POINTS IN THE DEFIANCE or MR. MI

POINTS IN THE DEFIANCE or MR. HlLL.
DcmOcracy's efforts To save David i. Hill
from the defeat which his public career has so
richly earned for him arc pltilully weak. The
defence is enlphatcally an excuse that accuses.
The more it is pressed the for the aEIbi-
ton of this very vulnerable candidate. Here
are two of the leading points made by his adyo-
cafes:
Pleading the baby act. Confronted with Hills
newspaper connection with Tweed, in all that
it implied of moral obliquity, the Elrnira Demo-
cratic contingent falls to pleading the baby act
in their standard-bcarer's behalf. lie was but
twenty seven wears old, mere infant in arms,
an obviously immature and irresponsible beng,
when Tweed bought his way into The Elnird
Gazette. This was in 1870. But in that ycai
the Democracy of Chemung County, which in
cludcs the Democracy of Elmira, regarded Mr..
Hill as old enough 10 represent them In the
Legislature and accordingly they elected him
to the Assembly. Nobody, so far as are
aware, stumped the county against him and
strove to compass his defeat with the charge
that he was still in the nursery.
Pleading the statute 0f limitations. 1t is The
World that makes this brilliant point. Hill
may have been pal of Tweed, his raids on the
Treasury as a canal claim lawyer may have
been as ndefcnsibe as they were big, his career
as a legislator may have convicted him Of being
the plant tool of the most Infamous ring known
70 our politics, but then-this is the argument
he was chosen to Office again three years ago
and "the popular verdict" then recorded i'll
his favor buried the past" 1t is a q honest
plea. 1t dcccives no intelligent person. Your
pettifoggcr who painfully realizes that his
client has no case resorts to just such an artful
dodge Very little attention was given to Mr..
Hill when he ran for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ship, even by his own party organs. lie
ESCAPED criticism because he escaped observa-
ton. lie was successful because Mr. Cleveland
was successful, just rs the tail of the kite
ascends when the kite ascends. And yet The
World in its extremity would fain dispose OF
the crushing indictment against Hill, based on
his public record, by reference to an election
in which, for the reason indicated, that record
did not come up for review. The point that
the indictment is too old is on par with tho
point that Hill was merely "a young Democrat
twenty-seven years of age" when Tweed fell
in love with The Elmira Gazette.
However-although the defence Of Hill is
weak, it must be admitted that his friends Lave
done tho best they can for him. Tho points
which they make would be stronger If the facts

taton of an :ndiscrimlnate chccSc-parcr. Every
sensible man can see that the whole value of
the postal service lies in rapid and regular
TRANSFORMATION And vet that consideration
never seems to have occurred to MIR. Villas. His
manipulation OF the foreign service appears to
be prompted by the notion that 1t can make
no earthly difference whether invoices repre-
Sentiug tens of thousands OF dollars accompany
freight or reach their destination in ten or sixty
DAYS. The relation of correspondence to COM
mcrce has evidently never penetrated his head,
and with the disIntcrcstcd iratcrnal spirit of
the thorough going frcc-trader, he plays into
the hands of foreign shipping corporations to
the grcvous injury of the lines established and
controlled by our Own people
II this were all it would constitute n case
against him quite serious enough. Bat there is
reason to believe that Mr. Villas, moved by the
SCHOOL, boy spirit OF getting even with those
who oppose him, has actually taken the aggrcs-
siye against our steamship companies and Is

authorities to deny our vessels the port

1t is hard to believe that the United States

the Government influence he possesses against

governments. If after breaking W the ser

Political interest throughout Europe VIII

the English Premier, is to deliver at the New
port Convention. Continental statesmen Will
want to know where the English Government
stands on the Eastern question whether 1t VIII
sustain the Berlin Treaty or accept Big
Bulgaria under Prince Alexander. This Is a
point which will interest all English statesmen
but they are also anxious to hear what inc
position of the Conservatives Is to be on lhe
great social questions of the day. and III regard
to Ireland, too. The PIemicrs task is not an
easy one, and upon the way it is performed de-
ponds many thngs-the peace of Europe posi-

The registration in this city yesterday was
lighter than the first day year ago, but
heavier than two years ago. 1t was 46,O'o,
against 74,773 in 1884, and 43,94S in 1888.
The unpleasant weather yesterday doubtless
kept many voters from the registration offices.
Hubert o. Thompson showed his stupidity as
q political leader at Saratoga when he allowed
the friends of Mr.. Hill to beat him at every
noint and he has done no better in the local
complications Tammany is away ahead. 1t
called a convention first and is first in the field
with an excellent nomination for the Supreme
Court-Judge Barrett. 1t has assumed an atti-
tude OF harmony and patronizing ar which
must be NORWOOD and gall for the County
Democrats to behold Still the latter will
probably surrender and do as Tammany says,
especially since Mr.. Cleveland has given his
sunport to Mr.. Hill-Tammany's candidate.
The Democratic admirers of Mr.. Hill are
pretty badly off for defence OF their candidate
when they have to plead that he was so innO-
cent i'm 1871 that nc did not even know Tweeds
bad character and that he supported Twetds
hills in the Assembly not knowing that
they were objected to in this city.
Now. as matter of fact, before one Of
those measures was passed by either house, the
whole State was ringing with denunciatlons of
them. They were denounced at Albany, both
in the Assembly and in committee ; and great
indignation meeting against them was held i'll
New-York City. Really the effort to make Mr..
Hill out an innocent young man in 1871 is
simply silly.
A nice lot of fair minded men are the Demo-
cratic majority of the State Board for the
Equalization of Taxes and Assessments! For
this year they have added to the assessed value
of property in this city over $112,OOO,O 600, in
spite OF the fact that we already pay about half
the State taxes. The total assessed value of
property in the State for 1885 exceeds that of
1884 by over $S0,000,000 of which half at
least was added to property in New York City
yet these equalzers have elapped on us more
than hundred million more! This is a fine
specimen of Democratic regard for taxpayers.
