When we consider that there are more

supporter. but Mr.. Cleveland. with all his
rugged backbone, does not approach Mr..
| Hill as leader OF his party. HIPS policy
Is that of his party, and he has never yet
failed TO record the will OF his party III the
strictest Jacksonian terms so far as lay IN
his power. Ii is that quality that has made
Mr.. Harrison such ready choice for a r..
nomination with his party. Mr.. Hill car
carry New YORK, and he can be elected il
nominated, for he is born political lead.
