the Democrats here tllat smith NJ Weed will he
elected United STATE, senator That bellci IL
the most fervcnt in The BIC white rranite Capitol
itscf-n the Offices of the Democratic State
officials and their clerks II is belief that may
be said to encirclc the executive chamber IN
which sits David b. Hill. who will virtually
dispose Of the SenatOrShp. Mr.. Hill hlmselt,
there is reason to think, las given the tip that
Mr. Weed is TO Lc the Senator. There is, TO he
sure, reservation in Mr Hills mlnd and that
is that NJ. Weed may he 50 hotly opposed by the
radical wing of the Democratic party, which
lavOrs "a tarn for revenue only that he may
he compelled 10 drop hlin. But that Mr.. Hill now
sincerely favors Mr.. Weed observ0nt Demo-
cratic politician doubts. Desiring Mr.. Weeds
election he docs, Mr. Iiill will exert his tre-
mendOus powers to bring it about.
But at the time Mr., Hill is thus pressing Mri
WccI he intends, it is apparent, to watch keenly
the drift Of sentiment in the State and in the
Nation in relation To NJ Weeds candidacy. Mr..
Hill cannot forget lol a moment that he himself
is a candidate for the Presidency, and that all his
actions in this State are being observed closely
by his rivals for tie Democratic nomination for
that office. Is the TIDE Of sentiment in the Demo-
cratic party toward great reduction of the tariff
50 strong that he cannot afford 10 have Mr. Weed
elected Senator? This is ono OF the questions
which Is botherinc Mr. Hills friends and prob
ably is mal'inS hi, own political speculauons
anxious ones
Mr.. Weed, his friend, say. would act I'm con-
scrvatiyc manner upon tie tariT. He would not
| favor revolutionary action. and they point ont
that his election would hc an assurance to the
| business world that the Democratic Senator from
Ncw-Eork in dealing with the tariff would con-
slider il in n temperate manner. He would not
make savage attacks upon capital which had
been tempted into making enormous investments
in manufacturing plants. If Mr.. IIill is response
| bic for the man who is elected Senator from New
York. they argue that Mr. Weed would he Just
the man for him 10 select. since the choice Of Mr..
! Weed would indicate that Mr.. HILL as n candidate
for President, fayOrS conservative action upon the
tariff. But. rs stated, Mr.. Hill does not yet know
! but that the radical tariff refomers are in the
ascendant in the Democratic party. and there
fore. he is diligently learning what is the actual
/ opinion Of the Democratic party ami Of Demo-
/ cratic newspapers upon the tariff question.
