THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OP 1892. HE Presidential campaign of 1892 may be said to have beem opened on the part of Tammany Hall, at the State Convention held in Saratoga in September, 1891. At that Democratic gathering the adherents of Tammany, having the late Gover- nor, David B. Hill, at their head, found themselves strong enough to exclude the delegates of the County Democracy, and did exclude them. It has been truly remarked that when particularly acute people make a mistake they are apt to... make a very great mistake. Senator Hill has been held to be one of the brainiest men in the State, shrewd and far-seeing, capable of weighing the present and future effects of political movements with the instinct almost of genius, and yet he made the mistake of underestimating the resentment of his fellow-Democrats who were deprived of the usual opportunities of considering and discussing the political situation, by the unusual action ot precipitating a call for the selection of delegates to the national convention several months earlier than the custom of the party warranted, thus greatly prejudicing^ the verv object which he and his friends most ardently desired.
