and they reciprocated by loyalty and sup
port which rendered him invincibie It is
said If we make another nomination we
shall have calm election, our dear bust
ness interests will not be disturbed, and
people will be quite Indifferent about the
result. II 1t Indeed be true that politics
have sunk so low that no man can serve
his party earnestly without personal re-
proach, II the national convention, through
regular organization, has indeed become
pernicious and disreputable then the entire
system of popular government is a failure.
Nothing is more healthy than political agi-
tation and nothing more dangerous than
political stagnation.
1t is because Hill awaKens a party feel
ing, agitates the contending force to the
very dregs, excites the wrath OF Republi-
cans and the enthusiasm of Democrats that
he is g
HEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE.
Political nominations made to placate Re-
puDicans, to pander to men who esteem
themselves better than their party, or to
suckle ald support heartless middlemen
are dlstasteful to our people Not for q
single instant would we counsel and urge
the convention to nominate David B. Hill
were we not sure he can carry his state,
the vote of which in the electoral college
under the recent superintendent is abso-
lutely indispensable TO Democratic victory.
Another thought, Mr.. President, higher
and deeper than any mere matter of indi
vidual candidacy, must be Expressed before
my task is completed. The delegates from
New York were elected by the unanimous
vote OF the state convention, duly called
under authority, which has held undis-
puted sway since 1S4S. For no earthly
reason revolt was set afioat in
our state, an organization formed,
attack instigated upon US through an
unfriendly press; parcel of gentlemen
selected to come here to contest our seats
and nuliify our influence and thus a dis
was put upon a war footing toward the
regular state organization, the party of the
contesting delegation dismissed from your
doors and now you are asked not merely 10
defeat the choice OF our state for the nom
nation, but in addition to force upon US g
candidate from our own homes hostile to
our organization. Such is not the measure
OF courtesy and friendliness which we of
New York should think due under like cir
cumstsnces to represen tatives of sister
state. Our pulses Will throb in unison
with our brothers from any state whose
chosen son shall be presented to the con-
sideration of this convention. Whomso-
ever may be selected of the favorite sons
or whatsoever state may succeed in this
convention we shall join in exultation and
bear our part to the uttermost in the ensu-
ing contest. This is the spirit in which we
meet our brethren and this is the spirit in
which we expect to be reciprocated. In no
other way can harmony and dignity Of
states be fostered and preserved Dy this
conven ton.
In thus presenting and conceding the
force and strength of candidates Of the
various states, you will not understand US
as abating a single iot from our own pre-
ference or gainsaying in the slightest de-
gree
OUR UNCLoUDED CONVICTION

leader from our state
Contemplate the ensuing controversy
from whatever standpoint you may choose,
you cannot escape the fact that our state is
the battle-ground of the campaign. We ap-

fearlessly proclaim that Hill is the Butcher
who can drive the Republican chieftain to
st. Helena in November
At the conclusion of the speech the en-
tire New YORK delegation cheered Hill.
Hon. John Il. Fellows came forward
amid renewed cheers and addressed the
convention,
sEcoNDING HILLS NOMINATION.
He said with one unbroken voice, reaching
from the cataract upon the western coast
to the ocean which washes the eastern
shore, New York comes here demanding
the nomination Of Governor Hill for the
presidency. | am one OF those Democrats
who believe in relying upon Democratic
sentiment, faith and energy to win our
victory. We welcome with gratitude and
thankfulness accesslons from every quar-
ter, but when those who have acted with
the Republican party and who have come
to Us to protest they must lead and
guide and we must be but followers,
when they come to US. telling US il we
will give them certain name, they will
ally themselves with Us, and IL we give
any other, they will range themselves in
opposition, tell them it is not by such re-
wards that we seek their fellowship. Gov
enor Hill organizes victory. What he has
done in the state, he would do far the ma
ton Make him president. give him four
years in the White House and there would
not be enough left OF the Republican party
to sweep up and carry to it's grave. Long
continued laughter and applsuse.l
lido NOT WONDER THEY HATE HIM.
don't wonder that through their press
today they implore the Democratic conven-
tion to nominate some other than Hill
(someone in the gallery proposed three
cheers for Cleveland, which was given.)
Maligne abused, slandered, villitedd as
few men have been, this man to those who
know him stands before the country as he
stands in the affection of his friends, with
out the shallow of stain either upon his
personal or official career.
