HIPS Friends and CleveIand's--A
Wise and Patriotic Suggestion
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
New YORK, Nov. lot is safe to say
that at no previous time in the history
of New York politics did the "next
campaign" begin SO soon after an active
effort had just closed. There will be
little rest for the statesmen who lie
awake nights feeling the public pulse
from now until the Legislature meets.
Almost as much bother and pensive con
temptation is present for them over the
next Senator and the next Governor as
If they were in the throes of the last
days Of presidential fight
Although Mr.. Smith NJ. Weed
has SO confidently and repeatedly stated
that he has secured the good will and IL
tie to Mr.. Evart's seat, there are grave
doubts as to the sequence of fruition to
his desires. Tammauy and Kings county
own the votes that mus elect the man
The leaders in these important Sec
tions have way of disposing of
the wishes and claims of people from the
rural and Republican regions to which
Mr.. Weed belongs. SO there are whis-
pers that, if Governor Hill does not want
the place himself that as it is 70 years
since Senator has been taken from this
Democratic end of the State, it is about
time that the geographical monotony
was broken.
This conclusion would snuff out Mr..
Weeds Senatorial candle. But doesn't
Governor Hill want the place. Nobody
knows, and he himself has not yet said
anything definite on the subject. Mr..
Weed is quoted as asserting that the
Governor promised him the Office. This
some handy friends of Mr.. Hill now
deny. So the burning local issue is:
What does Mr.. Hill really want2 There
| are several answers offered. One is that
if he could make up his mind that
| Cleveland is foregone conclusion he
would take the Senatorship The accept
ance in January next of the Federal
Office would be an indication that he
| accepted the inevitable, and he would
thus make no showing in the National
Convention. This he seems not yet pre-
pared to do.
The Presidency.
Failing this, he is still a presidential
candidate, and perforce will want to be
renominated for Governor to keep his
State in line for 1892 With the laurels
of successful second election to the
office, he would be all the stronger tc
capture the higher prize. Mr.. Hill is 3
trained and practical politician, and car
be relied on to make his choice at al
early day.
The Brooklyn Eagle, one of Mr.. Hill''
strongest friends, says to-day: Il
strikes the Eagle that the thing for Mr.
Cleveland to do is Just to do nothing a
all, but let the honor and the responsi
blity, if he should be willing to assum
them again, come to him with the gravi
tation of a groundswell from all part
of the Union, and that the thing for Mr.
Hill to do is to recognize the invincibl
preference of the great body of the na
tional Democracy for the leader who, i
1883, presented and personified the issu
to which the people in 1890 have sal
amen by the majestic voice Of CON
manding majority. Let the Governo
go to the Senate for period lasting t
the close of President Cleveland's secon
, term, and, in the Eagles opinion,
, course SO unselfsh. so harmonizing an
so patriotic on his part would necess;
3 rily make David B. Hill himself th
t Chief Magistrate of the United State
for the two terms following Mr.. Clev
lands re election to the office in 1892
