urgently r«xmrmendcd by Chairman

today »aya: • I t
"In eight of the nine districts. com
prised exclusively within the city of
New York, there are opposition Demo
cratic candidates. Tammany was first
In the fleild with Its netnlnatlons. and
for one reason or another had turned
down about half the delegation. J'ahn
Dewitt Warner was elbowed Into fils
nomination in the Thirteenth district by
the transfer of Amos J. Cummings of
the Eleventh district. E. J. Dunphy,
who has continuously defied Tammany,
Is retired. T. J. Campbell was consid
ered to have had his full share of honor
and dignity, and the nomination In his
district was given to fl. C. Miner.
Bourke Cochran was sheflved, It la al

HIDE WWNTS THE VOTES. \
Chairman - Faulkner Is reported to
have said in Washington since Ms re
turn from Now York 'that he hud rea
son to hope for an arrangement upon
?K. sa .u lsfactory b ■'> !,l!, • ’ but upon what
this hope is founded he-has not lndl-
catod. The appearance of Hill's name
at the head of both Tammany and the
slate Democratic 'tickets may also com
plicate matters. Nathan Strauss, . the
Tammany or regular nominee for
mayor, claims that he ehould have the
exclusive benefit of whatever prestige
there may- be -in having his name used
on the. regular state ticket. Mr. Hill
has declined to refuse the use of-hls
name to the state Democracy, which
Is supporting Strong, a Republican, for
mayor, and Strauss 'and his friends
are In consequence much disaffected
toward the senator. „
!An evening paper says Mr. Strauss
has sent his private secretary to Mr.
Hill with the ultimatum that the sena
tor must discountenance the elate
Democratic ticket by refusing to allow
his name on It with that of Mr. Strong,
the citizen's and Rapirblioan nominee
for mayor, or he (Strauss) would with
draw from the regular or Tammany
ticket.
It Is said that If Mr. Straus* with
draws another effort Will be nude to-
duce ex-Mayor Grant to make the
l-ace. 'Mr. Straue* Is In Rochester and
mill meet Mr. Hill there tomorrow.
Most of the Tammany leaders who
mill talk about the matter say that
Mr. Hill will not change his mind, but
will allow the state ticket printed on
the local ticket headed by Strong and
the Grace Democrats. Should. Mr.
Stromas decide to withdraw from the
race, 'the executive eommttittee of Tam
many Hall, which ta empowered to
ill! any vacancies that may occur,
would nominate a candidate for mayor,
nnd If this was too late for nomina
tion by certificate the man selected,
could be nominated Iby petition.

HILL SENT HTS ANSWER.
■Rodhester, N. Y., Oct. 18.—N. L.
Klnkhcad. secretary to Mr. Straw,,the
Tammany candidate for mayor of New
York city, arrived here this afternoon
and as soon as Senator HH1 reached
the Powers hotel he sent to Hill's room
a' communication from Strauss, in
which Strauss said he would not run
for mayor on the Tammany ticket In
Oise Mr. Hill allowed his name to head
the Grace-Falrchlld New York county
ticket. Mr. Hill denied himself to all
comers and In the seclusion of his
room wrote an answer to Mr. Strauss'
communication, which wds given to
Klnkhead to take to Mr. Strauss. Mr.
Klnkhcad left here on the 7:20 o'clock
train for New York city, but refused
to make any statement regarding the
nature of his mission. Mr. Hill nlso
refused to be Interviewed on the sub
ject.
HILL AT ROCHESTER.
Rochester. N. Y„ Oct. 1t.—More
than 3.000 people heard Senator David
Bennett Hill at Lyceum theatre thLs
afternoon. Ho spoke for an hour and
n hi.lf, referring particularly to the ap
portionment Issue, the excise question,
tariff and Democratic administration.
His references to "our patriotic presi
dent" were loudly cheered, but the
greatest enthusktsm was evoked when
be referred to the Democracy a* op-
pom-1 to religious Intolerance. He was
pale and fatigued.
NO REPLY FROM HILL.
Up th 10:30 o'clock tonight no word
h*e been received from Senator Hill In
reply to the letter sent him by Nathan
Strauss. The__h“ll'-f at the Strauss bead-
quarters wais lhat Hill would not grant
the request.—
Mr. Strauss said emphutlcajy it a
conference held at the Union Square
late in the afternoon that he would not
modify ills dmand. All the leudens of
Tammany pleaded with Im to change
his attitude, but he.had but one reply,
and that was that his mind was made
up. and that he would not alter It, and
had no other answer. The conference
of the leadens was warm. There were
present numbers of the lights of Tam
many Hall. Among -them ■ were Mayor
Gilroy. «ueh J. Grint, James J. Martin,
Delaney NlcoU. Jbhn Bowens and Na
than Strauss. The conference lasted
from 5 untH 7 o’clock. Each and every
one of them pleaded with Strauss, point
ed out to him how critical the situation
was nnd urged upon him the Import
ance of golhg tslowly In a matter So
grave.
Nothing that was said l>y any of them
moved Mr. Stream in. tlte least from hla
determination to get oft the ticket unless
his demand was accede,! to. Ho refuted
to cornier the matter. Seeing that there
V.'is no chance of changing his mind, the
matter of another candidate was then
dtseusoed, for there seemed to let no
doubt in the minds of the leaders that
nnother man would have to lie selected.
They felt that Hill would not give In,
nnd they knew Strauss would not. Tho
batteries were next turned on Grant. He
was urged to accept the place held by
Strauss. When the conference oame to a
close the leaders were sure of hut one
thing, and that was that Strausa would
no: run unless the Grace names were dis
carded.
At a late hour the opinion was that
rothlng would be heard tonight.

TILLMAN WANTS IT TESTED.
I Washington, Oct. 18.—Secretary Car
lisle 2t*as (forwarded to Attorney Gen-
er.il (jlooy for his decision the letter ot
Internal Revenue Commissioner Sill
ier, which presents In detail the ques
tion raised between Governor Tillman,
of South Carolina nnd the United
States as to the Jurisdiction of each In
the enforecemen't of tho South Carolina
dispensary law. The letter Is as fol
lows:
"Washington, D. C., Oct. 16, 1854.—
Hon. John G. Carlisle. Secretary of the
Treasury—Sir: I enelos'e herewith a
letter from Governor Tillman of South
Carolina, land a, printed one forwarded
by him of the 'state dispensary law,'
and Have the'honor to request that the
same may be submitted to the honora
ble attorney general for opinion aa to
the course which should be taken In
the event of seizures by stale officers,
or confiscation under the dlspenuary
law, of distilled spirits • deposited In
distillery bonded warehouses under In
ternal revenue rawa.
"It Is proper to Stale' that the natu
ral effect of acquiescence by this office
In the course proposed to be taken
would be 'the probable complete de
struction of the bonded warehouse
system within the state; the conse
quent cessation Of the business of man
ufacturing distilled spirits under the
Internal revenue laws and the loss to
tho United States of further Income
from that source.
■'The dlspenoary, It appears, has been
construed by the state supreme court
as not absolutely prohibiting the manu
facture and Halo of distilled spirits;
but It appears also that under the law
a distiller In the state cannot sell his
product to private persons within the
state, nor. If I rightly apprehend the
provisions of the fhlrtf section, the
private products to be shipped out of
the elate, but only 'to state commis
sioners or persons outside of the state,
and under regulations which would se
riously inconvenience the distiller. Un
der such restrictions there would hard
ly he anv farther haw for the produc
tion of distilled mbits within the state.
No distiller would be Willing ltd pro
duce an article to he sold on compul
sion to a single purchaser and at the
price fixed hy him. The queslon 1«
broadlv presented whether a state can
so legislate incidentally to deprive the
United States of Its declared sources of
revenue, and It appears to me a proper
matter for the consideration mf .-the
highest law officers of 'the government.
"The supreme epurt In McCullough
vs. Maryland Iv Wheat, 316, declared
that Who states have no power, by
tartitlon or otherwise, to retard. Im
pede. burden or In any manner control
the operations of the constitutional
laws enacted by congress 'to carry into
effect the powers vested In the na
tional government.'
"Aid. In the Hannibal and St. John
■Railroad Company vt). Husen. 25.
United States. 4(15, Was hold that
■neither the unlimited powers of a
state to tax. nor any of Its large po
lice powers, can be exercised so as to
work "t practical assumption of the
powers conferred by the constitution
upon congress:’ and 4n numerous other
esses 4twa s held 'to the same effect.
"On the other hand, In such cases
os the Boiton B«er Company vs. Mas-
sadhus«tts, 97, United States, 25, 4ha
right of the state to absolutely prohibit
the manufacture and sale of Intoxi
cating liquors was upheld.
"Applying what appears to bo the es-
tabll.hed law to.the present case, It
would sdem that while the state of
South Carolina has the right, In the
exercise of Its police power, to prohibit
'the manufacture and the traffic In ills-
•ttlled spirits within the state, It 1s
doubtful If it has a right, without pro
hibiting the manufacture or traffic, to
practically take possession of the busl-
ness in all its details and to carry It
on and through Its own agencies, for
Its own'Profits, thus forcing the United
States to surrender the income derived
by It from a source heretofore relied
on. I‘t follows, of course, that if one
state may do 'this, all may, and the
police powers of the states will hove
been ho exercised as to work a prac
tical assumption of the powera of con
gress.' and to 'Impede, burden nnd con
trol tho operation of 4ts laws.'
‘‘You -will note 'that the governor
propones to recognize tho lien of the
United States upon tho spirits In ware
houses for taxes due thereon, nnd to
pay the same. The law fsectlons 48
and 60 of the Adt of congress August
28. 18911 limits the right of withdrawal
of spirits from warehouse to the dis
tiller himself. The state now proposes
to personate' tho distiller, Sueh au
thority hns been denied 1 by United
States courts to mate officers. See
McCullough. Jr., vs. Henry Krelg,
United States circuit court, western
district of Pennsylvania, at the May
term. 1884. Justice Bradley of the su
preme court concurring.
“It Is to bn observed also that It fre-
mienitly happens 4!hat a distiller I* In
debted to the government In ti sum
greater than the tag upon the spirits
themaelves then in warehouse. Such
indebtedness Is. by section 3251 R. S.,
declare to bo a Hne upon the property
■and right* to property of the distiller.
The taking of sueh spirit* by the state
In the manner proposed might easily
impair. If not destroy- the ability of
the government to collect He debts.
"For my own guidance, I wish to be
particularly advised whether or not I
may lawfully consent to permit the
■withdrawal of spirits In bonded ware
houses In the state of South Carolina
upon seizure therein by the state and
the tender of the tax to the collector,
or upon Judgment of forfeiture by the
state court.
Governor Tillman personally yester
day requested an early reply to this
Inquiry..He was told,however, that th-
mutler liu nder consideration and will
he disposed of ns sooh as possible.
Respectfully yours,
"Joseph 8. Miller, Commissioner."

of Their Looms,
Fall iRlyqr, Maes.. Oct. 18.—Contrary
to the expectations of the manufactur
ers, and much 'to 'the surprise of tho
publlo in general, the weavers continue
to mhnltevt a decided opposition to re
suming work under the terms offered
game weeks ago. Though there aro
hardly 30,090 out of 60,000 looms In opt
oration, tho Wiener* seems to run in
streaks. The northern section of the
city, where the Bonier City, Sagamore,
Narragansott. Wootumoe nnd Mechan
ics mills are located, have hardly fifty
weavers working. In ths custom sec
tion, where the Stafford, Slljnves
Flint. Wumpanoag Bernard, Hcaeounet
nnd Cornell mills arc. fully nine-tenths
of tho looms are running nnd nearly nil
of Uit* otd weavers nre In charge. The
Hargraves No. 2 and the Chase mill, m
the southeastern part of the town, have
not ■'let* weavers at work In them. In
the center of the city, the Robertson
mill hasbut few weavers, while Hie Da-
vot mill, directly across the street has
MO looms running out of a possible 1.IC0.
The Tecumseh and Richard llunlsn
mills In -the same vicinity have only half
of ihelr looms running. Less than an
eighth of a mile away the Pucaesett
and Durfee mills are running all looms.
