New York, 1889. Signature of David B. Hill on executive chamber nominating Silman E. Topp (?) as a commissioner for the State of New York. David B. Hill (August 29, 1843 – October 20, 1910) was an American politician from New York who was the 29th Governor of New York from 1885 to 1891 and represented New York in the United States Senate from 1892 to 1897. In 1892, he made an unsuccessful bid for President on a platform of bimetallism, but lost the nomination to Grover Cleveland, his longtime political rival and former running mate. As governor, Hill opposed attempts to enact civil service reform and tax liquor. He supported regulation of tenement housing and labor reforms such as maximum work hours. On May 15, 1885, Hill signed "a bill establishing a 'Forest Preserve' of 715,000 acres that was to remain permanently 'as wild forest lands.'" This tract soon became the Adirondack Park.
