NEW YORK, September 29th.-The Times
says Hill, the present Governor of the
State OF New York, has come to town to
engage in desperate hunt for a successor
to the unwilling Flower. He is taking an
active part in the work of organizing the
party for the canvass He was at the Hoff-
man house last night in close conference
with Thos. f. Grady, the original and first
enemy whom it was Cleveland's good for
tune to make while he was Governor.
The Herald, which has been balancing
between Hill and reform in the Democratic
party, has evidently caught the drift of
popular sentiment, and says this morning:
We do not believe Cleveland means to
serve as a bob to Hills kite. We do not
believe that Hill can be elected. His NOM
ination is the effort of the Reactionaries.
the Bourbon opponents of progress and re-
form in the Democratic party, to regain
control of what they lost through the nom
ination and election of Cleveland. A cor
who declares himself a 'life-
long Democrat, who voted for Cleveland,
and is glad of it, asks us, "Do YOU con-
slider the election of Hill in November
necessary to the continued predominance
OF the Democratic party in the Federal
We reply not at all.
Cleveland's Administration will stand or
fall on its own acts and merits. The fate
OF the Democratic party at large does not
depend upon the success or failure of any
State or local ticket anywhere.
The World SAYS: Governor Hill, who is
in the city, is understood to favor an ex-
soldier for the second place ON the ticket,
and has man to suggest in the event Cen
eral Slocum declines. 1t is said to be Cen
eral Jones of Binghamton.
THE VACANCY FILLED.
New YORK, September 2oth.-General Z.
S. Jones, of Binghamton, has been chosen
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the with
drawal of Flower from the candidacy on
the Democratic State ticket for Lieutenant-
Governor.
General Jones subsequently appeared
before the State Committee and formally
accepted the nomination. 1t had been pre-
viously rendered to General Fl. w. Slocum,
but he declined.
WHO JONES Is.
Jones was born in Utica, n. V, in 1928.
He was reared in Massachusetts, and his
home was there until the close of the war.
He commanded the famous Sixth Massa-
ehusetts Regiment, which was attacked in
the streets of Baltimore, April s, 1861,
while on its way to tie defense of Wash
ington. This was the first bloodshed in
the civil war. He subsequently raised the
Volunteers, and served
with distinction in the Army of the
Gulf He was brevetted Brigadier-G General
for meritorious services on the field. AT
the close of the war he settled in Bingham
ton, Broome county, New York, and estab-
lished the Jones scale works. He ran for
Congress against Thomas A. Plat in 1874,
but was defeated, and was again beaten
two years later for the same Office by G. r.
Dwight. He is regarded as business man
purely, and not as a politician.
