and in serene confidence are watching the
attempts of their Democratic adversaries
TO adjust and harmonic the factional dis
turbances with which they are beset on all
sides and especially in this city. Ex-
President Harrison will arrive here late in
the week to attend to some private bust
ness, and while he is in the city it is Chair
man Hackett's intention to arrange, if
possible, a mammoth meeting at which
the ex-President will speak. aud at which
his former running mate. Mr.. Nor ton, now
the Republican candidate for Governor
will be present.
Senator BILL spoke at Yonkers tonight
He will speak at Brooklyn tomorrow
afternoon and in New YORK and its vicin-
lty until Friday, when he will return to
the Interior of the State. A good deal will
depend on the result of his visit and the
conference with the local leaders. The
situation, so. far as the New York and
Brooklyn candidates for Congress and the
Assembly are concerned. is very critical
with County Democratic candidates op-
posing the Tammany Congressional and
Assembly candidates in this city and
Shepherd candidates running against the
regular nominees in the Brooklyn dis
tricts, save that represent ed by Mr.
Coombs. There are nine Congressional
districts in this city and FIVE in Brooklyn.
The opposition of County Democracy can
didates jeopardiZes the election of from
one to four Tammany candidates in
this city and the Sheperdites endau ger
four in the districts in Brooklyn.
As the margin by which the Democratic
managers hope to carry the next House of
Representatives is very narrow the siua-
ton is regarded as extremely grave at
Democratic headquarters. All efforts
heretofore made toward harmonzing diff
ferenees to prevent the posi- bility of Re-
publicaDs slipping in through Democratic
divisions have thus far proved Intellectual
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic Congressional campaign COM
mittee. will be here again tomorrow to
witness the result of present efforts
Richard Croker and Perry Belmont, Presi-
dent Cleveland's ex-Minster to Spain, were
at Democratic headquarters to-day regard
ing this question. Senator Hill. Mr.
Croker and other leaders are said to be ad-
vising policy of concessions, but Lie1-
tenant-Governor Sheehan said this even
ing that no basis of agreement had yet
been reached
Lieutenant-G Governor Sheehan late this
afternoon gave out an interview in regard
TO the charges of colonization of votes
made by the Republicans In which he
makes counter charges against them.
David Martin of Pennsylvania" be said,
sis a constant visitor at the Republican
State headquarters. Personally, desire
to say nothing against Mr.. Martin, and
would not like to charge him with partici-
patton in this business, but will say tn at
if the same proof is obtained against him
this year that we obtained in 1892, l will
not be the man this time 10 stop The execu-

be too strongly urged to be on guard for
this sort of work"
Politics in the Ninth or Bowery Congress
sional District occupied the attention of
the Police Commissioners to-day, sitting
as a board of review to pass on the regu-
larity OF two conventions. When two
years ago Timothy j. Campbell was given
the Tammany nomination in this district
it was with the understanding that a. the
end of his term he should step gracefully
aside and permit Henry Clark Miner, a
BOwery theater manager with political as
W SuCSctu W tUH DldCt. w 06D
the time came. however, Campbell re-
pented of his agreement and insisted on
just one more term in Congress. The
Tammany managers were inexorable and
Miner was put In nomination. Then
Campbell rallied his Bowery constituency
and had himself nominated by petition
and subsequently by so-called Republi-
can conven ton, which the Republicans of
the district claim was irregular. The pro-
testing Republicans held a convention also
at which John (or Johnnie) Simpson was
nominated for Congress. The question as
to which of these conventions was regular
was submitted to and argued before the
Board of Police Commissioners to-day.
Tammany members of the board sup
ported the claim of Simpson TO be the
simon-pure Republican candidate, while
the Republican mem bers of the bo ard held
to the position that CampbelPs convention
was regular. As the board is equally
divided the question will probably have to
be passed on by The courts.
At Democratic headquarters to-day lit
was announced that Philip Wissig, Tam
many Democratic candidate Tor the As
sembly, had consented to retire from the
ticket. "Silver-dol lar" Smith, the Alder
manic nominee, TO whose candidacy Grant
also took exceptions, says he will not with
draw.
The examination in the case of John
James Howard. Levi p. Morton's employe,
who was ordered sent back to England.
was continued to-day before a special
board of inquiry chosen for the purpose
at Ellis Island. DR.. Senner, Commissioner
of immigration, said that Inspector Prem
tiss G. Dodge of Burlington, VT, who
made the arrest, was the only witness ex-
amined, aud his testimony was practically
the same that he gave before Judge La
combe last week. No other witnesses will
be examined. The case will be sent to
Secretary Carlisle, together with DR.. Sem
neI's recommendation, and the decision
will rest entirely with the Secretary of the
Treasury.
