Senator Hill's imperous method Of dealing with
the warning elements of his party in this city
turned into a hasco by the refusal OF the Tam
many chiefs at a late hour last night t. pull out
| single candidate for Congress to pacate the
! anti-Tammany Democracy. Mr. Hill had come to
! New-York Monday night from his speaking
| campaign through the State filled with the
| assumption that beck or a nod all that was
needed from him 10 drive the Tammany tiger
back into his cage and make him relinquish

on the dissatisfied anti-Tammanyites Mr. Hill

master of the situation as he imagined. He found

THE FUTILE NIGHT SESSION.
The night session had continued until about
1890 o'clock when cx-Mayor Grace and Francis
NJ Scott the State Democracy ambassadors. ar
rived at the headquarters. and were shown
TO a room on the floor over Senator Faulkncrs
harmonizcrs senator Faulkner visited them:
and the Grace proposals for the withdrawn "t
Congress candidates In three or four districts
and for "A rcadjustmcnt In some Of the Assembly
districts wcr. laid before III" Faulkner crowd.
1t was evident from rumors which escaped from
the conference room that 'iraccS doinahds'
though backed by IIl would never be ac-
cedcd TO.
About 100 p. m. Richard Croker left the
headquarters. He hurried out. refusing to give
any information Of the progress OF analfs up
stairs After Senator Hill returned from his
Brooklyn Academy Of Music meeting the re-
ports Of the positive refusal Of Tammany Hall
10 withdraw any Of Its candidates were con
frmed. one reason gwen by tEc Ial"'iaD T
mana gers was that the transfer OF CON
grcssmen to Mr.. Grace would bc regarded as a
sign Of weakness. which would react upon the
local ticket At Senator Iiils urgent request
the conferences Will be resumed again this
morning but negotiations were practically
closed last night Croker asserted that Grace
already had as much "a should be conceded
TO him by Mr.. Hin, in being permitted I" place
his municipal ticket on the Official Democratic
ballot.
The Shepard Democrats in Brooklyn made an
other effort Yesterday t. sec urc union on Con-
gress candidates with the regulars" but their
overturcs met with no favor No reply was sent
by lanes u. Bell. chairman Of the regular County
Committee.
