DEMOCRATS ARE DrSAPPo1yrEn
They Are Really Sorry That Gov. Blae1
Isn't Going to Be Ra~nomInated.

Thay Are Really Sorry That Gov. Black
Isn't Going to BE Rsnominatsd
The Hon. Patrick Henry NeCarren. Chair
man Of the Democratic cnmpaigners At the
Hohman House. gave up all hope last night Of
Gov. Blacks denomination Senator McCarren.
Richard Croker. Senator Murphy. former Sem
ator Hill and about every other leading Demo-
GRAFT OF the State have insisted for two months
that Gov. Black was the logical candidate for
the Republicans to nominate. Mr. Croker
made no secret Of the Information he had re-
cetved from Republican Headquarters. Neither
did John T. Carroll nor Senator McCarren. 1t
was al to the effect that Gov. Black was to be
renominated. and then they chucklsd and said
in a breath: Won't we knock the tar out of
him.
IL was all different yesterday. It was appar-
trent TO the Democratic ~eanpaiGners that The
odore Roosevelt is to be the candidate Of the
Republican party for Governor. Chairman
AsGsErep caught hiT breath and st1mmered:

EOfng TO make 10 hot all aloog the line. They
took the ground last night. however. that the
Republicans OF the State eannot shin the re-
sYolsIbIlity for many things to the shoulders
OF Col. Roosevelt. and they are going TO send
out the Black literature Just the same.
More or less embarrassing talk has been pre-
cipitated about former senator Hills position
in the Democratic: party. Some folks wonder
Why he doesn't q dow and see Hugh No
he doesn't do that. Old friends Of Senator Hill
said they were conVersant with his position in
the party. and they put it thus:
Mr.. Hill was beaten In the state COMMITTEES
at Saratoga. He knew that he was to be beaten
before be vent there. Therefore he didn't PUT
Up any rGht; Nj Hi knows, that he Is 20 be
oeateu. in the Democratic state Convention
which is to BILE in Syracuse on Sept. II.
Therefore ne will not put Up any fight.
Mr.. Hill believes that the Democratic
situation in the state Is so shabby that
even Frank Black could be reelected as
Governor Of the state. He therefore welcomes
the prominence OF kiehard Croker and the
the approaching State Convention. After the
nominations are made and when the night Of
election comes and che Democratic forces ara
routed, horse. foot and dragons. Mr.. Hill will
sit back IN his chair and point ironically 20 the
success Of Richard Croker and his Tammany

-BISGHAMroS. Sept. Hill for Governor in
90 and President in 1900 ID the latest politi-
cal development that has startled politicians in
this section The word WIS passed around
amonG the Platt followers to-day that at a
recent conference OF Democratic managers
Croker proposed the name OF Hill as q Guber-
Material nominee. The reasons he gave were
that Hill was the most eligible candidate from
New York State for the Presidential race. and
his election to the Governors chair would
almosr insure his nomination two years hence.
he would also unite the t~aetions. and while
their differences are not considered dangerous
to Democratic success. a solid 'front.' would
sweep the State and carry the Legislature. As
an Lnducement TO Hill he promised the support
OF TammAnY in 1900.
When Mr.. Hill was informed Of the plan. he
replied that he had always been AMI would
always be willing TO make any personal sacri-
nces necessary TO the party's welfare. This was
considered 4 practical acceptance Of the prouo-
sttion and the nomination will be made by the
combination OF delegates from Rensselaer,
