Cleveland superstition and a clever political
game. But he won honor by his courage.
and his wisdom was soon justified by the
bursting of the Cleveland bubble and the
Democratic party.
In 1896 he fought as c~ourageously and
valnly in the Chicago Convention against
the radical epidemic and emotional insanity
but it was honorable. Again wisdom was
justified of her child.

HILL emerged from Wolfert's Roost. The
old habit and the old talent gnawed his

politics. Some snubbings he had to undergo.
He Is still the object Of much suspicion to
the March-hare Bryanites. But he has
grown in confidence IL not in grace. He Ia
once more an active leader. and he brings
his mind to his favoritc subject-how to
carry New York State for the Democrats.

But what do We find the old hunter doing?
