New York, October 19.-CSpecial)-Th
political situation in New York has never
been more mixed than at present. Every
thing is In doubt, ana there is no. telling

taken as a criterion.
Hin Working Hard.
Senator Hill is making the most active
canvass that he has ever made in any OF
MS numerous contests in the state. He
realizes the fact that he has uphill work
and if the state is lost il viii not be
through any fault OF his. Senator Hill is a
poor man. He has been in public life in
New York fer great many years, and he |
Is as poor today when he first took pub |
lie Office. His opponent Mr.. Morton is a |
man OF immense wealth, being many times |
millionaire. Not oniy that, but he has |
the reputation of an exceedingly liberal |
eiVer for campaign purposes, more eape- |
clally when he is at the head of the ticket. |
everybody knows that this is why Morton /

campaign purposes. Morton cannot speak |

To add TO the democratic embarra ssnent,
there is a bad split in the party in New
York city. The Old anti-snapper element
which took the field against EIilI after he
swept the state convention by storm two
years ago i'm the contest for the presiden-
t&i nomination has reorganized and is in
Tor bloody work. AT it's head is Charles s.

democrats are not only doing everything
IN their power TO defeat Hill, bat to defeat
the democratic congressional candidates in |
New York city That they may make
their power felt. not by the success of their
own candidates, b1t by the defeat of the
candidates OF the regular democracy they
have put up dummy" democrats in all the
congressional districts in New York city,
ana threaten to 10 the same thing in four
districts in Kings county. The democratic
nominations were made week ten days
ago, and within the last few days the

party is in great danger of losing che dem lem,

activity of the Farchild boilers.
what lis the .animus:
The true democrats of the state are at d
loss 10 understand the animus OF the anu
snapper game in their mad effort 10 crush
tba democratic party in New York. They
,ra working now Just on the same lines as
they aid two years ago when they bolted
tba New York state convention and sent
Cleveland contesting delegation to the chi
cage convention.
AZ the recent stat" convention at sara
