FLOWERS LEANING TOWARD HILL.

EXPORTS OF THE GOVERNOR TO GET GOOD
HOLD on HIS SUCCESSOR.
Albany. Nov 90 observation-disclosures are beginning
10 think that Roswell p. Flower mortgaged his al
mnisraon to David b. Hill In return for the laters
promise not to oppose him, Flower when lie sought
the nomination for Governor at the hands OF the Demo
cratic State Convention. If such mortgage exists 1t
is argued that possibly it extends to pledge rom
Mr. Flower TO support Mr.. Hill for President, abandon
ing oil thoughts of being candidate for President
himself.
Mr. Flower IS causing good deal Of anxiety 70 the
Cleveland men already by his apparent leaning toward
Mr. HILL They ask why il was necessary for Mr..
Flower to take Colonel Timothy s. Williams as MS
private secretary. 1t is true that Colonel Williams has
been excellent private secretary for governor iH
retlcent. honest discreet, Woodworking ard able.
These are excellent qualifications for private secre-
tary but then Colonel Williams could not fail 10 carry
along with him into the next administration many OF
the ideas of the present one. He could not be eN-
pccted to have any but the most friendly FEELINGS
toward Governor Hill. Would he be npt 10 90 out OF
his way TO say a friendly word for Grover Cleveland
IL there should be fight within the Democratic party
of this State for the control Of the delegation TO the
Democratic National Convention! This Is question
the Cleveland men asking. They cannot but wish
that Mr. Flower had selected his private secretary
some man not so closely related to Mr.. HILL
Then Governor Hill is also seeking to name a
Speaker of the Assembly favorable 10 him rather
than to Mr.. Flower arguing that the Assembly Will
be Democratic. The selected by Governor It'll
is Dr. r. H. Bush, OF Chemung County, one OF his con
fdental political agents. The Speaker of the Assembly
IS one OF the most Influential men In the state, Mr.
Flower will discover when he comes to Albany This
candidacy Of Dr. Bush is pushed by the Hill Democrats
everywhere in the State. Dr. Bush, If Speaker, could
do a great deal toward influencing the current Of Demo
cratic politics all the State The Speakers APP
pjintments OF chslrmen OF committees have great IL
fuence upon politics in his own party.

At the hearing on the Australian bill
On Tuesday the principal argument In oppo.
itfon was made by the Hon. j. III. Drum
mond of this city. Mr.. Drummond was OBJ
posed to 1t chiefly because It would tend
to promote Independent voting, which he
thinks ought not to be encouraged
There is no doubt tina. it will do what
Mr.. Drumm0nd says, and If that is objec-
tionable then the system is certainly obiec-
tionable. To argue the main question,
namely, whether independent voting is OBJ
jectionable would hardly be profitable at this
time. We had supposed, though, that our
form OF government rested upon Intelligent,
independent suffrage. We had supposed
that the nearer the suffrage came to express
ing the Individual, conscientious, untram-
meled convictions of the people that
were admitted to it the nearer 1t came
to realizing the ideas of the founders
of the government. We had sun.
posed that the chief complaint against
the South today was that large part of its
voters were not permitted to vote jndepen-
IDENTIFY, but must vote as certain people
wanted them to or not vote at all. If. how
ever, independent voting Is to be diseour-
aged we do not see but the Southern whites
ought to be encouraged in discouraging it,
Mr.. Drummond is also reported as saying
that the fact that there was public demand
for the Australian bill should have no influ-
ence on the legislator. We cannot agree
with him in that. OF. course a legislator
should not sacrifice his individual judgment
entirely to public clamor. But the fact
that the public ask for certain kind OF leg
islation ought nevertheless to be considered
by the legislator and accorded some weight
The people are the rulers in Republic, and
their representatives ought certainly to paw
some attention to their wishes. If the peo-
pie are not fit to rule by reason OF
want OF intelligence or lack Of morality, that
is good reason for changing the form of
government. But while our present form of
government exists we ought not to under
take to destroy its substance by insnirinp
our representatives with the notion that
they are independent of the people and nm.

Congressman Tracy of New York, who is
making about the only vigorous fight made
by any Democrat against free silver coinage,
is close friend OF ex-President Cleveland,
and it is believed that in the course he is
pursuing he has the warm encouragement of
that gentleman. Certainly no man in the
country has more reason to wish the free
coinage question out of the way than the ex-
President. If 1t continues to be one of the
important questions before the country, and
the Democratic party preserves its present
attitude towards it, Mr.. Cleveland cannot
hope to be nominated for the Presidency un-
less he turns complete somersault. When
he was President he was an outspoken adyo
cate Of the stoppage of the coinage of the
silver dollar. Unless he changes his mind
before 1892. or the question of silver coinage
disappears. he cannot get the support of the
Western delegations to the national conyen-
tions.
