THE PRESS ON HILL.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY ABOUT
THAT SNAP CONVENTION,
The Tricky Boss Has Oyeriesped
Himself and the Country viii not
submit-Even the selection OF
washipgton's Birthday Won't
Help Him,

Following are some newspaper ex-
pressions clipped from the New York
World bearing on the action of Hill
and his Tammany machine in calling
the New York state convention TO
meet on the 22nd of February:
1t is q pretty scheme, but too trans
parent to fool the Democrats OF the
country.-Milwaukee Journal.
Hill has done serious hurt to his
cause. The people of New York must
see that he does not do graver hurt
to the Democratic arty.-Boston
Post.
The Young Mems Democratic Club
of Brooklyn, very powerful organiza.
ton, has adopted resolutions protest
ing against the action of Gov. Hills
New York State Committee in calling
an early convention. The resolutions
unquestionably voice the sentiments
of the great body of Democratic vot.
ers throughout New York.-Indisnap-
oils Sentinel.
Hill has altogether overreached him.
self in attempting to deprive her peo-
pie of the opportunity for fair repre-
sentation in the coming convention,
the state is much more likely to
vote against him if he becomes his
party's nominee for the presidency
than it would be to vote against Cleve-
land in the same place.-Boston
Herald.
Senator Hill has complete control
in New York. But outside of New
York he has the people to fear. The
whole west is against him, and its
dislike will be intensified by the sharp
practice that he has authorized in
70 org a midwinter convention in
New York.-Chicsgo News.
Senator Hill is evidently determed
to make hay while the sun shines and
have Hill delegates chosen to the
Chicago convention while he has firm
hold on the machine. He may in this
way be able to kill off Cleveland, but
he will not by any means make his
own calling and election sure.-Rich-
mond Times.
The machine has found it to the
interest of Mr.. Hill to make this out.
rageous change from the time-honor-
ed date, and to attempt to cover the
atrocity has selected Washington's
Birthday. 1t is about the silliest bit
of buncombe ever attempted. 1t in
no sense represents the Democratic
party sentiment of this country, which
is opposed to star-chamber job meth
ds.-Richmond State.
Last Monday the New York
World, which has been one of Hills
most enthusiastic supporters, warned
him in its leading editorial that it
would be dangerous to try the game
of taking snap jud gment in his own
State, We think Senator Hills
vaulting ambition has overleaped
itself this time. Fair.minded Demo-
Gratis, whatever their Presidential
preferences may be, will not approve
the game that is being played in New
York. 1t will be denounced by the
Democratic press from one end Of the
country to the other.-Atlanta Jour
nal.
Doubtless Senator Hill thinks that
if he can get the New York delegation
he will stand an excellent chance of
getting the delegations of several
other states. But 1t is doubtful if
any of the other states will be infu-
enced by the action Of New York.
They will understand that if Hill
delegation is chosen in that state it
will be by machine methods, and their
tendency will be to resent so palpable
an effort to control the national con-
vention by such methods.-Savannah
News.
Such Democratic organs as the
New York World and the Albany
Argus have protested, but in vain
against the policy of rushing the state
convention through at an unprece-
dented time. Hill has control of the
machine, and is resolved to strike
while the iron is hot. OF course this
action insures a solid New York dele
cation for Hill to the Chicago conven-
ton, but the moral effect of it is ex-
tremely bad, and must react against
the candidate of snap caucus and
packed convention.-The Epoch.
