No more vigorous denunciaton OF Senator Hill for
a Republican newspaper than is found in THE
Utica Journal 1t declares against making any
issue tire subject whatever, and takes the nigh
ground in discussing the question What he

that the great Democratic party, the party that
boasts cf its splendid history It's ennobling trad-
tions and It's exalted purposes has 70 come down

The action OF the State Committee in recognizing
the Hendricks Hiscock faction in Syracuse has
done about as much 10 settle the factional fight
there as did the grotesque actions Of the commit
tee last year In deciding way in New-York
another way In Albany. and third way In Onon-
daga County No settlement whatever has been
effected: faction has simply been put in con-
troll. so far as It was In the power OF the State
Committee to do So and the other has been
ignored. The Hendricks organization provides for
an Executive Committee of thirteen and ninety
five ward committeeman. Among the thirteen MEM
bers OF the Executive Committee only one Belden
man finds a place, while among the ninety-nve

was In NewYork City last fall to bring about
its redemption
Despite all the silly chatter the part OF timic
souls about the possible results on Election Day
OF the fight for party reform. there is throughout
the State a remarkable feeling OF confidence in
Republican success this fall. a fair expression OF
this feeling IS found In The Lockport Journal:
The last Legislature created for Itself record
which convinced the people generally that their
interests In safe keeping and that 10 continue

The people OF the metropolis. but OF the entire
