Senator's Record Eulogized.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 27.-An address has
been issued by the committee authorised by
q conference Of representative citizens OF
Atlanta, who met q few days ago TO consult
concerning the organization Of the Hill
forces 10 the state. The committees ad-
dress is as follows:
We deem the success Of the Democratic party
in the approaching presidential election Of tue
greatest Importance TO the country, and par
ticularly 70 the people of the south The re-
newed efforts OF the republicans in the last
sion OF congress to increase the expenses of the
government beyond all precedent, TO pass a
force bill for the subiugation OF the south and
for the purpose of ri ing their party power to
perpetnate it's plutocratic reign and Cypress each
state or section at its pleasure, their open en-
tend to build up great mo-
nopolies, TO give power to the privileged classes
to use the money OF this country In Legitimate
speculation to the detriment of legitimate bust
ness. thereby increasing the welfare OF the few
at the expense OF the many, makes II the duty
OF every patriotic democrat In the land to make
an earnests effort to overcome in. the APP
Gus aggression Of the Repu oican party.
We have observed with qualification the
splendid fghC made under the leadership OF
Hon David B. Hill OF New York to redeem the
Empire state from the domination OF this cor
rupt and INSCRIPTIONS party. He has
never suffered defeat and has been
recommended TO the democracy OF
the country at large by the unanimous voice
Of the democracy OF New York in convention
assembled as the man who can most assuredly
carry that state for the Democratic party in the
next presidential election. The record OF his
long public service commends him 20 the coun-
try as an able statesman, a sound financier, q
fearless official and an uncorruptible and IN
impeachable public servant. His exemplary
private life attests the character OF the man.
The most serious charge made against him is
he has not been, and cannot be
driven from his democratic allegiance
by republican trickery or denunciation He has
redeemed the great state of New York to the
democracy, and the most emphatic protest now
being made against him is inspired primarily
by this browning achievement OF his career as
governor. in which he was sustained by the
court OF appeals or his state. he has no align
ment In common with the Republican party
and is the eternal foe of republican authority,
and as such may be relied upon TO
turn the rascals out" should he be made
President. We have no harsh words for any
great democrat who asplres TO the presidency
for we believe that the policy of denunciation
of great democratic leaders is unwise, unjust
republicans. We will support earnestly and fear
lesSly whoever the national democratic conven-
tion nominates, but we believe that to insure
the success of the party we should take no
chances. We believe That Judgment and policy
alike demand that the standard bearer chosen
should be David B. Hill. IL is OF the utmost Inn
portance to the democracy and to the cause OF
| good government that it should carry New York
| in the next presidential election. To lose New
York assures republican success. In the next
electoral college there will be- 444 electors. One
hundred and ninety nine OF these, not including
the votes from Iowa and from Michigan come
from states certainly republican Concede TO
the democrats the votes Of the south, Indiana,
Connecticut, Iowa and New Jersey and votes
from Michigan, and the democratic candidate
without New YORK would have only 200 votes,
or ID less than the number necessary TO elect.
If the Democratic party carries New YORK sue
cess is assured. Without 1t failure is certain.
