JACKSON, Miss, March l6. The hall Of
the house Of representatives, in which Sen
ator Hin was 20 speak, had been decorated
with bunting and small flags hung around
the speakers desk and from the galleries.
Early in the afternoon the galleries had been
filed with colored people, but they were
cleared out by the police and room was
made for white men and for the ladies Of
jackson. Some OF the wives Of the mem
bers were admitted to the floor Of the house.
When Governor Stone appeared escorting
Senator hin the whole assemblage rose to
meet them and the galleries and floor ap-
plauded loudly. The governor escorted Sen
ator Hin to the rostrum, where he took aseat
beside the speaker and the lieutenant gov
ernor When the assenblage had quieted,
Governor Stone introduced Senator Hill,
who said:
From this vast assemblage am tempted
TO remark that Mr.. Reed, who was once
speaker OF the house Of representives but
who is not today-[cheersl would have no
difficulty in counting quorum. lCheers and
laughter.l The senator thanked the mem
bers of the legislature for the compliment
they had paid him There was good reason
at all times for interchange of thought be-
tween the people Of forty'four states But
now there is especial reason; the principles
of Democracy were never in greater danger
The Democrats Of New York had taken
their stand on the groundwork of the whole
Democratic doctrine. This was the ground
on which he would like TO see the Democrats
of the south, whether Of the Farmers AL
lance OF not, take the stand. The Demo
] cratic principle had created the Democratic
party.
I The Democratic party is stronger than
' any man or any set Of men. No man Is ever
, indispensable TO IT, for It's strength is with
d the people, said the senator. Should the
I future Of the nation be intrusted 10 the
I Democratic faith there were new lights
plenty of them. There were cracked Ian
terms furnished up TO look like new-plenty
of them. He referred to Russia Germany
France and other governments He doubted
e II there was any governmental structur'
stronger than the Democratic party.
e The senator attacked the work Of the las
n congress- denounced the Mckinley bill AM
d said.
e II shocks the historic sense to witness tina
recent forging OF the Lodge bill chains. Carr
n son should be alive 10 tell the Harrisons tina
10 slavery is dead, even white slavery. Bryant O
Ia Wordsworth should be alive 20 pour forth 1
n lofty verse the deep respectful sympathy wit
- which the nobler hearts among your kindre
~ race now follow your exceeding trial. Thel

Of silver bill and other Republican measur,
" and said;
A Crucihed Constitution.
