Another batch of evidence against the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor comes to LIE
TRIBUNE from Albany this morning. 1t all
goes to show that the statement is true that TO-
ward the close of the Assembly OF 1871 Mt
Hill realized perfectly what kind OF man was
the Tweed whom he served. Even 1t he had
not noticed the excitement into which the en-
tire State was thrown by the introduction OF
Tweed's bills in the Assembly, he must have
understood exactly what the situation was that
followed Irving's expulsion. Tweed then lost
his majority and therefore blocked the wheels
of legislation for days until he had bought up
the needed member to give HIM control again.
AL the facts were notorious. Then when the
Assembly did finally get to work, Hill voted
early and often to apply the gag rule, thereby
helping to rush through without discussion the
scandalous measures drawn for the express
purpose of rObbing tins city.

TYF FRENCH SITTdTJON

The French elections do not involve posi-
tive reversal of political conditions. The Con-
servativcs, while they have doubled their voting
strength, will not have an actual majority of
the Deputies. In the second ballots, of which
two hundred will be required, the Republicans
and Radicals will probably unite in most in
stances where there is danger of increasing the
power of the MOnarchical factions. In this
way the control o! the Chamber will be re-
tanned by the Republican groups. AS for the
Senate, it remains strongly Republican and can
be depended upon to resist assaults upon cx-
listing Institutions Tho chances seem to favor
the continuance of the Brisson Cabinet in
office. If the Oppor,unists had not been
signally defeated NJ. Fcry might have re-
turned to his former post. As matters stand,
NJ Brisson is at the head of the polling in Paris
and consequently is acceptable to the powerful
group of Radicals which is headed by NJ.
Clemenceau. The Ministry will have to be re-
organized aud recruited from the Radical

CLETGLiNL'S ANSWER TO INDEPENDENTS.
President Cleveland denies that he has
written such 4 letter as has b,tn reported in
support of Mr.. Hill ms candidate for Governor.
But he has dictated, in reply to inquiries, the
following explicit statement: "Thc President
ais il Democrat, and it is strange that any per-
son should question his position. He earnestly
"desires tue success of his party in the pending
selections in New-York as elsewhere and
"any assertion to the contrary is utterly and
"malicious'y false" Exactly, and that is the
reply which 4 Democrat usually makes, when
Republicans who have seen fit ID support
Democratic ticket appeal to him aftcrward for
a similar independence of party. :" lie is
Democrat" he replies, and " Of course desires
the success Of his party But the Republicans,
he thinks, have no business to desire the sue
cess Of their party. This idea was never more
Extensively presented than it is now by Prcsi-
dent Cleveland. who owes his own cleo
ton to the votes of Republicans who
thought that he could and would Srsa
above party" and that he was one of those
rare Democrats who care more for public
welfare than for party success. These men
have tried him, and he now tells them: " | am a
Democrat, and of course desire the success of
LILY party
But they aro Republicans, and ought to seek
the success of the party by which the public in
tcrest has ever been more carefully guarded and
more wisely promoted than by any other party.
If this is TO be a government OF party, ii one
party or the other must be chosen by the people
and such a government it must be if there is
no disposition on the part of Democrats to rise
above the ties OF party-thcn the duty OF every
Republican is exceedingly clear. The man who

popular policy. The anomalous position oil NJ.

Conservatives nor the Radicals could have
scored their present gains. with NJ. Ferry aC

prejudice excited by the campaigns in Tonquln,

municipal government, and legislative and adj
ministrative warfare upon the Church. Inc

The chief source of danger to the Republic In
the immediate future will lie in the possibility OF
cffecting fortuitous combinations between the
extreme sections of the Chamber There will
be no powerful group in the centre to sustain
the policy of the Ministry of the day. Cabinet
Government will be at the mercy of those, on
the one hand, who have no sympathy with ex-
listing institutions, and of those, on the other
hand, who will have Radical Republic or they
