orous partisanship and manly warfare" He
is right. ...,
Governor David Bennett Hill 10 as eaGRcious
a politician as the late Samuel j. Tilden, and
that is saying great deal for his political
acumen. The politicians are looking to New
York and Indiana in 1892.

for the Democracy. Keep your eyes on Hill
and Gray for 1892
Prom the NORFOLK Landmark
Governor Hill scored an important point by
attending the unwilling ceremonies of the
Hendricks monument at Indianapolis July /.
The mere attendance might not have amount
ed to moro than a cordial testimonial OF regard
for the memory Of the great Indianian. but the
presence and the speech together made an
item OF much Importance.
Governor Hill made n fine speech, too-a
speech which touched every key OF the Demo-
cratic campaign OF 1892. and showed that it's
author knows what he is talking about-knows
what to say and how to say it.
From the Waterloo ObfeTpcr
Hill has Justly been called the Henry
Clay" Of the present generation. He has
earned the reputation OF being the most astute
politician OF the day. Like Clay. DO Is ex-
tremely clear headed and quick witted in
critical positions.
His cleverness has been exhibited time and
again in foilinR the plots OF the Republican
State leaders. His political moves have been
bold In design and brilliant in execution. He
has occupied the Governorshlp OF this State
with advantage to his friends and discomfort
to his enemies.
From the Cherrv Tdliev Gdrette.
A large fraction OF the press is greatly eIer-
cised over the statement that Governor Hills
noted extemporaneous speeches are prepared
and written out beforehand.
Very likely. All good extemporaneous speak
ers prepare their speeches beforehand. No
finished speaker allows bimself to make q
speech without preparation 1t may not nee
essarily be written. but 1t has been carefully
considered. The ideas have been thoroughly
weighed, the forms OF expression studied. No
one has attained eminence az an extemrora-
neous speaker who has not done this. A speech
is not always delivered as 1t has been written
for the papers. but the preparation has boon
had for the changes.
Gov. Seymour once remarked TO us when he
was preparing an address for the reporters.
that he quite likely should deliver Q somewhat
different address. But he did not intimate
that 1t would not be as carefully prepared as
tho written one.
From The shetovrtle Daily Democrat
To say that the speech OF Governor David B.
Hill. delivered before the Hendricks Club on
July l, 10 State paper OF great merit and a
mastery presentation Of the Issues now con-
fronting the American people. Is feeble ex-
preston OF its worth. His arraignment of the
Republican majority in Congress and the au-
tocratic Speaker OF the House for their out
rageous usurpatior and wanton disregard for
the rights OF the people. is unanswerable. 1t
appeals to the higher and nobler elements OF
citizenship. and is calculated to arouse those
feelings Of patriotism which tmpelled Henry.
jefferson. and Washington to strike for q
down-trodden and craft-ridden people. His able
presentation OF the facts concerning the fraud
ulent and partisan census enumeration: his
mastery and Ineligible manner OF discussing
the tariff; his clear. precise. and:phlanthropic
denunciation OF that party which seeks to dis
rupt the country by creating race. color and
sectional strife; his trenchant disQuisition Of
the abuses and prostitution OF the judiciary to
partisan ends, and his learned and statesman
like manner Of presenting the Ubiquitous pur-
poses and insurrectionary tendencies OF the
revolutionary and unconstitutional act known
as the Force bill. show that the Governor Is
wise, learned. and sagacious; that he Is a law
yer. q statesman. and great man that no is
careful brave. and patriotic: that he is broad
in his views safe in his counsel. and jealous Of
the rights Of the people. He Is versatile and
magnetic.
