1t is probably too much to expect
that Senator Hills nomination for
governor viii be received with uni
yersal fnvor by the New York Dem
mocracy. The fractional fights OF
the recent past have left their stings.
But one thing is regarded as Ger
tain, no Democrat will go to the polls
in order to vote for Morton. If be
dosen't like Hill he will probably
stay away The Republicans have
a trouble Of the same kind. Voting
for Morton implies the acceptance
of Platt's dictatorship and vulgar
bossing Of the party.
AS many Republicans will remain
away from the polls because of Platt
as Democrats who will stay away be
cause of Hill. 1t will not be very
large percentage of either party.
The Republicans had it in their
power by nominating such candi-
date as Choate or Tracy to have
won back the Independents. They
threw away their opportunity. By
attempting to put a gerrymander in
the constitution. not amendable for
years. which deprives the cities of
the state Of their just presentation
they have aroused Democratic anger
which is very good substitute for
enthusiasm. This and Boss Platts'
insoent domination have pulled the
Democrats togather in way that
seemed impossible few weeks ago.
A common danger as to the future
of the party has unified it, and in
that respect it is in as good shape as
the opposition.
The canvass, although brief one
will be of interest and extraordinary
work They do not go so much on
stamping in New York as in the
south and west, but in reaching ont
for the voters, instructing them and
getting them to the polls the politi-
cal machinery is most effective.
Governor Hill will probably make
as thorough speaking canvass of the
state as time permits. A great deal
depends on what Tammsny will do
on local nominations as to the size
of Hills majority in New York city
and on that of course, depends his
election or defeat. Hills vote in the
cities OF the state will be tremendous
as ne is particularly 8 favorite with
the party workers in all centers of
population. The majority of the
Republicans last fall, with the dead
weight of the Maynard nomination

Democratic Voters Attention.

The new election law requires each
voter to vote in the Magisterial dis
trict in which he resides. 1t is also
necessary to be listed on the asses
sor's books as a voter in the pre-
cinct. Voters having removed from
one district to another, since June
should call upon the assessor and
see that his name is on tho books,
right array. If this matter is de-
layed it may cause Inconvenience,
and If not done before election day
will require the voter 10 make an af-
fldavit. 1t is not as it was before
1892. See that you are listed
