THE FIGHT IN THIS CITY.
REPUBLICANS ARE MAKING VIGOROUS
EFFORTS IN ALL THE DISTRICTS
WHERE THEY HOPE TO WIN.

The Congress campaign in this city is lively
| one. On this side Of the river the Republicans
| are confident Of electing four members of Con-
| gress and have a fighting chance IN several
other districts. Under the new districting there
are now eleven Congress districts In Manhattan
| and The Bronx. as against ten formerly. In
| every district vigorous campaign is being
| waged The Republican nominees are all men
| of sterling merit.
An interesting although one-sided fight Is
that in the With District This is the old With.
| formerly represented by Nicholas Muller. the
| Democratic leader Of Richmond County. The
district takes in Richmond County and the part
| of New-York lying around the Battery. Muller
| resigned from Congress less than two years ago,
and last fall Perry Belmont was nominated for
the short term. The district is normally Demo-
cratic. Montague Lessler. a young Republican.
was nominated to run against Belmont. The
disaffection in the Democratic ranks was wide
spread Lessler made rousing campaign and
Belmont beaten
This year il was believed until the last
ment that Belmont would be again nominated.
Just before the convention came TO order word
was passed around that Timothy d. Sullivan
was to be named. Sullivan is power the
lower East Side in Tammany politics and has
served several terms in the State Senate. He
has a large personal following. He was noni-
mated and is making the campaign in a territory
,, that is Tammany stronghold. and where he
is the unquestioned Tammany dictator. Less
Ter has been renominated and is making rous-
ing fight but the odds against him are great
and SuIlvan's chances are considered rosy. Still
no one believed LessIer would win against Bel
mont. and he did He Is young. vigorous and
has a large personal following. He will give
Sullivan a good fight
CHARLES s ADLER HOPES TO WIN.
Scarcely less interesting is the fight in the
Txth District Here the contest is even more
vigorous and the chances are in favor of the
Republican candidate Charles S. Adler is run
ming against Henry NJ. Goldfogle. the present
representative OF the district Adler has a per-
sonaI following in this district which has again
| and again sent him to the legislature from a
Tammany stronghold. Nominated for Congress.
he has gone into the campaign with vim. The
district is normally thousand Democratic.
Adler hopes 70 Overturn this and put thou
sand Republican majority 10 his credit. Gold
fogle is scared and working hard, but Adler will
probably win. Both Goldfogle and Adler are
Hebrews. and the Hebrew vote in the district
is large. Adler is the only Republican who has
ever battles In this part of the town. and
his campaign is being watched with interest
The general belief is that he will carry the
fight despite the odds against him.
The Xth District is now represented by that
| able Tammany statesman and representative of
the peepul' William SuIzer- Sulzer has been
| renomnated and he is strong in his district.
| Opposed to him is William Blau Republican
| of courage and force. and Sulzer has a battle
such he has seldom engaged In
In the XIth District, strongly Democratic
| William r. Hearst is the Tammany candidate.
| He is opposed by Henry Birrel BirrelI is a
| strong organization Republican. and is fighting
I hard against big odds. Hearst is getting only
perfunctory support. but the margin IN his
favor is large. This is the district represented
| by the late Amos J. Cummings. BirreIl is run
| ming for both the long and short terms while
Hearst is candidate for only the long term
| Edward Swami is the candidate for the unex-
| pired term on the Tammany ticket.
TAMMANY's FIGHT FOR MCCLELLAN.
George B. Mcclellan. present member from the
| XIIth District. is the candidate on the Tam
many ticket from this district. He is opposed
| by Charles Shongood. Mcclellan is a son of the
| late General Mcclellan. and is power in Tam
many Hall All the strength OF the organization
| is behind him. He will need il all. and his elec-
tion is not certainty. Shongood is making a
vigorous fight.
| In the XIIIth District the shoe is the other
| foot. and the practical certainty of election lies
with James w Perry. the Republican candi-
| date. Perr,- is leader Of the XXvth Assembly
District and Republican of ability and re-
source He is opposed by Francis Burton Har-
| rison a young man of good family and ability.
but whose hopes OF Democratic success are based
on meagre foundation.
In the WITH normally Democratic. Ira r. Ri
der is the Tammany candidate and Andrew j.
| Anderson the Republican candidate. Both sides
| are working hard but the chances favor Rider
| In the XVIII. William Fl. Douglas. the Re
publican candidate. will probably defeat Henry
/ r. Martin. the Democratic candidate. Mr.. Doug
| las is making an active canvass. and the nor
NAL Republican majority is in his favor
! Jacob Rupert jr.. hopes TO be returned as
| the Democratic Congressman from the XVIth
| District which he now represents. He is op-
! posed by William r. Spooner.
| In the xVIIth, Harvey T. Andrews is the Re-
! and. while there was some factional trouble in
! the district at time. il has all been healed
| and Andrews will probably win by a big ma
/ jority over Frank Shober. his Democratic op-
ponent.
| In the XVIIIth. Joseph A Goulden. the Tam
! many candidate has good percentage is his
/ favor against Frank s Schaefier his Republi-
/ can opponent in the normal Democratic ma
| jority but the Republicans are making a hard
/ fight, and Goulden's majority will be small If he
/ is elected.
