Some 5 yeaIs Geo W.

inter 1T Davis How ''ttrell, md
as very ford of - ~. During
o4e of his bunting trips he found his
way ont to the farm of Mr.. Morde
Cal Seas, in Fi4hing Creek township,
and asked him permission to hunt on
his land aud The old gentleman re-
fused, His 500, j. NJ. sears, was
standing near by and interceded in
Mr.. Palmer : behalf, and soon gain
Ell consent To hnot on the land, The
huuter was naturally dr9 IN at on,e
to young Sears and took him along
as a companion for the day, and
parted as warm friends. MIR. Pal
ner hunted on the farm during tn
season segeral times. When tue
winter was over be left for his Bos-
ton home, and young Scare never re
celved any tidings from him until a
few days ago when be was notified

HILL OR CLEVELAND ?

Since The DEMOCRAT printed us
opinion last week that neither Hlii
nor Cleveland is the man Tor the
Democratic party to nominate lo'
President, We have been taken %
task A little bit for expressing such
opiniOns. II goes without saying,
Of course. that New York politicians
will hardly be turned from theIr
course by the utterances OF this
papeI; tut all the same we have
a right to express our opinion.
We are for the man who can
win-Cleveland, Hill, or any other
democrat. But We are of the strong
conviction that it will be poor policy
for the Democratic party to noml'
nate either OF these men as long a.
the bitterness and fractional tig ht
continues IN New York.
And ia this view we are not alone
We have never expressed a single
op.nion editorially because some
one else had thought or said TIE
same; but we have seen names o
many strong and Influential news
papers and politicians during the
NAT frW DAYS whose opinions 2Tt
lie those expressed by this paptl
week ago.
Senator Vance is reported a
| favOrIng German.
We are for the man who can win
| but we are very doubtful about The
chances of either Hill or CLEVELAND
if nominated.
