Some OF the Democrats recalled how
Mr. Hill took the nomination for United
States Senator when he captured the Joint
Democratic caucus by one vote. II was
declared at that time and it has been de-
clared since that MIR Till had promised
A. Ia Mr. a..
next that each should be made United
States senator; but NJ the last moment
Mr. Hill took the place himself.
Mr. Hills friends have decla red that there
is no truth In the story that he played fast
and loose With Mr.. Weed and Mr.. Murphy
Il IL well known that few. years later Mr..
Hill was powerless. and for that matter
was Grover Cleveland, to defeat the
nomination of Edward MURPHY. ,Jr for
United States senator. Mr.. Cleveland ad-
vocated the election Of Bourke Cochran.
But. melted by Major Hinkley's edi-
torials in the Poughkeepsie Ntrs-Press

about that letter which MIR. Hill, still
United States Senator, wrote in 1895 to a

1t was in that campaign that Mr.. Hill
refused TO support Bryan for President.
and the Hill Democrats Of the State took
their cue from him and either voted against
Mr. Bryan or remained away from the polls.
The same situation prevailed in 1900. So
il was said that Major Hinkey please spell
it without "c") has rather besprinkled him
self when he illtimates that Democrats
betrayed Mr.. Hill on election dav.
But, then, while Major Huxley il pretty
good sort of fellow, there are two people
in the political world who take him very
seriously He has charming personality,
most of the time he wears a beautiful red
tie with pearl and diamond scarfpin
and in midsummer he wears a khaki cos
tune and fine Panama hat. and he Is inter-
ested in a great many railroad benevolent
enterprises he has employed Mr. Cookers
sons In his Office Ito the great credit of Mr..
Hinkey without -c"D and yet with all these
fine attributes Major Hinkley. should not
have said, it was suggested last night,
that Mr.. Hill had been betrayed" by Demo-
Gratis on election day.
