HILL, DAVID BENNETT (18431910) , American politician, was born at Havana, New
York
 , on the 29th of August 1843. In 1862 he removed to Elmira, New
York
 , where in 1864 he was admitted to the bar. He at once became active in the affairs of the Democratic party, attracting the attention of Samuel J. Tilden, one of whose shrewdest and ablest lieutenants he became. In 1871 and 1872 he was a member of the New York State' Assembly, and in 1877 and again in 1881 presided over the Democratic State Convention. In 1382 he was elected mayor of Elmira, and in the same year was chosen lieutenant-
governor
  of the state, having been defeated for nomination as
governor
  by Grover Cleveland. In January 1885, however, Cleveland having resigned to become president, 1-fill became governor, and in November was elected for a three-year term, and subsequently re-elected. In 18911897 he was a member of the United States Senate. During these years, and in 1892, when he tried to get the presidential nomination, he was prominent in working against Cleveland. In 1896 he opposed the free silver
plank
  in the platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention which nominated W. J. Bryan; in the National Convention of 'goo, however, the free-silver issue having been subordinated to
anti
 -imperialism, he seconded Bryan's nomination. After 1897 he devoted himself to his law practice, and in 19o5 retired from politics. He died in Albany on the 3oth of October 191o.
