Now York telegram.l
The jeremiads are being sung to-
day. One is the wall Of the mug
wump.. and tho other is tho requiem
over the blasted prospects Of Governor.
David Bennett Hill. The political career OF
mis- ENccllclcy is without doubt wound up.
He organized this State for knself.
without paying any attention to G. and.
MI the liquor men and the dist able
members of society generally were Hill,
as lie has vetoedthe high license bills both
wears they were passed by the Republican
Legislature. All through the State where
his friends are the strongest lie ran ahead
of Cleveland. Where Cleveland Democracy
is strongest lio suffered but slightly. and
not in proportion TO the number of mug
,wtimp votes found i'm these localities. In
his own county Hill ran $50 votes ahead OF
Cleveland. In Erie County. where Cleve-
land used to 1.-Two. but wiiere now Governor
Hills friends have charge OF tho Demo-
cratic organization. Cleveland was defeated
by over 5000. while Hill had almost 5000
plurality. Il difference of about 1000. In
Rensselaer, County. where Cleveland was
defeated by 374. Hill had IN plurality. This

organization, lle ran 1.2OO votes ahead of
Cleveland. syracuse is in this county. and
Hills friends control tho city organization
votes ahead of Cleveland. David Disber
w;s the state committeeman from this
county until he was put OIL tho committee
by the Cleveland men on account of his dis
reputable character. He is an cX-gambler
and Il friend of the Governor.
In New York the liquor men had a Hill
organization of their own. and made enough
difference in the vote to elect Hill without
any gains throughout the State. They were
encouraged in their purpose by,tte State
returns from all over the State told that
Cleveland was defeated and that Hill was
elected. the State Committee held Il jubila-
ton meeting. They were making so much
noise about It that the crowd around the
hotel took it VI. and the news spread
through the own Senator German came
down fiuni the National Committee TO tho
HotT.nan House and told the State Commits
tee that they might at least have the de-
cency to conceal their JOY. After this they
subsidized for II while.
The results of the vote in this city. as re-
vised and announced semi-oflciallv to-day,
enable one by a simple a%rithmetical calcula-
ton TO determine within IL few hundred of
me number OF mugWulnpS IN this town.
Cleveland's plurality was 57,2l3. Hills was
6s.353. Jones was 1920. The mugwumps
supported Cleveland and Jones: they OBJ
posed Hill. Jones was the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. and his
name was on the same ticket with Gov.
Hills. the two name making ny the State
ticket. The various mugwuinp newspapers
and the first meetings that opposed Hill
urged OIL the mugwumps the necessity of
voting against Hill. and. ut the Game time,
of voting for the other man on tho same
ticket. that they might emphasize in this
easy way the immense number Of voters
who We're opposed to Hill.
