JACKSON, Miss, March Ex-senator Hill
spoke in the hall of the house of repre-.
sentatives yesterday. Early in the after
noon the galleries had been filled with
colored men, but they were cleared out by
police and room was made for white men
and for the ladies of Jackson. Some of
the wives of members were admitted to
the floor OF the house. The house was

warm praise for his services to the Demo-

He comes to us-GOvcrnor Stone said-un-
J., disguised as representative of the great ma
tfonal Democracy. A man endowed with
every requirement and accomplishment neces-
| sary to make him great leader of parties and
| of men. A man who has already been crowned
| with civic laurels such as few men of his years
| have ever worn. A man who, so far as his own
state is concerned, has filed the measure of
public honor. The isms and schisms which
threaten disruption of the great Democratic
party OF today find no place in his political
| creed, and those who follow his lead will find
themselves moving steadily on in the ranks of
| and abreast with the great conservative De-
| mocracy.
The New York Senator's Speech,
| When the applause subsidized Senator
Hill thanked the legislature for the
honor it had done him, and then said that
| scarcely ever till November two years ago
and November next did popular elections
put in issue such extreme dangers or so
| large n OeIlNerancc. Inc ground upon
which the Democrats of the state of New
York have taken their stand is the whole
Democratic faith and tradition-not some
corner of it merely, not some splinter of it
merely, but the whole. This is the ground
upon would see the Democrats of the
state of Mississippi with all Democrats OF
the north, south, east and west, both of
the regular organization and the Farm
er's Alliance, unite and take their stand in
the approaching contest.

"Other duties for another day. For, like
the victory of Jefferson, this Union, this
victory will close a chapter of history; will
doom to final disintegration degraded
party, and will fix the direction of our po-
litical progress for some decades in the
century to come. The Demo
cratic party is stronger than any man OF
set of men. No man is ever indispensa-
bic to its success, for its strength is with
the people; it is greater and more power.
full than any class, however numerous.
