Tammany. To kin David B. Hin along

Tammany. To kill David 3. Hill along
with him would save the expense CT
another funeral. 1t is believed that the
scheme to name him for vice president
"a the last and worst Vaccination OF
those who hate him.
whichever Of these views may mirror
facts, no Republican would place the
most trif,ing obstacle in the way of the
nomination OF David Bennett Hill. By
all means let US have him for the tall
of the ticket There are few Democrats
who possess less of the peoples conf
dence or respect than he. He Is the
shiftiest OF the shifty; man who never
maintained q principle at his own ex-
pehse. who never hesitated at sacri-
fee OF character that promised political
advantage or advancement. His one
boast. II am a Democrat" meant moth
ing on his lips except that he wanted
the votes OF all Democrats and would
stoop TO anything TO get them. Even
at the close Of his past political career.
he went down because there was no
longer room for straddling. He believed
In 1896 that he could not support Bryan
on the stump and maintain any hold
upon New York state. II was that. and
no principle OF his, that kept him out
of the campaign.
In the slang of the day. Hill is a
"has been" The time was when his
name was a tower OF strength In New
York, and Republican leaders feared
him as they did no other Democrat. 1t
was his genius for organization that
counted. But he could not remain long
in public life without being found out.
The people had dropped him before his
party said farewell to him. After re-
peated honors, including a United states
senatorship, Mr.. Hill was forced by his
party to submit, as its candidate for
governor. to the test OF party vote.
His waning star went out forever. In
1899 the Democratic majority In New
York was 45.5ls. Two years later Levi
r. Morton's plurality over Hill was
156.1os. That tells the whole story.
From whatever source It comes. the
Hill movement today is one to which
good Republicans VIII give all possible
encouragement.
