No HARMONY IN new YORK.
Cleveland and Faulkner Leave for
Washington.

The President Gives no Hint as to What
His Intentions Are Concerning In
dorsement of Hill-senator Faulkner
Unable to Straighten Out the Middle
in the Congressional Fight.
New York, Oct. 25.-One obstacle in the
vav of harmony in the matter of the
democratic candidates in the city congress
sionaI districts disappeared to-day when
F J. Dunphy formally notified the board
If police commissioners to remove his
name from the state democracy ticket as
nominee for congress from the Eighth
district. This practically narrows the con-
test in that district to Walsh, Tammany
democrat and Mitchell, rep, though the
social labor, populist and prohibition par
ties each nave candidate in nomination.
Tim Campbelrs motion before Judge
Barrett in the supreme court for an order
70 compel the police commissioners to
Mace his name upon the official ballot as
the republican candidate for congress
from the Ninth district, was dismissed to-
day. The anu-Tammany democratic
county ticket has been refused place
upon the official ballot on the ground
of informalities.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the dem
ocratic congressional campaign commit
fee. returned to Washington to-day. He
admitted. prior to his departure, that
his mission hitherto had been a failure,
so far as the democratic congressional sit
nation in the city districts is concerned.
He had been unable to bring the factions
TO an agreement. Congressman Dun
phys retirement in the eighth was his own
act and will have no bearing upon the
situation in the other districts.
In Brooklyn Senator Faulkner says the
outlook is better. The independent dem
cratic candidate in the fifth district &C
cepts the decision of the reform executive
committee and has filed notice of his
withdrawal. John l.. Nostrand will prob
ably withdraw also. In the other two
Brooklyn districts there will be no con-
cessions on either side, according to pres
ent understanding.
The State Democracy tonight gave out
a statement in regard to the congressional
situation in this city, and the recent I'M
successful attempt to tremendously set
tie the disputes with Tamany Hall. The
statement calls attention to the fact that
when Tammany Halls list of congress
sional nominations appeared it was found
that every congressman who voted for
the Wilson bill had been refused a re-
nomination, while every one who had OPP
posed the bill save one, had been re-
nominated. The State Democracy had no
alternative except to make a nomination
in each district, and this was accordingly
done. Finally Senator Faulkner, chair
man of the congressional campaign COM
mittee, appealed to all the elements of
the Democratic party to unite upon the
congressional tickets.
A conference with the leading man NJ
both parties was accordingly held. Ev-
erything pointed to the success of tho
movement till 1t transpired that Congress-
man Dunphy and Bourke Cochran, who
failed of denomination by Tammany Hall,
could not under any circumstances be
renominated. Finally proposition was
made involving the withdrawal of two
Tammany Hall candidates. It was I'M
derstood that one candidate was willing
TO step aside in the general interest, but
the expression of this willingness was
obtained by Senator Hill on grounds Of
personal friendship, and not by any
leader Of Tammany Hall. This left to
the Tammany Hall leaders the task of
obtaining the single withdrawal to secure
absolute harmony, but they were unable
to perform it, and as a result the nego-
tations for harmony failed
The statement concludes as follows: ut
is due to Senator Faulkner, Senator Hill
and Chairman Hinckley to say that they
were constant and insistent in their eff
forts to affect different result and it is
believed they were supported by some of
the leaders of Tammay Hall, but the pow
erful but undisclosed influence seems to
have laways stood in the way of an agree
