good bait for sudgeons.
This is not the first occasion when senator
Hill has displayed his activity and resources rs
q political manager Preoccuped with intrigue
and Diplomacy rs he is to-day, he was even
busler during the winter of 1891 when he EN-
ploycd all his official functions aS Governor of
the State and all his talents as Il political man
accr in accomplishing the theft of Senate 10
which thc people had elected eighteen RepuD-
leans and fourteen Democrats.
Those were the days when he set all me Ha

enabling the Democracy To obtain absolute con
troll OF the Legislature.
David B. Hill "bedcvilcd the whole conSpir
acy." as THE Brooklyn Eagle has t"rScIy
summed up the case. As Governor of the State
he employed his power Of removal and appoint
ment Of county clerks and his privilege OF trans
fcrring justices from one district 10 another in
order 10 facilitate election fraud and the re-
vcrsal Of the will Of the people As the leader
Of his party he was privy 10 every detail OF
this monstrolS campaign Of brigandage ana
lavlcssncSs He was the general in command
Of the outlaws who did his bidding: Of III" con
sciencolcss officials who violated their oathS; Of
the thieves who stole the returns that would
have left the Senate Republican body; and OF
swarms Of underlingS and trckStcrs who were
either nstigatng or committing crimes against
honest suffrage He issued the orders for every
thing that WAS done from Maynards first raid
upon PoughkecpSe to the final action of the
State Board Of Canvassers He was personally
and morally responsible for IA campaign Of law
breaking and rebellion against authority every
whit as criminal and reasonable aS Nc
Kanes outrages in Gravcscnd.
All these facts are notorious. The people OF
this State passed judgment upon them year
ago when they defeated Maynard by over one
hundred thousand votes. Justice Gaynor. who
is allowing his name To be associated on the
Maynard ticket with Hill'S. knows all the facts
of the case so does every one of the Cleveland
diplomatists. from Whitney to Grace who ar,
now intriguing with Hill and setting mp one
deal after another. And warn all these
nI ..utis
that they cannot fool the people this year with
any swan song Of publication Of politics Sen
ator Hill does not stand for hat Kind of thing.
