The Democratic State machine rebuilders are
Hill, Wood, Sullivan and McCarren.
Ex-Governor HIS remarkable tactics in re-
iuvenating the demoralized and discredited
Democratic State organization are disgusting to
the independent Democrats who hoped for re-
spectacle recrudescence.
The Independents feel that the opportunity
which presented itself to the man whose proud
est boast seems TO be Il am Democrat!" was
one whereby he could have led the organiza-
ton TO solid ground. The DEVELOPMENTS OF
the last year, and particularly of the last few
months, show that Mr.. Hills most prominent
Eeutenants-the men who are intrusted with the
rebuilding process-represent the most corrupt
political influences in the State. His men and
methods up TO date appeal TO low political
ideals.

is the combination of political generals that the
Independent Democrats of the State are asked

King Hezekiah, in rebuilding the shattered
walls Of the city of Zion, went to his task with
fasting and prayer. and religious and patriotic
zeal. Independent Democrats are beginning to
ask themselves, What manner of zeal is it that
inspires Gene" Wood, Tim" Sullivan and
Long Pat" McCarren? What will be their
natural reward in case of Democratic triumph
at the polls? What must be the understanding
between leader and lieutenants? Will there be
any "diVvy" for the plain citizen and taxpayer
in case this quartet scores a victory? Is this
the best the Democratic party Of the Empire
State can do?
These are the questions the Cleveland and
other Democrats are asking in the month Of
July, 1902
What Of Wood?
First Of all, Eugene Wood is the Democratic
political boss OF Albany County. Mr. Hill could
not go TO a county, State or national convention
from Albany County without the consent of
Wood. Wood is the Albany Democratic boss.
