Every inteIligentperson in the length
and breadth Of the land fully under
stands that the convention was called
up at an unreasonable time in the ex-
pectation that when the machine had
placed New York apparently in the
Hill column the Democrats Of other
States would fallinto line, Hills nominal
ton would be assured. Every intelIi-
gent person knows also that the scheme
has miscarried, that the nomination Of
Hill after his barren victory at Albany
will stand as the most conspicuous
Presidential impossibility in the land.

His action in wishing TO give up bis

her family and herself from dirt, poverty
