SWUj democrat
WHAT HUM IT SI KAN?
Politician eat are puzzling their brain
to find out jrhethcr the election of Gov.
Hill to the United State Senate mean
that he will not contest for the presidential
nomination aenln&t Mr Cleveland. Tlie
Sun which has been waRlng a hltter.unie
lentlng,unju6tifiable,peronal warlar upon
Cleveland U mucti grieveu in spun over
Hill's election to the senate, thinking that
it meant Hill's abdication which Mould
make an opcnf unobstructed way for
Cleveland to the presidential chair. The
Sun, in its great disappoiniment, (for it
has, for some time, been urging Hill not to
accept the senatorshlp,) is moved to say.
The question of ihe day.'almost equal in
Its interest to the momentous cou'.esiovnr
the force bill in the senate, is whether be
taking the office of senator in congress
Goveronr H!l!, now abdicates the great
post of Uader of the democracy and
necessarilv the democratic nomination
for president in 1S92. It ii a problem
which cannot now be solved withdogmatic
positlveness, but which lime will soon de
termine by facts. From the first the mug
wumps who support Mr Cleveland exe'u
sively have been of the opinion that for
Governor Hill the senate means abdica
tion and as such thev have desired it and
worked fcr it. On the other hand, while
we have shared their opinion ard have
made no secret of it, we have desired in
tensely that their efforts might prove futile
The most intelligent and uncompromising
of Hill's original friends, thoie who have
supported him and promoted his advance
ment from earnest devotion to democratic
Ideas alone, have also been of the same
mind with us ref peeling this subject and it
is proper to say that they now regard the
events wilh feelings of diimay and disap
pointment not known since Mr Tililen w in
defrauded of his office. Possibly they are
mistaken and we sincerely hope the sequal
may piove it, but this is no time to pass
complaints or encourage pleasant illusions.
The Oregouian says:
The New York Sun is distressed because
it fears that Governor Hill's acceptance of
the senatotship is and abdication of his
pretensions to the presidential nomination.
It does look very mu: has if Hill had mr.de
a deal with Cleveland, taking the senator
ship and giving up the presidency till
lSy6. If this is true it gives new interest
to Cleveland's views on free coinage.
It is evident that the Sun regards the
governor's election as ending his presi
dential aspirations for iSy3. If the gov
ernor has resolved to accept the senator
snip and forego his ho.cs to become pres
ident In 1S92, it !s but anotherof the many
proofs w hich he has exhibited cf being a
very astute politician. However, whether
he has concluded to stand aside from the
contest for the nomination for the presi
dency or not, would appear to be of small
consequence now, as, should the natlsnal
democratic convention meet to-morrow,
the contest between Cleveland and Hill
would hardly be worthy of the name of a
skirmish, fur the proof Is abundant on all
sides that the great body of the democratic
voters of the country favor the nomina
tion of the Man of Destiny. Of course the
sentiment among democrats may change
on or before the meeting of the national
convention, though there is scarcely a
probability that it will. However if Gov
ernor Hill should be nominated, it vould
be simply on the ground of avai.ibiiity and
he would receive the hearty support of the
democracy of the country.
It was a candid sta'.ement made by a
representative Montana republican that
he deemed It "ill-adiiscd for the republi
cans to continue to hold out. I am as
drnnira nartv man as is wanted when the
time comes, but there Is nothing to te
gained now that the two senators have
been seated." This is a fair summary of
the republican faith steal states and dc
bauch the ballot hex so long as any spoils
are in sight, then surrender a gracefully
as a Sioux brave.
A ne scheme to rtrtngthen the r.. 1.1 on the
State treasury, made by the wagon road Jills
is the introduction of a tinmb-r of hills appro
miatint! laree sums to built bridges on variou
streams throughout the state. The frienis
nf thpse hri.lee hills w ill he willing to support
Ihe wagon road bills in order to secur; support
for their own, and thus a combination is form
ed that at once threatens grievous burdens In
the tax payers of this state. Will llicy amuse
to a scne oftlicirdanger ,or, will ihcy wall
until it is too late?
If the talented Mr McKtnlcy overlooked
nvlhinn in his tax bill that could be taxed
the public would 1 ke to know what it is. lllio
but the great high taxer, with a seatclung ey
which sweens the entire universe at a glance
would have "thought of putting a duly on
natural gas? Hie McKinley bill does that
very thing. If no one cl.-e in congress reinem
beted that Canida pro.luc.-s natural gat Mc
Kmleydid, an l foreseeing that, with the
failure cf the American wells, it might I e im
ported he taxed It. The effects of his thought.
fulness havejast been let at liJlTil.i, where
the reorle are compelled to pay the tax on
Canadian es, which they import to take the
place of their own exaustc.l product.
