SOME PEOPLE comp plain that Senaror hill
has spent mole time In Albany than In
Washington since Ocngress commenced
We'll. suppose he has, what of 1t !? His par
t7 certainly has net needed his assistance In
Washington. But by being 10 Albany he
has redeemed New York FROM republican
rule, secured democratic majority Ia beth
branches OF her Legislature, and thereby has
enabled her democrats to elect successor
to Senator Hlaoock, and, what's more, hss
given the dem crats Presidential nominee
who will carry By large majority tee
