DAVID B. HiLU
Who died yesterday
wh-re the future dictator laid the founda
tion of Ma pOWar. He read law » ith Hnrt.
and a little aaore thaa ;« y^ar later, when
hardly twenty-one, he *- a .= ad-iir- id to the
bar
A short time afterward he was elected
a Justice of the peace, and his political
career warn fairly an mi In the M Ward,
where he lived, he cultivated the acquaint
ance of the bottom layer of society, and
from it soon built up a strong personal
machine. In those days Klr!il"a was a
mire of political corruption, and the young
lawyer became the subject of mar a tale
of vote buying, repeating and otter simi
lar practices. In a little time he was boss
of the city. As one of his first moves he
had himself made City Attorney.
In ISGB he reached out a little Into state
i politics as a delegate to the state conven
tion- Two years later he went to the As
sembly for two terms. He became a mem
ber of the Judiciary and Railroad commit
tees, and quickly won a reputation in Al
bany as a clever manipulator.
Those were Tweed's halcyon days. The
New York City boss had already fixed on
1 the new Assemblyman as a pood man to
know. Through Tweed Hill had borrowed
the money with which he had bought con
trol of "The Elmira Gazette." In that
first session of the Legislature Assembly
man Hill voted for the notorious Tweed
Ring bills, and at ft-" boss's request op
posed the Impeachment of the corrupt
Judge Cordozo sad ■poke In defence of
George G. Barnard, an equally venal mem
ber ■■* the bench. Through Hill's machi
nations Oardozo was allowed to resign.
But in 1F72 came th« period of reform.
aad Tweed's doom was in sight. Samuel .1.
Tilden was a member of the Judiciary
Committee, to which Hill had been reap
pointed. The latter attached himself to
the Tilden following, and became known as ,
a reformer. The committee voted for the
impeachment of Barnard, and chose Hill
as one of the managers of the prosecu
tion. He got a large part of the credit for
Barnard's conviction.
Fallowing this so-called induction into
the reform ranks, Mr. Hill's efforts for
years were devoted to furthering the Tilden
Interests in the southern tier of counties.
TV'ith the election of Tilden in IST 4 Hill
was recognized for the first time as a
power in state politics. He became a mem
ber of the state committee under Tllden's
chairmanship. In 1577 and again in 1630
he was himself chairman of the committee.
He had now won a wide reputation as a
speaker and presiding officer.
But in the mean time Mr Hill was busy
ing himself with local affairs as well. He
became an alderman, and m that capacity
for a time ruled Elmira. He always de
lighted in petty officeholding and in small
political fights. In ISB2 be became Mayor
of the city.
At ••■•"- same — he began to lay plans
to pet the nomination for second place on
the state ticket during the coming cam
paign. '■ : I leading rival was George
Ra:nes. of Rochester, brother of John
Raines. The chief aspirants for the gov
ernorship were Roswell P. Flower and
Grover Cleveland, then Mayor of Buffalo.
Hill fought for Cleveland's nomination, and
It tvas largely through his efforts that the
Buffalo man was named, and the Elmira
Mayor got second place on- the ticket. That
was the year of the Stalwart- Hal fbreed
fight In the Republican party, and the re
sult was a sweeping victory for the Cleve
land-Hill ticket.
When David B. Hill ascended the plat
form to take up his new duties a.* Lieu
tenant Governor he gave an illustra
tion of his contempt for precedent and his
determination to run things himself. He
made a speech outlining what the legislat
ive programme of his party would he dur
ing- the coming session, thereby usurping
the place of party leader, hitherto invari
ably left to the regularly chosen floor
leader.
Then in IMS came Mr. Hill's promotion
to the governorship, to which he was af
terward twice elected, thus serving as the
state's chief executive for seven years
consecutively. Simultaneously with his
becoming Governor Mr. Hill was also
made the state leader of his party by
the resignation of Daniel Manning, to be
come Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the
Treasury. The new Governor had a Re
publican majority in the- Legislature, and
the fight that followed was a merry one.
Hill vetoed a hundred or more favorite
bills of the members of the majority, and
they ■ turn refused to ratify his appoint
ments. His first regular session and the
special session that followed came to an
«nd and th* deadlock was still unbroken.
It -was Hill who. during his second term.
did away with hanging and substituted
electricity in state executions. It was in
this second term also that the aqueduct
scandal came fee Haiti It ■*» charged
that a deal was entered Into whereby
the Aqueduct Commission gave the con
tract for a new section of its work to the
firm of one of its members, who at once
sublet the work to a lower bidder at a
profit <>f j-,t r.rif. In the legislative inves
tigation of i*ks It was charged that Gov
ernor Hill had b«**n interested in thesa
arrangements and that they' were Intimate
ly conner-ted with notes he had drawn to
pay the campaign expanses.
Perhaps the event of Mr Hill's career
most ataafll criticised was the stealing of
the state Legislature. " December 22.

peals, but the people showed th( . opinion
of Maynard conduct when, on November
7. 1833. they defeated him for a place on
that bench by TH.OK plurality. The Bar
Association of New York on March 2!. 1592.
by an almost unanimous vote, declared':
"The offence committed by Judge Maynard
i is one of the gravest known to the law."
adding: "If it were possible to consider
Judge Maynard action as action taken in
ignorance of the facts, or the heat of a
violent political contest, or without oppor
turity for due deliberation, or in ignorance
of the law. this case would present dif
ferent features. But there is no such pos
sibility. Judge kfaynard has himself cut us
off from that. He has made public proc- j
lamation of the fact that his decision to j
remove those returns was made with a full j
knowledge at the entire situation; that he ;
took tine for full deliberation, and that, i
after mature, final consideration, he now I
accepts the full responsibility f C - his ac- j
lion."
After the election of November 3. IS3I,
Hill determined to get a Democratic ma- !
jority in the State Senat*-. In the ]: , th Sen- :
ate District the inspectors' return gave
the RenuMican candidate. Deane, the etec- !
tion by "S plurality. Of the counties in the
district. Columbia and Putnam gave Dcane '
m plurality. Dutcheas County gay? Os
borne. the Democratic candidate, 92 plu- j
rality, It was decided by Hill thai this j
close district must go Democratic and that '
the change in the vote must be made in 1
Dutcheaa County. Isaac H. Maynard went
twice to the count: leaders, presumably by j
Hills orders, and »a ■ result the Board of j
County Canvasser?, composed of eighteen
Democrats and eight Republicans, declared ;
that Osborne'a plurality was IS4. electing
! him by a plurality of 14 in the district.
I Am' n? the ballots thrown out were thirty
| one in the district o* Red Hook, known as
the "Quad" marked ballots, judged defec- j
live because they were marked, not by the j
voters, but by a protruding piece of type ;
when they were printed. It afterward -was
testified to that ballots with this type mark
were received From Republicans only, and:
j that Democratic votes so marke«l were re- i
! jected and new ballots required. ,
I The certificate of Osborne's election, ac- j
cording to these juggled figured, was signed ,
I by Mylod, secretary pro tern. -<t the board,
j The clerk of the board, refused to sign the
| document, and was promptly summoned to ;
| Albany and removed from us office by
'Governor Hill, Who appointed Storm Emans j
in his place. Meantime, the fraudulent cer- ;
tlflcate signed by Mylod was sent to Al- i
■ bany. Justice Barnard, of the Supreme
j Court, however, ordered on December 9
that the correct returns be forwarded, and. ;
j after numerous stays had been granted and
dissolved. Eman?. at about .'> o'clock on the ,
afternoon of December .1. mailed three
; copies of another return of the board, elect- ■
ing Deane
Late that night Eman.- was ordered to go
to Albany. He arrived there early the
next morning a:;d received from Governor
Hll! ins:r\cv: to !** guided by the views
of Mavnard.
On Dfior-mber 2? the Court of Appeals de
cided that the returns slgni d Mylod
were mcorrect, an>! tnar msht the State
Bourd of Canvaseera m*t. ar.U. :n spite of
the Burt's decision, adopted tiie returns
that elected the Democratic can'iifiate. ne
cause the other returns were not before
them. Maynard attended the meeting, but
gave no information as to where the le^ai
returns were.
From the governorship Hill went to the
United States Senate, where he served till
1857. There he opposed Mr. Cleveland in
many way?. He pre\ '-nte-I the crmfirma
doo of Wheeier H. Peckham and William
B Hornblower for Justices of tb« fnited
rente Court There was uonse
ijuently an hnpreaaton In the public mind,
during maiiy years, that insuperable an
tae-'-'n:*m had arisen between Mr Cleve
land and David B Hill as the result of
the auoceaa of the =rat» ticket in ISSS and
the defeat of the Presidential electors. It
•was a matter seldom mentioned or dis
cussed by Grover Cleveland In the Interval
between his two ierm» in the Presidency.
He never seriously regretted bis own de
f««- save rhat he occasionally referred to
BS might have done in matters of
; taxation and e\pendi T ure if he
could have ha<i another four -ears m which
*.-. lieveinp his policies in I M4, however.
the subject came up as a topic of conversa
tion with a friend, and he spoke of it with
great fr»edom.
"I want some time," he said, "to correct
the false impression abroad that I ever had
any feeling that the Presidential ticket
was the victim of treachery in New York
State in the election of l^Sv Nobody
could understand better than I how that
seemingly contradictory result was reached.
My campaign for re-election was made
upon a single national issue, so forced to
the front that, as I had foreseen, there was
no such thing as evading it, even if I or
my party had so desired.
"On the other hand, the state rampalgn
had local issues with their own supporters:
men for whom the tariff had only the re
motest interest. The brewers had their
own organizations for the purpose of pro
teenns; "he properfv under their manage
ment and Jurisdiction They had the right,
and It was even their duty, to use their
power for their own protection. If they
could attract votes from a weai and un
penuhw Republican candidate— supposed
to be inimical to them — to h:s opponent
who woul'l be fair because he. was strong.
they had a perfect right to do so. I had
had sufficlen' experience in stare politics
to understand the whole situation, and
Bsver permitted myaelf to reproach Gov
ernor Hill or his friends.
"I have never ceased tn admire and
praise David B Hill for his clean, high
minded administration of the affairs of the
State of New York. It kept down taxa
tion and was efficient in carrying out the
traditional Ideas of his party and of our
institutions."
In 1892. however. Mr. Hill thought his
ambition to be President was about to be
realized, and up to the time of the Chicago
ronvention he foujrht Cleveland bitterly,
hut there the followers of the former Presl
ri^nr were too Ftron* for him. though his
support marie a formidable showing.
In T*4, while in the Senate. Mr. Hill was
Induced to run once more for Governor,
hut waa defeated by Levi P. Morton. Then
came the campaign of MM, when the radi
t al element at Chicago nominated Bryan
for President Mr Hill was the leader of
the opposition. Afam. m the suite conven
., r . ( gf |gaj and the national convention of
MB. he found himself on the losing side.
But in the state convention of i<¥>;. nhen
Ootar wa«- nominated, h^ once more aaacrt
ed his leadership.
After his retirement from active polities,
on January L 1905 Mr Hill continued the
private practice of his profession, which
was a very successful one. As a lawyer
he was as keen a* he was in the political
fl^ld and enjoyed the highest reputation
both for his ability and persona! integrity.
New York County paid him JIO.OOO to rep
resent the prosecution in the case of Al
bert T Patrick, after he had appealed to
the Court of Appeals from his conviction
for the murder of William Marsh Rice.
The conviction was upheld.
Once at his own request. Mr. Hill was
investigated, by the Bar Association. It
had been shown during the insurance in
vestigation that Mr Hill while Senator had
acted hs consulting counsel for the Equit
able Ut* A.-furance Society. For this he
had been criticised, but he was exonerated
by the Bar Association.
Mr HUi had often predicted his retire
ment in the near future, but always put
off the date, till 1»U •"*' th * nomination

that his Political work was over, and that

MR- DIX EXPRESSES SORROW
Local Courts Take Action on Death of
Mr. Hill.
John A DiX Democratic candidate for
Governor.' who was ■ personal friend of
I .avid B. Hill, speaking of his death, said:
"It is a great loss to the state as well as
the nation. As a constructive statesman
he had always stood in the front rank.
As a man devoting his abilities to sustain
ing the Constitution, he was without a
peer. When he entered the Senate he at
once took rank with the leaders there."
"While Senator Hill had retired from
political activity." said W. A. Huppuch.
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee, "he still manifested marked inter
est; and when critica' conditions arose in
the Democratic party he was ready to ren

this election, particularly because of his
great admiration for Mr. \>\\. They were
warm friends. Senator Hills death is a
great loss, not only to the state, but to

was to see a Democratic Governor in New

A NEW GERMICIDE REPORTED
Asserted That It Can Be Used Inter
nally Without Harm.
St. Paul. Oct. 9l — Professor H. C Carel,
at the head of the department of medical
chemistry and toxicology" in the University
of Minnesota, is credited with announcing
an interesting- discovery He is said to
have found a chemical which la eight times
at* powerful as carbolic acid as a germicide
and which nevertheless can be taken into
the system without harm.
The statement needs confirmation, but If
it should prove to be correct it would put a
new agent in the hands of those who have
wished to overcome the bacilli of disease
with doses administered int£rnally to the
patient.

had been In a semi-conscious condition
since Sunday, and for three days hi? death
was expected at any moment by his phy
sician. Dr. Joseph T. Welch.
General Eckert was in exceptionally pood
health when he came to Long Branch, early
in the season. He had entirely recovered
from his serious Illness of two years aso
and greatly enjoyed the comforts of his
searhore home until Friday evening, Sep-
GENERAL THOMAS T. ECKERT
Ex-Prepklent of the Western Union Tele
graph Company, wlio died yesterday.
j tember 2. when (ip met with a stnsrular ac-
I cident- He was preparing to retire and in
turning around suddenly fractured his right
j thigh. The general was assisted to his bed
and suffered greatly from the shock. From
that hour his decline was apparent to all
the member? of the household.
General Eckert first earnc to Long Branch
In 1881 personally to look after and super
i vise the arrangements for the arrival of
President Garfleld, who was brought to the
seashore in a vain attempt to save his life
from the ballet of the assassin Guiteau.
The following ypar he purchased a cottage
here and has bee:- a summer resident ever
since.
He was a warm friend of President Lin
coln. They were frequently seen in Wash
ington walking arm in arm. He was to
have been among the box party that at
tended Ford's Theatre on the night of
President Lincoln's assassination, and only
a previous engagement forced him to de
cline th*» invitation.
Two sons survive him. Mrs. Eckert died
in this city several years ago. The body
will b* taken on Monday to New York.
where the funeral service will he held.
General Eckert was born at St. Clalrs
vtlle, Ohio, in 1524. He- learned telegraphy
almost before telegraphy was. At the age
of twenty-five he became postmaster of
Wooster. Ohio, and at the same time was
in charge of the. telegraph sratlon at that
point. Three years later he supervised the
construe of a telegraph line between
Pittsburg and Chicago over the Fort Wayne
Railroad route, and then became superin
tendent of the division.
The New York and Mississippi Valley
Printing T»leerapn Company had been or
ganized noT long before to join Buffalo and
St. Louis by wire, and in 1&t«5 this organiza
tion changed its name to the "Western
Union Telegraph Company, acquired the
I Fort Wayne Railroad route, and materially
| extended ESckeri ■ influence in the bargain.
Eckert was called to Washington soon
after the opening of the war and place*!
in charge of the military telegraph de
partment. In 18M he was breTetted briga
dier general and a few months thereafter
became Assistant Secretary •>■ War, which
office he occupied for two years.
With the close of hostilities he resigned
from the government to accept the place,
of general superintendent of the Eastern
division of the Western Union. In 18S1
came the consolidation of all existing com
panies and General Eckert was made vice
president ami general manager. He suc
ceeded to the presidency In 1893 and retired
in i!*"2 with the office of chairman of the
executive committee, which he held until
the end.
At th«» time of his death he was also
a director of the American Telegraph and
Cable Company. International Ocean Tele
graph Company, Manhattan Railway Com
pany. Texas & Pacific Railway Company
and several other corporal

MB. HOWE'S FUNERAL
Notable Throng Attends Ser
vice in Boston.
Boston. Oct. 30.— The patriotic, literary
and political life of the city, the state and
the nation was represented at the bier of j
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, in the Church of !
the Disciples, to-day. The brick Unitarian j
meeting house, whose parish was founded j
by her cherished friend, the Rev. Dr. James |
Freeman Clarke, held a notable throng.
In the absence of the venerable pastor.
the Rev. Charles G. Ames, far too feeble
to bear the strain, the funeral services j
•were conducted by the Rev It. Samuel a.
Eliot,, president of the American Unitarian j
Association, assisted by the Rev. William j
Safford Jones pastor of the < "banning M*-
morial Church, of Newport, where Mrs.
Howe had worshipped during the summer .
months for many years. 1
Coincident with the services in the
church, every public school in th» city de
voted half an hour to the memory of Mrs.
Howe, and her poems were read and her
"Battle Hymn of the Republic" sung by
tliousands of young voices.
Aft 1 the organ prelude the Rev. Mr.
Jones read the opening sentences of the
burial service, which were followed by aa ;
anthem and the reading of Scriptural selec
tions by I>r. Eliot. A hymn and a prayer
by the Rev. Mr. Jones led up to the euiflgy
by Dr. Eliot, which was in part as follows:
Each one of us here has. some particular
reason for grateful appreciation, but what
ever may be th^ Derate and individual
ties that have bound us in love and honor
to Mm. Howe, all of us alike share the im
pression of the richness and abundance or.
n-er nature ar*i tne prodigality of her gifts.
The Scripture phrase wmeh one niu of
in connection with this life Is UM word or
.... Master: "I am come that ye m:*nt
have lite and that ye might r.ave it more
abundantly." This is a career tnat speaks
to us of ripeness* an.l richness of experi

and achievement, of rare gift.< nobly used.
