Show . . : A AIKRRY WAR. Tammany'R victory is Hill's victory, no mistake about that, Neither is there any mistake about the next senator from New York to succeed Evarts, Jlis name is likewise David B, Hill. And yet, somehow, the doughty governor is not happy, for he knows a thing or two in the political legerdemain, that makes him unoasy. He knows for instance that a man may be powerless to do himself any good and yot be poworful In working work-ing misohiof to his rival.- And so, taking tak-ing a montal view of Corpulent Cleveland Cleve-land on the one hand and the presidential presiden-tial nomination on the other, the sly politician finds that the two are wholly incompatible terms. One or the other, Cleveland or his' own ambition, must die. The governor evidently believes it easier to kill off Cleveland than an inordinate ambition, and so with characteristic char-acteristic promptness, be sets himself to work to do the killing. The hosan-nahg hosan-nahg ovor the late unholy victory have scarcely passed away than Hill's organ, the New York Sun, discharges a broadside at the ex-president under the charming caption "Tho Coward in the Fight." Now it is Cleveland's inning to show that ho is not a coward in this fight and charge the circumabient air with a swelling epithot appropriate to the occasion. And let the office cat sit on the fence watching the merry war prweed. |
