irill,s Turn Down Destroys Demo-
cratic Chances In Empire state.
Kansas City, july SIT will be many |
year before the democrats in New
York state recover from the effect OF |
the terrific drubb!ng given Senator Da-
vid b. Hill Tuesday night By Richard
Croker. II will almost certainly lose
the state Of New York to democracy
this fall. People well acquainted With
ihe political conditions which obtain.
there are strenuous on this proposition.
Hill is the champion Of some of the
country democrats as against their city
brethren. Time and again in committee
meeting and other places he has made
sneering remarks concerning Tammany
Tor rdiculed their pretenesons to party
David Bennett Hill does not
like a bone in Richard Croker's body,
but he would not come out in the open
like Croker, contenting himself with the
bushWhacking methods of political war
fare. Croker has been laying for Htlh
He was simply hiding his time. The ops
lportune moment arrived Tuesday night
and Croker gave Hill the worst political
beating he ever got in all hts life.
This falling out, this open rupture.
between Richard Croker and David b.
4 Hill, will lose New York to the demo-
Gratis absolutely. While no man has
ever questioned David Bennett Hills
Integrity in the personal application OF
this term. he is known to be political
4 ,ltrickster and in politics he is the best
4 trimmer in many states.
Tammany has always claimed that
4 Hills work in politics was worth Moth
i ing. They have not been able TO rely
on him and they detest him cordially.
4 This feeling was accentuated when 1t
became known that Hill long ago re-
ceived an invitation to come to Lincoln
land visit Bryan before he took any part
in the Kansas City convention. When
the Tammany men got in here and
they heard that Hill was In Lincoln
4 hobnobbing with Bryan they wanted to
y know who in thunder is Hill? and lis
he the only democrat In New York
q f|state?"
4 Neither Mr.. Croker nor Edward MUIR
! phy. Jr., had been up to Lincoln to see
Mr.. Bryan, and everything was framed
) up SO that the fight could come of.
Mr.. Croker entertains personal feel
ings towards David B. HILL He has
been taking Hills friends away from
him year after year. He made a hole In
Z Hills following In Brooklyn, where he
n LANDED Patrick H. McCarren. Ex-Sena.
! tor Edward Murphy years ago was 9
: big Hill man. He was with Croke,
yesterday. Norman E. Mack, OF Buf
2 falo. was made national committeeman
2 yesterday. He Is an important factor
e lin the Croker Murphy combination
fwhich dominates the party mechanism
: lin the state OF New York.
The fight between Croker and Hill
was not altogether on account Of per
sonal feeling. The question Of polite
Z entered into it. Hill sis naturally stronl
with the country democracy. This is
2, matter OF sentiment with them NOR
= than personal friendship toward Hill
e The big democratic vote In New 'Yorl
e is in the boroughs OF Manhattan an
y Brooklyn and In the counties Of Renna
e salaer and Erie. Mr.. Croker. or rathe
aiTammany. controls the old county q
y New York and Kings. Normal Z
g Mack. the national committeemI!
Y comes from Erie. s
