Senator Hill. of Georgia. the Washington corre-

returned from New York, where he has been labor
ing to promote harmony in the democratic party.
Senator Hill thinks it of the very first Importance
that New York be saved to the democratic party. but
he is greatly discouraged. While in New York he
talked freely with the leaders OF both factions with
the result that he greatly fears the breach cannot be
healed. He takes stock in the declaration of the
Robinson men that they will gain as much from
the republicans they lose through Kellys bolt.
Senator Hill is of opinion that they will gain nothing
from the republicans merely because they split
up among themselves.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

From tho Cincinnati Enquirer, October 1O.l
The republicans are no longer conducting their
nght in Ohio upon brag. When people look squarely
ut the facts boasting in advance proves nothing
The democrats have carried Ohio as many times in
six years have the Republicans-thrce times each
The democrats In this timo have carried tho
state by majority more than three times rs large
any the republicans have had In these six years
Another time the democrats carried tho State by
majority about two and half times large as
the largest republican majority since 1872. What
reason IL there why republicans should do better
this year than In those years? Republicans say
that in those years tho vote of Ohio was small.
Very WELL Take tho biggest vote Ohio has ever cast
and the republican prospect IS no bcttcr. Tho

Mr.. 4. c. Calicott editor of the Albany Tunes.
speaks thus enthusiastically of Mr.. Kelly;- ~ s.
Born, like Andrew Jackson. OF Irish parentage on
American soil. he is bright exemplar of all the
good qualities OF his race He has the same firm
ness and fearlessness the same indomitabe will,
the same inilexble honesty. the same keen percep-
ton. the same resolute purpose. the same love OF
liberty and the same devotion to popular rights
which imnortalized Jackson and have for
ever endeared him to the American people.
The democratic heart goes out to such
outburst OF popular applause that grcets John
Kelly whenever he appears. His plain, UMPIRE
his lucid straightforward style or discussing tho
issues presented to the people in this canvass tho
charm of truthfulness and sincerity that per-
vades whatever he does says mako
him hosts of friends wherever he goes.
and the true democracy thank God that in
this time OF trouble and dissension in the party,
caused by the odious personal policy of false and
selfish leaders like Tilden and Robinson. such
honest. brave and true leader as John Kelly has
come to the front. Albany has done herself honor
by the grand demonstration of Friday night and
the Kelly movement has received great encourage
ment, the potent influence Of which will be felt
throughout the State. 1t fitting that here,
in the capital city, the democracy should show
their determinatlon 10 carry out the good work OF
genuine reform within the party begun by tho Con-
vention in Shakespeare Hall. The true democracy
are aroused in their might and the hypocrites and
tricksters who have been masqueradng in the guise
OF "reformers'' until the very name has become
stencil the nosrils Of the people. will be driven
from their seats OF power. Lucius Robinson will be
defeated. The power and patronage OF the Gov
ernors Office will not be prostitued to the purposes
OF Samuel j. Tildon after the LIST OF January 1880,
and the track will be cleared for Democratic unity
and in the Presidential contest OF the coming
year."
Mr. Kelly and party will leave hero tomorrow at
O'Clock for Utica. where there will be meeting
in the evening.
