GOV. HILL AND BLAIR, OF THE WASHING
TON GLOBE.

ivy. HILL AMI Di>hihb VT iliL w h.'Ai-'N
TON GLOBE.
For long time past the Washington Globe has
pursued with the most relentless fury and malgned
with the most profigate bitterness every member OF
the democratic party who has dared TO dissent from
the views, oppose the political preferences OF
Francis Z. Blair Many of the assailed have passed
over the attacks of the Globe in contemptuons 81
lence and now, grown bold by impunty the mag-
nant and mercenary beller that presldcs over ITS
deslines points his poisoned arrows at the loftest
marks. Some time since, Mr.. Hill, Of New Hamp-
shire, "the Granite Democrat" was marked by
Blair as a subject for deDuciation and ostracIsm
Mr. Hills long services TO the democracy, the purity
Of his political character, his ardent and uncompro-
missing hatred of the tyranny OF federalism, ms OPP
position to cliques his weearned fame-all excited
both the fear and envy Of the political eper OF the
Globe. He enyied the honest reputation earned by
the New Hampshire Statesman, and he feared his
influence with the democratic party. To accom-
plsh his sign of destroying the political character
and power OF Mr. Hill, Blair put in circulation the
yilest ISLANDERS that imagination prolific OF evil
could COIN and conscience of the most elastic quail
ity could countenance Mr. Hill was accused OF
having entered into compact with the Government
for the purpose of selling the democracy oil New
Hampshire and charges of partially and fraudulent
practise in the matter Of the printing Of the post
office department, brought against both the adj
ministraton and Governor Hill. The venomous
ISLANDERS of the Globe did their dirty Office well
enough to suit temporarily the purposes OF their un-
scrupul,us originator: but had Francis r. Blair
dreamed of the mercess erpose of his righteousness
the keen dissection of his character and the lay ing
bare of his base motives which outrage and indgnIty
have extorted from Mr.. Hill, he would have gone,
Judas-llke, and hanged himself before he would have
excited the stern Indignation Of foe so formidable
We have republished on the outside OF our paper
to-day from the Madisonian most important docu-
ment- letter from Gov Hill to Francis Z. Blair ex-
posing the fasity Of the charges brought by the lat
ter against the former, hurting back the accusations
Of the Globe, and depicting IN stirring and VIVID Ian
guage the mendacity, prohigacy and corruption OF
the Globe. We bespeak for il the attentive perusal
and consideration Of all readers--of every one
who has the well-beng of is country at heart.
Mr. Hill has not willingly assumed the task of cas-
tigating Blair-he forced TO il by the obstinate
perse Of the editor of the Globe in his vile
and unprincIpled course. He assails the Globe in
self defence. Mr. Hill meets every charge of his adj
versary and refues it most concusvely, then drops
the defensive and becomes in turn the assailant He
handles MIR. Blair not rUthlessy and clumsily, but
carefully somewhat after the fashion Of surgeon
preparing patient for an operatop.-And truly
most skilful and mastery operation follows. The
keen ade lays bare every fibre in the moral organ-
cation Of the Globe man. We have his meaness, his
mendacity his avarice his corruption, plain and pal
pable before us
We are shown how Blair tracks the spoils as
hound follows game on keen scent. We mark all
his twisting and doublings and see how completely
he is mastered by the love of gain, TO which he has
surrendered consistency honor, incipte, apd you'd
Them in his power.-Fortunately, however, the in
Huence of the Globe has long been on the wane and
this letter has given il its death blow
We are glad tina. Mr.. Hill has taken Blair in hand
and applied the knout unsparin TO his shrinking
back-for richly the castgation merited The
course Of the Globe for a long time has been most
despcable, and treacherous TO the democratic party
whose true interest It has injured not little, and
menaced with still greater detriment
Towards President Tyler its course has been nfa-
NOUS 1t has passed over in silence ms most meri-
torious acts, and then turned upon him and abused
him when those acts had secured the triumph Of de.
mociacy at every electoral contest. How nobly
does the language OF true and tried democrat like
Mr. Hill, Who, as he may proudly say has been a
New Hampshire democrat almost from the time Of
the first formation of parties in that State, contrast
with the tone Of pseudo-democrat like Blair. "Wuh
the proud feeling, F" says Mr.. Hill, " of high
qualification that received The morning of the
4ih Of July, 1892 tie assurance from the mouth Of
Andrew Jackson, that he should place his veto upon
that bill of which TO him the bearer from the
Congress Halls, did hail the second veto Of John
Tyler upon a second bill passed nine years after
wards.
The extreme length and completeness Of Mr. Hills
letter will not give us room comments, and in
fact renders them unnecessary.
