HILL ON HIS VICTORY.
THE RESULT A sHOUIDER-HI
TER TO sECTIONALISM.

People Tired of Dead Issues and At
tempts to Revive Bitterness--Non-
Partisanship not Clailne ed by the Dem
Oorats, but Faithful W Work for the Pub
lie Veal Promised.
ALBANY, Nov. 5.-Gov. Hill was seren-
AIDED az the Executive Mansion tonight
by the Jacksonian Club, and the affair
was made the occasion for great Demo-
cratic demonstration. In the course of a
speech acknowledging the compliment,
GOV. Hill said:
One thing may well be deemed settled by
this election: The State OF New y ork, ideutl-
ned as 1t Is with the business INTERESTS OF the
whole country, anxious for peach ana pros
perity, liberal IN thought and tolerant of the
sentiments OF others, can never be carried
upon any issue OF sectional hate. The past
anlmOsities between the North and South have
Deen forever buried. and cannot be resurrect-
ell for the benefit of any political party, how
ever desperate that party may be.
NO REVIVAL OF BITTERNESS.
The returning prosperity Of business for
bids the revival of tho bitterness eugondcred
10y the civil strife. The people desire amiGable
relations TO exist between all sections of the
country, and will tolerate no agitation o. Soc
uOnal controversies that are dead. The party
that presents live issues pertinent to the de-
manus of the hour rs the party that VIII re-
ceive popular support. The people aro in
terested IN an honest and economical admin
istration of public affairs They want good
government eyerywhere-in the nation, city
and town,
DEMANDS OF THE CITIES.
They demand home rule for cities freed
from legislative dIctation or Interference.
They desire that the work OF municipal re-
form should be progressed to the end that
corruption ana dishonesty may be uprooted.
They insist that public officials shall be held
To a strict accountability, and that genuine
reform shall be inaugurated. The Demo
cratic party VIII meet these demands and
discharge them to the satisfaction of the
people. We have not promised non -parti-
san administration. The people do not expect
1t, and 1t is almost impossible under the true
theory Of our Institutions.
GOOD SERVANTS PROMISED.
We will, however, give the people honest,
efficient and competent servants devoted to
the public veal. Neither should / close with
out expressing word of rejoicing with you
over the victory Of the Democratic party IN
the grand old State Of Virginia in the election
of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee to the gOVernOrship OF
that commonwealth. You observed his man
ly presence as he rode in procession at the
funeral OF Gen. Grant in New York, whittier
he had come generously to pay his tribute OF
respect to the great General OF our armies
whom he had formerly opposed in civil
strife. The victory of Gen. Lee is important,
because 1t wipes out the last vestige Of re-
pudiatiOn visible in our country. and places
Virginia in the hands Of men who VIII not
financially dishonor her good name, ana will
insure a creditable and honorable admihistra-
tiOn Of her affairs
