-uE STATE DEMOCRACY.
A Card with Reference to the Attempts
fo secure UarmODy.

NEW YORK, October 2j.-The State
Democracy tonight gave out statement
i'm regard to the congressional situation
in this city and the recent unsuccessful
attempt to harmoniously settle the dis
putes with Tammany Hall The state
ment calls attention to the fact that when
Tammany's list Of congressional nominal
tions appeared ii was found that every
cOugressm who voted for the Wilson
bill had been refused a denomination,
while every one who had opposed the BIZ
(saVc One) had been rerominatci Inc
state Democracy had no alternative eN-
cent to make nominations in each dis
trict. and this was accordingly done.
Finally. Senator Faulkner, chairman OF
the CongressiOnal Campaign Committee,
appealed 10 all elements Of the Demo-
cratic party tO unite upon congressional
tickets. 4 conference with the leading
men of both parties was accordingly held.
Everything pointed 10 the success of the
movement until ii transpired that Con-
gresham Dunphy ana BOurke Cochran,
who failed Of denomination by Tammany
Hall. could not under any circumstances
be renOmnated.
Finally, a proposition was made involV-
ing the withdrawal of two Tammany-
Hall candidates. 1t was understood that
one candidate was willing 10 step aside
I'm the general interest, but this expressed
Willingness was obtained by Senator Hill
on grounds Of personal friendship, and not
bv any leader Of Tammany Hall This
left to Tammauy Hall the task of OBJ
tanning the single withdrawal 10 secure
absolute harmony. but they were unable
To perform il. and. as a result, the nego-
tiations for harmony failed.
The statement concludes as follows: 1T
is due TO Senator Faulkner, Senator Hill,
and Chairman Hinckley TO say that they
were constant and ;nsistent in their ef-
forts to effect different result. and it
is believed that they were supported by
some OF the leaders of Tammany Hall,
but a powerful but undsclosed influence
seems to have always stood in the way
of an agreement"

and Courier says: The trial OF Tillmans
liouor spies for murder was commenced
to-day. The case against McLendon has
occupied the attention OF the court all
