Hill will have the New York delegation.
His remarkable ability as q public man
and political organizer, together Win
his sound and sterling Oemo-
cracy. untiring energy and un-
finching courage, have unmis-
takably marked him as q man whom
the Democratic party can trust. his
recent triumph in securing a majority
In both branches Of the Legislature OF
New York has secured for the State
proper representation Of the majority
of the people, not only in its Legisla-
ture, but in both branches OF the Uni
ted States Congress, and assured Tor
Democratic State, Democratic United
States Senators for years to come.
Probably nothing has tended to advance
his interests as Presidential candidate
so much as his accomplishment OF these
important results. Believing this, as
far as am individually concerned, DO
not care to look further for candidate.
~ am not prepared to express an
opinion as 10 what the Democracy OF
West Virginia will do, but as we all
agree that the important thing Is to
have a Democratic candidate, / believe
they will conclude by che time the con-
yentlon meets that Hill is the man Tor
the occasion.
"As TO results in this State, we
will allow our Republican friendS 10
carry the State before the election ana
as usual carry IL ourselves on election
day. The new election law will add
several thousand to our majority. II
the State Committee will 60 to work
and secure such an organization OF our
party as 1t should, the majority will be
large enough to dispel all hopes OF max
ing this a Republican State and cen
vince the administration at Washington
that it will have TO seek another locall-
ty TO influence the political action OF
the people by governmental aspoint-
ments."
HON. W. Il. THOMPSON.
"In my section Of the State the cam
paign is exceptionally slow in opening.
In fact the people have all been busy
and paid little attention to politics as
yet, but they can be depended upon at
the proper time. Among the more aos-
i've there seems to be decided sentl-
ment I'm favor OF Cleveland for Presiden-
tlal nominee, but in my intercourse with
the politicians, l find that Hill is
thought by many to be the stronger
man."
As he hurried away to his train, Mr..
Thompson said with smile, lyon
know | am looking after my own fences
in the Congressional race in the THIRD
district"
GENERAL b. A. oXLEY.
"I am confident that very large
majority OF the Democrts OF West Nlr-
glnia and the entire country are in
favor of Cleveland as the nominee for
President, Notwithstanding that n
strong effort is being made to divert tho
current of the tide in other directions.
Tariff reform is the only issue upon
which we may hope TO succeed, and
Cleveland is regarded as the embodi-
ment of this issue. To refuse TO NOM
mat him woulu be regarded as deser-
tIon OF the principles for which we
fought in 1888.
"With a thorough organization OF
our party and a full discussion OF the
issues involved in the coming campaign,
and strong State ticket, we will be
able to carry the State by large ma
jority. But we must not underestimate
the extent OF the efforts which the Re-
publicans, under the leadership OF Mr.
Elkins, will put forth"
