The record-union., 1894-10-26
Brooklyn.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

orators of both parties are now under
full swing, and the general political stu
alton all over the State is indicative Of
the fierce fight that will be fought on
election day. The most prominent men
Republicans and Democrats alike
have been drafted into service, and the
headquarters of both forces were never
so alive with bustling politicians as the
past two days.
The declination of Congressman Dun
ply of the nomination of the New York
Democracy for the Eighth District wa
received to-day, leaving j. j. Walsh, the
Tamnany nominee, a clear field. The
Eighth District was one of those which
few days ago was thought might possibly
be sacrificed by Tammany in the interest
of harmony.
Following this official announcement
comes the resignation of number of
members OF the New York State Democ-
racy organization in the Twentyfourth
Assembly District, the deSerters from
| Grace's organization at the same time an
| nouncing their intention OF supporting
the entire Democratic ticket.
At both headquarters there was the
usual roundup of official statements,
| with none that might materially affect
| the situation either one way or the other.
| Senator Faulkner, Chairman of the
| Democratic Congressional Committee
| returned TO Washington to-day. He ad-
mitted prior to his departure that his
mission hither had been a failure, so far
as the Democratic Congressional situa-
! ton in the city districts was concerned
! He has been unable to bring the factions
to an agreement. Congressman Dunphy's
/ retirement from the Eighth was his own
act, and will have no bearing on the situ-
| alton in other districts.

vict system of labor leases should be
abolished because it is injurious to the
| discipline OF the prison and disastrous to

ness was on the increase. He then went
into the tariff question. Statements had
! been made alleging that the question of
| the tariff had caused the hard times.

| found rather extensive programme pre-
! pared for him on his arrival here. Three

large an audience was assembled as the
hall would contain. Mckinley is an
adept at epigrams. He presented new
one to-day. He opened his address by
saying: I'VE are engaged this year in a
movement to keep our business at home.
| We have discovered that if we do not
! keep our business it will not keep us'
| The cleverness of the expression struck
| the audience forcibly and it responded
with burst of applause. All three of
the assembled crowds were attentive, ap-
preclative and demonstrative.
I In the morning the Governor starts
out to make nine scheduled speeches for
| Rocnestef, Auburn, INCA and Syracuse.

rangements having been made by the
