DAVID 3. Hill Foa GOVERNOR.
The New York Democracy Want Him for
Governor Once More.

Governor Once More.
The nomination of Senator ID. b. Hill
for Governor of New York by the Demo-
Gratis of that State was no surprise, hut
that he should be induced to accept the
nomination astonished every one. No
one dreamed that Senator Hill would ac-
cept it.
Secretary Herbert, when informed of
the conventions choice, threw himself
back in his chair, and, after silently
thinking over the news, said slowly but
emphatically: at is a strong ticket and
seems adapted to sink the sectional diff
ferences that have vexed the Democratic
party in New York. | think it would
win"
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy Nc
Adoo, of New Jersey, an ex.member of
Congress, said: "With united action in
New York that ticket ought to be elected.
The ticket is well balanced, geographic
cally and otherwise"
Representative Tarnsey of Missouri,
said: "Mr. Hills nomination is an ex-
ceptionally strong one. Mr. Hill is Il
man of rare political sagacty. He would
not take a nomination if he were to be
sacrificed. His willingness to accept the
leadership of the New York Democracy
this year is, in my opinion, the most con-
vincing proof yet advanced that the Dem
ocrats will carry the State His election
will make him big factor in the next
presidential fight"
The intimate friends of Mr.. Whitney
knew that he would not, under any cir
cumstances accept, and the talk of Sena'
tor Hill was regarded as idle. His ac-
ceptance proves him to be entirely unset
fish and patriotic Democrat who is will
ing to make great sacrifice to lead what
now appears to be forlorn hope for his
party. Many will say that he has ac-
cepted with view of running for Presi-
dent in 1896. The Democrats of the
West and South are now nearly of one
mind on the tariff and financial ques-
tions, which are in direct conflict with
the Eastern idea. Of course, if Mr.. Hill
should carry New York this year with
the tide deep, swift and strong against
the Democratic party, he would prove
that he is perhaps the only man who
could carry New York two years hence,
and as last desperate and only resort
might be nominated.
There is no doubt that Senator Hill,
more than any other Democrat, can get
out the vote of all true and loyal Demo
Gratis in New York State. He is strong
with the "boys in the trenches" and the
old mosabacks in the fields. Tammany
Hall will make the fight of its life for
Hill. Boss Platt will not be able to steer
one of the tiger boys for Morton, and the
Kings county Democrats will die in the
last ditch for the New York Senator, to
say nothing of the "Old Guard" all over
the State That he will be bitterly fought
by the mugwump press and some of Mr..
Cleveands friends there is no doubt but
with all this there is one thing sure, and
that is that if Democrat like David B.
Hill cannot be elected Governor of New
York next November, there is not a
Democrat in the State who could. He
has got the fighters in the State on his
side, and they will fight for him with an
energy and enthusiasm only seen in a
political contest when party knows that
the odds are against it, but that victory
under the circumstances would be glo
rious triumph.
