WASHINGTON, D. g., Dec. eo.-The
Sar has this concerning the probable
attitude Of Senator Hill toward the
next administration:
',rhe open fight between the Hill
and Cleveland people over the New
York senatorship brings in close re.
view the interesting question OF what
the .relations between Cleveland and
, the New York senators will be during
sLue EeNt ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
aT'here is no doubt concerning Mr.
Hiilgsentiments about tile appearance
ofMf. Cleveland inthe senatorial fight
inNew York. There il liO talk OF the
placation OF Mr.. Hill. Whomsoever
else cleveland may placate, Hill will be
counted out Htlrs influence in the
senate Is very much greater than is gem
eraily believed, though 1t may NOT be
strong enough for q contention with tho
administration. Ina measure Hill has
taken the place OF. German In the sem
ate. All the friends that German lost
IA Chicago Hill gained, and this gives
him sufficient power III tho senate to
mako himself quite disagreeable to the
administration II he desires TO do SO.
Tho assumption, however. that he Is
going to put on q coat OF war paint5and
carry bowie knife in each boot and a
brace Of six.shootets in view does not
give sufficient credit to his discretion
and skill as q political wire.puller:
Notwithstanding the bitterness OF
feeling which ia provoked by the New
York senatorial fghtit may be depenas
ed upon that Mr.. Hill will not'appear
in the senateiin the attitude OF an open
opponent Of the administration, There
Is good reason for believing that Mr..
HIll will not only decline to pose as the
leader OF an opposition, but in spite OF
all the at1ronts hefeels have been put
on him heiwill support the administta-
ton in most matters. Where trouble
il looked for byit those who are skimmtng
over the surface isswith relation TO the
combinations. There ia q notion OF
some people that ii will mike Q fight
at every Opportunity. They are proha-
bly mistaken. Men who are pretty Ia
miliar with the situation who know Hill
very we'll believe that he will follow no
such line Of policy, but will approve
everything and every person passing
his test of Democracy. IL believed
that theonlv thing that Hill has in
view is to stand on guard to prevent
the preferment Of Mpgwumps. His
test Of party qualifications VIII not be
personal support for himself But ne
hates a Mugwump and every Democrat
in public life believes that the trss
Mugwump is nominated tor any
important Office will be fought tooth
and nail by him, and thathe will have
the secret assistance OF good many
men who will not dare to make an open
fight"
Bourke coclsranleft Washington this
morning for New York. It is generally
believed that he Is going. to enter for
thesenatorship against Murphy. Some
otthe Cleveland people have for some
days been trying to induce Mr.. Cochran
to permit the use Of his name and It is
believed thatJit had been arranged for
himto ente. the fight before Mr.. Cleve,
land came out in tho interview opposs
ing MIR. Murphy.
