NO HARMONY IN new YORK
EE-MayOr Grace on The War Path for
Tammany SCalpS.

He Reports That There Seems to Be no
Hope for Harmony in the Local, Con-
Rressional and Assembly Nomina-
tions The Executive Committee of
Candidates in the Field for All the
Offices.
New York, Oct. 12.-William r. Grace
called at the democratic state headquar-
ters this morning. He remained with Mr..
Thatcher few minutes He then went to
long-distance telephone and conversed
with Maj. Hinckley, who is now at Pough-
keepsie. When he came out he said "T
came here to see Mr.. Hinckley. Not find
ing him, talked with him over the tele-
phone. The subject of our conversation
was harmony in the local, congressional
and assembly nominations. After my talk
with him regret to say that there now
seems to be no hope for harmony. Maj.
Hinckley has done all he could. but, for
obvious reasons, harmony is impossible.
Tammany has not nominated straight
Tammany men for congress, and l am
convinced that the assembly nominations
will follow the same trend. Further efforts
in that direction therefore seem to be
useless"
The executive committee of the state
democracy met at Cooper Union this after
noon. They were there to take some ac-
tion with reference to the nominations for
congress, the assembly and board of al
dermen. The meeting lasted about two
hours, and was particularly enthusiastic
one, If the applause that hoated over the
transom was any indication. When the
Antf inn
sided, came out and made a statement.
He said: I'VE are going to stand up and
be counted. We are not afraid OF the re-
suit. We have just decided to put candi-
dates in the field for aldermen, assembly
men and congressman. Our plan is this
We are going to let the districts take care
of matters in their own way That is to
say, we are going to let the various dis
tricts make their own selections. We
have instructed them, however, to make
combinations wherever it is possible to
do So"
Mr. Grace appeared to be enthusiastic
over the plan and predicted big results.
The executive committee will have an
other meeting tomorrow, when the
matters that were discussed to-day will
be further talked about. It is more than
likely that the nominating convention of
the state democracy will be held Monday
night. 1t is not unlikely that the Grace
democrats will take advantage of the
disaffection in Tammany's ranks result
ing from the turning down" of Congress
man Tim Campbell in the Ninth district
! j. Dewitt Warner in the Thirteenth and
! r. j. Dunphy in the Eighth. Whether or
not this organization will nominate all
three to win over their adherents is a
! question that cannot be definitely an
swered just yet.
John Boyd Thatcher, when asked what
was being done to harmonize the war
ring factions in this city, said: "As an
organization we are doing nothing to
harm onize any faction in New York
city. Individually we may try to pour oil
on the troubled waters, but as a state
committee we only have to deal with the
democracy of the state"
The candidates on the Tammany Hall
city and county tickets were officially
notified of their nominations this after
noon.
The entire ticket placed in nomination
by the committee of seventy was unani-
mously indorsed at the republican county
convention tonight. The convention was
attended by fully 1900 persons. Through
out the twenty minutes it was in ses-
sion harmony prevailed, and it was evil
dent that all minds were made up that the
convention would ratfy the ticket of the
| committee of seventy, and it did so.
