vorite-Many Assembly Districts Declare
for Hill and Pass Red-Hot Resolutions
New York, February 9-[Special. 1.-The
democracy of the state Of New York is falling
enthusiastically in line for Hill, and nc is
sweeping everything.
It is plain from the resolutions passed and
the delegates selected SO far that the state con-
vention will be substantially unanimous for
Senator Hill for president, and that the dele
gates will be of his choice. 1t will hardly be
necessary for him to have unit rule adopted
to secure for himself the unanimous vote OF
the seyenty-two delegates to the national con-
yention from Now York. The only county
convention of the nine already held that is
hostile to Senator Hill is the Essex county con-
vention, where Smith NJ. Weed controlled
Mr. Weed has been unfriendly to Mr. Hill
ever since Mr.. Hill was chosen senator. That
is the only opposition, outside OF Albany and
Genesee counties, that has developed within
the party organization.
County convention after county convention
has passed resolutions endorsing Senator Hill
for president, and instructing their delegates
at the state convention to act for him. Inc
expression is practically unanimous. The big
counties of New York, Kings and Erie have
not as yet held their primaries. but they are
has the democratic organization throughout
the state been SO unanimous. Thirty-one OF
the thirty-four congress districts are for hui.
The interest being taken is greater than
has been known in many years. The
state of New York is divided into 1913
assembly districts Each assembly district
select: three delegates to the state convention,
making 3S4 delegates when in convention
assembled.

Ontario's Resolutions.
Tn Ontario county the enthusiasm for Sena-
tor Hill was unbounded. The mention of his
name was the signal for repeated outbursts OF
applause, and great was the enthusiasm
that the following resolutions Werc unall-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The democracy of Ontario comfy, IN
convention assembled, believing that success IN
the coming presidential campaign can only DC
attained Nv tile nomination of statesman who
has repeatedly demonstrated his ability TO carry
the state of New York. and recognizing IN the per,
sonality of David &. Hill a leader of unbemished
character, of strict honor, of unequacd capacity
and unquestoned democracy, one, who, during
his years tern as mas an1 ea as sa
iinal triumph rescued both branches Of the legis-
ture, thereby intrenching the democracy III ao-
soute control of the state; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the delegates selected to repre-
sent Ontario county at the state convention be,
and are hereby, instructed to vote only for such
delegates to the national convention ds snail be
pledged to the support of the candidacy or SEN
ator David Il. Hill for the nomination for pres
ident.
viii Reward Faithful Servant.
The popularity of Senator Hill is strong.
His services to the state have been so great,
his democracy so unqueStioned, that 1t IS be-
leved that The party will stick to the sound
doctrine Of its name, and not for an instant 40
aught to embarrass the great political leader
of the day, whose proudest boast is that he Is
democrat
The Cleveland followers and the mug
wumps have such Il small share of the popular
favor that their influence will have no ma
terial bearing upon the outcome of the selec-
ton of a solid Hill delegation. The interest
being taken in the interior OF the state is In
dicatve of the popular feeling.
Oswego county has just elected solid Hill
delegation and adopted resolutions eulogistlc
OF Senator Hill.
Hill Still Gaining.
ALBANY, n. Y, February 11.-[special] J.
Reports from the democratic county conven-
tions are now coming forward rapidly, and are
most favorable to Senator Hill for president.
Out of fifty-one delegates already chosen forty
eight are pledged to David B. Hill, while the
other three may be counted as favorable to
him. Reports from all over the state are OF
most encouraging nature.
\ Ringing Endorsement.
AT the Allegheny county convention. held
yesterday, tho following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, A leader under whose guidance seven
successive annual victories have been won i'll the
greatest state OF the union; a leader under whose
counsels a legislature was elected which chose
democratic United States senator. the first In six
teen years; leader through those advice the
democracy have elected both bra inches of the leg
islature and the executive, and has made 1t posi-
BILE tor the democracy to be fairly represented in
the legislature, practically demonstrates the abil-
ity to wisely and safely lead in the future, as he
has in the past. Such a one Is found in David T.
Hill, and we again affirm our implicit conf,
dence in his leadership and know that he Will lead
us to victory; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the democratic convention of
the county of Allegheny demands of its delegates
that they shall DO all within their power to effect
the nomination of David B. Hill to the Office of
president of the United States, and that we urge
the delegates chosen from the state of New York
standard-bearer who has known no defeat
Whereas, 1t appears that certain parties have
seen tit to crlticse the action OF the dehlocrauc
state committee in calling an early democratic
state convention; therefore be it
Resolved That the democrats in convention as
sembled of the county of Allegheny consider such
criticism unjust, and that we fully approve the
action of the state committee in calling such con-
yention.
The Great Leader.
Hill shows his great capacity and ability as
leader by the manner in which no organizes
and directs all movements, in each instance
fighting the issue squarely, and becomes vic
tor because of superior ability. There is but
very little room for doubt but that of tho 3S4
delegates to be chosen to the convention, more
than three hundred will be for Hill.
The Cleveland forces are disorganized and
seem to be dismayed as the expression OF the
popular favor becomes more manifest.
Still Electing Hill Delegates.
ALBANY, N. Y, February 12.-[Special. J.
But few conventions were held today.
Lewis county having but one district, has
chosen it's three Hill delegates. In West
chester county, first district, three Hill men
were chosen. Madison county will be repre-
sented by three Hill delegates. Monroe
country also sends Hill delegates from the
third district. Thus it will be seen that but
four district conven tons were held, each
electing Hill delegates, twelve in all.

That is the Ticket Which Harrison and His
Friends Fear.
