fuence the New York legislature VIII be
Democratic on Joint ballot for the next
twenty years or more. II Hill is elected
president, and he is dead certain to be If
he is nominated, a Democrat will succeed
him in the United States senate. and a
Democrat will likewise succeed the present
Republican senator, Hiscock, whose term
expires next March. 1t is senseless to say
that weak or corrupt man can hold the
undivided confidence of meE like Governor.
Flower, Chairman Murphy of the state
executive committee. Gen. Daniel Sickles
and Gen. Slocum, all lifelong Democrats
and time tried patriots, delegates at large
to the Chicago national convention from
New York state and warm supporters of
Senator Hill for the presidency German
or Hill as president and our party viii be
strengthened in every precinct It would
be next TO impossible for the Republicans
to prevent Democratic succession. They
are both wise and good men and strong
with the people and winners in every
emergency. Governor Hill can carry New
York with a great deal more ease than
Cleveland can carry North Carolina. It
is really believed by many North Carolina
Democrats with whom l met that Cleve-
land cannot carry that state. Hill can
carry every doubtful state and he would
no more veto free coinage Of silver bill
than he would approve a force bill. Cleye-
lands unpopnlarity with the Democratic
congressman is not any more on account of
his opposition to free coinage than because
of his well-known sickening regard for the
political situation of the negro. While
president it is said of him that he would re-
ceive Fred Douglass, buriy mulatto him
self, with his black negro daughter on one
arm and his white wife on the other with
all the gusto and social tomfoolery he
would or could bestow upon the most dis
'tingnished white family in the land. Con-
trast this treatment of Fred Douglass and
his musty family with his refusal to permit
his wife to visit Richmond with him on
noted occasion for fear it might become
necessary for cher to meet and
shake hands with the fair daughter Of the
Southern Confederacy and it makes mems
souls weaken. He conferred the highest
paying ONCE in his gift as president on an
insolent and bigoted muewump negro from
Boston and played the contemplate role of
lobbyist with Southern Democratic senators
to secure the confirmation Of his negro ap-
pointee. Mr.. Cleveland is understood to
be extremely fond of Wall street and IT'S
political methods, while his DISTINGUISHED
adversary, Governor Hill, has courageously
denounced this same Wall street and its
methods. The E. Ellery Anderson, Cleve-
land contingent, have opened and TODAY
headquarters for political pur-
poses at No. 10 Wall street, while his New
Jersey enthusiasts have left their own state
and established headquarters at No. IS Wall
street. This course on the part of his fol-
lowers is inexplicable. except we accept
the theory that on Wall street they find a
more congenial atmosphere and the para
phernala and equipments for campaign
Ing'' on higher principles are in the best
Of order"
Although Mr.. Irnboden is a clerk without |
a master, he is by no means a statesman
out of job. He still owns the Cherokee |
Herald, which recently hyphenated with |
The Standard. He will take charge of the |
paper and make it hum for |
Hogg and the commission.
