But the way Of the Democratic club organizer is
not altogether smooth. AT the present time Governor
Hill is having the Hill Democrats all over the State
frown upon the efforts Of the Tariff Reform Club OF

also has eyed jealousy the attemSys OF the Tarif

This he regards insidious plot TO harm him, by
the dissemination Of literature hostile to him. When
