who was a, the Hoffman House last night !,
said he sat in the Senator's Office in
Albany the other day with some other
politicians and commented on the quantity
OF mail which was piled on the desk. The

OF the country Mr. Hill said he was getting
lots OF inquiries as to what he thought the
next Democratic National platform was
going to be, what he thought II ought to
be, and questions along that line, Mr..
Hill ia answering some OF these questions
his friend said, and these letters, he sug-
gested, might have some effect on the State
del egations.
Senator Hill remarked to his friends that
he thought tho New York Democratic State
Convention to elect delegates to the National
Convention would be held quite late, prob
ably after most of the other States had held
theirs, and when the sentiment of the Demo-
Gratis around the rest Of the country would
be fairly well known.
