Governor David h. Hill. cf New York,

viii afford HIM an audience calculated to
inspire him to say some good things. even
were Il not natural for him to do &C under
= I'll circumstances.
Not only the PoWhatsn Club. but all the
other Democratic clubs OF the city and
those Of Manchester will assemble to hear
him. MoeArt Academy will be packed
from parquette to roof, and the chances are
that there will be decided overflow.
The distinguished visitor will not make
. Get address on tho political issues OF the

formal talk. -
This much was developed at the meeting
last evening of the General Committee on

was hollow and the baby stuffed With saw.
