HiIl and CIeveIand-The Elections
Senator Hin was wayiaid on "Wednesday
on his return from Ohio. and compelled 10
make speech to the gallant Democracy
OF Albany, who are good men and true.
We were about to say that they are the
truest and hest Democrats In New YORK.

charged with giving aid and oo'tf"rt TO

kept silent on the subject. I.ut on We'd
nesday he sent the following expressive
telegram To the Democratic idtihcatioh
meeting at Albany. There IT was READ
amidst intense enthusiasm by MI. XII.
who was roundly applauded as he con-
Guided his remarks. Here IS tie Presl-
dens telegram:
''EXECUTIvE NANSIoN,

''To Charles Tracey. Albany, y. Y.
II have your letter. and beg you 10
convey to my Albany friends ana io'Wer
neighbors ut the Democratic = tihca'loh
this evening my cordial congratulations
on the wise and patriotic declarations OF
their State platform concerning the
leading questions before the American
people. and the assurance Of my earnest
wish for the success Of our excellent
State ticket.
GROVER CLEVELAND"
II will be seen that the President con-
graduates the Democrats OF his old home
on the wise and patriotic declarations
OF their state platform. These congratu-
lat,ons extend only 10 the leading ques-
lions before the American people" But
as the people at the Albany meeting
roundly applauded those utterances OF
the Presidents. We may be sure that
they contain all that Mr.. Cleveland was
expected 20 say.
Sepator Hill had just returned to New
York from Ohio when he was harnessed
FOR the meeting in Albany. So far as APP
pears from the report OF the Albany
meeting he said nothing as TO what he
learned in Ohio concerning the Demo
cratic prospects in that State. II does
look as if the Democrats there had little

mocracy of the buckeye State are in the
habit Of doing unexpected things. and Of
gaining victories when nobody expected
them TO do so. "The Campbells may BE-
coming" for aught We know. At any
rate. there is good reason for believing
that the battle in Ohio may point the
way To a successful contest next year.
At Albany Senator Hin reiterated his
views on the tariff question. commenting
upon the good times" which. he said,
had resulted from the operation of Demo-
cratic tariff legislation. We cannot yet
boast of good times" but We may hope
that they will come before long. The
longest lane has turn in it,
1t Is the common impression that The
Legislature to be chosen next week will
elect Mr.. Hills successor in the United
states Senate. But this impression he
corrected. We suspect that the fact is
that in New York. as in Virginia. some
of the members Of the Legislature to be
chosen on the 9Th Of November will
hold over until the session of 1881. At
any rate. Mr.. Hill told his hearers 20
wait until the elections two years hence
before they went into the business OF
electing a United States senator. lie
declared that so far as he was concerned.
every loyal Democrat in New York
State had as good right to be a can
didate for United States senator as he
had. Mr.. Hill did not tell his auditors
whom he regarded as loyal Demo-
Gratis.
Mr.. Hin became so Interested N his
subject that he declared that Cleveland
and Hill and ali true Democrats desire
Democratic success above all things.
There was no improperly in Mr.. Hills
declaration. seeing that he Immediately
read the telegram fr@n the PRESIDENT.
which is quoted above
But. We shall be asked whether Cieve-
land and Hill will next week march at
the head OF a Democratic triumphal pro-
oession in New York. We hope for the
best there.
