fix) It not been for William C. Whitney,
jm the lint of presldrnta of the 1'nlied
States, the Dame of David B. Mill would
have been added. This sasertion may not
be readily accepted by the mugwump al
lies of the democracy of two decades ago.
They would not have voted for him. But
no man today can study the political
records of that time without becoming
convinced that the country was reason
ably sure to elect a democratic) president
in lKtt. Had Mr. Hill obtained the nomina
tion, which he set out with such flying
colors to secur. the general party mo
mentum would have been amply sufficient
for his success. Nor does one need to
estimate Mr. Hill's prospects even so mod
erately as that. He was Just as good a
Tote-getter as Mr. Cleveland. They ap
pealed to somewhat different elements In
the community, but that Mr. Hill's appeal
was mny lees effective, numerically, has
never been shown oy any polling. Of
course, he would have failed aa a presi
dential candidate to receive thousands of
the independent votes which rallied to Mr.
Cleveland's standard, but this had been
just as true of the preceding contests In
J4ew York state itself, and yet he always
carried It handsomely up to the calamitous
overturn of MM, when, with a widespread
business depression, charged to the mis
deeds of the democracy, every bearer of
its .label went down In crushing defeat
Mr. Hj'.l carried New York In 1S88. aa
everybody knows, when MY. Cleveland, aa
the demooratlo presidential candidate,
lost It
On February U, 18M, the democrats of
New York assembled In a regularly called
state convention, and with tremendous en
thusiasm pledged their delegates to vote
as a unit at the on-comtng national con
vention for the nomination of David B.
Hill, then a United Htatea senator. This
was ex-President Cleveland's own state.
In ail ordinary practice It would have
been assumed that if New York were to
have the candidate. Its own choice, aa
thus formally expressed, should be ac
cepted. The democrats of the south, who
re the backbone of the party, rarely want
to know more about a candidate than
that be can presumably carry New York,
and incidentally that he would not be the
kind of a man to get shaved In a barber
hop where a colored man might be
similarly accommodated. Thus, any reason-1
svbljr good man, "who understands our
race question" and Is a New York favor
ite, proves acceptable to the great and
nearly controlling branch of the party.
This was the ground on whloh It readily
took up Alton B. Parker six years ago.
Hs had nsver done anything to put him in
the presidential class. Ho had "carried
New York" when other men failed to do
so. To this strange degree New York
rales. ,
taj-tla the Backfire.
Mr. Rill had an effective organisation In
many states of the union. Even without
that ho would have been acceptable to the
democracy as the man to carry New York,
but for the curiously arranged and ex
tremely effective challenge made by a
group of friends of the ex-presldent under
the masterful leadership of William O.
Whitney. They started n to undermine
the effect of this Indorsement of Hill by
declaring It a "snap" convention, because
called earlier than had been' the custom In
the state, and with certain other evidences
qf precipitous haste. ' They promptly ar
ranged for a convention of their own,
popularly known aa tha "anti-snap," and
Its members as anti-snappers. These men
signed petitions from one end of the state
to the other requesting the call of this
second democratic convention. This, of
course, named delegates to go to the Chi
cago convention. Instructed to vote as a
unit for Drover Cleveland. It must now be
acknowledged that legally they had "not a
leg to stand on." The Hill convention was
summarily called, but that Is alwaya the
privilege of those in authority. The ex
pected effect of New York's action on
other states was an asset for a New York
canoiaaxe, wnicn iew Torn men were
entirely justified la utilising.
Tbo "anti-snap" movement really aeconv
pllahed little except to advertise the op
position to Hill. The Chicago convention.
trhllo actually nsmlnatlns Hr. Cleveland,
aooorded his New York delegates exceed
ingly scant courtesy. Any project for divid
ing the New York vote between the two
wings of the party was promptly bowled
out The anti-snappers were not even al
lowed quaal-delegate seats on the floor.
Mr. Whitney himself had to tell them In
whispered emphasis to He low or their jig
would be up. The democracy, while get
ting Into readlnees to give Mr. Cleveland
his nomination on the first ballot by the
required two-thirds vote, was not willing
to accord it on the theory that New York
bad done anything else than Instruct its
delegates for David B. Hill. They had
signed a statement widely distributed In
fao s mile, warning the convention against
the Cleveland nomination as Imperilling
the success of the party In the state, and
their famous orator. William Bc:urke Cork
ran, made one of the notable addresses of
his life In presenting their cause from the
platform. Political history may be searched
for a precedent that will equal this nomi
nating of a New Yorker, In order to carry
New York, whom the New Yorkers them
elves Insisted was unavailable.
Cleveland as preeldmt makinr a trip to
New York to attend the wed'Hns of Mr.
Whitney's daughter and In similar ways
showing his regard does not detract from
the very large part In the shaping of those
historic events due to the generalship of
William C. Whitney. Incidentally. Ills
liberal expenditures In the anti-snap cam
paign and similar efforts throughout the
country came In decidedly handy. Othur
rich democrats helped.
mil and Cleveland.
The personal relations of Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Hill perhaps deserve some defini
tion. Mr. Hill never went to the White
House on patronage; he did occasionally
receive and accept an Invitation there to
dinner; at least one such occasion can be
well remembered. Mr. Cleveland never
"took any stock" In the charge that Hill
had betrayed him In 18X8 at the time when
one had carried the state and the other
had not. The president was large enough
to realize the different Issues which had
affected the voters In the two contests.
Mr. Hill himself, on receiving a delegation
to congratulate him on the gubernatorial
victory that night, laid great emphasis on
the shadow of national defeat under which
inty were laboring. On the campaign of
1802 Hill made speeches for Cleveland; but
not of the kind that did the candidate much
good; nor were they designed to accomplish
i.'iat. After Mr. Cleveland got Into the
White House and Hill became the head of
a group of obstructionists In the senate,
preventing the confirmation of Pecknam
and Hornblower for the supreme court, the
relations of the two men became consider
ably more strained, so that when ISM came
around Mr. Cleveland would not let the
members of his cabinet go to New York
to speak for Hill, then a candidate for
governor. Carlisle had been advertised to
address a business men's noon meeting In
the Wall street district, but he pleaded an
other engagement It used to be said In
Washington that no one could be a friend
of either man without having a view of
the other so unfavorable as to be wholly
distorted.
The time Is at hand for recognising In
Mr. H1U a very astute, resourceful, ener
getic political leader. In the old days of

ACCIDENT VERDICT RETURNED
Argument that Woa.
Here came In the "Jury of the vicinage"
argument. The promoters of the Cleveland
candidacy set up the action of New 'Jersey
and Connecticut and showing how essen
tially homogeneous were the democratic
Impulses of the three communities, asserted
that the democrats really wanted Cleveland
as their candidate. That the organised
action of New Ye k Itself was unrepre
sentative became the anti-Hill plea, and
with the exhibition of Cleveland's support
In Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, and
all about they were able to convince the
delegates of the south and the far west
that the New York convention which had
nomlaated Mr. Hill had not known Its busi
ness. And so Mr. Hill lost a nomination
which would have meant four years In the
White House.
The Hill movement failed not only be
cause of the affectionate regard of millions
of Americans for the ex-president, but con
cretely and specifically by reason of the
splendidly organised contest which Mr.
Whitney put up for him. That the rela
tions between Mr. Whitney and Mr. Cleve
land a year after ceased to be much more
than outwardly social and friendly Mr.
Cholera, the moat dreaded of the plagues
that occasionally find their way westward
from the crowded east has Its real home
In southern China and round the mouth of
the Ganges. Every few years, however,
It comes drifting slowly to Europe, moving
steadily. It Is said, at the rate at which
an average walker travels.
Certainly the path It prefers Is along
the ancient caravan routes through Af
ghanistan and Persia to Russia. An old
tradition has It that this dreaded dlseass
always follows In the footsteps of the
wandering Jew.
Russia always suffers terribly when It
comes. In the last visit that of two years
ago there were 400 cases a day in St
Petersburg alone. The terrible havoc It
works In Russia is largely due to the stu
pidity of the peasants, and their disobedi
ence to the medical authorities. Indeed,
only a few weeks ago, a whole village at
tacked a couple of doctors, and accused
them of putting the cholera poison Into the
village wells. Some of them drink fearful
mixtures of tar, rosin and petroleum as
preventatives. In some parts householders
hire men to stand at their front doors and
shoot guns to frighten the cholera away.
Cholera has several times got Its grip
firmly fixed on England. The first tlms
was In 1830-2. But It Is safe to say that It
never will again. On the last occasion
in ISM a few scattered cases occured In
Hull. Grimsby and Yarmouth, but the
scourge was soon stamped out. .
What is cholera? Well ,lt shows itself
in violent vomiting and diarrhoea, followed
quickly by exhaustion and death. A man
who Is well and strong at midday may at
6 be haggard and shrunk, and quite un
recognizable, with sunken eyes ond cheek
bones almost protruding through the skin.
it Is quite common for a patient to lose
two stone In four or five hours.
When cholera first came to England It
was thought that the disease came on the
wind from Russia, as did Influenza on its
first visit But now we know that It is
Infectious and that It spreads by the
mouth. Drinking; water Is its favorite
path from the plague-stricken to the
healthy. A person may carry cholera
germs on his clothing without Injury. But
if Infected clothing touches food or drink
the plague begins Its work. It is believed
that what brings It west along the cam.
van routes Is the d'rty habit pilgrims have
of washing their Infected clothing In way
side drinking wells.
When the germ is swallowed the disease
always shows itself within four days. The
germs on Infected clothing lose all power
after twelve days. It was the famous Dr.
Koch who discovered the real nature of
the disease. He went to Bgypt In 1833,
when the plague was raging there, dis
covered the bacillus and brought it back
In a bottle. A certain cure has not been
found yet, though under the latest treat
ment only one In five dies, as against three
In five twenty years ago. But medical set
ence does know exactly how It spreads, and
at every port In Kngland there are keen
eyes watching for the enemy.
It Is a curious fact that birds, without
making any bacteriological examinations.
are as quick to detect cholera as the most
skillful medical man. It has often been
noticed In India that birds at once desert
an Infectad district The first s gn that the
epidemic Is dying Is their return. The same
thing was noticed In Ireland during the ter
rible year of 183L
The strangest beliefs have been held
about cholera. Many Ignorant people used
to bei:eve that the disease lay bottled up
in volcanoes and come out when an erup
tion took place. Others thought It swept
away only those who were unwise enough
to sleep In beds with the head pointed due
