uow David Bennett Hill Tried to
Keep Judge Maynard Out Of Con-
test In Which He Was
Defeated.

~xxHEN the standard biography OF
w David Bennett Hill, former gov
w ernor OF New York and United
states senator, and once leading can
didste for the Democratic presidential
domination, is written, t. will contain
= letter which has now Cor 16 years
heen kept in Governor tiilis safe In
Albany. It will be an extraordinary
revelation with respect 70 most dra-
matte incident in Governor Hilfs ca
reer. It will put him in absolutely new
ugbt upon a matter for which he was
subjected to the severest criticism. In
order that there may be good under
standing of it, it will De necessary to
repeat some political history.
In the last year Of Hills term as
governor of New Yofk-1890-a very
close election took place in the state.
For some days there was doubt wheth-
e- or not the Republicans had secured
a majority in the state senate. ID
any event, the majority would be
very small one, possibly no greater
than one vote.
The issue at last conferred upon
the election of a senator in Duchess
county, of which Poughkeepsie is the
county seat. There were strong sus-
picions that the returns had been tam
pered with, and that the correct re-
turns would show that the Republican
candidate for senator had been elected.
The matter was taken to the courts,
and Justice Edgar M. Cullen, now
chief Justice of the New York court Of
appeals, and a Democrat, decided that
the Republican returns were the cor
rect ones, and issued mandamus to
the state canvassing board to accept
these returns. But through what many
regarded as the interference Of an
other justice, Isaac H. Maynard, the
returns thus mandamused were not
sent to the state canvassing board.
Instead, the Democratic returns were
sent, and of course, these being the
only ones before the state board, they
were compelled to declare the Demo
cratic senator elected. In that way
the Democratic party secured control
of the senate. and Governor Hih was
severely criticised because he seemed
to support Judge Maynard. certainly
because he did not, when the facts
became known, take action looking to-

charming and kindly smile.

5 the POSSIBLE impeaehment d

the possible impeachment of
ay ard.
T Iree years later the state of New
York was to elect a member of the
highest court, and Judge Maynard was
nominated by the Democrats. 1t was
the common impression that Mr.. Hill.
who at that time was United States
senator. had forced the nomination,
and when Judge Maynard was beaten
by a hundred thouaspd majority, this
defeat was regarded all over the
country as a criticism more Of Hill
than of Maynard.
The real facts are now narrated for
the first time, and they follow:
6enatoy Hill reported to seine of his
friends that Richard Croker rad said
ts.at Maynard, If nominated, could be
elected. The friends replied: Gro
FER is mistaken; he cannot be elect
cd"
Il win make further investigation, -
said the senator, and having done
that, will consult with my colleague,
Senator Murphy" The latter had
been elected senator through the cap
ture Of the Democratic legislature in
the manner above described.
Meeting his colleague in Washing
ton some time later. Senator Hill
said: THE general impression in
New York is that If we nominate May
nard he will be defeated"

I'VE have got to nominate him. and
IN my opinion he win be elected" re-
torted Murphy.
Again Hill made an investigation.
and became definitely satisfied that
Maynard would be overwhelmingly
defeated. He therefore determined TO
write Maynard. The senator began
the letter to Maynard by saying:
II am about to write letter which
will give me more pain than any |
have written since entered public
life. am going TO tell you frankly
that in my opinion, In the opinion OF
practically the entire bar OF New York
state, and a majority of the Democrat
lie leaders, you cannot be elected. /
would therefore suggest to you that
you. in some discreet and satisfactory
way, make it known that you must not
be considered as candidate for the
court of appeals bench"
Judge Maynard received this letter
by messenger. In due time That mes
serger returned to Senator Hin with
this reply: Judge Maynard says that
10 can AFFORD to be defeated by the
people, but he cannot AFFORD to be-
humiliated by his party. He there
fore viii not withdraw. but will insist
upon his nomination"
Very WELL" replied Senator Hill.
IF he insists, have no doubt his
nomination will be MAZE But l am
afraid he viii regret IL"
And regret his action Maynard sure
ly did.

Death of Mr.. Anthoney J. Wyvill.

Mr.. Anthony j. Wyvill, died at his
home near this town, of typhoid feve +
last Friday night after an illness of a
weeks duration, although he had been
complaining for about three weeks. He
was born near Florenceville, this county
on December 18th, 1863.
Mr.. Wyvill was one of the best
known contractors and builders in this
section of the county and was consider
ed first-class workman.
Few men have lived in this COM
munity whose lives were more con-
spicuous for unselflsh devotion to those
dependent upon them, or whose hearts
were actuated by more generous i'm
pulses towards the world. His genial
disposition and kindly spirit won hosts
of friends who deeply lament his un-
timely death and who sympathize most
sincerely with his afflicted family. The
community has lost a useful citizen,
and his family true and loving friend
whose chief joy was to make others
happy.
He is survived by his wife, who was
formerly Miss Mary Ridgley, together
with ten children, Mary, Anthony,
Helen, John. Clara, Frank, Charles,
Elmer, Michael and Nicholas Mareen,
besides three brothers, MIR. JOSEPH
Wyvill, Mr.. Michael Wyvill and Mr.
William H. Wyvill.
The services were held from St
Mary's Church, on Monday morning
where Requiem High Mass was sung

otin Mt. Carmel Cemetery and the pail
bearers were: Messrs. Frank P. Hurt

Buck. Rev. Father Di Paolo officiated
The funeral was largely attended ant
the casket was covered with lovely
flowers. Father Di Paola spoke most
feelingly of the deceased, his uscfu
life and his last hours, when he 81
willingly received the sacrament of th'
church and his peaceful death.

cause for alarm was felt until Friday
night, when rapidly his condition be-
came worse on account of the paralytic
stroke.
On Monday morning the funeral
services were held at st. Thomas
Catholic Church, near La Plata, Charles
County.
Mr.. Mudd is survived by three sons
Sydney E., Jr., v. Griffin, and Thomas
