instincts,- aspiratisnos, shrewdness, %
gacity, hopes, fears, Joys and sorrows
which crowd their, struggle for life and
VIZ therefore present for your suffrages
the name Of him, who, having enjoyed all
est boast in the sentiment: 81 am Dem
ocrat." However eminent may be his
post OF duty, he does not descend
from above, but I'm the roll-call Of the
Democracy he steps proudly from tho
ranks.
Do you ask for his credentialsf We
point you to the unbroken series OF VIC
tories by which he has rendered New
York a veritable Gibraltar to the Demo-
cracy of the Union. When with all the
power and patronage OF the Federal gov
ernment at his command, the distin.
guished ex- President lost the state of
New York by minority OF 1900, Gov
ernor Hill carried 1t by majority of over
Is, 900 votes, and at every election during
the past ten years he and his friends have
met with constantly increasing success.
No sane man can reject the force OF
of destiny 1t must outweigh all theory,
prophecy, promises and dreams.
The experiences OF the past must under
like circumstances forecast the events OF
the future and in this instance the con-
dition remain unchanged.
Samuel j. Tilden in the Legislature
Mr.. Hin Has Been Mayor
of the city of his home; he was elected
lieutenant governor by the largest vote
ever given to the candidate of any party
in the State of New York; he has been
twice elected its Governor and now rep
resents It in the Senate OF the United
States. His signally successful admins
tration of these great trusts establish his
capacity, and you will pardon the liberty
of friend when i say that the fact that
he Is poor man, fully and absolutely
devoted to the service of his party, Is
worth a thousand labored eulogies in
demonstrating the patriotism and integ-
rity of his character.
He is a cavalier rather than round
head. He Is firm adherent to the prin-
ciple of frugality and economy in public
affairs, 80 long characteristic OF his par
ty. From tie beginning OF his public
career, he has remained the faithful, ef-
fic!ent, untiring friend and servant OF
the iaboring classes, and they have recip-
rocated his devotion by loyalty and
support which has rendered him invin-
chile.
1t is because Mr.. Hill awakens party
feeling, agitates the contending forces to
the very dregs, excites the wrath OF the
Republicans and the enthusiasm OF the
Democrats that he is a
Healthy and Successful Candidate.
Politic nominations made to placate
Republicans, to pahder to men who es.
TEEN themselves better than their party
or to suckle and support the heartless
middle men Of the times are distasteful
to our people.
We present David B. Hill as the candi-
date OF an unterrified and aggressive
Democracy.
We bow to the venerable sage OF Illi-
nois or the rugged foe OF the tariff heroes
who stands by mis- side. We appreciate
the capacity which has organized victory
against the overwhelming odds in Penn
sylvans.
We are at home with our friends from
Indiana.
We fully sympathize with the battle
stained and indomitable leader in Ohio.
We watch with anxiety and affection the
wonderful power of organization and
triumph which characterizes the Senator
from Maryland; and our hearts burned
once more with the immortal fires OF the
sunny land, when he was prerented, who,
in the forms of his incompatible genius,
evoked from the humanity of his char
acter and the elevation of mis- oratory and
statesmanship, towers in the vanguard OF
our thickening hosts like pillar OF
cloud by day and of fire by night-the
Senator from Kentucky. Whomsoever
of these may be selected, or whatsoever
state may succeed in this convention, we
shall join in the exaltation and bear
our end to the uttermost in the coming
contest.
Hon. John X. Fellows
of New York seconded Mr.. Hills nomi-
alton. Among other things he said:
Senator Hill organizes victory. Give him
four years in the White House and there
would not be enough left of the Repub-
lican party to sweep up and carry to Its
grave. CLong continued applause and
laughter.) do not wonder that they
hate him. do not wonder that through
their press today, through the voices OF
their most prominent leaders, they inn
plore the Democratic convention to nom
mate some other than Hill. (Cries OF
"That's so" and Kisses, "No, No.w
