Hill, who was only a short time
ago in danger of being publicly |
read out of the democratic party |
by his fellow democratic Senators
because of his opposition to the
tariff bill. the leader of the demo
cratic party. His nomination has
already proved decidedly cmhar-
RAISING to the managers of the dem
ocratic Congressional campaign.
They have been sending out litera-
ture in defense of the tariff
bill, and especially the in
come tax bill clause of it, and
here is Hill, who voted against the
tariff bill, nominated for Governor
of the great state of New York, on
platform that specifically con-
demns the income tax. They don't
know what to do. If they shou
for Hill they offend Mr.. Cleveland,
who will control the Federal pat
ronage until March 4, 1897, and if
they don't they offend Hill, who
may be the democratic nominee
for the Presidency two years hence.
The republicans, while conceding
the truth of Dan. Lamont'S S com
ment, that ''Hill is vote-getter,"
are pleased with the nomination,
because they are confident that it
Will result in the election of Mr..
Norton and in making the elec-
toral vote of New York certain for
the republican nominees in 1896.
They fully agree with the admins
tration men in believing that HIPS S
nomination was put up job, and
that its author was David B.
Hill, but they think =the admins
tration ought to be glad of it, as
| Hill Will be defeated and thus
eliminated as a factor in national
politics. The administration men
would be glad enough for the op-
portunlty to assist in the eliminat-
ing process We're it not for their
knowledge that if New York elects
a republican Governor this year it
will almost certainly 90 republi-
can in the Presidential election.
About the smallest piece OF
political work ever done by any
administration was the resumption
in small way of the coinage OF
silver dollars, in order that the
coins might be used by stump
speakers and personal workers
among the more ignorant voters OF
the south and west, to convince
them that the Cleveland admins,
tration was so friendly to silver
that it was still coming silver dol
lars. OF course this little trick
will not fool Intelligent. newspaper
readers, who know that Mr.. Cleye
land is the most bitter opponent o
silver who ever sat in the Presi
dents chair, but from information
received here these few 1894 silver
dollars are fooling some voters
However, they are mostly in sec
tions where the populists, not re
publicans, are injured. Still it i.
a piece of dirty work.
