HILL There were two subjects on which 10 com
mserate him. one the cold-b.ooded and con
tenptuous treatn mt he receiving from Mr
Cleveland The other was Mr. Iills utter failure
to harmonic the hostile Democratic factions Of
New-York and Brooklyn. which the candidate for
Governor had devoted many long and weary
days with no result whatever except 20 make the
bitterness and animOsity existing between the camps
OF the Tammany Hall and Grace Democracy more

two factions will and rend each other at every
possible point on Election Day and that II about al

Anti-Tammany candidate. This was Congressman
L. J. Dunphy. VINO withdrew yesterday In favor OF
James j. Walsh. the Tammany nominee. In Brook

headache when he reviewed the utter collapse OF all
his neatly laid schemes for bringing all factions up
to the polls a unit In his support.

In public Mr. Hill does his best to appear IN good
