companied by J. S. EVAN aud G. w. Blake,
arrived here shortly after 9 o'clock last
evening and were at once driven to the
residence Of Prosecutor Welty, where re-
ception was held in the governors honor
The meeting the governor wns to address
was set for s O'Clock and the hall was illed
to its utmost capacity long before that
time. Governor Hill did not reach the hall
till about Q O'clock, when the pent up en-
thusiasm of the crowd broke out in tire
menduous round OF applause. Mr. Welty
acted as chairman and introduced Gov
ernor Hill as one Of the most distinguished

Governor Hil's speech.
In his address Governor Hin prefaced
his remarks by dwelling on the elections
bill; the admission OF the new states and
called the Mckinley an infamous tariff
bill, the sum of all villanies.
He said the primary object Of a tariff
was to raise the necessary expenses OF gov
ernment, and no more should be raised
The place for the surplus was in the
pockets Of the masses Republicans had
reduced the surplus by unprecedented ex-
travagant appropriations, redeeming their
pledges and endangering a deficiency. lie
denied that the Democrats were ever com
mitted TO free trade, and asserted that il
favored more than any other party ever
organized protection TO American labor.
| The tariff must be high enough to equalze
wages between countries. lie defended
the Mills bin as furnishing adequate pro
lection to every laborer and as subscribing
the best interests Of the country.
MIR. Mckinley Attacked Politically.
Barring the free list every article on
which tariff reduced In that bill retained a
sufficient duty 70 equalize wages Demo
Gratis insist that little or no tariff should be
placed on necessities or raw material
for manufacture. He said it was hoped to
popularize the Mckinley bill by benefit
ing all little, but government should
have little TO do with business interests.
Mckinley was the strongest protectionist
ever in congress. No monopolist ever ap-
piled TO him in vain. No wages had been
raised since the bill passed, and the prices
of necessities had risen. He acknowledged
that merchants svere taking advantage OF
the bill. but charged that the bill furnished
the opportunity lie denounced the bill as
framed in the interest OF monopoly and Il
the injury all other classes.
Wages and the Tarin.
He denied that the tariff kept up wage
in this country, and accounted for th
higher wages here by the greater abilit
and intelligence OF the people and through
labor organizations. He denounced In,
unseating Of Democratic representative
from the south; the admission Of Wyomin,
and Idaho and tho rejection Of New Mex
leo, alleging th0t the latter was equal t
both the former, and chargl..- ali Y
partisanship. He said congress had beer
IN session for months without rules
Speaker Reed, promising to ACT accordn,
to established parliamentary law, had re
fused to recognize Democrats desiring {,
speak and ignored the rights Of the minor
ity. He spoks of the elections bill in thu
most bitter language, saying IL surpasse,
the tariff and all other issues as the grea
question Of the hour, and appealing to tn
people to resent it.
The New York Census.
He denied that there are dishonest elec
tions in the south, and said the colore,
people were happy and contented, an,
those not voting did not want TO- HI
charged that the bill endangered the liber
ties of the people, and the Republican
census officials were imposing false returns
in New York 10 deprive the state Of III
just representatives in congress by keeping
the population down.
A High Tribute 10 Mr.. Mckinley.
Speaking locally he eulogized Mr.. War
wick and paid a high tribute TO Mr.. Nc
Kinley, crediting him with ability, integ
rity and intellect personally, but denounc
ing him politically as a bitter partisan
unworthy Of single complimentary vot,
from Democrats, whom he long misrepre
sented in congress. He said no ruling o
Speaker Reeds was so outrageous or par
tisan but that had McKinley's indorse
ment, or at least he had not-the courage t,
oppose It.
Mckinley had opposed every measure
for the good OF the country introduced
since he had been in congress. lie as
sured the Democrats OF the district that
they had no easy task, and said the whole
country was watching the district. and
every voter would be approached to for
sake his alliance with the Democracy.
