WASHINGTON, d. c., December 29.-The
Star has this concerning the probable atti-
tude OF Senator Hill toward the next ad-
ministrauOn:
"The open fight between the Hill and
Cleveland people over the New York Sen
aIOrship brings in close review the inter
esting question Of what the relations be-
tween Cleveland and the New York Sena-
tors will be during the next administra-
ion.
There is no doubt concerning Mr.. Hill's
sentiments about the appearance of Mr.
Cleveland in the Senatorial fight in New
York. There is no talk of the placation Of
Mr.. Hill. WhOmever else Cleveland may
plscate Hill will De counted out. HIPS in-
dueuce in the Senate is very much greater
that is generally believed, though il may
be not strong enough for a contention with
The administration. In measure Hill has
taken the place Of German in the Senate.
All the friends that German lost in Chicago
Hill gained, and this gives him sufficient
power in the Senate TO make himself quite
iisagreeable 10 the administration If he
desires 20 do so. The assumption, how
ever, that he is going TO put on a coat of
war paint and carry bowie knife in each
boot and brace of six shooters in view
does not give sufficient credit TO his discre-
ton and skill as q political wire puller
which is provoked by the New York sena-
torial fight it may be depended upon that
Mr.. Hill will not appear in the Senate in
the attitude Of an open or bnent of the ad-
miniStration. There Is ID reason for be-
Aeving that Mr.. Hill wi lot only
DECLINE TO POSE AS TIE LEADER
of an opposition, but in spite Of all the af-
fronts be feels have been put on him, he
viii support the administration in most
matters. Where trouble is looked for by
those who skimming over the surface is
with relation to the combinations. There
is a notion Of some people that Hill will
make fight at every opportunity. They
are probably mistaken. Men who are
pretty familiar with the situation and
know Hill very well believe that he
viii follow no such line or pol
icy, but viii approve everything and
every person passing his test OF DemOcra-
cy IL is believed that the only thing that
Hill has In view is to stand guard 20 pre-
vent the preferment OF mugwumps. His
test Of party qualifications will not be per-
sonal support OF himself. But be hates a
and every Democrat in public
life believes that the first mugwumO who
is nominated for any important once will
be fought tooth and nail Oy him, and that
he will have the secret assistance Of good
7any men who will not dare to make an
zen fight"
fBOurks Cochran left Washington this
forming for New York. 1t is generally be-
eyed that no is going 10 enter for the SEN
dtOrship against Murphy Some Of the
people have for some days been
trying 70 induce Mr. Cochran 70 permit the |
use OF his name, and 1t IS believed that IL |
had been arranged for him 70 enter the |
fight before Mr.. Cleveland came out ia the /
interview opposing MIR. Murphy.
