THE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN. The Faction Fight in New York Bodes mo Good to the Demoeratie Party. VIEWS OF A VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT JUST RE- TURNED FROM THE EMPIRE STATE, Hon. Courtland Smith, of Alexandria, Va, who has just returned from a visitto New York, was met by aStaR reporter to-day and asked about the political situation in that state. He said that the flerce war waging between Tam- many and the county democracy for political supremacy im the city bodes no good to the democratic party as a whole in New York. He continued: “The silk stock- inet idealists and political dreamers in the democratic party are going to vote for Davenport, but the great mass of horny- handed sons of toll, the true and staunch fiber of which the party is composed is heart and soul for Hill and will stand solidly for him and tlie democratic ticket, Many of the best in- formed and most careful of our party leaders in New York city estimate Hill's majority in New York and Kings counties at 60,000. ‘They also assured me that the ‘democratic Fole which went off to Blaine last, year has returned and will support Hill. 1 was also informed by men in whose Judg- ment I have confidence that the stalwarts, silently inspired by the irresponsible Conkling, will stab Davenport for his treatment of distingushed ex-Senator of the Empire state, and thatthe wave which rolled over Conkling in the New York legislature is returning to engulf the republican ticket. In his speech at Jamestown, up In the state, Judge Foraker Stated that Fitzhugh Lee was riding through Virginia in confederate uniform and waving a confederate flag: but in New York city he did not dare to repeat this false and mischievous state- ment, because he realized that the intelligent people of that city could not be, duped by such a falsehood. ‘They know that Gen. Lee dotted the gray in 1865 and that Foraker donned the blue 1n1885, Foraker’s speech in New York city did nov help Davenport. Our party friends there think that the democrats could not have @ more valuable aid and potent factor in the coming election than the appearance of For- aker and Sherman waiving the bloody shirt, and teaching hate and sectional discord. President Cleveland’s attitude in the pending campaign is considered by all right— thinking “people as manly, dignified and patriotic. His elevated stand in regard to presi- dential non-interference in elections is waking people up tothe idex that the President has ken high ground about the office he occupies. Mr. Edward Cooper, who was a prominent can- didate for the nomination against Gov, Hill is using his mighty influence for the ticket, and his efforts will tell at the polls. The hosts of Tammany hall and the county democracy are rallied for a bitter struggie,and it remains to be seen whether or not Hill can win in the face of this fleree factional struggle. Our best party Jeaders in New York are very hopeful.” on Sherman on Conkling. THE SENATOR HAS ALWAYS HELD THE EX- SENATOR IN HIGH ESTEEM. ‘The name of ex-Senator Conkling was men- tioned Saturday in the presence of Senator Sherman, who was conversing with a friend or two, Mr, Sherman e: the hope that Mr. Conkling wonld come out boldly for the republican ticket in New York. “Conkling is a great man and a strong man, and {t is time now for him to come out for his ‘B Mr. Sherman was then told about the letter of Mr. Conkling to the colored men of New York, who invited him to speak. He had not seen the letter. The Senator expressed regret that Mr. Conkling had determined to refrain from any participation in polities, and added: “Lt has often been said that Conkling and Lare enemies, but we never had an unpleasant word In cur lives.

HE ENTIRELY REPUDIATES THE INTERVIEW WITH HIM, From the Washington Post to-day. No publication since the last presidential campaign has created such widespread interest In political cireles as did the interview pub- lished yesterday purporting to be the senti- ments of ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling. It ap- peared in New York in the colums of the Sun exclusively and was telegraphed to The Post, in which ritappeared in Washington, The Sensation Iboceastoned 1s OW followed by an- other. Mr. Conkling says that the Interview is false, “LI utterly repudiate the interview attributed to me and published to-day’ said the ex-Senator to a Post reporter yesterday. “I have never, at any time or any place, or to any person, said what has been printed ‘as my utterances.’ The first I heard about an interview having been had with me was through a dispaich I received last night from the New York World stating that such an article had been offered that pews) r an juesting me say wheter {had authorized its publeation, sent back a dispatch to Mr. Pulltzer denying the interview. “The reference made to my relations with Morton isan entire misrepresentation of the case,” continued the ex-Senator, “for we have always been, and are now, on the most intimate terms of friendship. I have not made any mnen- tion of Mr. Blaine for several months at eed for I consider him as having entirely drop) out of the political world, Nor have I made any reference to any candidate put forward by the republican party, for I have determined to hold aloof from the campaign, I do not intend togo upon the stump at all this fall, and that 4s the only true statement made in the inter- view attributed to me. Mr. Conkling returned to New York yesterday afternoon by the 4 o'clock train.

Bishop Holsey remarked upon the predica- ment the bishop was placed in by continuing so many men in active relation, there being more men than there were appointments toflil. Some men grew old. They may be good preachers and have a thorough knowledge of the Serip- tures, but still were not good for ministerial service. They grew impaticnt, peevish and fretful, and got behind the time. ' Still they aid not want tobe located or made supernumerary or superannuated. If they were sent to a charge, after six months some one else wou! have to be sent, or if they remained twel' months the charge would die. REV. R, THOMPKINS RESIGNS. Presiding Elder Hamilton, of the Washington district, moved that Rev. R.

He alluded to what he says was Mr. Proctor'’s theory that the earth was formed by the stratification of matter thrown out from. the sun, and said he had proved to his satistac- Uion that the Idea was tale, Proot was given that the sun did move in the recent transit of Venus. He had waited for that transit two Years to find that that sun did move. It took place 2,000,000,000 miles away from the other transit. The transit of 1874 took place in the constellation of Taurus.

HELL AND HEAVEN. “You don’t profess to tell us where hell and heaven i, do you brother?” quked the bishop. The proiessor dodged the question a little. He said that It was absurd to think that hell was Underground and that God had put" the. devil down there, “Why,” he said, “i the devil had any sense at all, he would crawl right out,” and the professor went through @ number of” pecu- liar contortions to show how the devil might be sup] tocrawl upout ofa hole in the ground, He concluded by remarking that just so far as they accepted this stratification theory of Proe- =— they would have w give up their the- olozy.

To-day, in the Court in General Term, the cases of the District agt. Oyster, Daley and Emmert were decided, Judge Merrick deliver- ing the opinion of the court, These cases came up from the Police Court on information charg- ing them with carrying on the business of pro- duce dealers without license, and as to the cases of Oyster and Daley it was claimed that dealing in butter and eggs they were not such roduce dealers as were contemplated in the i, and were therefore not liabie for the license tax. The court holds that butter and eggs were produce as much so as the direct product of the soil. The parties were therefore liable for the tax, and the cases were therefore remanded to the Police Court to proceed to judgment. In the case of Mr. Emmert, a bacon dealer, brought up on a simular charge, the, court held that he came within the butchers’ class, and they not being liable to license tax in the Wash- ington Market, the defendant must go acquitted in this case. ————— Alexandria Affairs.
