This from the Toledo Bee is not a bad
surmise. Stranger things have hap
pened upon the political chessboard:
tits not at all certain that Senator Hill
desires the democratic nomination for
president this year, though appearances
indicate as much. Politics itself is fire.
Quently mysterious and this Hill business
is enthusiastically shrewd move on the
chess board Of politics. IL is very proba-
Die that Mr. Hill intends 70 be the power
behind the throne. IL looks very much
like big movement on the part OF several
leaders of practical politics TO 90 two
things-nOminRte a man they know Will be
elected and De in position TO command such
after-reSults as will perpetuate the demo-
cratic power for long time to come. II
this be true. Hill is not only shreWd poll
tician but a worthy and far-seeing democrat.
This is the way il looks now. Who the
candidate will be is entirely hidden at
present. More than likely If the nomina-
ton goes 10 New York il will be Whitney,
who was a business power in Cleveland'S
cabinet If western man be the choice,
look out for Boies Of Iowa. Big politics IS
on the carpet to-day.
Senator HILL is very astute as well as
very ambitious. May he not have seen ere
this that the fractional fight in his own
State between CLEvELAND's friends and
his own, has lost MIN the nomination
in '92, but by being the power behind
the throne, may insure it to him in '96?
The present row is not at an end. The
New York convention mist be held as
ordered, on the 29d inst. To postpone
it would not only make capital for
CLEVELAND, but ALLEVIATE Hills friends
who have stood by him through thick
and thin. Seeing there is to be no ces-
sation of the aggressive fight, the
Cleveland faction in New York will con-
tinue their clamor until its echoes re-
sound in every State in the Union.
There can be only one outcome from
such a state of things in New York.
Doubt Of both mems availability will
possess all the delegates to Chicago, and
as wise policy both will be turned
down and a new man sought. Whether
he will come from New York, Maryland,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa or some other
Western State remains TO be seen.

New YORK, February 1.-THE Sun
states that the Hon. Stephen b. Elkins
said TO friend here in New York that
President Harrison is q candidate for
denomination, and that the President
would be the choice of the Minneapolis
convention, aud furthermore, would be
reelected. This is the first authentic
announcement that the President Is
candidate for denomination, although
everybody was convinced OF 1t.
That the Secretary had sent such
letter was known at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last night, and there were various
comments devoted particularly TO the
prophetic decision of the letter. There
happened to be Republican United
States Senator at the hotel just as the
discussion over the Secretary's letter
was st an interesting height. Further
than to say it was not Senator Hiscock,
the sun is not at liberty just at the pres
ent moment to give his identity. He
bad no objection, though, to having his
sentiments printed. They were:
"As soon as the Presidents name Is
presented to the Minneapolis conven-
ton half dozen of the most brilliant
orators in the Republican party, west
of the Allegheny mountains, will take
turns in opposing his nomination. They
will assure the convention that the
President cannot be reelected. With
the South and the West arrayed against
the President, l cannot see why Mr..
Elkins has undertaken the contract
with which he seems to have burdened
himself"

DISTRICT pEMocRArIC LEAGUES.

The meeting to be held in Hunting

OF Democratic clubs for the Fourth dis
trict promises to be the success it should
be. Prominent Democrats of the State
are taking an active interest in the mat
ter, and it is probable that Senator
CARLISLE will be there TO help the thing
along.
This is promising. Every Democrat
in the State who can should be there, If
only to get pointers" on how to form
similar organizations in the other three
districts.
The Democracy has foe to con-
tend against that through or
organization, an early campaign and
almost unlimited money, is to-day
stronger in West Virginia than ever.
In these days of practical politics it is
organization and untiring effort that
win in elections.
With effective organization the De-
mocracy will win hands down. With
out il we run chances.
Let the leading Democrats OF the
First, Second and Third Districts get
together as they have in the Fourth and
boom the organization Of District Dem
ocratic Leagues. 1t would result in a
general State organization that would
be of great effectiveness and power in
the coming campaign.

GRADUATED INCOME TAX.
Congressman Wike, of Illinois, Heard by
the Ways and Means Committee.

the Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. February IT,
The Committee on Ways and Means to-
day devoted it's attention TO the princi--
pie OF an income tax as means OF
raising revenue in the event that the
reduction OF the tariff should ever
bring the revenues OF the country be-
low the legitimate expenses OF govern
ment.
A few days ago Representative Wike,
of Illinois, introduced series OF resoiu-
lions endorsing the income tax theory
and recommending legislation in that
direction by the Fifty-secOnd Congress.
These resolutions were referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means, and
that committee to-day accorded Mr..
Wike hearing in advocacy OF mis- reSo-
lutions.
In his argument Mr.. Wike urged the
committee to consider seriously and pro-
pose a plan 10 supplement any reduction
OF revenue that might follow reduc-
ton OF tariff duties to an extent that
might threaten Z depletion in the treas
ury.
Mr. Wike desired to impress upon the
committee the Importance OF not per-
hitting the necessities Of the treasury
to abate in the least particular their
efforts to reduce largely the tariff duties,
aud in order to remove the hindrance to
that end he earnestly urged the adop-
ton of the graduated income tax with
exemptions TO the extent Of $1,000.
To the suggestion of member that
the income tax was not an equal tax,
Mr.. Wike said the large exemption pro-
posed by his resolutions was for the
purpose Of eQuaizing the burdens of
taxation by making the gigantic for
tunes and the excessive and unnatural
accommodations Of trusts, corporations
and combinations Of the country bear a
portion OF it.
