CAsAypAIGuA, N. Y, November 3.-lo-
day vas by long odds the greatest day OF
the Kind Canandaigua or Ontario county
has ever seen. The occasion which drew
to the town thousands of people from the
adjoining counties was an address oy
David Bennett Hill. A conservative estl-
mate. places the number of people who
gathered to-day from out of town at 4,5O6.
A large open-air stand had been construct
ed in front Of the courthouse. but the
day was cold and rainy and Senator Hill
spoke in the Opera-House.
THE SENATOR'S SPEECH.
judge Rice introduced the Senator. who
spoke as follows:
The campaign of 1892 is drawing TO
close. A few more days Of discussion and
labor and the contest Will be ended. III
has not been a campaign of much erthu-
siasm on either side. Ii has not been q
campaign of buster, at least on the Demo
cratic side. The issues have been pre-
seuted to the intelligent, sober judgment
of the American people, and by their de-
llberate decision we Will cOntehtedly
abide.
THE CAMPAIGN DECENT.
Il desire TO say that it is to the credit
parties that the campaign has been decent
and respectable. There has been no con-
siderable amount of personal abuse or
vituperation. | am not here to say that
our opponents have discussed the ISSUES
fairly alwavs. but the public men OF the
two great parties have in the main been
actuated by fairness. ! hope this condl-
tion Of things will always prevail. There
will always be two parties. for 1t is neces-
sary to the welfare Of the government that
II should be so. But If men must differ II
is better that they should differ honestly
and decently. and leave the result 10 the
judgment OF the people.
THE CANDIDATES.
SO far a. the two candidates are con-
cerned both havo served the people as
President Of the republic and both are
endowed with honesty. capacity, and in
telligence. The people are familiar with
their lives and public services. II is a
pleasure to say that while we believe that
the election of our candidate will best
serve the interests of the people, yet the
country will not be discredited whatever
the result may be.
THE TIGER AND WILD CATS.
The issues are alike in some respects
and different IN others. Last fall our Re.
publican friends were much worried over
what they called the Iammany Tiger

greatly disturbed about Democratic wild
cats. They are always in fear OF some
imaginary danger. According to them
there will be some great difficulty
resulting If the Democrats succeed
/ racollect, and Won recollect, that
back in 1891 they said that in the
event Of Democratic success the rebel wal
debt would be paid, the Federal deb
would be repudiated, slavery would be n
stored, and our industries paralyzed
there would be no peace at home or WITT
foreign nations. The Democratic cause
triumphed and all their prophecies CANE
TO naught, and instead of the country be
ing harmed we had one of the best admin
| istrations we ever had.
TIE CLEVELAND ADMINISTRATION.
The personal honesty Of the gentleman
who occupied the presidential chair rob-
| Grover Cleveland-has never been Gues
| toned by hls bitterest enemies. His al
ministration was credltable 10 the country
His administration was honored with peac,
! at home and abroad. IL was dIgnlhed auC
honorable. 1t did not cringe before mo
nopolies. but sought 10 commend itself e
| the sober Judgment of the people. In tn
| light of the record Of that administrator
YOU need not be disturbed by all the dir
| predictions OF our adyersaries. You lie
will let them go in one ear and out th
| other.
lie then proceeded 10 discuss the sub
| iect OF Federal taxation. He gave grea
| credit TO the last Democratic adminlstra
ton for whas it accomplished in the d!rec
| tion Of reform, and accused the Rspubli
cans of seifshneSs and greed.
TIE PRESENT DUTY.
In conclusion Mr.. Hill said You q

/ paign to eulogize our candidates. Tn
! time is past for that. II is also past 70

any grievance | would not take this tim
to refer to 1t. The thing 10 do now is t
| close ranks and march forward to victory.
