Hill at Buffalo.

At The Democratic mass meeting
in Buffalo, New York, Senator Hill
said in part
81 am here tonight to aid in the
promotion Of Democratic principles
and to advocate the election of Gro
YER Cleveland aud Adlia K. Steven
son. No apology or explanation is
needed for my course. For over ten
years it has been my custom each
annual election to appear before my
fellow-citizens and contribute my
share towords the discussion of the
political questions of the hour.
''You did not believe that this
campaign would prove an exception
TO the usual rule, and you are not
disappointed. Among honorable
men, the loyal discharge of politi-
cal duty outweighs all minor con-
celebrations and in this crisis of
our country's history. and in this
great emergency in our party af-
fairs, individual disappointments,
or even alleged personal injustice,
should be subordinated in the faith
full performance of political obliga-
tions, not as mere 10 after OF ex-
pediency, but from a higher sense
of duty.
Permit me to suggest that we
have all of us now mission to full
fill. Petty jealousies must be dis
missed, regular CARNATIONS must
be respected, party discipline must
be enforced, dis ensions must be
healed, and apathy must give way
to enthusiasm in order that the
grand old party to which we are
proud 10 belong may secure the tri-
umph of right principles and work
out the noble destiny which ought
surely to await it.
"The control OF this government
for many years to come, by one or
the other of the two great political
parties, is the prize at hazard in
the pending contest. in which all
other considerations should sink ir-
to insignifcance."
Probably the first Prohibition
flag pole ever raised in West Vir-
ginia was raised at Charleston last
