BY THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.
sAnAroGA. July 13-Governor Hills brief visit
here closed this morning. but his soourn and the con-
versaton 1t has caused have suced to make several
points clear In Democratic politics for this fall Gov
crnor Hill started in to delegates favorable
to his nomination perfectly definite plan, which
seems reasonably certain Of success, unless something
now unforeseen should The Governor knows at
the outset that the National Admnista alton, while not
having overmuch affection for him. is not disposed TO
fight actively against him. Secretary Manning has
not overlooked the fact that Mr. Hill delivered the
Chemung delegates Mr.. Purcell when the machine
was making Its fight for Maynards nomination In
1888 but Mr. Hills friends point to the facts that they
were only given to Purcell after Maynard had clear
majority; that John Brien. OF Dutchess, has been
forgiven for his disobcdencc that occasion and that
the Governor worked hard for Cleveland. The Presi-
dent 1t Is known, recognizes in Mr.. Hill different
kind of man from himself and would prefer a candidate
who would continue his line OF State policy. When
this argument used Mr. hills friends resent the i'm
putation that Governor Hill has broken the Cleveland
traditions His veto of the Brooklyn Reform bills,
they insist, at least deiensible as Goveinor
Cleveands veto Of the Roosevelt Tenure OF Once Dill,
and his dismissal OF The charges against shern Davlu,
son only manly way OF acting where Cie,eiah9
preferred indirt cton. Governor iilil Ia shteWu
enough thus to conirOvcrt the line OF possible Admins
tration attack upon him. MIR. Hills friends freely
express the belief that the Republicans will nominate
one of their strongest men, man OF tue Eyaris sype
as Edward Mitchell has expressed 1t, ana that he WI"
get the full Republican aud hai all the lndepcn-
dents have become permanent Democrats, ana are
resolved to vote the Democratic ticket, whoever Is
nominated in order to approve The National Adminis-
tration. - ,, ,
These are the abstract views Mr.. Hills friends are
now presenting all through the State especially 70 now

Governor since his ability hsrmonizer OF differ

that this result will elate old Bourbon politicians

ClevelanC regime and are heartily glad to see man at

and satisfy the politicians. Hills plan has thus far

equally certain that Controller Chapin must go by the
hoard The Manning machini-ts, who lifted him into
the Controllers Office, the disgust OF the Brooklyn
delegation IN 1853. are against him because while all
tle other state officers at Saratoga last summer
laboring for Cleveland he not only abscnicd himself
bat permitted bis clerks TO attend aud boom Flower
The Hill men are against him because the Brooklyn
delegation whch TO be the backbone Of the Cover
nors strength will not swallow his denomination.
