HILL OUT OF THE RACE.
HIS FRIENDS CONCEDB THAT HD
Has NO Snow.

Cleveland Con to Be Almost
Sure to Be Nominated-Feers That
Hill May Try TO Prevent Him From
Carrying New York The New Blaine
Boom.
WASHINGTON. A Dril 9.-That David Benz
nett Hill IS out of the presidential raoe his
warmest friends here now acknowledge.
They would not get upon q house to make
the declaration, but privately, they ac-
knowledge it and their dlsappolntmenb
seems to be more in the man than In the |
fact. There is probably no one in public |
life who remembers such rebound in pubs
ho sentiment as has occurred very recently.
There are some politicians, and. 1T is fair to
say that they have been aDtagonistic 10 ex-
President Cleveland from the first, I
who fear that the ex-PresidenuS
may not be able to carry New York. |
but there are mighty few men In congress
who will not to-day declare that they be-
lieve Mr.. Cleveland will be the democratic
candidate for President. There is some~l
thing subtle and mysterious in the way Mr.. !
Hill has sunk suddenly out Of sight OF
course. he has the New York delegation,
but the thing that all shrewd politicians see
IL that the indescribable influence which
goes further TO give man strength and to
give stability 10 his position than anything
else In politics, is lacking for him and that
he is steadily losing ground In his state.
NEW YORK ASHAMED OF HER OFFER
It looks 20 the average politician as il /
New York had made her offer TO the other |
states. but finding that thay reject il. she Is |
ready to withdraw it, and Is somewhat !
ashamed or having made tho offer. A poll
OF the House and Senate would probably
disclose a majority opposed to Mr.. Cleve-
land. The same poll would disclose the
fact that the democrats OF both houses sars
almost unanimously Of the opinion that he
will be nominated. Since Mr. Hin has I
been In the sunlight OF national public life, !
he has shrunk gradually, day by day. He
ts looked upon as one who may injure the |
Democratic party, but who can never
lead It, There is fear that envy aud
resentment might lead him TO revenge upon9
MIR. Cleveland the injury he feels in his
failure, and that fear alone disturbs the 4
party leaders who now look upon MIR. /
Cleveland's nomination as inevitable. The
feeling is that Mr.. Cleveland can poll more /
votes, tho country through. than could any
other democrat, barring New York. In
Now York the doubt arises from lack OF
confidence in tho loyalty OF Mr.. Hill to his /
party. To-day some Of the men who have /
been most earnest in their support of Mr.. !
Hill express privately the opinion that the I!
democratic ticket will be Cleveland and
Boies.
THE NEW BLAINE BOOM.
1t seems hardly possible, with all the adj
vantages Mr.. Harrison has had in the nlas
nipulation OF the things to bring about his
nomination, that he can fail, yet ne is
anxious and his friends are anxious The
occasion Of their anxiety is found in the
| fact that the renewal Of the Blaine boom is
not merely idle gossip. There is uns
doubtedly very settled intrigue IN prog
ross having in view the rehabilitation
OF MIR. Blaine and the defeat of the
President. Mr.. Harrison was, in "A measure,
disarmed by the letter OF declination from
the Maine leader, but those men who have
most at heart a desire to bring about Mr..
Blaine's nomination. and those who have
nothing 10 expect from the reelection of
Mr.. Harrison, have not been idle. They
have been working quietly and skillfully,
and they have gone 30 far now as to feel
secure in the assurance that Mr.. Blaine
will not decline the nomination IL they can
bring about the conditions which will re-
suit in its proffer. Their work now
is 10 exercise that influence which
will undermine Mr.. Harrison's strength
In the convention aud throw the delegations
over 10 Mr. Blaine. They already feel cons
tident that, by whispering 1t through the
convention in a manner OF authority which
will excite the belief that Mr.. Blaine him
self wants 1t, there will DO a ground swell in
favor of Mr.. Blaine's nomination. 80 thRb
Mother pledges to Mr.. Harrison nor in.
atruotions from primaries will prevent the
delegates from voting for Mr.. Blaine This
work Of the Blaine men is not being done
out In the open. but 1t Is none the less ef-f
fecbve for that.
