The row in the New Ork Democracy
over the snap convention called by Boss
Hill and his henchmen is becoming eX-
ceedingly bitter, Other party papers
are taking it up and it is now becoming
evident that the Hill crowd have made a
big blunder. They are discovering
the fact that thinking people and
honest people like to see fairness in
politics as well as elsewhere. The Dem
ocratic press all over the country are
denouncing this latest act OF Hill in a
way that bids fair to nip his presidential
aspirations in the bud. The Manchester
IN. H. Union expresses the gen
ersl party sentiment in the fol
owing language: Senator Hill has
made mistake. The well nigh unani-
nous expression Of opinion by the Dem
ocratic press Of the country proves this.
Democrats like to see fair play, and a
free ne out mid winter convention is not
to their liking. The sooner Senator
Hill can get that mistake corrected
the better it will te for his party
and for him. The committee that deter
mined that untimely call was together
less than half an hour. There was no
discussion of the step. 1t gave no rea-
son for its unusual action. 1t simply
carried out a predetermined purpose,
and everybody knows whose purpose
it was. The Dissatisfaction is wide
spread and strong. Already it
has taken shape in movement
to hold another convention and send a
rival delegation to Chicago. That means
open division in the Democratic party in
the state Of New York. 1t means calam-
ity to the Democratic party. Senator
Hill can avert it II he will by word,
lie boasts that he is Democrat. Will
he do il;

A BAD INDICATION.

A late press dispatch says; "Mr.
Cleveland remained at home during
the day He is anxious to see every
body who calls on him. At the same
time the pressure for office is such
that he shows signs Of losing temper
He does not lack what friends call
eternal push-push-push. ~
One never grows so old or so wise
that he can not learn something, and
Mr., Cleveland is no exception to the
rule. "Turn the rascals out" is the
imperative command Of the people,
and if he goes to dilly-dallying as he
did when President before, the people
will rise up IN their Indignation, as in
a national mass meeting, and con
demn him. The offices must be filed
by Democrats, and there is no use in
his closing temper or hesilatug
