Albany, Dec 81 SpecIaD.-In December year
AGO the Bourbon Democrats Of this state were pro-
foundIy shocked by hearing that Governor llill had
ut,ed the golden crown OF state paper" from the
head of the venerable i" Albany Argus and had
transferred IL to that OF The Albany Tines whose
Editor had sometimes dared to speak slghtingy OF
Democratic digntares. "The Albany Times Tor
instance had frankly said that 1t did not admire
G.. Cleveland, esq, OF Massachusetts But Inc
Times made up in passionate alteration OF DAVID B'
HIN what IL lacked in love Of Grover Cleveland, ana
therefore The Hill Democrats thought that the Gov
ernor had done right TO reward friend. Gut when
Mr. Hill saw that the Democrats OF other States re-
corded the depositon Of The Argus" as the state
organ OF the Democratic party in the hght OF an
attack upon James II. Manning, son Oh Oanel
Manning formerly Secretary of the Treasury Mr.
Manning being the Editor Of The Argus" nc EVIL
IDENTIFY thought it best TO placate that newspaper IL
was announced, accordingly. that The Times was
designated state paper for one year only. and that
then "The Argus would again be restored 70 us
position as The trumpet Of the party.
Lately however, the editors Of "The Argus cieary
began to suspect that Mr. Hill did not intend TO Keep
his promises, because there were mmors that lhe
Arers7 intended TO speak freely hereafter about any
Democratic state oricer who shonld get into trouble.
Perhaps this was threat thrown out by The Argus
IL so 1t had its effect since the Governor through ms
agents Secretary Of state Rice, Treasurer Daniorh
and Controller Wemple, this afternoon dessnateo
aThe Argus as the state paper for the coming year.
Mr. Calicot the Editor OF "The Times,' does NOS
resent this conduct OF his patron On the contrary,
his newspaper is filed tonight with euloges OF Dsyd
a. Hill taken from other journals, and again the
nomination II Mr.. Hill for third term Is pressed.
Perhaps Mr. CaIicot been put In pleasant frame
of mind by the promise that his paper shall be named
as the state newspaper next year. At all evspts'
such a promise has been made, and "Ihe
Tines ard The Argw' are hereafter to be tho
siancse twins Of Democratic journalism In this state,
that is that in alternate years they viii be the state
organ OF the Democratic party In this State. Tbs
