not have used the following language in
answering a question as to " hat he thought
Of the New York situation: Il find tie
disposition in some quarters to suspect
Gov. Hill of a lack OF sincerity in
desiring Nr. Flowers election. Il is
urged that Gov. Hill is anxious to
show that he is the only democrat who
can carry New York. Now, if Mr.. Flower,
with all the patronage and machinery of
the State under the control Of Gov. Hill,
is not elected, it seems to NE that it will
require Z great deal Of self abnegation On
the part Of Gov. Hall to make ;he demo-

responsible. In other words, if he has the
State so we'll in hand, there seems to be 20
reason to expect Mr.. Flowers defeat. II
he has lot. then We have been led TO ex-

will bring Gov. Hill to Washington to take
bis seat in the Senate with a great deal
more prestige resulting from demonstrated
power than he could ever hope for from de-
