HILL AND COLER "FIYING" ISSUES.
THE EX-CoNTRoLLER SAYS GOVERNOR Is
NOT ENTITLED TO ANY CREDIT FOR
ABoLIsHING DIRECT STATE TAX.

Ex-Controller Coler in consultation yes
terday with ex-senator David b. Hill. who. II
Is generally conceded, will dominate the next
Democratic State Convention. Mr. Hill and Mr.
Coler. 1t was learned last night, discussed possi-
BILE State issues for the fall campaign Mr. Hill
depends upon Mr.. Coler to some extent for ac-
curate judgment of public sentiment in New
York. After the conference a Tribune reporter
tried to learn from Mr.. Coler about possible
planks in the Democatic platform in the fall
campaign.
Further than admitting that I saw Senator
HILL haven't anything to say about our talk"
said Mr.. Coler. The Democrats will have
plenty of issues to fight the campaign on The
manipulation of the finances Of the State is a
good enough issue TO fight campaign on. | be-
heVe that the law passed by the last legislature
authorizing the issuance of Sc 600 900 in revenue
bonds is unconstitutional The Republican ad-
ministration is not entitled to any credit for
abolishing the direct State tax. The Governor
of New York and the Governor of Ohio have re-
ceived a great deal Of praise for relieving the
people from direct taxation for State purposes
This claim is obviously made to gain partisan
advantage. and IL has even less foundation in
fact in Ohio than in New-York"
