David Hill's Is an Interesting history. I Is res •<
In the New York sUa'te politics he was ful eo
always Just one office behind Cleve-
land, or Just one term behind tor the
same office. Then he leaped out ar. 1
attempted ♦<> cajittn • the presidential
nomination by a series of snap conven-
tions. During 'this time he was simply
,thought to be asitate poDftlcJan. But he
got himself elected to itjhe United States
senate. The members of fehat body
were dubious. A man has- to usually
earn his right to speak by a proba-
tion of two years silence. Hill announc-
ed that he was going to address tht
senate. The members held up their
noses. When Hill got through that
body acknowledged it had a master
from New York whom It would have to
respect and listen to. He proved as
good a lawyer as the best in the sen-
ate, a graceful debater, courteous ad-
vocate. He left the United States sen-
ate respected by its members and a r«-
putaJtlom in the country at large as
among ithe ablest. In rhe history cf
those that had graced Its halls.
Richard Croker has been a ward pol-

stands men. He knows h<vw to man-
ipulate the common political factors
that elect men to office. And In a con-
test for the control of the New York
democratic central committee, Rlchari

It may he mean, it may not even
be honorable for J. Sterling Morton
lo show up private political 'corres-
pondence of W. J. Bryan when tin-
latter gentleman was an obscure, hun-
tgry office seeker for a position of on-
ly a thousand a year. It may not
matter to the publUc -what a man of
that public weight and value did
Surely If he could not get one
. it the thousandths departmental
cfleirkshlps of only one thousand a
year, what he said respecting the dut-
ies or patriotism of a citizen should
not be considered seriously fay the pub-
lic. But J. Sterling Morton probably
I concludes that we reach future great-
ness by making stones of our dead
selves in showing 'the "public that Bry-
an, in asking his endorsement for art
office, said: "1 assure you tlhat it is
the money that 3s in the office and
not the honor that attract me." This
contrasts stnmgly with another letter
accepting the presidential nomination.
In which he said: "The people <>f this
nation, stating In a high court, must
render Judgment In the cause which
greed Is prosecuting."
Men grow In power and veil thoir
public tttUwanoea to suit the occas-
ion, hut their convictions are those
spoken when they h.cd nothing to lose
and saw not yet the vast arena where
deceit can phiy on public prejudices.
(Morton caught Bryan by send'tig
several reporters to him and getting
.Interviews denying tl%it h« ever madf
or wrote such sentiments. Then he
printed e fac simile of the letter.
