gave an ahte-convention Enforcement e a plat
form which surrendered the democratic position
on the tariff question In 1909 the platform
which came into the convention with bis APP
proval was SO fimsy and ambiguous that the con-
yention repudiated it and adopted much strong
cr tariff reform plank than he desired Alter
the victory was won he refused Co call an extra
session Of congress to take up the subject and
began at once to ooercc his party into the ac'
ceptanco Of a republican financial policy Even
when congress met IN regular session and agreed
upon a bill--a very poor one but the best that
could be secured at the time-he not only re-
fused 10 sign it, but gave out letter con-
demning H. The Inconsistency between what
he now saws on the tariff question and what he
has done. is so giaring that he only brings udi-
oulc upon the party when he poses as a special
champion OF a low tariff.
But his reference 20 the trust question was
even more unfortunate for he not only did moth
ing to destroy the trusts. but the campaign fund
in 1902 was 50 largely contributed by the cor
porations that his administration was mortgaged
to them.
Why it may be asked should these facts be
recalled at this time? Why not rejoice that Mr..
Cleveland talks in favor of few democratic poll
ces even though his record is out of harmony
with his words, Because he represents that ele-
the people into the hands Of the money changers
and until he brings forth fruits meet for repent
ance his active support OF ticket throws sus-
picion upon the candidates and alienatcs more
voters than his arguments can win The rank
and hle know that he was false to his party
pledges and that his subserviency to Wall street
terminated what might have been long era Of
democratic supremacy. Had he taken the peoples
side OF the money question, as Jackson did, he
vould have driven the republican party OFT OF
lower for generation but instead Of doing that
no alienated the real frierds % democracy and

rHe REGULATION OF HILL.

The action Of the Albany IN " Argus
in repudiating David Bennett Hill is more
than interesting. It is significant 1t shows
that the people Of New York state are now
beginning TO give oredenoe to report which
was current as long as two or three months
prior to the election. This report was to
the effect that Mr.. Hill did not really desire
the election Of a democratic governor. be.
cause he believed a democrat who could
make such show Of strength as to over
come the heavy pluralities given TO the re-.
publican ticket in preceding contests would
prove dangerous rival for the presidential
nomination in 1904 1t being assumed that
Mr.. Hill himself had aspirations in that di.
rection and that he did not care 10 have
his plans interfered with by a political hero
such as a successful democratic candidate
Tor the New York goyernorship would un.
ioubtedly have been.
The Post commented on this matter near.

Hill was not thought to be altogether sin.

marked that Mr.. HIPS actions during the
campaign would have a very important bear
ing on the matter as tending to show
whether he was really working for the best
interests of his party or for his own selfish
ends.
The Albany Argus has for nearly half
century past been the organ Of the up.
state democracy In New York. It defended
Mr. Hill and fought for all the democratic
candidates from Coler down during the cam
paign. but just week after tle election the
editorial regulating Mr., HIN appeared IN

the result Of some personal feeling on the
part Of those responsible for the editorial
attitude of the paper, but in view Of its
loyalty to Hill during the time the state
contest was on, there appears to be grounds
for the opinion that such feeling had little
or nothing to do with the matter and that
the editor OF the Argus advised the over
throw of tho man whom its terms our Jo-
nah" because he thought such action would
benefit the party.
The Post has all along thought that Judge
Alton B. Parker was the strongest man who
could possibly have been made the demo
cratic nominee for governor. but It was
stated that Judge Parker preferred to retain
his present position and that he would under
no circumstances consent to head the demo.
cratic state ticket The Argus intlmates
that Judge Parker would have accepted the
nomination had Hill been willing 1t is
almost universally conceded, especially since
the results of the contest between Coler
and Odell are fully known. that Parker
would not only have been successful in the
gubernatorial campaign, but that he would
have been brought into such prominence as
would furnish justification for the belief
that he would be a strong presidential pos
slbility two years hence.
If it be true that Judge Parker could
have been prevailed on to become a candi-
date for governor had Hill done the square
thing and that the nomination Of Coler--an
admittedly weaker man-was brought about
by Hill because he feared the effect of Par
kers election on his own chances for being
nominated for president then he has much
to answer for-so much, in fact that it is not
clear how a satisfactory answer can ever be
given. Assuming all the Argus says to be
true, It appears that that paper was jus
titled in advising the throwing overheard of
the Jonah" and that not only the New York
State democracy. but the democracy OF the
whole country should subscribe heartily to
the reputation of the WoIfert's Roost man

Cleveland Again.

Ex-Presidsni Cleveland has again emerged
10 his former political associates. As usual, Als
speech gave more delight to the republicans than
to the democrats. Ignoring the stealthy schemes
Of the hnaneiers and the insidious encroach-
ments Of imperialism, he urged tariff reform and
antitrust legislation as the only issues before
the country, but how could he be so obtuse as 70
think that bis argument would strengthen the
democratic positioni He was president when the
democrats had chance 10 secure tariff re-
form and to destroy the trusts, but he did not
help TO do either. In his message Of 1887 he
did not discuss the principles involved ia q
high tariff he simply called attention 20 the H.
