MAY WITHDRAW. k New York. Got. 18.—No process tins been made toward harmonizing tho Democratic tactions in the conttresslon- al district* of this city, which wits bo urgently r«xmrmendcd by Chairman Faulkner. Mr. Faulkner In an address 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 leged, by the exnrem direction of. Mr. • Richard Crokcr. to make place for G. B. McO’.ellan. the young member of the board of aldermen and the son of the general of the same name., and some other nominations were made'. Dunphy and Campbell huve^had their names placed upon other tickets. "Ex-Mayor Grace, who represents the mate Democracy, haa demanded an eoiUtable division of the nominations bbtr '' e ®" hte organization and Tamma ny. and specifically the restoration of Cockran and Warner, but uo to the «w e hf ' Ul J”; obMn » d no tuwurance will be aHowed. f0r th * Stat ?

T h ° r ,?. , ls n_ s ^ r c e 1 y onp of‘the dty dig. trlcts which are not represented by Democrats which would be safe for e ther Tammany or the state Demo cratic canldates should they remain In the contest." \ 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.

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. INDEPENDENTS SHUT OUT. Lincoln, Neb.. Oct.

Commissioner Miller Asks the Attor ney General for an \ Opinion. He Regards the Provisions of the Dis pensary Act as Interference With Constifvtlonal (tights of the Government. 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.
