De convinced that he has the people. All this
snow OF power is well enough in its way,
but the party OF the state has q very bitter
feud on It's hands. and the aggressive policy
OF MI. Hill has excited degree of opposition
which renders the vote of November uncer

for second place, would be certain TO carry
New York and the country. The Democrats
or the state, now divided into factions and
losing no opportunity to knife each other,
would unite on such ticket and carry the
banner TO undoubled victory.
The World SAYS: The February point in
this game of politics has been scored, as every
one foresaw that it would be if the early con-
venlon were persisted in. But what about
the far greater contest i'll June? Senator Hill
has delegation from one state. But there
are forty-three other states yet to be heard
from. ana even in two months from now the
real night Tor the nomination Will be hardly
begun. Senator Hill has secured delega-
ton in advance of the convention What
has he got? What will he do with it? 1t can
hardly be corralled and shipped to Chicago

though the haste with which it was
snapped up might suggest such a policy.
The delegates can scarcely be forbidden TO

are certain to happen during the next four
months. which will materially influence and
probably determine the choice of Demo
cratic candidate for president.

Mr.. Hill for the presidency is notion too alb
surd to be entertained for a moment. The
Democratic convention at Chicago will not
nominate Mr.. Hill. 1t conceivably may go
West for its candidate, or South, or to the
Pacific coast. If it comes East or to New
York. 1t will come for a man better known
and more respected than David B. Hill.
