Senator Hill followed up hi
Brooklyn speech by q rousing appeal
in behalf Of tariff reform at Buffalo
on Saturday night. On the latter &C.
casion as on the former, he placed
special emphasis on the importance Of
thorough unity of action among the
democracy and the urgency Of subor.
dinating all factional differences to
the success of the party in the presi.
Dental canvass. The senator was
cordially welcomed to the former
home Of Mr.. Cleveland, and the meet
ing was distinguished by unusual en-
thusiasm. Thus Western New York
responds to the keynote which has
gone up from Manhattan Island and
Kings county, and seals the pledge Of
democratic victory in the great En-
pire state. Tammany has rallied to
the support Of the nominee Of the
Chicago convention, not because he
reflects the principles of that organi-
zation, but because party success
means more to that society than the
suicidal qualification of jealousy and
revenge. The support which it ten
ders Mr.. Cleveland is, practically
speaking, compulsory, but it will be
none the less effective for that reason.
In the west, Governor BOies, upon
whose GOODNESS and disahection the re-
publicans had centered large hopes,
has taken the stump for Cleveland and
Stevenson, and is doing yeOman SER
vice for the cause of tariff reform. If
the feeling Of disappointment which
he suffered over his defeat at Chicago
still remains, he is not permitting it
to assert itself in the way of inaction
or sullen refusal to participate in the
canvass. He is engaged in a Jealous
arraignment of the vicious policy of
protection in a section where the re-
volt againt unjust taxation is notably
active, and where the gospel of reform
receives an ardent welcome.
Even Mr.. Gray, Of Indiana, whose
vaulting ambition suffered such a
grievOus wound at Chicago, has made
a pilgrimage to Buzzard's Bay to court
the favor of the great leader who is
destined to shape the destinies of his
party for four more years. The In
diana statesman, with the cunning for
which he is noted, has concluded that
place inside of the breastworks is
preferable to an unprotected position
outside of the intrenchments, and he
is preparing the way to reap whatever
benefits he may be able to gain in the
expected event of democratic admin
i>tration after the 18th of next March.
And 80 the breaches which the fight
at Chicago left have been closed and
healed, and the democracy is to all
intent> and purposes united for the
final assault on the opposition.
The republican situation contrasts
wildly with the conditions which
presage the election of Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Blaine. who represents a powerful
element of opposition to the admins
tration, has not vet been placated and
there is no prospect of his reconcilia-
ton with Mr.. Harrison. In his letter
to Chairman Manley, of the republican
state central committee in Maine, he
avoided mention of the
president, and the tone of his commu-
nication was wholly perfunctory and
conveyed no pledge of the authors old
time sympathy with an enthusiasm
for the republican cause. The friends
and admirers of Mr.. Blaine fully
share his resentment toward the adj
ministration. They are doing little or
nothing to aid the reelection of MIR.
Harrison, and many of them Will feel
it to be an extreme test of their party
fealty to vote the republican ticket in
In Michigan, which is a doubtful
state this year, Gen. Alger is still out |
in the cold. His alleged influence
with the old soldiers has not been ex-
ercised in behalf of the administration. |
He is holding to the line of mastery |
inactivity and seems to be content to
allow the contest, so far as he is con-
cerned, to 60 by default.
Mr.. Plat has been drawn to the
support Of the president by the cohe-
i've power Of spoils. In the event of
Harrison's reelection, the New York
boss desires to be in position to farm
the federal patronage. He has respect
70 the recompense Of reward, but he
acks the stimulus to action which men
possess who cherish hearty affection
or their chieftain.
And 90, while the democrats have
'een getting together to the great dis
'om6ture Of their adversaries, the ad-
Of the republicans whom
t has offended are as widely separated
