WASHINGTON, Oct l, 1894.
Senator Hills nomination for governor
OF New York is still the leading topic Of |
conversation among democrats. While
there are few who for personal reasons
TO not like the nomination, your CORES
pondent has not discovered single demo-
crat who doubts his election. There is
something about the record of the man that |
inspires the rank and 6le Of the party with |
the enthusiasm that wins. And this is not
confined to his own state. as shown by the |
following communication from the presi-
een. of Young Mems Democratic Club |
in Indiana: "Iadiana is enthusiastic |
sincs David Hill was nominated We
feel that the fa have come together |
in New York, which can only result in the
triumph OF oor party" The orinion Of
Senator Mitchell, of Wis now in Wash
ington, Is another indication of the way
the nomination was received in other
states. He says; at Is the strongest
nomination that could have been made
and it will have stimulating effect al
through the country. While there are
rumblings of discomfort from some of the
anti-Hill factions, they will come around,
and have no doubt be can carry the
state" Senator Mltehell's experience as
chairman of the Democratic Congressiona
campaign committee during the last cam
pa'gn adds weight 10 his opinion.

libsrately wiIlfui, have been made con-
