HILL NAMED
When New York was reached in the call
William @. Dewitt took the platform and
said:
MIR. President and fellow delegates: BY the
favor OF my colleagues have now the high
honor to speak the voice OF the State OF New
York III this council Of the Democracy OF the
nation. Our mai -stic commonwealth needs no
both from the ocean and IRON the
iakes-vast arsenal OF thought through
whose press the Intelligence OF the
world is gathered and scattered throughout
the land; joined to the agricultural region by
the fertile valleys OF the Hudson, the Mohawk
and the GeneSse, the State of New York IL none
the less paramount i'll our political than our
national affairs. Her great city Is the hfegivlns
heart OF the Democratic party. Her electoral
vote is the keystone Of the federal arch upon
which we place our hopes In her present Eela-
tions with the Democratic party of the nation

while stands the coliseum. Rome shall stand;
When falls the coliseum Rome shall fall;
And when Rome fals-the world"
III view Of this critical and important posi-
tion occupied by our state, Ill the impending
contest take great pride while speaking for its
our past triumphs. In 1885 We carried New
York by IL 1874 ma ajority. i'll 1856 by 1897, i'll
1887 by 1907, in 1888 by 1871, in 1889 by

The suprt me evil OF our age is the use OF the

SAME SPIRIT OF RAPINE

tered privileges, effects the same results. OF the
four Thousand milonaries in the country, one

all equal number through the corporations.
Out OF these all the features of an artist

the place OF the plain earnest people OF former

Our people want leader filled with the aspi-

| and happiness. We therefore present for your

all the honors OF our state still finds his highest

| We present David b. Hill as the candidate 0t
an unt9rrifed and aggressive Democracy. His

| We appreciate the responsibility of ourposition.
