A nIoredlted Executive.

If there were any life left in Gov Hills
Presidential boom surely it has all been
knocked out by the revelations made before
the legislative committee that is investigat-
ing the Governors relations to the aqueduct
commission bill. Indeed, unless he can over
throw the lnculpating evidence, which seems
impossible, as considerable of it consists of
letters over his own signature, it looks as il
his retirement to private life was inevitable.
The public was doubtless prepared to believe
that Hill used the offices for all they were
worth politically, but it Is to be doubted if
they had formed so low as estimate of him
as to imagine that he would deliberately ad-
wise the suppression Of evidence of corrup-
ton against public officer because its pub
llcity might hurt his party. But this 1t
clearly appears he did. Long before the evil
dence Of corrupt bargain between Rollin
M. Squire and Flynn became public Hill was
m ade aware of its existence and requested 10
turn Squire out of his Office on account of it.
No honest official could have refused. But
| Hill hesitated, said there had been too many
| scandals already in New York, and APP
| pealed to the Democracy of the city cham
berlain, WINS, who had laid the facts before
| him, not to agitate the matter further. But
| Hills attempt to protect Squire did not end
| there. He went further and used what in
fuence he could TO suppress the letter of
| Squire to Flynn, which contained the evil
dence of the corrupt bargain by which the
| former got his office, and through which he
| held it, Indeed there is some testimony,
though it is not absolutely conclusive, that
| he threatened to remove District Attorney
MARITIME of New York city if he undertook
| to indict and prosecute Squire. Hills letters
to Squire disclose the motive of the Gov
ernor's actions. They show that the Gov
ernor had found Squire to be a very SER
yIceable tool. The Governor appears to
have had a perfect understanding with
Squire. If Re wanted place for one of his
friends Squire was always ready to furnish
it. Their relations did not cease when til
Governor found out about Squire's corrupt
practices, but he still continued to ask Squire
for places for his political friends, and adj
dress him as "My dear Sir" There was no
break in their cordial relations.until the pub.
LEGATION of the Squire-Flynn letters, which
put the public in possession of the evidence
of the corrupt bargain whose existence Hill
had known for long time. Then Hill
broke with him in order to save himself, and
displayed much zeal in his prosecution.
As the case now stands Hill is shown not
only to have refused to remove an official
against whom there was conclusive evidence
of corruption. but also to have used or
threatened to use his official power to pre-
vent his exposure and punishment.
