all over the State is indicative Of the fierce
fight that will be fought out on election
day. The most pre- minent men-Republican
and Democratic alike-have been drafted
into service, and the headquarters of both
forces were never so alive with bustling
politicians as the past two days. The
declination of Congressman Dunphy of the
nomination of the New York Democracy
for the Eighth district was received to-
day, leaving J. ]. Walsh, the Tammany
was one of those which a few days ago
was thought might possibly be sacrificed
by Tammany in the interests Of harmony.
Following this official announcement came
the resignation Of number
of members Of the New York
State Democracy organization in the
Twer.y-fourth Assembly district, the de-
serters from Grace's organization at the
same time announcing their intention of
supporting the entire Democratic ticket. At
both headquarters there was the usual
rounding up of official statements, with
none that might materially affect the situ-
alton either one way or the other.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the DEM
ocratic congressional campaign committee,
returned to Washington to-day. He ad-
mitted, prior to his departure, that his mis-
sion here had been a failure, so far as the
Democratic congressional situation in the
city districts is concerned. He has been
unable to bring the factions to agree
ment. Congressman Dunphy's retirement
in the Eighth was his own act and will
other districts. In Brooklyn Senator Faulk-
ner says the outlook is better. The inde-
pendent Democratic candidate in the Fifth
district accepted the decision OF & the reform
OF his withdrawal. John L. Nostrand will
probably withdraw also. In the other two
Brooklyn districts there will be no conces-
cionS on either side, according to present
understanding.
A vast crowd assembled at Cooper Union
tonight to hear Senator David B. Hill
speak. The gathering assembled under the
auspices of the combined labor organiza-
tions Of the city. Hills gubernatorial ad-
ministration was made the subject of a
laboring mems demonstration and resolu-
tions were adopted indorsing his political
career iii New York State and pledging to
him the support of the gathering at the
coming election. John Phillips presided.
John T. Burke read series of resolutions
setting forth that David B. Hill, assembly
man, Mayor Lieutenant Governor and Gov
ernor, has demonstrated his true friendship
to the industrial classes: that during his
term as Governor he approved sixty separ-
ate and distinct labor measures calculated
to ameliorate and better the affairs OF the
working people, reviewing these measures;
piedging to Mr.. Hill the support of the Ia
boring masses of Brooklyn and New York,
and calling upon all workers to rally to the
support OF his cause. During the reading
of the resolutions, which were adopted, the
crowd in the rear of the hall endeavored TO
push forward and the police were showed
aside. The disorder finally subsided and the
chairman introduced Mr.. Hill.
Senator Hill said, in part: "The convict
system of labor leases should be abolished
because 1t is injurious to the discipline of
the prison and disastrous to the State and
injuriously- affects the mechanics. 1t is
upon the latter ground that recently
asked for the passage of bill to abolish
the system. Let us cast aside this system

Although Vice President Stevenson, to-
night, at o'clock. decided that he too
tired to speak at Cooper Union with Sena-

would speak at Brooklyn with Amos ].
Cummings. About one thousand people
greeted the Vice President at Tfvoli Hail.
Brooklyn. He first thanked those present
for the hearty welcome he received and
said he brought good tidings to Brooklyn.

had arranged for $50 speakers to ADDRESS

were failures. the principal meeting in the
Windsor Tneater was very successful. The
auditorium was jammed. Chauncey NJ. De-

before on the Bowery. He said Of Mr.. Hill
that he was one OF the best men In the

most ability when on the wrong side.
