Governor Hill on National Matters.
BosroN, June 19.-The Democratic Club
to-day gave a dinner in honor OF Governor
Hill. Hill replied at, some length. refer
ring to Massachusetts as the birthplace Of
Horatio Seymour. Samuel J. Tilden and
Grover Cleveland. The last name he re-
ferred to as " the honored Chief Magistrate
of the country, who is now 30 ably and sat
isfactorily discharging the important du-
ties of his high trust" Of President
Cleveland, Hill further said: ave have a
President, whose honesty and sincerity of
purpose to serve he people faithfully is
conceded by every one. He may make
mistakes, but what public man does not
make them? Permit me to suggest at this
time that our opponents cannot disturb
our equanimity by intimating that we are
disappointed about spoils. There is no
such disappointment. The Democratic
party has higher aim and purposes than
the mere distinction of party patronage.
We must not forget the President, in his
desire to reform abuse and to give the
country a better government by the agents
selected BY himself, has been observed by
an adverse Senate. Faithful men have
been rejected, or their nominations have
not been acted upon at all, because they
had been active party men, and that was
ALL" Governor Hill expressed it as his
opinion that the President should have the
power TO appoint, untrammeled by Senate
combinations, and adds: 81 am utterly
opposed to any policy or scheme which
prevents any administration from recog-
; nizing faithful party service in the distri-
!, button OF the important offices OF the Gov
, eminent. l am not in favor OF mere
sentimental appointments" He was vo-
y ciferously cheered.
