HILL AND THE PRESI.
DENT


His opposition to the administra
lion I'm days passed and gone has o
been emphasized by the number Of {
postmasterships which have been '
held up by his ingenuity and skin,
and as a result Republicans ae t
drawing the lucrative salaries which y
the Cleveland Democrats be'e
belong to them. C
But a change took plac Il
the session OF the 53rd CoDgr lls
Senator BILL found himseU o.
eating measures in unison VI 81
dent CLEVELAND.
1t is alleged that the CHEZ Il ~
tive was so well pleased th be
would support the Senator Tor p
position including the governo~ a
of New York. =
While this may be true, fats a.
occurrences do not seem 10 bea, ut
this version OF the matter.
The two distinguished gentle N.
Messrs. PECKHAM and HoRNBl z,
hose confirmation for the - q.
Of Judges of the Supreme
the United ST.
living In New yorA and u
pains to assure Mr.. HUI. On
feet. r
He defeated their confrmatit E.
fore the Senate and they propS, TO
defeat his before the people.
1t was thought that the nor a
tion of Mr.. HILL together with tn
er Cleveland men would pr Luce
harmony.
The declInation of Judge G. NOR
who was nominated for the Sup seme
Court was the signal gun for tisin-
tegration, for from that tire The
breach has widened steadily.
Now the Republicans, the Ns~
York State Democracy and the Com
mittee OF Seventy Of New Yors City
have united upon a local = bina-
ton ticket, with Hen i
e STRONG, Republican, as Ct h1ate
for Mayor, and Hon. JOHN ". SoFF,
+ Democrat candidate for Recorder.
J. The exposure OF the rascality In
{ the great metropolis by Rev. DIR.
i CHARLES PARKHURsT and the Isexow
e Committee of the legisls turs has
{. caused the heeIers to treTnble and
O Tammany Hall to realize THAI its
. downfall is at hand.
ri All of these elements are opposed
E. TO Mr.. HILL and tens Of thousands
a OF them will support his Republican
antagonist, Mr.. MORTON for govern
= or.
% Later, the New York State De
?. mocracy has put full cong ~er'or
e. al ticket In the field. They
re so a regular gubernatorial t
" be-. ~.od for with Mr.. NJ. .aGR a
b. It's head.
se 10 the midst OF all this comes tn
n enquiry, where does Mr.. CLEvRLAE
ey stand
I1- VIII he actively support Mr.. BIZ
d. or will be allow his friends to kni
" him without a word, urging them t
he stay their hand ?
~, IN 1t is quite significant. howevt
is when the announcement is mad
We that Mr.. CLEVELAND has forbldde
Suts Federal office holders to take an
part In the pending election in Il
os way of making speeches, etc.
Is 1t possible that the great DEM
cratic chieitain is preparing to "gIV

ns, for months has held up his lomin
cir tions and ridiculed all efforts mae

the condition of his party and the pr
OF mitigation of many of his pet Ideas

But Mr.. CLEVELAND has been 6
his customed to writing letters to
la specIal friends. Has he written o
ich as vet to Mr.. hill?
Has he congratulated him up
his nomination?
are Mr.. HILL has praised In his spec
