ROUGH HOUSE FOR SENATOR HILL

me AiDdny IN. 1-b ArgUS was rec ognized during the recent campaign as the personal organ of David B. Hill and the upstate democracy. Al ter the recent election the Argus printed an editorial entitled Over board with Our Jonah" The Argus editorial was as follows:
 Now that the returns are substan- tially complete, since the rainbow chasing has ceased and the heavens are clear and facts are now in full show, the Argus proposes, with apol- ogies to none, to put a few plain. cold truths for the consideration of the democracy of the state
 Judge Alton B. Parker was the choice of every delegate to Saratoga who was observant of present condi- tions and capable of comprehending the duty of the hour. If it had been permitted to present this name to the convention he would have been nomi- mated with mighty shout that would have resounded through the state, and hundred thousand majority would have helped him to push Odell over the brink; for there was a democrat possessed of all those qualities that promote loyalty, party harmony and the perpetuation of party ties and that make for the uplifting of citizen sh ha election as governor would have meant for the party national promi. hence, and for him the presidential nomination in 1904. Nobody in the whole state more keenly realized these facts than David B. Hill
 With an instinct that was criminal in it's selfishness MT. Hill manipulated matters and brought to the fore a can didate whom he counted less likely to thwart his own presidential plans Then he carefully contrived a cell for his candidates confinement during the entire campaign. With none of the Ishmaelite's cunning he himself step-
 
 ried the resentments and hatred that were smouldering in every corner of the state-a frightful accumulation, the bitter growth of thirty years of prominence in the politics of the dem- ocratic party.
 To stoop to conquer was never for cn ;rsfau< oo1fnvnnla<ad hv SIa .,at fish politician. Hill, finding himself in supreme control of the party ma chine, he deliberately sought out the democrats who had stood at bay in periods past, and like Mad Mullah he rode at them and over them and back and forth and beat them into the dust.
 .-The man on horseback had mis- sion of an intensely personal nature to perform, and madly he gailoped on his headstrong way.
 But why multiply reasons for this astounding disaster? Rather let dem ocrats turn to the future and sternly prepare to discharge the supreme duty of the hour, disagreeabIe as 1t may be.
 The state democracy owes allegi- ance to our brethren below the Bronx. The loyalty of Greater New York has been emphasized so strikingly this year that never again may a state democrat question it. We can see now that we never should have ques- toned it in the recent past. save for the doubts so subtly sown by David B. Hill, sown, as we must believe. for the purpose of eternaiIy perpetuating the feud between the democrats of the interior and those of the great city at the southern end of the state. The se,fshness of it all is equally effective whether the cunning is practiced by the unfortunate charged with the con trol of the inmates of the inner court of the oriental despot and keeping each constantly infamed against the other, or by the enlightened citizen Of the state Of New York.
 @Misfortunte after misfortune has befallen the democratic party year af- ter year for a full decade-to be can didly specific, ever since Hills snap convention.
