Albany, Feb. 7.-Govcrnor Hill threw of his mask
Of devotion to tho Worlds Fair to-day, and In mes
sage threatened the Legislature that he would veto the
Worlds Fair bill unless it is passed in precisely inc
shape in which it came from Nevl orll-that is, with
majority Of Democrats and assistant Democrats as com
mssi0ncrs IN control Of the enterprise II the Lesi'
atuTe should representatives OF the people modify
the bill in any respect. such as adding sufficient Re
publicans as commissioners to balance the Democrats
and their allies. the Nucwumps named as commissions

Mr.. Hill thus attempts to be both Governor and
legislature. Republican senators and Assemblymen
not surprised, however, at his action II is not

elected a Governor ne has cndcavord 10 increase ms
power at the expense Of the Legislature Not beng
In the least scrupulous about using threatening to

senators and AsSembymen at his back to prevent Ms
vCtoes from being overridden ne has IN some cases
succeeded in his plans thus to be the sole la"-nahhe
