Mr.. HILus LATEST Role.

Information regarding an entirely new role
in which Hon David Bcunett Hll is an.
pearing just now.
1t seems thnt the knowing ones In the
metropolis are convinced that Mr.. Hin

the New York State elections because no

Mr.. Hills opposition OF lack OF positive
activity. But that is not the point. The
point is that Mr., HILL IN order to convince
the people Of his sincerity, should do every.
thing In his power to promote the welfare
OF the democratic party III New York state
as well as generally. And II. pcrchanco, a
thing that now seems impossible Is brought
shout-if q democrat elected TO be gov.
ernor OF the State OF New York should
become so popular as to threaten Mr. Hils
claims Of securing the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency, then Mr. Hln
should accept the situation gracefully as
any good democrat would. In other words.
Mr.. Hin and all members OF the party
should forget their private aspirations and
ambitions and work as n unit for the sue.
cess Of democracy. It may he that vic.
tory can be won in that year without tho
assistance Of Mr.. Hill and those who have
fr1ncd with him during 1hc past few wears
but certninlv those chances win bc rrpntly
