AT SEYMOUR.
At Seymour the Governor, despite tn,
heavy rain, was met by large multitude
to whom he spoke as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS: thank you for youl
cordial greeting. Four years ago our op
ponents predicted that our country would b,
ruined by the advent OF the Democratic party
to power. They predicted that It would assume
the Confederate debt; that the coiored people
would be remandod to slavery, and that the In
dustries OF the country would be ovortakcn by
disasters Of all kinds. 1t is hardly necessary
for mo to say that oil their predictions have
come to naught. Here the speaker was in
terrupted by the whistling and steam blowing
OF passing locomotive. Silence having
been restored, he resumed.1 That steam
engine reminds mo Of one Of ChaunceJ
Depews stories. On the day Of tho unvailine
Of the Bartholdi statue, the moment II was
unvailcd Mr.. Depew was introduced. That mo
mcnt evory steamboat in the harbor started
up It's WHISTLE and, said Mr.. Depew: ''This Ia

doubt Of the sincerity Of the President. Ho
may have made Mistakes but can't recall
what they are. What he has proposed
in regard to the tariff is for the best
interests Of the land. They believe
that the place for the surplus is in the
pockets OF the people, and that there should
be reduction in the tariff without doing in.

tives has given to us a bill founded on the true
interests Of the masses, founded upon patriot
ism, framed in the interest Of all consumers Of
the land. A Republican Senate mny refuse to
pass it, but, in my judgment, 1t will have to do
SO, and that fact will be recognized in this cam
paign. The interests Of the people in this cam
and in this campaign the interests OF labor are
identified with that same party. [Cheers.1 But

AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Between 5000 and 1000 had assembled
at Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis. to hear
the Governors evening speech. For five
minutes the audience, nearly every man
on his feet, was in a perfect frenzy of en-
thusinsm. GU ct being finally restored.
Governor Hill, who appeared profoundly
affected by his reception, with broken
voice and in hesitating manner said:
CITIZENS: have heard considerable
about the Wild West, but this far exceeds my
expectations. lGreat applause.l thank you
for this kind and fiattering reception. am

OF that distinguished statesman, Thomas A.

and I have no doubt that the great ques-
tion known as the tariff question has
been most elaborately discussed before
you. Permit me, however, to cull your at
tention at the outset Of my remarks to one
popularity OF this campaign. 1t differs from
the campaigns of the past in Presidential
years in this respect: for the first time in
years the people are engaged in the
discussion OF economic and industrial Ques-
tions. The first point that desire to mako in
behalf OF the Democratic party is this: that
we are indebted to the wise, statesmnnlike and
honest force OF Grover Cleveland Icon tinued
for having the opportunity OF pre-
senting these questions. Four years ago other
questions occupied the attention of the people;
the various sections Of our country were ar
rayed against each other. We were fighting
the war over again. To-day, by reason of
years OF National Demo-
cratic Administration, the country Is entirely
and completely pacitied; and hence we are
to discuss these questions that moro
intimately concern the people. [Applause.l
This result was indeed worth all the effort
md all the labor 1t cost four years ago to bring
IL about.
What Is the issue of the hour! Tho great
question Is: Shall there be reduction OF taxa

this intelligent audience OF the danger to the

by having IN overHowng treasury. We be.
