MI. HuI's SPEECH.
Mr.. Hill confined his speech chiefly 10
agricultural matters. a subject which, he
said In the outset, he did not know any
thing about. Towards the conclusion OF
his speech. Mr.. Hill devoted some atten-
ton 10 political matters, with an apology
for doing so. He said that one reason
why the farmers We're not more pros
porous than they were was the imposi-
ton Of unjust tariff taxes. and that the
relief from this burden would be of great

THE DENOMINATION AT NIGHT.
To-day Senator Hi was the guest of
the Industrial Society, and Senator Dan
lei is its president.
Tonight he was the guest of the Lynch
burg Democracy. and that he was an
honOred guest was abundantly attested
by the n ayniiccht gathering that assem-
bled 10 hear and see him and the magnif-
cent street demonstration that preceded
the meeting. 1t was a great outpouring
of the party Of the people and the friends
OF good government The procession Of
Democratic clubs and other organiza-
tions formed on Church street, in accord
ance with the published programme,
about 7:99. The street from one end to
the other was packed with people on both
siGrs, and the windows of some Of the
buildings were brilliantly illuminated with
hundreds of candles. AS the procession
passed the Norvel- Arlington Hotel 1t
was joined by the carriages containing
Senators Hill and Daniel and the gentle
men attending them. The Flambeau Club
was the greatest feature Of the parade,
and created the greatest enthusiasm, illu-
minating the streets for blocks around
with their blazing torches, and brilliant
display Of fireworks was kept up inces-
sanity throughout the route. Tremen-
dous enthusiasm prevailed all along the
line.
The big warehouse and auditorium was
packed with a perfect jam of people
about 1000 in number-and there were
twice as many more on the outside who
were unable to crowd in. The audience
was very enthusiastic and demonstra-
tive and cheered Senator Hill, ex-Gov-
ernor Lee end Senator Daniel with equal
impartiality as they arrived on the stand.
After several Intellectual efforts Chair
man Christian finally succeeded in call
ing the enthusiastic meeting to order and
announced that Senator Daniel would
introduce Senator Hill. Ii was several
minuates before Major Daniel could get
in a word, on account of the hub-bub.
He then introduced the New York Sena-
tor in such graceful and beftting words
as he knows so we'll how 10 choose. re-
ferring TO him as the great leader In the
Empire State" and as one who has al
ways been on the side Of the people. and
never fawned upon pampered plutocracy;
the friend of the workers and whose
friends are the workers. 1t was perhaps
the most eloquent Introductory speech
our eloquent Senator has made in recent
years
SENATOR HILLS SPEECH.
AS Senator Hill arose to speak he. too.
had to wait minute or two for the
demonstration TO cease. After express
ing his pleasure at being In Lynchburg
at this time and the cordial welcome, Mr..
Hill said he came at the special request
OF that distinguished Senator who honors
Lynchburg by his residence here. Il do
not forget the fact" he continued, that
vention, and that he endeavored to speak
there, not only in my behalf. but in be-
half Of the dignity and privilege OF the
New York delegation. l regret that the
impatience of the convention prevented
him from having full hearing, and as
ingratitude is not one OF my faults, /
would have accepted his invitation to
speak here at whatever cost and incon-
Venience to myself.
Senator Hill made an aliusion 10 in
dignities reported TO have been offered
10 General Weaver in some OF the South
ern States. and expressed his regret at
the occurrences, saying that Democracy
had always favored ee speech ana recoS-
nized every mans right to hold and utter
his opinions without molestation.
In this campaign, he said, resuming
his theme. "as In the campaign OF lbsS
we are discussing economic and indus
trial questions. Issues growing out OF the
war have passed, but / want to call your
attention 10 the fact that II was not until
a National Democratic administration
came into power that they did rass away
When I saw the colored club marching
I'm the procession tonight l thought the
people up North would begin 10 think the
millennium had come.
GOOD WORD FOR CLEVELAND.
The first point I want to make to-
night is that II was under the wise, hon

Grover Cleveland great cheering) these
old war questions and the bitter sec

suited from their agitation were done
