Yesterday about the United States senator
ship from this state, expressing deep interest
that it should he given to smith NJ. Weed.
We know Mr.. Weed out West" said Mr.
Hill. He is known all over the country
Wherever there are Democrats who fought
under the Tilden banner in 1876 Mr.. Weed
has warm friends. ! hope ne will be elected
because he is an able man, Il capable poll
tician and Il man ofintegrity
Ex-senator Sabin, of Minnesota, who was
here during the week, is another Western
statesman who has raised his voice in ex-
preston of the opinion that Blaine and rec
iprocily are tie words that will conjure Re
publican success in 1892. The senator was
chairman of the Republican national com
III ittee from 1850 10 1884, and his eX-
rerience as a politician makes his judgment
worthy OF more than ordinary consideration.
Besides which, he has heretofore been con
sidered and has acted in The opposition to
Mr.. Blaine in the Republican national con
yenti0mS.
Judge }. NJ. Thurston, of Nebraska, pres-
dent of the Republican National league has
been in New York for several days He lives

mace of him; The Farmers Alliance will
cut no figure in the West i'll 1892. If there
are three tickets in The field-Republican
Democratic and Alliance-thc Republicans
can carry every state. The Farmers Alliance
people are disappointed in not having the
balance of power in congress, which they ex-
pected 10 secure at the recent elections
Having failed on that score they will make
an effort TO secure u hold on the United
States senate. There are several Western
states in which they may have some
show OF accomplishing that purpose. B ut
they viii not make any figure in the presi-
dental election.
Gov Hills friends continue to drop into
New York city i'll twos. threes and tours, and
are exceedingly active i'll securing for the
governor every scintilla OF political news
be most certain of obtaining his object
There is no doubt that GOV Hill intends
TO be president. and whatever ne does in poll
Tics will he shaped with that end in view
His intimate friends say that he will be NOM

at this time all foreshadows Cleveland /
was IN conversation with Col. james E.
Jones, who was deputy collector here
under Magone ard is ROW port
warden by appointment from Gov
Hill, when he said to me- THE Dom
ocratic party cannot win the next election
for president without New York and Indiana.
When the national convention comes to-
gether 10 consider its nominations, no mat
ter what the previous personal feelings of
the delegates may have been. they are going
TO make pretty deep inquiry as 10 what the
Democrats in the doubtful states want done.
The Democrats of New York, New JERSEY,
Connecticut and Indiana certainly know
better what nominees can carry those states
than the delegates from states which have no
contests TO make. Now you put it down in
your notebook and refer to it often as gospel
truth, when | tell you that David b. Hill will
so into the IA tional convention with the
doubtful states of New York. New Jersey.
Connecticut and Indiana. No convention
can resist that argument and his nomination
is Il toregone conclusion
