HUBERT o. THOMPSON, the leader of
the New York County democracy, who
died suddenly Monday, was yet young
man For number of years he has been
a prominent figure in New York politics,
and his influence was as much sought as
was the late chief of Tammany's. Mr..
Thompson belonged to the Tilden faction
of democrats, and was warm supporter
of President Cleveland in the conventions
which nominated him for governor aud
president. 1t is said that the enemies of
Cleveland look upon Thompsons death
as a severe blow to the presidents inter,
ests, and that it has advanced the candi>
dacy of Gov. Hill for the presidency if he
desires it. With Kelly and Thompson in
the grave, Tammany hall and the County
democracy will have to choose new lead.
