Albany, JAN 2I.-David B. Hill having put
the Democratic party of the great State of New
: York into his private box, now gives notice to
all other politicians, and especially to Grover
Cleveland. that he proposes soon TO shut down
the lid and to snap the lock. Mr.. Hill from
Washington to-day directed his humble servants,
the Democratic State Committee, to meet in the
Hoffman House next Tuesday, and to issue call
for the meeting OF the Democratic State Con-
venton which will elect delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention. Mr.. Hills object is
plain. He wishes 10 answer at once the challenge
Of the Pennsylvania Democrats who announced
their preference for Cleveland yesterday at the
Democratic State Convention held in that State.
Mr. Hill will have the New-York Democratic
State Convention called at once and as early as
he get the delegates to that convention to-
gether-probably about February "a. He Will
have them declare in thunder tones that they
favor the no,aination Of David B. Hill for Pr s.
dent. That will be Mr.. Hills reply TO the
Pennsylvania Democrats. But Mr. Hill Will, OF
course, have far higher aim in making this
declare for him. he hopes to start wave OF
enthusiasm for himself in the West and South, as
the Democrats there engaged in elccting their
delegates TO the Democratic National Convention
Meanwhile Mr. Till has his New-l ork machine
well creased for effective action. His lieutenant
in this State Governor Flower sgncl yesterday
tho Enumeration bill. This gives the appoint
mcnt of 5000 Hill workers cnumerators to
Frank Rice, the Hill Secretary Of state. These
cnnmcrators are TO do their work all the
State in the month of February, and it is in
February that the delegates to the Democratic
State Convention will I've elected. II need not he
raid that these 5000 hcclcrs' of David i. Hill
will precipitatc themselves with considerable
violence upon any Democratic primary or con-
vcntion at which the friends Of Grover Cleveland
assume TO be in the majority, and that, as the
result, a great many Hill delegates viii
be elected to the Democratic State Convention.
Mr. Cleyeand's friends in Albany confess that
they think it hopeless to contend with Hill for
the support Of the New-York delegation to the
Democratic National Convention. Governor
Flowers signing OF the Enumeration bill, and the
addition thus Of 5000 Hill workers to the normal
It'll force wac u last straw which broke thr back
Of their courage. Indeed, whatever thought OF
resisting Hill they ever had has been oozing away
beneath Governor Flowers steady appointment of
Hill Democrats 10 offices. As of them said
last night never d greater political migrate
than Roswell 7. Flower. Why. We trottcd him
out for Governor, and supported Murphy, when
! Hill opposing the nomnat'tR OF Flower
What reward have We GOT tlr. Flower has
showed HIS gratitude hy arnng aur political
enemies with the magazine rifles Uf patronage, and
wc are being shot down mcrceaSly hy the Hill
men"
This evening the Cleveland men are feeling so
discouraged that they say they will not contest
| the State with I'LL. What il the use ~

only subject ourselves 10 persecution If we
elect dclegat,s 10 the Democratic State Con
yeniion, we shall have our seats contested The

There may be few Cleveland votes here and
