HILL COMES TOS1AY.
A Man Who Was Never Known
to Give Up Anything He
Gets His Hands On.
HIS CHANCE TO AID BOIES.
He Is Not Considered Likely to Even
Think of Accepting.
TWO BOOMS A GREAT DEAL ALIKE.

the New York Cockney delusion, that
sooner or later everybody must come to
New York. His argument is, 81 have car

than Cleveland, had all Mugwumpery op

and every time L increased nv majority.
Refuse to nominate me and will give you
Cleveland and you will lose New York. !"
On the other hand is belief that Hill
cannot carry any of the doubtful Western
States-that he might not even carry In
diana, and that his nomination would drive
over TO Harrison the whole business class in
New York. Hill, by throwing the vote of
New York State for Boies, could get eternal
gratitude in the West and have majestic
influence over Boies' administration; but it
is probable that he does not know enough.
An Example Worth Remembering.
If the testimony of the Minneapolis Con-
vention has no influence upon these minor
candidates they would not believe though
the rocks and stones should rise up and
speak to them.
Mr.. Horsev, of Maryland, said to me four
weeks ago: ''Did you ever see such fatuity?
The German men firmly believe that they
can nominate him." Mr.. German, how
ever, said to me two months earlier than
that: "My Senatorial friends saw to me:
st doesn't do you a bit of harm to be talked
about for the Presidency and he laughed
am told that in Gorman's delegation,
though he made it up himself, are several
men who covertly want Cleveland. The
unit rule, however, works in the Demo-
cratic party now Just as it did in the Re-
publican party under Conkling.
Robert Curtis, OF California. said to me:
81 suppose there are four or five anti -Cleve-
land men in the California delegation. but
the unit rule will force, them up to the
scratch. So it is with Maryland, so with
PENNSYLVANIA, and in New York the unit |
rule not only compels the delegation to stand
by Hill as long as he wants to stand or un-
til he is beaten, but it allows a majority of
the delegation to vote it for any other per- |
son than Mr.. Cleveland.
And who made this unit rule? Who but |
MIR. Cleveland himself, through Manning, |
in the convention of 1884? Who does not |
remember the struggle of Tammany and /
some of the country delegates to be allowed |
TO vote independently, and how, with folded |
arms, Mr.. Manning set Fellows on to ad-
dress the convention, which forthwith dis
ciplined Tammany Hall, saving in effect: |
'Ye spalpeens, take your orders"
Hills Chance to Become a Warwick
And now Mr.. Hill could be a Warwick,
if he would remember that Warwick never |

to the West and say: 'My young braves,

cratic party, we welcome enlistments and |
converts. The same flag I have carried in |
New York, of resistance to sumptuary laws
has made Governor Boies my imitator in
Iowa BY nominating him, my platform
will be triumphantly vindicated.
But there are other things than mag
nanimity and generalship in politics Rich
men want Presidential nominations. In
New York, Chicago, and some few other
quarters in this country, man with Sc, 000,-
600 is as obscure as if he lived in a cellar,
unless he has something else than the
money can illustrate. The Presidency has
been matter endeavored to be sold for a
good many years past, or since our material
prosperity, transportation, communications,
sacrifice of raw material, ETC., have made
the first million irresistible to make millions |
more.
In 1SS0'S4 the rich men before the
convention required the fingers of both
hands to count them. We had Payne, jew

Ii one cannot 60 and confer the Presi-
dency upon a plain Westener, he can get
some credit at home by sustaining some
body there whose humble bee is louder than
q fog horn.
Something Worth More Than Money.
Politicians are learning that there is a
great thing called fame and public infu-
ence, which is worth all the millions of all
the rich candidates put together; that it is
not made by de1terity nor by a single
victory, but is the growth of years; that one
supreme victory is requisite to give knight
hood, and Cleveland stands Just there Un-
like these Bourbons who are talking about
not voting for Republican OF 1880, Cleve-
land threw himself upon the Republican
press, and instead of crying 81 am Demo-
crat, he said: Most of my life has been
passed reproving Democrats. L vetoed
their corrupt bills in the Buffalo Councils:
l welcomed new ideas, L thought civil SER
vice reform was good Democracy, and be-
lieved that the purer we could make the
ballot the better chance we would have
against wealth, prestige and prejudice"
He reached the Presidency, and every
day for four years had a grand advertise
ment, dixie the rising of the sun. An undo
mestic creature before, he took, like Boaz,
his ward to wife, and maidenhood and
beauty set all the young women to smiling
1t became fashionable in the Democratic
party to marry. Since he has gone out of
office he has proved that baby in the
house is well-spring of pleasure. He has
handled himself well in his speeches, going
dangerously near too many of them, but

When Harrison went over to New York, |
on the centennial occasion, and trusted to |
saying something on his legs without fore
thought, Cleveland was ready for him with
3 magnificent passage from the old sermons, |
and l0r II months after that the name of
Harrison was never mentioned in the New
York Normal School.
