New York's Senior Senator Con-
trolling the Campaign.
ThMAANY HAS FOUND ITS MASTER
Talk Of a Third State Ticket Given
Up.
EVERYTHING FOR HARMONY

Tammany never dreamed of. His moves
are so quick and 50 bold that the wheels
are buzzing in the mind OF every wirwamite
! in town. When Hin came TO this city a few
| days ago, matters looked very formidable.
! There WAS third ticket ready to be put in
the field, and bolters were numerous and
enthusiastic and noisy. There WAS an or
gdnized bolt i'm the air and democrats We're
wondering If the campaign would go by de-
fault.
isut these democrats had not reckaned
| upon Hin. They did not know the strength
he would show in grasping the situation
and making II give way before him. They
aid not know that before he left the con-
rentiOn hall al Saratoga he had made his
plans and that while The democrats were
yelling over his cyclonic nomination n. Was
mapping out his campaign. They did not
know that he had determined UPON a COM
| plcte change Of front as candidate for gov
ernor, nor how successful he would be in
his new role.
When i.ilI arrived in this city he took the
campaign in his own hands, an1 there was
( a different grasp upon the holm at once.
ranlmany has been in the habit OF indulg-
ing IN some pretty bold sailing in It's CAM
palsns, but none so bold as this. Hall came
here to pacify his enemies, to put himself

mho for years have called him hard names
until the whole vocabulary has been ex-
hauste1, and who counted that dan lost

have attempted or even dreamed Of. He
would have remained quietly Albany,
while his enemies were shouting from the
New York house tops, ana sent emissaries
| TO DO the treating ana pacifying. But Hin
came himself, and took away the breath OF
friend and foe alike when he did SO.
But Hill has been more than bold. he has
been successful. The talk OF a third state
ticket has vanished, the independent bolt

get no further Hin fairly cIubced the

step.
Willing to- Sacrifice Tammany.
Now he steps forth with a fully supply OF
olive branches in his hand, anxious 10 dis
tribute them TO all his enemies. To bring
about harmony he is willing To sacrifice his
friends. 1t is tine tight of his life. and he
lnows how much it means TO him. IL his

Way. lie will brook no opposition. IL IL
seems best for his plans that an anti
Tammany man should be mayor of New
ork II must be done, and Tammany with
the best grace al can, even perhaps with ex-
Mayor W illiam X. Grace, must present such
a person as its candidate. The idea is su-
cacious, but il has HIN behind it, and Hill
is complete master of the situa lion.
1t is a game OF politics such as this state
never saw before. The republican cam
I..iSn is being overshadowed. Hills person.
ailty and his boldness have put everything
else In the background. IL Hill is beaten
the party Will be beaten also, the whole
party.
If he suffers the other leaders of the
party will suffer with him. Some of his
friends think that the nomina tion Was given
To him by a kind OF packed jury process;
II that was the case the men who hacked
the jury will receive their desserts from a
Hal! standpoint in due time.
The whole democratic campaign was. plan-
ned over again as soon as Hill got on the
train in this city. Even the headquarters
were changed. Under Hnrs direction the
war will be waged from the rooms in the
Park Avenue Hotel from which the war
Was waSed that gave Mr. Cleveland $4,000
majority for governor, made him a presi-
DENTAL possibility and made Hill lieu
tenant governor. Hill believes that
there is inspiration in that ROOM and pro-
poses to make It count. The democratic
leaders who have always been anti-Hill
men have been brought over to him. Hun
had not been in the city twenty-fo1r hours
before William c. Whitney was diaing with
him, and before twice that time had elapsed

ers, Was talking to his denouncee in a pri-
yale room OF Mr.. Hills hotel
The Bl coklyn independent democrats are
now the only ones who have not come into
line. Led by Edward NJ. Shepard, the young
man who was turned out Of the Saratoga
convention. they are red hot for a third
ticket. But without the help OF their New
York brethren they can do nothing. A few
inen cannot stir up revolt, and the New
York brethren are thinking Of other thines
than third tickets just now. They are look
ing after the ,nayoralty and HIN Is keep
ing their attention SO fully fixed upon that
and SO shrewdly that they begin 10 think
that they may come to power in the city
again after all.
Concfliatiug the Anti-Snappers.
1t will be no surprise to see upon the
Tammany city ticket this year the names
of some OF Tammany's bitterest enemies.
To do this would be a bitter pill for Tam
n any, but IL Hill says Sc It will lie done.
He dominates that organization just now In
a way that has never been done before He
demands that the "anti-snappcrs' be given
recognition. And by recognition he means
Offices. too. The spectacle OF Tammsny
shouting itself hoarse over the names OF the
men who have fought & most openly and
il one that is likely to be seen.
The whole democratic atmosphere OF The
city has been changed by Senator AM. Mr..
Grace has not condemned the state ticket =
for several days. Mr.. Charles Futrchild has
not mint ID about using the scalpel stealthlly
e,aInst iiill and there In an air OF Won
drous calmness and placidiiy about the
office OF young Col. Robert Grier Monroe.
" hich was once such a rendezvous OF
political whirlwinds that Il was known
the cave Of the winds." The whole local
slate that Tsmniany agreed upon some time
ago has been smashed by Hill, and Tam
many must await developments before it
makes nominauons. and, what II more,
must consult Hill before any nominations
ere made. Every hour that Hiii II IN the
city the situation increases In Interest and
he does not propose to leave town until
things sre settled TO his own satisfaction.
The rest of the state II being hooked after
by hts tried and trusty lieutenaBts. The
New York city part OF the campaign is the
vital point, and HIN viii look after that
