split in the Democratic party in New
York is still topic OF conversation
about the capitol. The politicians scon,
to take even more interest in the
peculiar situation OF affairs there thar
they do in either the troublesome silver
question or the tariff.
Senator Hill will not arrive until 10.
morrow, but quite n number OF tho Hill
mon returned to-day. They present q
united front and are confident even to
aggressivencss. They admit, however,
that Mr.. Hill has now played his trump
card and will have 10 sit back and await
the verdict from the country at large.
"Should the Cleveland men," said ono
OF Mr.. Hills litutenants, Circulate pe-

claring that they would not under any
circumstances vote the Democratic
ticket ii Mr.. Hill was tie choice OF tho
Chicago convention, it would quite
etIectually settle Mr.. Hills chances for
tho Presidential nomination"
The anti-IIill men, while by no
means as confident as their opponents,
are fully MS aggressive and are not
wasting much timo in talking. Mr..
Dewitt Warner has come to BIO regard
cd as the leader OF tho Cleveland fac
ton in tho lower house. When asked
what he thought was the extent ana

Hill. 1t is an uprising OF the Demo-
cratic voters OF New York, who propose

We do. OF course the burden OF proof
will rest with us. Tor the delegates
elected last Monday are entitled 10 tho
presumption that they arc legally en-

is to convince the Chicago convention
which is the tribunal from which there
is no appeal in such Q matter as this
that We. instead of the Hill delegates,

voters OF the empire state. live do
that, we will GUST the Hill delegates,
representing majority OF the Hill men,
and seat our delegates. live fail, our
case as delegates will falltothc ground"
"Will tho fight be abandoned should
the Chicago convention decline to scat
your delegatcs?"
"Tha tigha will not be abandoned so
far as New York is concerned. It has
been organized Tor the purpose of wip-
ing out OF existence the machine that
now dominates and controls the politics
OF New York, and as a movement it will
notceascuntii that end accomplished"
DO you mean that the fight will be
carried beyondt the Chicago convention /?
Do you mean in case that Hill is the
nominee OF the Chicago convention tho
men with whom you are identified
would make an open fight on the Dem
oCratic ticket?"
Mr.. Warner lodged this question BY
saying: "This fight is not national
o%e, but state affair altogether. We
will not attempt to carryit beyond New
York; there will be no effort made to
extend an anti-IIili organization into
