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. 4- The Democratic convo-itlon of Ohio declared for die free coinage of sliver at tho 1U to I ratio and die Democratic executive committee has Issued an ad dress to which it pleads for the restora tion of silver “to i»* lull money power.” What Is tho full money powet of silver? Is It not its lntr.nslc value? If nut, thtai it must bo something which the law cau confer upon any oihur material. 1T8 EFFECTS IN OHIO.

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 ehairnmn of 18Ug been mo the leader of the hostH of 1804 nml sltowori himself eqmil to the hour with Indomitable energy anil unconquerable courage ho c-arried the flag all over tho state, call- tug upon the friends of good govern ment to rally around It. B.bb—glorious old Hibb--bmvely re sponded, anil yet site could have done Several hundred more votes tvimd have been polled than were. Other counties also did well Still, tho result Is short of what was expected. 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 of their lives in tho Tenth d strict especially. The "brother in black ana the Republicans, nnd all others pound,le will l.o pleaded with to unit© forees for the defeat of the Dem- ocrncy. Every possible tnenns will be called into netivo use for our defeat, and, let me say, that unless flio party rtronsee from its snplnenesa r.nd Indlf- ren-nee, the assurance now had of sue- cess wll grow small by degress and Itcautlfully less. (In tho nature of tilings I cannot hope to soo many moro electlotts, but I sin cerely pray that I mny livo to see tho complete destruction of the Populist party in this dear old state of Grorgla.

PROTECTION FOB THE FORESTS. At Present There I* No Provision lor Guarding the Reservations. Washington. Oct. 7.—Whait to do with the forest reserve* haa become a eerlouo question fn the department of the inte rior. Congress pasezd a law providing for setting anxtrt tracts of land ns for est reserves, and when so set apwt they* could not be used for any other pur pose whatever. Acting under thi* law, the preulderJt ham from -time to time aet apart tract* which are known as forest reservation* and which are now on the government lands. In all there are over 17.000.0CO aerra thus reserv-’d in the states of California, Oregon, 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.
