The Democratic Defeat Foresecn-Iseor-
Ganlzation Now Not Advisable.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. In n letter
to u political friend since election, Sen.
ator Hill, of New York, declares that
he saw that the democratic party was
foredoomcd to defeat on the Chicago
platform, which he could not bring
himself to actively or openly support.
Such being the case, nothing was left
for him to do but remain absolutely
silent and inactive. To the sugges.
ton, made In the letter which drew
the response from Senator Hill, that
active steps be Mt once taken to re-
organize the democratic party ION his
toric lines" the reply was made that
such course would at present be inn
polite, that no immediate necessity
for reorganization was evident, and
that delay was advisa BILE to give time
and opportunity to allay the rancor'
Gus feelings, jealousies and discords
which the recent conflict had aroused.
