TAMMANY WOULD LISTEN TO no HAIR
MONY OVERTURES

THERE WILL BE TWO DEMOCRATIC cANpI-
DATES FOR CONGRESS AND THE ASSEMBLY
IN EVERY DISTRICT.
| The managers of David b HIS campaign at
Democratic State headquarters in the Park Avenue
| Hotel were thrown into fresh panic yesterday
| by the unexpected appearance OF William Il. Grace.
The Mayor hustled in where "Charlcy" Defreest
and his corps OF campaign assistants were at work
and said that he wanted TO see Major James
| Huxley. chairman of the state Committee Mr..
| Hinkley was al his home in Poughkeepsie and
John Boyd Thacher chairman OF the Executive
Committee was brought to Mr.. Grace as Mr..
iinkley's representative.
But there was blood In the eN-MaNors eye ana
he had desire parey with underlings. Tho
Tammany bosses had utterly ignored the offer
of the New-York State Democracy to arrange for
union Democratic nominations In the Congress
and Assembly districts. They had put up straight
Tammany candidates for Congress In the
nine New-York districts the night before,
and Mr. Grace knew that they intended to
do the same thing az to the Assemblymen
and Aldermen last night He wanted to see
Hinkey. the authorized spokesman OF Senator HILL
to serve notice him that Tammany Hal had
made war the knife. the only alternative FOR
the State Democracy in every Congress and As
sembly district.
Although Mr.. Grace could not Chairman
Hinkey face to face he found that he could
meet him over the long distance telephone. MT.
Huxley protested from Poughkeepsie that neither
he Mr.. Hin responsible for the action OF
the Tammany leaders when they scorned the over
lures OF Mr. Grace for fusion nominations in the
NewYork Congress and Assembly districts. Mr..
Grace suggested that the Senator and the state
Committee might vet by the use of heroic meas
ures bring Tammany terms but Mr.. Hinkley's
voice became weak and inaudble when he tried to
reply and the interview was closed.
Mr. Grace expressed himself freely on the stua-
ton afterward. There was no need to talk in
riddles any longer. II talked with Major Hnkley
over the telephone about the local Congress and
Assembly nomina TONS he said. But 1t is evil
dent that he can do nothing than he has
already. The die Is cast. and there is nothing left
for us TO do but to roll up our sleeves and fight
The failure OF our efforts at harmony must be
laid at the doors OF Tammany Hall. The Democracy

can Protective AfSociation or the American Iro; ;
can make blunt. square-toed speech when II 's
necessary. IL he goes upon the stump his speeches
Will have a telling effect.
AS to the political outlook in the state, Mr. Grace
said that he thought that Everett p. Wheeler. the
third ticket independent Democratic candidate for
Governor against IIill would not be able TO poll
10000 votes. and that Mr.. Hill would be elected
But anybody who knows Mr.. Gracc's real views
knows that he expects 70 see the Democratic state
ticket showed under 10y 5000 plurality Al least Mr.
Grace has way OF letting his left eyeiid drop when
he makes assertion that he does not care to have
his hearers accept literally When he said yes
terday that he thought Hi would be elected. IL Is
said that his sinister eyeiid performed the drop az;
Enthusiastically.
Chairman Thacher has several visitors from up the
State yesterday who brought him reports about
the registration in Onondaea. Greene. Rockland.
Oneida and other counties They said that the reg
istration exceedingly heavy, which brought no
consolation to Mr. Thacher. for he knew that this
could mean only an increased Republican vote.

and the State ticket, and that the object OF his
