That is to say, 1890 of the 5000

they are boilers already, in common
with Tillman, Vest, Bland, Altgeld,
Col. Dan Jones, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Gov

SENATOR HILL, of New York, is
not among the improbabilities as a
Presidential candidate on the Dem
ocratic side OF the house this year.
There is no doubt that Hill stands
much higher in the estimation OF
the people of the United States than
ever before, aud the strong proba-
bility of his carrying New York in
the event of his nomination makes
him very available material in the
event the sound money men should
control the National Democratic

commenced to tell the Democrats
how they must act and who they
must vote for in the primaries as
between Jones and Harrod. Smithee

crime in any one else, but we hope
his teachings will not find Judgment
