NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Gov. Hill had
great reception to-day in New York and
Brooklyn. Although the occasion Of
review of the first division of the Ma
tiOnal guard-was strictly official and
non-partisan, the political significance
of the enthusiasm with which he was
greeted by the masses in attendance
at the spectacle, was not to be
mistaken. In Brooklyn tonight the
ovation of the thrOngs of Democrats
was highly flattering to him and most
encouraging to all adherents of the
cause he has so ably represented, not
only in his own state, but through the
West. His speech tonight, like the one
at Elizabeth last night, was principally
devoted to federal issues, but
he added brief exposition
of the course of Democratic
government duringh his own administra-
ton and Cleveland's, showing how the
influence of the executive in recon-
mending laws and enforcing those on
the statute books have been steadily eX-
ercised for the good of the people of the
state witb special reference to the pro-
lection of the masses against the impO-
sitions of great corporations and mOnOp-
Olies. The largest single source of
Democratic gain this year, as compared
with 1884. will probably be from the
votes of citizens Of
GERMAN BIRTH OR DESCENT
The position of the Democratic party,
not only on the revenue question, but
also respecting social liberty and OppO-
sitiOn to veXatiOus sumptuary laws, has
won them away from the false pretenses
of the Republicans. The name of
Oswald OttendOrfer at the head of the
Democratic electoral ticket in the state,
will have no unimpOrtant effect
in carrying full German vote
for ClevelOnd. the betting mania has
subsidized during the last two dayf so
far as regards the national interest,
through the lack of Republican money
to put up against Democratic offers.
The heaviest of the contributors to Mr..
Quay's fund. against tying up their
money as stakes, to 90 to sporting men
after election has given Col. Swords
a rest, and everybody is wondering
why Republican headquarters entered
upon such campaign if they lacked
either the money or the resolution to
carry it out. The only bet of any ac-
count to-day is one by DR.. Worthing-
ton, of Chicago, that Cleveland will be
elected. The offer of Hon. Benja-
min Wood to bet $4,000 or
5000 that his associate, Col.
Brown, will win his wager of $4,000
against $4,000 on Cleveland's election
still remains without a takCr. The
truth of the matter is that at present
not even the most enthusiastic Repub-
licans can see any justification for
RISKING THEIR MONEY
on Harrison and Morton. Mr. Morton
still refuses to make any answer to the
charges against him of endeavoring to
run Republican headquarters eXclu-
siveIy for the stale of North Carolina in
order that he may be able to market
the fraudulent Litchfeld bonds held by
his firm. His business associates also
persist in refusing to make
any statement of the nature
of the transaction and every one will
understand that the allegation against
the vice presidential money bags candi-
date is strictly true. Labor circles are
a good deal interested by the furious
attack made by the London Times
on President Cleveland'S admins
tration having succeeded in effect
ing the exclusion of Chinese immi-
grafton to this country while the
Tory government of England failed to
accomplish the same result in Australia
in spite of the universal demand of the
ing of Tammany hall tonight was as
enthusiastic and crowded as any held
in the city during the campaign.
Notwithstanding the interest of
the organization in the local
contest the speeches we're chiefly
devoted to national and state issues, ana
the cheers that greeted the names of
Cleveland, Thurman and Hill were so
prolonged as to occupy large portion
of the evening. Nothing is more GER
tain than that the rivalry between the
local organizations as to which shall do
the most for the national ticket will
largely increase the vote of the city for
or precinct electors. The colonizers
at Wednesdays registration turn out to
be less numerous than was expected.
Those who were not frightened Off have
been listed for a rest, and well-infOrmed
politicians here are laughing at the
puerle efforts of the very provincial
politicians about Republican headquar-
tiers to control a Democratic metropolis
in an election IN a presidential year by
methods that would scarce pass muster
at an election for town constable in a
country village. These disciples Of
addition, DIVISION AND SILENCE
are accomplishing great things in their
minds eyes, but nowhere else. If they
attempt any actual crime they stand
about as much chance Of success as a
country confidence operator, on
whom Inspector Byrnes has had a
watch since he came TO town. The
nomination of Roswell p. Flower
for cOngess as successor to Mr..
Cockrane indicates a probability of
Democratic union on all congressional
and assembly candidates. Both con-
ventions selected the same man on ac-
count of his general aeceptibility, and
each rendered the Olive branch at the
same moment. Commissioner Croker
said to night, on behalf of Tam
many hall, 1--WE have not select
ed congressional candidates from
Tammany merely. We have
named gentlemen who ought to
be acceptable on broad Democratic
grounds. Who can object to Cox or
Fetch? Mr.. Mccarthy is not men,
Der of our organization, but he has great
Democratic strength. We are ready to
unite on strong Democrats every
where. The county Democratic lead
ers express like sentiments, but
say that Tammany, in nOminat-
| ing congressman before comforting
about them, has attempted to
take all the cream and leave skinned
milk to others. Nevertheless they say
| Flowers case expresses our views. We
want the best Democrat in every district
and uniOn all over on fair terms 1t
