/ His Brooklyn Speech. Which Is De-
clared to BE the Greatest lie Has Ever
Made-No "Suiking In His Tent"
Senator Hill summons every Demo-
rrat to rally to the support of Cleveland
and Stevenson. The reasons he gives
for their election and for the ascendancy
of Democratic principles are conclusive
and binding. and if there be any man
calling himself Democrat and friend
II New Works senator who now falters
in obedience to that summons let him
"trip his disguise and renounce fealty to
the party and the man at the same time.
The Democracy of New York state are
united for Cleveland and Stevenson

HILL 5 MOST MASTERLY EFFORT.
This latest speech strikes US as the
most mastery one ever delivered by
Senator Hill. 1t is forcible onslaught
On protection, well calculated to give as
much anxiety to the Republicans as it
must encouragement to the Democrats
New York Herald.
RECKONED WITHOUT THEIR HOST.
The Republicans have depended upon
Democratic treacEery in New York for
tlarrisons success, but they have
reckoned without their host. They will
find to their sorrow that where the VIC
torious Democracy, represented by lead
ers like Hill, Murphy, Sheehan, Croker
and Mclaughlin. is the strongest Cleve-
| lands majorities will be relatively the
Iargest.-Troy Press.
GRIEvOUS ERROR.
The senator's appearance thus early
in the fight will be very disagreeable to
our Republican brethren. They try to
console themselves by predicting that it
will be his last appearance. But in this,
as in many other matters relating to the
Democratic campaign, these partisan
prophets will find themselves deep in
error Buffalo Courier.
HILLS POSITION CLEARLY DEFINED.
Senator Hill has defined his position.
He has come out flat footed in behalf of
the Democratic ticket. He declares
that it should receive the support of
every Democrat.-Boston Herald.
WHOLESALE AND COMMENDABLE ADVICE.
In his speech at the Democratic rati-
ication meeting in Brooklyn Senator
Hill planted himself firmly upon the
platform of the Chicago convention and
declared his purpose to support its NOM
inee. Il am Democrat" said the SEN
ator in his well known speech in Brook
Ign in 1880. He now amends that say
ing by adding, And | am a Democrat
still" Now that the national convention
Of the Democracy has spoken, it is the
duty of every Democrat, the senator
holds, to accept its decision with loyal
acquiescence." This is wholesome ad-
vice aud is to he commended.-Balt

THE WAY TO VICTORY MADE PLAIN.
IL tho measured and weighty utter
inces of Senator Hill are to be accepted
as true indications of the spirit Animal
ing the New York Democracy the
friends Of Mr.. Harrison in that state
have a task before them compared with
which the struggle of 1888 was mere
ch;ld's play. Burying all resentment
and resolutely sitting all manifestations
Of disappointment, Senator Hill rises to
the occasion and sets an example of
fealty TO Democratic principles which
his political associates and followers
should eagerly emulate. Il was Dem
ocrat before the Chicago convention and
| am a Democrat STILL" is his simple
party creed. concerning which there can
DO neither confusion nor error. With
the New York Democracy united and
standing shoulder to shoulder for Cleve-
land, defeat in the election would seem
to be impossible. Senator Hills manly
deliverance has made the way of victory
plain. Record.
NO SU1.KING IN HIS TENT.
Those who have expected or hoped
that Senator Hill would sulk in his tent
and give the Democratic ticket merely
perfunctory support will be disappoint-
ed upon reading the speech he made at
Brooklyn. While Mr.. Hill doubtless
was sorely disappointed at the action of
the Chicago convention, every line Of
his speech breathes devotion to the prin-
ciples and candidates Of the party, and
rs a whole it is IN earnest appeal to
Democrats of every shade Of opinion to
present solid front to their political op-
ponents, sinking all personal preferences
and fractional prejudices.-Philadelph
Times.
A NoTEw GRITTY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION.
No public address ever made by the
senator from New York will be read
with more interest than this Brooklyn
speech, made by Democrat to o stanch-
ly Democratic audience. 1t is in truth
noteworthy contribution to the oratory
OF this campaign. For its able argu- !
ment showing the necessity of political
organizations. its sharp characterization !
Of guerrilla warfare in our contests, and .
Its brilliant contrast of Democracy with
the party Of privilege and centraliza-
ton. Senator Hills Brooklyn speech is
certain to command great attention. !
Nor can it fail to exert widespread in
auence for the cause to which the orator
has so eloquently affirmed his loyalty
