CHEERING TO DEMOCRATS

Senator Faulkner this morning received
Mr.. Grace's letter on the subject of har-
monizing the democratic forces by a di-
vision of the congressional districts In the
Tamrlany bailiwick. Mr.. Faulkner declined
to discuss the letter in detail, but said that
IL was very important to the democrats that
some adjustment OF The differences between
the Grace people and Tammany should be
made. There should. he said, be some spirit
of accommodation shown on both sides. He
believed there would be, and that there
would be a satisfactory adjustment by the
middle of next week. He did not think that
the work of making nominations could be
done over again, but that some of the rival
candidates might retire from the field, leay-
Ing only one democratic candidate for Con-
gress in each district. This is far as he
would so in discussion of the matter.
Dunphy the Obstacle.
1t is believed that John Dewitt Warner
will adhere to his declination to run and
that, therefore, Grace will not have a candi-
date in that district. Grace asked for only
three districts. in the first place, and he
was particularly solicitous about Warner.
With Warner out it is believed that the
other two districts only will be insisted on
as the share OF the Grace people in the
proposed division of the districts. 1t is
recognized here, of course, that Tammany
resentment against Dunphy Is the stumbling
block in the way OF any adjustment be-
tween the two factions, and it is not i'm
probable that that will be obstacle suff-
ciently serious TO block the whole business.
No one has been able to get any indication
that either faction will yield as to Dunphy,
and there is no apparent probability of his
being induced to retire, as Warner has.
Faulkner exhausted his arguments and in
huence with both factions when in New
York, and he is unquestlonably confident
that something will come of ii, but his
earnest desire gives birth to this confidence.
Evidently what is expected by the con-
gressional committee is that Tammany will
give the Grace people the two districts
aside from the Warner district. which
they want and that Tammany will
be given an open field in the other districts
except perhaps in two, where II is claimed
that no harm can come from there being
two candidates.
Public officials on the Stump.
Mr.. German to take the stump for Mr..
HiH? And possibly Mr.. Carlisle? The
Stars news of this nature proved cheering
reading in democratic circles yesterday.
But opinion was expressed as to what
the effct on the New York campaign would
be- and this was that the democratic pros
poets must necessarily be greatly i'm
proved. 1t was regarded as a notice that
the leaders of the national democracy rec
o9niZe the Importance Of the Nov York
struggle, and are willing to subordinate
personal rivalries and forget past personal
chickering's TO help achieve victory capable
of being converted into genuine party
triumph. Some democrats are OF the opin-
ion that this may lead TO a change in the
program with regard to those federal ofIi-
cIals of a less degree Of consequence but
with fine ability as stumpers who are soon
