HOW EsTEE WOULD APPEAR AS GOVERNOR.

York concluded at last that 1t was time
to make an end OF this. The Tammany
chiefs became alarmed. Their head
chief, Croker, took to his heels. He
gathered up the princely fortune he
had saved from his revenues as
king OF New York and retired as a Tam
many sage But the other Tammany
chiefs were not so comfortably settled.
They felt themselves put to their wits
end, and tried various devices. They
sang the song of harmony as aweetly as
cooiLg doves. They would iorswear all
sslfsi nssigns. They would nominate q
high-sG.,sa citizen for mayor. They
would gsa endorse ticket nominated
by reform Democrats. They would do
anything to make the people forget the
tigers teeth and clawa until after cleo
ton.
"The salvation they could not expect
to win directly in New York they might
secure by o flank march via Albany.
They bethought themselves OF their lie
long friend, their trusty confederate. ID.
B. Hill. II they could only make fim
governor again, they need not trouble
themselves abou: defeat in may orally
election.
But would friend Hill be willing to
shipP Hardly. Comfortably eneconced
for several years in the senate. he would
not like to take unnecessary risks. II
asked beforehand he would refuse. Tam.
many, therefore, resolved to nominate
him without asking, and the game suc.
ceeded. Ii ia universally known, and
not contradicted, that the stampede in
the Democratic state convention which
thrust the nomination on Hill. was
planned and managed by Tammany and
that Hill had been nominated and vir-
tuslly accepted and found himself har-
messed to the Tammany cart ere he had
time to rub his eyes. That this sly fox
would be caught by surprise may seem
udicrous. But it is more than joke.
1t is the revenge OF fate; it is the sin OF
the eyil-doer coming home to roost; it
ie the devil claiming hia own. So often
had Hill ridden into places OF power on
the back OF Tammany and the state
machinery, that Tammany and its allies
have a right to jump on his back and
say, Now, we will ride you for our SAL
vation; We have done your work, now
you do ours
''All this is perfectly fit and proper.
Hill and Tammany are bound together
by natural tics. They are in one te9h
and one blood; their principles are the
came; their methods are the same;
their aims are the same, and they know,
as Ben Franklin said. they will have to
hang together or they will hang separ-
ately. AS Tammany has always fought
Hills battles. go, now Hill fights the
battle of Tammany.
ut means, in one word, that every
vote for Hill ia a vote for Tammany and
all that it implies.
''In the fret place it is said that d. r.
Hill has shown himself to be an able
