A sERENADE was given to Gov. Hill
of New York recently at Elmira to
which he responded in lengthy ad'
dress and in which he pointed out the
significance of the democratic victory
in that state. He remarked that it
gives evidence that independent vot-
ers :have quit being ruled by pre-
sumptuous leaders and newspapers
that they have declared themselves in
favor of reform and good government
and are therefore united with the
democratic party that the people at
large endorse Cleveland's adm inistra-
tion, but not by electing his oppc-
nents, as the mugwumps would have
it /; that the people are tired of at
tacking the South and not willing to
fan the dying out passions created by
the late civil war to hot fame. He
said it. also signi6ed that capital
and labor are alike protected by
the law, and that the efforts of the
laboring man to better his condition
should find the necessary legislative
support.
