MR. HILL ANGRY.
Mr.. Hill came back from Kansas city
with deep resentment in his heart for
| Richard Croker, declaring that the lack ,
I of harmony was wholly the fault of
| the Tammany man. He is angry through
! and through, and has promised his
| friends that the fight between himself
/ and Mr. Croker will wax even hotter at
! the state convention six weeks from now.
! Hill says Croker Inundated him Kan
/ sas City, and alone stood In the way Of a
moderate platform, the eliminaton,of free
/ silver and harmony In the New Ycrk
/ state delegation. He charges Croker
with determined attempt to put hlm on
the ticket in the effort to transport him
to oblivion, imputing that MIR. Croker Is
not sincere in his support o Bryan and
silver.
For that matter. politicians here charge
both Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Croker with having
an abiding desire to see ple ticket named
at Kansas City defeated. Mr.. Hill would
/ be glad, these men say, pecaIse his ad-
vice and counsel We're ignored; Mr. t'ro-
ker because second defeal would elm
mate Mr.. Bryan from politics Both men
are nominally supporting the ticket lest
they may be charged in Ire futlre with
| disloyalty. AS matter OF flet- both are
Iethargic Tammany las done little in
the way of preparing cor a hard lisiit
| for the national ticket. National head
! quarters will; have no large branch here,
/ and Mr.. Croker. will BE- alIow..d 70 Jake
! the city and Mr.. Hill he state and do
the best they can with 'slIeir respect.ye
