Again is the story revived that ths
friends Of President Cleveland will not per
nit the denomination of Governor Hill Of
New York. Probably more will be knows
about the matter at the meeting Of thl
National Democratic Committee TO NOR
row. Governor Hill, since hiR two resen
speeches in New York, City containin,
elaborate eulogies OF Cleveland and hi
administration, has bten universally
regarded as sure OF renomi
nation. That he would Strengthen
che National ticket in that stat
with one clasa OF the Democratic party 4
admitted and while the Times and other
OF President Cleveland's Mugwump sup
portsrs continually assail Hill, the latter
popularity with the rank and file Of thl
party seems to be very great. At presen
writing il doea not appear probable tina
any well considered attempt 70 retire th
governor VIII be made; but the power o
the Cleveland wing Of the party is IN
bounded, and II the Preaiden
really desires ex-Mayor Grace o
r r. Flower nominated in
stead Of Hill, the latter will havs t
retire as gracefully IS he can. It is tru
that the last tifns President attempted {
dictate guhernatoiial nomination 10 thi
state he met with memorable repulse a
the polls. But Mr.. Cleveland 10 an uniqu
figure in politics He sccomplishes thing
where others fail and be treads unopp &c
10 paths that others more experienced !
politics would hesitate TO walk, and so /
might attempt to retire Governor Hill an
succeed, with scarcely ripple Of surpris {
opposition.
