HILLS "ACQUIEsCENT ATTITUDE"
THE Ex-sENAToR's VIEWS ON THE CAM
DIDACY OF WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

DIDACY OF WILLIAM j. BhiA
Albany Dec (Special)-The friends OF en-
Senator David B. Hill are much surprised over
the statements Of Elliot Danforth. chairman OF
the Executive Committee OF the Democratic
State Committee. and Norman f. Mack. OF Bur
falo that the ex-senator has got into line foF
3. IAN on an antitrust and anti-mperialist plat
form They do not believe that MT Danrortn OF
Mr. Mack had any authority 10 make such
statement. Mr. Bill they say Is in the naoi' Oh
speaking for himself on such important matters
Moreover. Mr.. Hi expressed certain senti-
ments regarding the financial plank of the Dem
ocratlc party at the Democratic National Con-
vention OF 1896 which ne has never retracted, so
far as known; therefore his noted speech at chi
cago in opposition not only TO the financial
plank, but to other planks adopted by the Demo-
cratic National Convention. is an expression OF
his present views on those same topics
II is perfectly obvious 10 Mr.. HITS frlends
that Mr. Bryan will probably be renominated,
and that being the case Mr. Hill, they say. Is
forced 10 assume "acquiescent attitude
Candidates sometimes assume receptive atti-
tude" There can be objection therefore, 10
a man assuming an 'acquiescent attitude 1t IS
a position a good many men in political life are
compelled to assume at times. even though they
are aware that their party by the adoption OF a
certain policy is doomed to inevitable defeat.
Ex-senator Hill has a prosperous law business
in Albany, and is paying close attention 10 IT,
