MeahWhlie, the lines between Hill and
Croker are being finely drawn. The latest
to define his position is Controller BIRD 6
Coler. who TO-DAY stepped m bes,de David
b. Hill and turned his back suuarely on
Richard Croker And five minutes after he
had spoken it was said once more that Mr.
Coler was evidently a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor This
is what Mr. Coler said.
Il consider the position Senator Hill took
at Kansas CITY vas that of an honest dam,
ocrat His whole course was straight for

Mr. Danforth laughed in renIy and said

Hill and Croker are irreconc!lable enemies
They Will tolerate each other because they
must Tor political reasons. They will try to
win for personal reasons; privately Croker
stu believes that Hin IS a traitor and
Hlil opinion that Croker sneaked away to
England IN 1876 Is unchanged.
