PROFESSOR WILSON'S SPEECH.
The Nomination of Hill Coming Dol
lars to Fool Voters.
from Our regular correspondent

@A~iAA ~ van Rb0ah tdithSl tAdu "
utter the usual platitudes about their
being in favor of the nominee, and pc
culiar circumstances surrounding the
case which are not understood outside
of the State; but privately they do not
hesitate to say that the whole business
was put up job, for the purpose of
making Hill, who was only short
time ago in danger of being publicly
read out of the Democratic party by
his fellow Democratic Senators because
of his opposition to the tariff bill. the
leader of the Democratic party. His
nomination has already proved decid-
eddy embarrassing to the managers of
the Democratic Congressional CAM
paign. They have been sending out
literature in defense Of the tariff bill,
and especially the income-tax clause
of it, and here is Hill, who voted
against the tariff; bill, ominated for
Governor of the greet State of New
York, on platform that specifically
condemns the income tax. They don t
know what to do. If they shout for
Hill they offend Mr.. Cleveland, who
will control the Federal patronage I'M
til March 4, 1896. and if they don't they
offend Hill, who may be the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Presidency two
years hence. The Republicans, while
conceding the truth of Dan Lamont's
comment, that" Hill is a -getter,
are pleased with the nomination, be-
cause they are confident that it will
result in the. election of Mr.. Morton
and in making the electoral vote of
New York certain for the Republican
nominees in 1896. They fully agree
with the administration men i'll be-
lieving that Hills nomination was
put up job, and that its author was
David B. Hill, but they think the adj
ministration ought to be glad of it, as
Hill will dedicated and thus eliminat-
ed as factor iii national politics. The
administration men would be glad
enough OF the opportunity to assist in
the eliminating process were it not for
their knowledge that if New York
elects Republican Governor this year
il will almost certainly go Republican
in the Presidential election.
About the smallest piece of political
work ever done by any administration
was the resumption in a small way of
the coinage of silver dollars, in order
that the coins might be used by stump
speakers and personal workers among
the more ignorant voters of the South
and West to convince them that the
Cleveland administrationwas SO friend
ly to silver that it was still coming
silver dollars. OF course this little
trick will not fool intelligent newspa-
per readers, who know that Mr.. Cleve-
land is the most bitter opponent OF
silver who ever sat in the Presidents
chair, but from information received
here these few ISo, silver dollars are
fooling some voters. However, they
are mostly in sections where the Pop
ulists, not Republicans, are injured.
Still, it is a piece of dirty work.
Secretary Carlisle evidently did not
greatly enjoy his visit to Mr.. Cleve-
land. Perhaps the bad news he car
ried of the Democratic Congressional
outlook was not wellreceived. AT any
rate, the Secretary, who is ordinarily
man of even temper and pleasant
disposition, has been in terribly bad
hunor ever since his return. 1t is
said that Mr.. Cleveland vetoed several
propositions submitted to him by Mr..
Carlisl concerning Treasury business
and that one of them asthe proposed
formulation of rules for the payment
of rebate upon imported alcohol u.s.
ed in the arts. Whether this be true
or not your correspondent does not I'M
dertake to say, but it is borne out by
the seni-official announcement that
the Treasury Department will not un-
dertake to put into effect the clause of
the tariff law authorizing such rebate,
without further Congressional legis.
lation.
The Democratic Congressional cam
paign committee contained a lot of
thoroughly disguised individuals
when the cabled report of that fool
speech made before the London Cham
Der of Commerce by Representative
Wilson, of West Virginia, reached
Washington. Some of them private
ly admitted that any man who had lit
tie enough judgment to make such a
speech in a foreign country ought not
to be elected to Congress, and few of
them now think that he even has a
chance to be elected. The speech is
regarded as such excellent Republican
material that committee
from Mr.. Wilson's district came to.
Washington as quick as they could
get here after seeing the cabled synop-
SIS of the speech, to ask the Republi-
can Congressional committee to secure
a full stenographic report of it for gen.
eral distribution in the district. They
wish every voter in the district to
knew the I'M American languagewhich
was SO loudly applauded by the men
whose interests are all nti-American
and the Republican committee will
aid in carrying out their wishes.
Every voter in Wilson'S district will
be given an opportunity to read that
speech.
