and Reform measures generally, merely be-
cause he has happened to be the instrument
through which the bitter and unrelenting hos
tility Of the Democratic party to all such meas
ures has expressed itself.
Bad as his course has been on this ques-
ton, it is not one whit worse than that of the
rest of his party. 1t is true that he vetoed the
High-License bill of last year, but he got his
cue TO do so from the sixty-tve Democratic
members of the Legislature who voted against
it. 1t is true that he vetoed the High-License
bill of this year, but il he had done otherwise
he would have houted the sixty-six Democratic
members of the Legislature who voted against
it. Each Of these bills received just one Dem
ocratic vote. 1t was just so with the Ballot
Reform bill. His party was almost soidly
against it, Democratic organizations in this
city loudly called on him to veto 1t. He obeyed.
Are any Of the Democratic leaders so sense
less as to suppose that by inducing Governor
Hill to withdraw, or beating him in the con-
vention, they can blind the eyes Of the people
to the consistent record of the whole party, OF
which his course was only part? That record
was made up through long months Of the life
of the Legislature, and there is no escape
from it.
We have no respect for Governor Hill, but
we confess to some little degree of sympathy
with him. when it is proposed to make him the
scapegoat of the whole Democratic party. lie
is the servile tool Of the rum power. But so
is the Democratic party. He is consistently
opposed to reform measures. But so is the
Democratic party. He is an excellent repre-
sentative of the traditions and policy of that
party. In personal character he may be
shade more unscrupulous than the average
member, but in his opinions his methods and
his associations he is its ittng leader and
when he said "I am Democrat" he spoSe
the whole truth. 1t is an absurd hypocrisy Tor
any Democrat or any Democratic newspaper TO
talk about disowning him because he is not
good enough to represent them; and they Will
ind if they throw him overheard that though
they may have succeeded in making him un-
comfortable they will not have helped the
party at all On the contrary, they will have
publicly disgraced him for doing what they
did also, and so they will have condemned
themselves before the people Of the State.

Have prominent Irishmen send congratua-
tions to President Cleveland on his message on the
Fishery Treaty and get up demonstration If pos
sible" These were the instructions given by j. H.
Townsend, chairman of the Ohio Democratic State
Committee to his confidential agents. The Irish
men of Ohio did not respond to the appeal but
were as mute as clans in low water. The PreS-
dents Message fell fat so far as they were con-
cerned. They knew that he was the English can
ddate and that little idle buster over Retalia-
ton did not wipe out his three years of discrcdit-
able diplomacy and his free-trade Message. Their
good judgment does not alter the fact that the
Presidents political managers have considGrc the
Message a demagogue's bid for Irish votes. and
have made vigorous, albeit unsuccessful efforts, IN
their own choice language, to work the racket for
all it is worth

WILL GOVERNOR HI,L W!7HDRAWf

WILL GOPERNOR HIIL W!THDRAWf
The few Democratic newspapers that want
to defeat Governor Hill for denomination are
trying to make it appear that the whole Re-
publican campaign has been based upon the
probability of his denomination. Warner Mil
Ter was chosen as the candidate for Governor,
because as an earnest advocate of High Lii
cense he would be strong where Hill
would be weakest. Ii was determined that
the High-License issue should be emphasized
because it was precisely upon that point that
Hill is most vulnerable Therefore they argue
that If the Democrats will only refuse to NOM
mate H,ll the Republican campaign will be
thrown into utter confusion.
We certainly owe some thanks to these news
papers for the admission that the Republican
candidate will be far stronger before the people
on the chief State issue than the man who seems
most likely to secure the Democratic nomina-
ton. But they are all wrong, both in their
assumptions and their conclusions The Re
publican campaign was not based upon the
prospect Of Governor Hills denomination, and
his defeat in the convention or his withdrawal
will not alter the course Of ii by hairs
breadth. Any person having the slightest
familiarity with the history Of the High-L-
cense agitation in this State will hardly need
to be told this. Governor Hill has incurred
especial odium as the opponent Of Temperance

Mayor Hewitt is more amiably disposed
toward the Twenty-third Street Railroad Com
pany than the public generally is disposed to
be. There is no reason why the company should
not put conductors on its cars Immediately
Their statement may be received in good faith
that they are building two-horse cars and will
put them on by December !, but they should
nevertheless be required to furnish conductors
without delay. They can afford to do so, and
the daily risk to human life which is involved
in the present system should not be continued.
General Tracy's speech on taking the chair
at the convention yesterday should be en-
ployed by the National Committee as cam
paign document. IL is clear and interesting
in style and as an exposition of the benefits OF
protection. practically and historically, it has
rarely been excelled. The attempts OF the
Democracy to distract the country's attention
from the issue its candidate himself had the
audacty to make, were properly resented by
General Tracy. They viii not be successful,
and the way TO make them fail is to meet them
at every point There can be no question but
that the Democratic managers are frightened.
The hullaballoo they are making over the Pres
ident's message shows their anxiety to get
hold of something that will divert attention
from the free-trad, question. But, fortunate
", they have begun to dodge at too late an
hour.
Those people who are labonng against ad-
verse circumstances in the effort to believe

Mr.. Laurier, the leader Of the Opposition in
the Canadian Parliament makes charge
against Sir Charles Tupper which, we trust
Sir Charles will be able to deny. In strong
dgnifed speech to the electors OF Ontario,
after freely conceding what cannot honestly
be disputed, that this country has never enter
tained the slightest unfriendliness against the
Dominion which was not excited by the cause
lessly hostile conduct Of the Canadian Govern
ment, Mp. Laurer imputed to Sir Charles the
statement that the Government would find a
way to compel the Yankees to grant reciproc
ity." If Sir Charles used these words, it is
fortunate that they did not happen to attract
attention before he completed his duties In con-
nection with the late treaty. OF course, we
all know that Canadas conduct is inspired by
a desire to do just what Mr.. Laurier says Sir
Charles declared he would do. But Mr.. Lau-
rier's remarks were not delivered in an intem-
perate style, and they certainly call for reply
from the ex-Commissioner The impression
they will otherwise leave on American minds
will not aid in the settlement of this unfort-
innate difficulty

Patrick Egan's admirable letter in reply TO Free

The crowning folly Of the Democratic silly sea-
son is the assumption that the Republican Senate
has been out-nanoeuvred by the President ana does
not know which way to turn. What the President
has done is to beat retreat lie has abandoned
the position held by him since his Administration
opened. The Republican Senate has held its
ground rcsolutely and defeated the Treaty. The
President has yielded TO the Senate and with u
great flourish of trumpets and much heating Of

Judge Kinney, the agent of the Yankton
Sioux, arrived in Nebraska last Friday
and gives appalling accounts of the suffer
ing and loss of life in Dakota during the
recent cold weather. He says the deaths
from cold are underestimated as the
newspapers have tried to conceal the
facts. While he was at the station at
Bonhommie nine frozen bodies were
brought to the depot. The loss III the
county will reach 100, and estimates
made at Yankton place the loss of life
from the cold in the Territory over one
thousand. The roads from the Agency
to Yankton are lined with dead cattle,
many farmers having lost all their stock.

BUs,sG.s MEN ON THE TARIFF.

The N .ional Board of Trade, which
was in ion in Washington last weef j,
discusssc tle tariff question, and the re-
ducton q abolition of internal revenue
taxes. Iha Board resolved that recent
events have shown the danger to the bus
mess interests of the country from con-
tinuing in time of peace the excessive
taxation which was found necessary in
time of war. The large surplus in the
Treasury ii IS up the circulating medium,
which is the life blood of commerce, ex-
poses the psople to greater taxation in
a menace 70 our industries, dwarfs bust
ness entei prises, gives the Treasury pow
err over commerce never contemplated by
the Constitution, and is constant tempta-
tionl 20 eXtravagance in the administra-
ton of the Government. The Board fur.
thek resolved that business men of all DO.
litical parties, whether protectionists or
free traders, ihould unite in demanding
essrly action by Congress to reduce the
p esent revenues in the way which will
beast embarrass existing industries.
4 Had the Board suggested practical
,aletiod Of carrying its resolutions into
effect, it would have earned the gratitude
of the people, but it left the matter about
the same as the national platforms of both
parties did in 1884. All concede what
the Treasury reports prove, that the rev.
enues of the country are in excess of the
needs of the Government, but the trouble
lies in reducing the receipts without
Gripping some industry which has been
developed and fostered by tariff. The
issue is not protection and free trade, but
the reduction of the revenue without
material injury to some industry.
