That Senator David b. Hill Is not alto
gether satisfied with the work OF his
Harmony cohort may be gathered from
the statement that he was not this
morning in so good a humor as he APP
peared yesterday.
His attention had been called to
two-column editorial In the Brooklyn
Eagle of the date of yesterday, practi-
cally demanding of him that he decline
the nomination. so shat the State Com
mittee could offer the nomination to JUS
tice William j Gaynor. The editorial
was uncomplimentary in tone to the
Senator, and Mandatory of Justice Gay
nor.
The editor of the paper is very close
to Justice GaynOr and to Edward NJ.
Shepard, and in view of the advances
and offers the Senator has made through
his agents to MIR. Shepard, he is said to
feel that the latter might have at least
prevented so deliberate an insult.
1t is stated on pretty good authority
that when Mr.. Hill came to town on
his mission of harmony he sent to Mr..
Shepard to know what could be done
to heal the differences between the
! ldlteI anu tne IlldCHlne managers.
He offered to see to 1t that the Shep-
ardites should nave representation on
the State Committee. that was refused.
He then offered to use his influence to
secure a division of the local offices in
which the Shepardites should share. This
offer was also refused.
The Senator then instructed his agents
to say to Mr.. Shepard that his stand in
favor of IA third ticket indicated that
nothing would suit him but the privilege
of naming the Democratic candidate for
Governor, and that Mr.. Hill was willing
to decline the nomination and let the
Ants select the candidate, i by SC
MIR. Shepard didn't accept this either
He may have thought the Senator made
the offer as fine piece OF sarcasm, hui
Hill made 1t in good faith:
Then what did MIR. Shepard want
Nothing-that is, nothing but fight. a.

this last offer of Mr.. Hill caused tn,
talk that he intended TO decline tn,
nomination in favor of Justice Gaynor.
