Bliss, Elihu Root, Colonel Cruger and Judge Noah Davis MT. Miller, in opening the meeting, asked the Republicans of this city to do the,r full duty, and he assured them, as representative of the interior counties, that the latter would do theirs "In years gone by" continued MT. Miller, the Repu blican party has gro wn weary It has said, It matters not how much we endeavor.' But this year they are de termined to give battle to the foe." Mr. Miller then 6ercely assailed Tammany Hall ..- Senator Hisc"ck Speaks.
 Senator Hiscock was then introduced and spoke chiefly upon the Worlds fair issue. He quoted MT. Flower as saying that he (Hiscock) had not drawn an honest breath in the Worlds fair matter "I am sure," said the speaker, "that those who know MT. Flower will not consider his w0r,!S with any soriouanaaa and vyharo I am known I do not think they will have any deleterious effect upon my character" He blamed Ta,nmany Hall for the loss of the fair and said it was because con. gress could not trust the powers that govern this city with the disbursements of the funds of the fair. Congressman Payne, Colonel Erhardt and others also spoke.
 Governor Hill at schen ectady. h
 SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Oct. 27.-A driz- ziing rain did not prevent an immense conc, urse of people welcoming Governor Hill here last nis ht. At the hotel he re ceived perfect ovation and at the opera house there was not a seat to be had at half past o'clock The Union college boys gave their cheer, and to 8 query, "W hats the matter with HillS" sang out, "He's all right; he's a lala." Governor Hill spoke briefly upon the Worlds fair issue and the tariff in his usual strain. He then said:
 s-. The Governors Speech.
 Considerable has been said during this campaign about economy in public af. fairs. I have yet to hear an intelligent reason advanced why the Republican sen. ate, under the lead of Senator Fassett and at the instigation of Mr. Platt, refused ts fo ho Ia ho stitutional amendment at the regular an- nual election to be held this fall, but in. sisted upon it's submission at a special election to be held last April at an ex. pense to the taxpayers of the state esti mated by the secretary of state to be the sum of $64O,OOO
 ''The people did not want any special election and the Republicans knew it. The Prohibitionists had not requested any special election at any other time, but were content that the amendment should take the usual course and be voted upon at the regular annual election. The bill failed because of this disagreement be- | tween the two houses. If the assembly had concurred with the senate it would have cost the taxpayers of the state over $500, 900 uselessly and unnecessarily. The Repu bIicans knew that the Democrats would not consent to a special election at such an enormous cost to the taxpayers 1 and hence they favored it, and thereby pre- | vented all action upon the amendment It was trick, a devise, a subterfuge, and one which they have often played" j. The governor said MT. Fassett was silent on this question and upon all excise mat ters. "Where does he standr' the gov 1 ernor demanded. "He has not sfA single word upon this subject since he began his of hor hof ho un ignores the question. The platform does evasion "a cheat, fraud. It is dishonest and an imposition upon the people. If | they refuse to discuss the tariff question, l they might at least discuss the excise question, because that is conceded to be . state issue'
 Fasaett in Queens County. 1 HEMPsTEAD, l.. l., Oct. 27. - Queens l county sent thousands of voters into this pretty town last night to welcome Jacob 1 Sloat Fassett and John w. Vrooman. As 1 MT. Fassett appeared upon the platform huzzas from 5000 throats greeted him. Mr. Fassett said: "Our campaign is almost l concluded. For three weeks the issues have been placed before the people, and 1 our friends the enemy have tried to run away from them. This is notoriously true of ex-President Cleveland and Governor Hill.
 "They want to talk national issues, while we are showing the corruption of Tammany Hall. What has congress to do witS high or low license question: or wi,h tho methods of governing the state of New York? -.-.....
 I've say the issue is, Shall Tammany rule the state" You must decide one week | | methods in the state, if you want the same system of blackmail that prevails in New 1 York city, you can vote for it's ticket.
 Edmund Burke said he feared wild cat in his bedroom far more than any number of lions roaming back of the Algerian hills. fear the Tammany tiger in the state bedroom far more than the roars of any number of low tariff lions in 1892. [Great applause.] Today the ques. tion is: Shall the party of Chase and Sew ard, Lincoln and Grant, Harrison and Blaine-[tremendous cheering]-or the party of Croker and Gilroy, Scannell and Stokes, Martin and Fellows, be placed in control of the statei Does any one pretend to defend Tammany's recordi Yes, Gov. ernor Hill is an apologist for it, but Hill is in the race for the White House.
 Here man shouted, "How about the
 Worlds fair?' II will say to my friend in the dark over there that the congress o1 which Roswell P. Flower was a member and not the legislature of which I was a member sent the fair to Chicago. Had
 MT. Flowers eighty-six Democratic friends in the house voted for New York she would
 have won the fair" Cheers.]
