BuFFALo, N. T., Sept. 24.-The
Democratic campaign in western
New York was ushered in tonight
with a grand mass meeting at
Music hall. Senator Hill was the
magnet which drew together the
vast throng that crowded the inn

scriprion. Through a multitude
of cheering spectators, fanked by
a line of red fire, escaping a dis

aud advanced to the front of the
stage, amid cheers. After stating
that he was present to aid in the

thought if the Republicans carried
the coming election they would
