" ARLINGTON, j an. 23, lS94.- The
Cleveland-Hill feud hasNtaken q fresh
start and now promises to turn into
a war of determination. Hill ap-
peared to be quietly allowing him
self to be snubbed by acquiescing In
the confirmation of the nominations
OF his personal enemies to fedsral of.
fees until Hornblower's nomination
TO the Supreme Court. Then he be
gan to prepare to fight back. end.
ing with a knockdown blow for AIR
Cleveland by securing the rejection
OF the Hornblower nomination.
While Hill was receiving the congrat
ulatioDs OF his followers, in and out
OF the Senate, Mr.. Cleveland saw HE
opportunity for revenge and prompt
5.kQok. advantage OF It ~ .Eetoing

bin. measure In which Senator Hill
and many of. his most prominent
New York henchmen were known to
be deeply interested, some people
say, in q financial as well as q polit-
Scal way. Hill and his Senatorial
supporters are not doing any talk
ing for publication, about their
plans, but when the Cleveland tariff
bill energies from the Senate the ef |
feet of their next blow will be visible |
to all the world without the use of a |
microscope. Republicans are eujoyinos
the combat and are perfectly willing |
to shout Ego it Cleveland, 90 it HIP |
With sufficient energy to keep .em
lighting.
THIS democratic tariff "kickers'
have one more week In which to try
10 amend the Cleveland tariff bill, |
and 1t will include the sugar, iron
and coal clauses, to say nothing of
the income tax, which they will try
ITO attach to the tariff bill as an a
amendment; but If the result of their
Efforts during the last week fe an in
tdication of their voting strength
their efforts will only result in talk;
they have succeeded in securing only
zone amendment that was opposed
by the democrats of.the Ways and
eaDs committee-that making the
BE wool clause go into effects on
sthe passage of the bill.
