David u. HiITs Retirement.
washington Post.)


Il think David Il. HIS retirement TO
private life will be permanent" said Mr..
a. Corbin, Jr., of New York, at the Riggs
House.
His name was once a magic spell'
with the Democrats of the Empire State.
but the charm has gone. With all his
astuteness and political sagacity / do not
think IT possible FOR him TO rehabiitate
himself, even If his party gets back in
power. which may not be for a long
while. Certainly he is forever eliminated
as a factor in national politics. His
course I'm the last campaign settled that
much. The man who does not take sides
when a great issue is agltating the cOun-
try loses the regard Of men of all parties.
and when Mr. Hill went into retirement
in the great contest of 1896 he forfeited
the good will OF all the contending ele-
ments."
