THO MADE HILL POSSIBLEi

There would seem to be ground for the Sis
picion that 1.-THE Evening POST does not Ike
the Democratic champion, Senator Hill. For IL
recies on it's editorial page a few OF his FRAUDS
and illegalities" and remarks:
II will be seen that they include not only common
cheating a. practiscd among burglars ard commence
men, but Evolutionary defiance OF the courts ana
Illustration OF their lawful orders by inc ""Nei"' vi
n. s,ote sworn TO execute the laws faithfully. All
this though very extraordnafy-fo such reckless a
nm scrupulous men hc do not often reach inc shcs
rl.cas in f-eA countrics-l. not alarming. what II
alarming and astonishing is the READINGS OF portion
Of the Democratic party la tlls STATE 10 uc'' '' no

long sought for Moses who is To show inc pt"o'"',
tho way TO the promised land. They are actually
getting laurel wrcaths ready for brow that pO"'pS
hoe NOT for ,e,rs sheltered one honest thought or pat
otto purpose.
But the palpabe fact is that Hill has been the
Moses who has successfully led the Democracy
Of New-York into tho only promised lana ior
which they care a tinbcr's blessing. namely the
offices. lie has not done all this alone. lie has
had such aid as could be- given by q" The Evening
Post" and sundry other newspapers 10 daIhage
tbc only party that could prevent tho complete
triumph Of Hill and llilliSm, and While these
NEWSPAPERS have usually spent traction oil "h'
dav out of three hundred in formally ahathc-
matizing Hill, they have labored to the best OF
their ability the remaining two hundred aho
ninety-nne days to make Hill and his associate
rascals victorious. But 1.-THE Evening Port

The painful part Of this arrangement is Is
truth. The procession Of cheats ana jhIeNe' I'
joyoilsly moving on. and has alr1idy maze >"'h
nrocrcss that il does not consider II worth Whilc
any longer 10 regard the conScienccs or the OpIn-
ion, Of the newspapers and voters VINO nave
aided them thus far in the sacred name oil re-
form. They can now play the ROgueS March,
these offended and hyperdecatc newspapers OF
any other tune they like, without impeding IN
the least the progress Of the Democratic cham
zion. who has shown how the methods OF MIS-
| sissipp and Louisiana can be substituted Tor the
votes Of the people in New-lork.
Hill is the chosen fayorite Of his party IN this
State. That party has been helped to GET con-
| troll Of New-YOrk by so-callcd rcformerS, who
have known every day and hour what pro
ce.son Of cheats and thieves they were help
ing. Now they are getting disguised, and turn
| I'D their noses at the unsavory company they
have chosen, but the rest of the world wonders
| that the unsavory Odor was not too much TOR
| their nostris some years ago.
| Hill is not unlikely 10 he the chosen can
| didate of the Democratic party in the next Ma
| tiona contest. No other name is greeted with
| ANYTHING like as much enthusiasm and gratitude
| by Democrats in most parts Of the country, a.
that Of the leader Of a procession of cheats and
| thieves who has stolen Ncw-York for the Demo
cratic party. When the time comes to nom
mate that party will be apt 10 prefer man
| who has proved that he can steal n great state
| If it nomnacs Hill he will proceed TO reap and
| garner the benefit Of all the work done during
eight or ten years past by SundIy Reform news
| papers and wformelS TO weaken aud destroy the
only larty by which yOie-Steang Democracy
| can be resisted.
