Hills Reply to RuckeIv

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb Ex-Governor Hill
was seen yesterday and asked whether he
proposed to reply to the letter sent him by
Governor Bulkely, of Connecticut, bearing
on the Pardon eXtradition matter Gov
ernor Hills reply was: mo, shall take
no official notice of Governor Bulkely's
communication. Mr.. Bulkely evidently
regards his usurpation of the Office of gov
ernor as joke The face of the
returns in Connecticut shows that Judge
Morris has clear majority over the other
candidates and was legally elected. He
has taken the oath of Office, and is not
only governor de jure but governor de
facto. When requisition papers are pre-
sented to me 1 am under the constitution
and the laws the sole judge of their suffi-
cheney.
VIII Not Recognize a ''Usurper.',
Il could not consistently recognize a re-
quest Tor eXtrat on signed by John Jones
governor of Pennsylvania. and l can no
more consistently recognize such a request
signed by Morgan q. Bulkely, governor of
Connecticut, who has no more title to the
Office of governor of Connecticut than
John Jones' has % that of governor OF
pennsylvania. There is no disposition Oh
my part that New York shall be made a
place of refuge for Connecticut criminals
but even that hardship will not compel
me to recognize a usurper"
