At the annual meeting Of the Ken
tucky DistilIers' Association it was
agreed that for the uext three years
the output of Kentucky whiskey
should be reduced by allotting to
each distiller capacity equal to So
per cent OF his average capacity in
1890, 1891 and 1892. Seventy-Gve
per cent of the distillsrs have already
agreed to this and when 80 per cent
have sigued the agreement it will be-
gin operation. The belief is that
there will be no trouble in securing
the signers.
The plant of the Sunlight Oil and

Hill May Enter the Race.
The Senator Said to Expect
New York's Endorsement.

New YORK, Sept 90 1t is ru.
mored tonight that the Democratic
State convention will unanimously
endorse Senator David B. Hill for
the Democratic nomination for Presi.
dent 1t is furthermore stated that
this is the programme mapped out by
the leaders, and that Senator Hill has
given the proposition his approval.
Such an action on the part of the
convention, Hills friends claim. will
secure the nomination at the national
convention 1t would at any rate
prove hard blow for the Cleveland
Whitney people, for it is an open
secret that Whitney contemplated
such a move himself. Hill, it is
said, will receive the support of
Richard Croker also, which support,
even if the former leader Of Tammany
does not take an active part will mean
great deal.
Senator Hill got into town to-day.
This is doubly signi6can: taken in
conjunction with the arrival of
Croker Hill and Croker had long
conference tonight The decision
that Ex-Governor Roswell Flower
will be permanent chairman helps
confirm the Hill story. The senator
refuses to talk
"Have you came to take an active
part in the campaign, Mr. Croker?"
he was asked.

"Do you regard the prospects of
the democratic party as favorable?"
Gas I have been away for six

studied the cc"ditions here before an
swering your question However,
everything indicates that we are 60
ing to have good times again. If good
times return and the country is in
prosperous condition next year the
Democratic party will win. AS the
party was held responsible for hard
times, it naturally should receive the
credit Of having restored prosperity
On this basis, l expect the next
President to be a Democratic one "
Further than this Mr.. Croker refused
to talk npop political subjects, except
to say in answer to question that he
did not expect to attend the State
convention.
