When Senator Hill and the other
speakers entered the theater they were
greeted most enthusiastically the ap-
plause lasting until the party had
mounted the stage and taken their
seats. Chairman Thomas Z. Pearsall,
Of the campaign committee, called the
assemblage TO order in short speech.
the most striking portion Of which was
this: Democrats everywhere in the
state Of New York are at peace among
themselves and never more thoroughly
united than they are at this hour. Let
all Democrats JOIN in making the ma
jority OF Cleveland and Stevenson the
largest ever given in Kings county"
Congressman w. G. Coombs was then
introduced as the chairman OF the even
ing. Mr.. Coombs, after a few remarks,
presented Senator David 3. Hill, with
the words:
He Is a Democrat,
as the first speaker of the evening.
Cries OF ''Hill, Hillr' here greeted him,
and he sat down while the senator arose
the audience showered applause upon
him. The senator's voice was low and
calm as he began. but gradually he
warmed up and before a minute had
passed he had uttered phrase that car
Tied wild applause with it. This was
Fhen he said that before the Democratic
sational convention al Chicago he was
Democrat and was a Democrat still.
The senator spoke substantially as
follows:
Il am reminded of the fact that ii was
fn this edifce upon a memorable occa-
sion in 1855 that had the honor of eX-
pressing to the intrepid Democracy of

Umphs and its disappointments. The
wisdom Of its action is not now to be

should cease, The spirit of resentment
should be abandoned, state pride should
be subordinated 10 the general good:
real or fancied grievances should be
dismissed, personal ambition should be
sacrificed and individual dissppoint-

emergency, which demands from US all
the exhibition or a widespread and lofty
patriotism.
Permit me to repeat what l had the
honor Of expressing TO the Tammany
society on the 4th of July last before
the representatives of our national
convention had scarcely returned
10 their homes, as follows: Our
course at the present time is plain. In
the approaching struggle the Democracy
OF New York should present a solid
front 10 the common enemy. Loyalty
tODsmocrauc principles and to regularly
nominated candidates is the supreme
duty Of the hour
Il Teiterate these sentiments now.
We are entering upon the twenty-sev-
enth presidential election since the or
ganlZation Of our government. The
good citizen desirous Of discharging his
full duty in this crisis, according to his
conscience and his judgment, uninflu-
enced by selfish considerations, will dis
cover two great parties arrayed against
each other, struggling for the control of
the government and appealing to the
people for their suffrages.H
