LEADERS CALLED

LEADERS CALLED.
Albany. April 9 (SpeciaD.-The statement was
made at midnight tonight by Senator Cantor
that there would be conference In New-York on
Saturday Of prominent Democrats to consider the
policy of the Democratic party in the coming
State campaign. Senator Hill is to come on
from Washington &c hear other Democrats ex-
press their views. Senator Cantor said that he
could see why Mr.. Hill should attend
conference when he had apparently got every
thing relating to the campaign cut and dried, and
beyond the reach o. those dissenting from his
views
L am for Hill when Hill Is right" said Senator
Cantor. But do not believe that Senator Hill
is right in his policy Of a delayed Democratic
State Convention. 1t has been announced by
Chairman Iiinkey that the State Committee will
not meet until the middle os May. and that the
State Convention will not be held until the lat
ter part OF June. at least until after the Re-
publican National Convention In st. Louis. This.
believe. in common with many good Democrats,
to be wrong
1T may be Senator HIS Idea, but there
many who believe with me that Senator Hill. be-
ing as he Is so saturated with National politics.
cannot keep IN touch with the wishes of the
Democracy OF New-York State. He does not
realize as Go We who are in daily contact with
the political affairs Of the State. that the cam
paign in this State must be fought squarely on
the two great issUes-the passage Of the Raines
bill by a Republican Legislature. and the one-man
domination OF that Legislature
"Those wro feel as do. believe ttat move
ment should be set on foot for an earlier
vention, and that should show the people Of
this State that the Democratic party Is not a
dead helplesr minority. t"t aggressive.
powerful party We should call the conven-
ton early. and get the issues squarely before
the people think that an attempt will be
made to do this
Senator Cantor was asked II tho opinions he
expressed were those of Tammany Hall.
''They are my opinions. and those Of
many Democrats throughout the State. was
the reply.
"Will Senator Hill be candidate for Gov
ernor?" he asked.
NO. he will not" said Mr.. Cantor. but ne
will probably be a candidate for reelection TO
the Senate"
