Mr.. Harrison went to the Fifth-avenue
hotel, where q vast throng of Republican
politicians were awaiting his arrival.
Soon after reaching the hotel Hon. Levi
P. Morton, the Republican nominee for
governor. called. and the interview, it is
said, developed an agreement on the
part OF Harrison to mako one or more
speeches before his return. There has,
however, been no definite announcement
to this effect.
At Republican headquarters it was
announced that there had been no de-
velopments to disturb the conditions
that have existed for the past several
days.
The Democratic managers spent the
day in further endeavor to bring about
harmony of action between the opposing
Democratic factions in this city and in
Brooklyn, but In New York it was said
at Democratic headquarters this evening

this city was not bright.

Lieutenant Governor Sheehan and SEN

from Tammany demanded by ex-Mayor
Grace, it was said the Tammany oandi-
dates who were asked to withdraw have
refused to do so. Walsh, Canter and
Mcclellan refuse to step out. but Con-
gressman Cummings authorized the
statement that both he and General
Sickels would obey orders.

Tammany had already conceded enough
when it allowed Senator Hills name to
head the Grace ticket. headed by
Strong, Republican. for mayor.
At headquarters it was also said that
the indications this evening were that
combination could not De made, although
| the hope was expressed that il might.
Senator Faulkner succeeded today in
bringing together Chairman Bell of the
Kings county regular Democracy and
Edward M. Shepherd, the leader OF the
reform movement. Many conferences
took place, Mr.. Shepherd making his
demands in writing, but in this case,
also, Lawrence Gardner, the secretary OF
| the League of Democratic clubs, who i
aiding Senator Faulkner, said no def
mite results have been obtained. He said
| that the prospects for harmony wer,
brighter in Brooklyn than in New York.
The conferences were proceeding in the
former city this evening, and there
might be result in FIVE minutes or i've
hours.
In the course OF the afternoon Senator
Faulkner had an interview with Presi-
dent Cleveland, but declined to state its
IA hnxx -
cuseed the congressional situation and
| that Senator Faulkner importuned the
president to give expression to an utter
ance on the subject of the New York
campaign.
David B. Hill formally opened the
Democratic campaign In this city by
making speech in Carnegie Music hall
under the auspices of the Business Mem
Democratic association. Frederick 4.
| Ooudert was the first speaker. Senator
Hill followed in about the speech he
made in Brooklyn last night, and added:
''It is evident the old party does not
propose to die this year, at least not by
suicide. 1t has mission to perform
and it proposes to carry out it's destiny.
l desire to express my gratitude to those
who. hitherto have differed from me,
but who will support the whole Demo-
cratic ticket In this campaign. Inelr
support means entire unsnimity. at leans
in the interior of the state. and is much
appreciated by me. L embrace this OPP
portunity to acknowledge my obliga-
tions to them.
Every Democrat has right to en-.
press his preference for candidates. ]
desire to say whatever opposition has
been manifested toward me, has been
entirely honorable and within party
lines. desire to say further that the
strife OF other years has left no bitter
ness in my heart. [Applaussl.
Party friends have right to know
that l have no resentment to crafty,
no enemies to puniah, no favorities TO
reward. The circumstances under which
this nomination is made are sufficient
guarantee that all Democrats ara
treated Alright and fairly"
