goes into details over tho Demo cratic situation in the state as seen iron a Republican standpoint; argues agains | Democratic success and in favor of sweeping Republican victory. As to es timating Mir. Morton's probable maiorit! I he said:
 II am not so foolish at this time as t, give any figures. It is enough for me t, say that MT. Morton will have a plurali ty. It may be 4o GOO; 1t may be 14o, GOO It will be n clean. decisive plurality ant a satisfactory one.'
 Tho question has been raised as t whether President Cleveland can rcgiste in this city. A prominent attorney wh was consulted said at the Tammany head quarters that it was his opinion that a MT. Cleveland had no residence hero a the present timo he could not rogiste here.
 It Is believed, however. that as an off cial whose duties kept him out of tho cit for two years he can register in tho pre- cinct in which he registered in 1892.
