HILLS BALLOT WAS MARKED,
How Albany Politicians Discovered that He
Voted for Bryan.

Albany, N. Y, Nov. 20. There is q
report around democratic headquarters
in this city today that David B. Hill
voted the straight Bryan ticket at the
recent election. The rumor is said to
come from one of the election inspec-
tors of the First district of the Ninth
ward, where Mr.. Hill voted. The in
spectors were all seen, but, of course,
all denied any knowledge of the rumor.
The plan used to mark Mr.. Hills ballot
is said to be the following; When the
senator handed in his ballot. the gen
tleman to whom he handed it had a
drop Of ink on his fingers. The ink
was not dry, and, of course, left mark
on the senator's ballot. The action
might have been unintentional, but it
answered the purpose without dis
franchising the senator.
Senator Hill was asked, through his
secretary, to deny or affirm this report,
but he sent out the usual answer 81
have nothing to say" The action is
said to have been at the behest of Judge
D. Cady Herrick, Senator Hills old
time political enemy, to be used against
the senator in the future, but the sena-
tor was evidently true to democracy.
1t, in fact, was the same faction that
sent Senator Hill to the Buffalo con-
vention as an instructed delegate after
he had requested that he so unin-
structed, who were behind the scheme
to find out how he voted.

FOR BRYAN.

We do not think it unfair to assume
that the newspapers which institute
this comparison know that the great
mass Of the illiterates in the Bryan
states did not vote for Bryan. The
Evening Sun and the Mail and Express
can not be unaware of the fact that
most Of the illiterates in those states
are republicans. So far as they voted
at all they cast their ballots for Nc
Kinley and sound money. It is not
their fault that they can not read and
write. They are the freed men or the
sons of freed men. In Maryland, Ken
lucky and West Virginia, the votes of
the black illiterates assured those states
for Mckinley. In states farther south
the colored men cast the bulk of the
republican vote. 1t seems strange, in
view of these facts, that intelligent
newspapers will try to convince the i'll
informed and credulous that illiteracy
is Characteristic of the Bryan vote.
For our part, we are glad to record to
the credit of both the colored litter
ates and the foreign element that they
voted against free coinage Washing

NO HOPE FOR BIMETALLIsM
From Republicans, Says Senator TellCr-Sil-
yer Men Must Look Forward.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 90, In an inter-
view he said: 81 don't think the re-
publican party will do anything for
silver during the coming four years.
The declaration of the ST. Louis plat
form amounts to nothing with q limita-
tion put upon it. Besides that, the
men who dictated the ST. Louis plat
form are opposed to bimetallism, in
ternally or otherwise. Mckinley, it
seems to me, has shown by his speeches
that he would be the advocate and sup
porter of the gold standard on the
ground that it is the better standard
than bimetallism.
During the four years to come ex-
pect to see therepublican party abandon
all pretense to a desire to secure inter
national bimetallism, and the contest
will hereafter be made between the gold
standard supporters and the organized
hosts of bimetallism. 1 think that
four years from now people will be
sufficiently educated to understand the
danger of the gold standard, and the
party that stands for bimetallism in
1900 by the United States alone will be
successful.
"There is no reason why we should
be discouraged. Our candidate was all
we could desire and performed his part
to perfection. We must not look back
ward, but forward. The silver forces
have a magnificent organization, and
now for the first time the fight is trans
ferred from the silver states to the
whole country"
