HILL ACCEPTS.
The aocoiitiuicu by Senator Hill of
tho Democratic nomination fur- kov-
ernor of Now York docs not Insure tbu
aueccaa of tho party In tho approach'
log election, but it docs make curtain
a skillful, Intelligent, energetic effort
to w.u success.
'tlio circuuutancos under which Sen
ator Ilill makes tills ratio are extraor
dinary. Tho uomluatlon is forced upon
him. Ho was both surprised and dls-
plttisod, when It was offered him, lie
even had rrusuu to bolicro that it was
offered by men u no hail been bis
friends and allies, but who now wished
to discredit a leader grown powerful
enough to redueo them to a state of
comparative helplessness. He is with
out tbe support of even one newspaper
in the city of New Y'orU. The Suit, the
organ of Tammany, is apparently
“kuillug" him, which suggests that the
Tuuuuuny leaders waul to gut lid of
him without opeuly making war upon
him—that they forced upon him a now-
fhateia which they lutendud to make
Worthless. Tho party is torn by fac
tions, ouc of which has been built up
largely eu Hie idea that Hill must liu
killed off as a leader bofuro tho Deuto-
cratia party m New York can bo wor
thy of the support of good citizens.
Out- faction of this faction is already
in opou revolt. ’
This Is the situation only one uiuuth
before tho election. Political parties aru
far better organised In New York than
in this country ami hot so much time
is necessary to develop their strength,
but the task Mr. HIM has uudertaken
Is a herculean one. Still, wo do uot
Hunk It is a hopeless undertaking. It
Is still possible to harmouixo dltrcrenrcs
cud bring out a full Di-ii-vnitlo vote.
Tile Democrats who do tot like Hill
liuvo nothing to gain foe themselves
or tho shite liy helping to elect Mortuu,
who though a reputable man person
ally, is but a political instrument of
Tom I’lult, who is a “boss" of even
moro objectionable typo tlum lllll, Tho
bad oauseti^auees to tlio party of die-
feat at this Juncture would bo entirely
too grisit to Justify any Democrat iu
felmkiug Hill's methods and approving
Platt's.
In Mr. Hill's speech thero is one par-
ngraph In which ho distinctly ism
drums the action of tho convention in
excluding tile "IndepeudenW'' of New
York and Brooklyn from participation.
This con only be interpreted to mean
that ho is willing to go to great lengths
to placate tho opposition of these men.
llo has heretofore been the first to in
sist that noliody outside the "regular"
orjmn&uitiuit hud auy rights.
The contest will bo wstched with
great luten-st from all parts of tho
country. The interest felt lu tho for-
tnucs of a particularly strong god ag
gressive pi-rsouallty la added to that
luspiml by die Importance of the po
litical results of file struggle. Should
Mr, Mill win aguiust suoli odds, it wiil
1-c difficult to preveut him from lx-lns
tho uext Demoo ratio candidate for
president.
WORK IS NKCE8SARY.
Tbe result of last Wednesday's elec
tion ought to he sufficient to convince
the careless Democrats who failed to
rote that they cannot safely neglect to
do tiusr duty. The majority liy which
the ticket was elected was net smilL
Ip proportion to the uauibcr of votes
cast it was much huger than that
given by any party to a gubernatorial
candidate * In toy Northern .state of
which we have rccollectlou, except,
possibly, tho majority given Cleveland
for governor of New York. Ilijt the
falling off in the Democratic majority
nevertheless nukes the future uncer
tain. Not much-more than half the
possible vote in Georgia is cast, and
wlr.lo it Is true that many men arc dis
qualified as voters because they have
been persistently delinquent as tax
payen, there Is a large latent voting
force which may be exerted hi an uu-
peeled dlroatieo.
The encouragement afforded I lie ene
mies of the Dauocratio party by tho
result of the elecrlua will no doubt
cause them to work with renewed en
ergy, In the npnthetle vote which haa
heretofore fulled to come to the polls
they have plenty of material to work
upon. Ho have die Democrats- -the
same material. If the latter are to re
store the prestige of their party, they
need to work just as hard a* their op
ponent*. They have right nnd reason
on their side, but "their opiK.ii.-ms have
the discontent produced by bard times
on theirs.

When nwirohlmr In close company Babe

when Capt. Smith In his dlgnlfled way

man than the world gave him credit
for.
And Jtm Priori (Ho was one of the
best men I ever knew, nnd by far the
handsomest. He was something over
six feet, and perfect from hla head to
bis feet. I have seen him standing m-
1 ked in the surr. srtth hla brown hair In

there could bo no better specimen of

TUB LATE ELECTION.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: On
tho morning, of Hu- election 1 went
early to the polls anil voted an open
ticket tor the Dem-wr.itic canU:d.nes.
Wititln two feet of me stood n nun
with whom 1 have hud pleasant asso
ciations for a number of years, and t»r
whom 1 now entertain a hi git regard.
Neither of us apoke a word. His name
was printed on the tickets lie had .n
lii* baud, and as I silently left the
voting place lie was In converse with
one of bis colored frleit-Is,
I put In my vote with tbe prayer that
.t might be one of IW.OJO majority
(Mr. day's estimate) with which I
fondly hoped my parry would tome
out of the great light. I wauled to bo
one that would be intith-d to r-J-ieo
at the burial of the third party. I
wanted to be one that could say to
that party. "Down, down to hell, und
say I sent thee there."
The result of the votiu* to be candid,
was a sore disappointment. I exp-cted
that as Uen. Evaua had .put whatever
of bail feel.ng be may have at one
m® 1 ® felt bt'lund Ulin, aud gem** into
the c^mteat with zeal aud vigor, his
frleuds would nobly follow his rxnm*
pie. They failed to do so, it ttppeura,
rile general, koow.ng that It was no
tune to be sulking, forgot the past and
did his full duty. Ho knew that the
Populists, unaided, crsiM accomplish
nothing; but if supported by the ne
groes aud the Republicans, serious
'Vork--"u strong pull aud a pull all to
gether’ —would be necessary to recurs
a victory; and, with this feeling, Gen.
Evaus took the Held, anil In ever/
speech he pleaded for unity and enlled
uixm the party, most especially those
who had originally espoused his cause,
to work ns one man iu support of tho
Democratic ticket in tia entirety—from
top to.bottom.
Not only did the general do good
work, but scores upon scores of others
were engaged night and day In preach-
Ing Democracy to tho people. They
nil felt that tho tirno Itad cotne to put
a check to the advance to Watsotiism,
and tli.it it was to be u supremo effort.
Ill every county stirring appeals were
muile. Crisp, Smith and others milled
power and emphasis to the efforts of
local speakers, and, save for now and
then a note of discord, tlio signs of the
times betokened a most brilliant vic
tory—a full and oomplste triumph.
Moved by a burniug desire to for-
over bury the enemies of Democracy (
beyond possiblo resurrection, Atkinson
was tireless. The gallant nnd brilhant

rite result of this election should
teach the Democrats a lesshtt. Tito
election in November will lie tio child's
piny. It will be tho grandest straggle
In our history. Encouraged by the
soemwtg apathy of the Democrats,
Watson and ills adherents will mako

others pound,le will l.o pleaded with to

called into netivo use for our defeat,
and, let me say, that unless flio party

Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
tana. Utah and Arizona tenrltorfe*. No
prevision whatever haa been made for
taking care of these reservations. Un
der the Jaw they are reserved to the
government, and no perron can make
any use of them, yet there is nothing
to prevent o ereons from going upon
them, or in any other way defeating the
object of the legislation and the reoer-
wtlon proclamation. Persons might fce
prosecuted afterward, but 'there is no
means of proven-ting depredations. Nei
ther is there any way to prevent forest
fires or other methods of destruction.
Tlie nersora interested in the forest
preserv-a-tlon were instrumental in hav
ing the reservation Law passed and tho
reservations made. They have also tried
to secure laws for the protection of
forests, but eo far without success.
One of -the tnost'enthuslnstlo forestry
men ln -the present administration is
Aeststanit Commie-doner Bowers, of the
geodetic office, -He has been doing a
good deal toward 1 having reservations
made and (has also been urging legisla
tion for thedr protection. 'Commissioner
Laimourtaux is a oraetlcal lumberman,
nnd referring -to the value of lumber on
these reservation* eays that no lumber
la valuable unless It fa within a market
able distance of streams or near a rail
road. At present none ot -the timber on
these reservation- could be sold. He
does no-t believe than this Umber will
he demanded for half a century. A
pact of -the scheme for the preservation
of the forests includes the sale of tim
ber from them to pay for their protec-
tion. If -there Is no demand for the
tlmo«T. it will be necessary for the gov
ernment to appropriate money for this
purpose. Already there have been plana
proposed for malting nuaional parks of
there reservations, nnd If the first plan
falls, -them an effort will be made fo
rtOalL over I® the ssvral states for
state parks.
