Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1888-02-01

The snow blockade throughout New
England and New York last week was
the most serious for many years. All
travel was badly delayed. Trains
were showed up for many hours, and
there was great suffering and incon-
venience. Several railroad accidents
occurred on the drifted roads in New
England.

The HILL FIGHT.-The
correspondent of the Public Ledger
says The city members of the Dem
ocratic State Committee who went to
Albany, Thursday, mot to fill the va
cancy in the National Committee, re-
turned home this morning in anything
but felicitOus frame of mind. Their
failure to agree, it is clear, marks the
beginning of as bitter warfare against
Mr.. Cleveland as ever was waged in
former years against Tilden and the
Tilden Democracy by the Tammany
Hall faction, then led by Boss Kelly.
OminOusly enough, it is once more the
Tammany faction that heads the col
umn. Every man of them voted solid
for the candidacy of Governor Hill,
and from the way they are talk
ing to-day one might be led to believe
thai the "child-like and bland" states
man had already the electoral vote of
New York in his vest pocket. 1t is
/ unnecessary TO observe that the con-
| ditions of this contest have been fer
menting under cover for some time
past, and that the disagreement OF the
| committee, under the circumstances,
must be accepted as but the first open
manifestation of a feeling which was
bound sooner or later to crop out.
Your correspondent heretofore has had
occasion to call attention to the numer-
Gus errands the Governor was recently
in the habit of making to this city in
the absence of any visible official bust
ness. which errands usually ended in
private conference with the Tammany
chiefs. How far the defeat of the
Cleveland men Thursday was due to
the undoubted understanding between
these two high contracting parties
must be, from the nature of the case, .
matter for conjecture, but the friends
of the President say they cheeriuhJ
accept the issue, and have no apPre
hensiOn as to the result.
