! At Pulaski and Wytheville. largo
crowds wcre also assembled and at each
place Senator Hills appearance on tho
platform was tho signal for great en-
thusiasm.
Z At Glade Springs aud Abingdon large
crowds wore assembled and Senator
Hill spoke briefly, but the chief demon.
stration OF the afternoon was at Bris-
tol, city OF 5000 inhabitants, situated
OH the Virginia and Tennessee line.
Several thousand people were assem-
bled horc. hE& q
Mr.. Hill spoke as follows:
"FELLow CiTIZENs:--I thank you for
this kind reception. When l view this
vast crowd l realiz, that this country
is growing. never did take much
stock. in Mr. Porters census and I don't
know how much population he gives
this city, but am inclined to think
you ought to have now count OF in
habitants. [ Cheers.
81 congratulate you upon your growth.
In this vast audience there arc un-
doubtedly citizens OF all parties, but 1
assume that the greater portion belong
to the grand old Democratic organi-
2ation to which l am proud to belong.
About q year ago you gave welcome
grand and magnificent to the President
of our country. 1t was fitting and
proper that he should have such q
welcome at the hands OF the citizens OF
this town, not only hccauso OF his high
character, but because of exalted place
which he occupies by tho sutrrages OF
tho American people. Applause.l
."rhis pamphlet which I hold in my
hand is headed Come south, young
man.. Laughter. To-day l have i'm
agined myself to DO a young man, and
I'm taking tho advice which this circu-
lar gives, and I'm now on my way south.
Applause. l observe that there has
been printed on this pamphlet por-
tion Of q speech OF President Har-
rison, which was delivered hero ut
the time OF the reception to
which referred. Permit me to quote
low sentences from that speech. IIc
said: "What ronders US secure in the
market OF our own great population
from successful competition in the mar.
kots Of the world? What hinders our
people OF possessing every clement Of
material wealth and endowed with in
ventive genius unsurpassed from again
upon the merchant marine flying the
flag OF our country and carrying its
commerce into every sea and every
port" ..5
Permit mo to say to the President
and his party that can tell them what
it is to hinder. 1t is the Republican
legislation OF the last twenty-five or
thirty years; the legislation which has
built up the barriers to q greater COM
mcrce.
IIe speaks OF the desirability Of hay
ing our merchant marine flying the flag
of our common country everywhere.
beg to remind him that in the good old
days OF Democratic rule the flag OF our
country used to fly on the merchant
marino everywhere through the globe,
and it is only the narrow re-
strictivo partisan policy OF the party
now in power that has prevented our
commerce from thus spreading around
the globe. l trust the time will come
when our commerce will be freer than
it is now. l trust tho time will come
whcM'the barriers of legislation which
restrict and hamper our industries and
embarrass your business will beremovcd.
That time will come, in my judgment,
when we shall have that Democratic
victory next fall, for which We are all
now praying. [Checrs.

ultant crowd. Tho chairman OF the
