BUFFALO, Nov. 4.-Seuator David B. Hill ar.
rived here this morning to fulfil an engage
| ment to deliver an address to the Democrats
| OF Buffalo. The Senator was to have spok er
Mt the mass meeting last Monday night. bu;
was prevented from being present hy reason
OF the necessity for his presence in the Senate
at Washington until after tho Silver Repeal
| bill had been disposed OF. In an interview this
| morning with the representative OF the United
Press. Senator Hill WAS asked:
| What are the prospects this fall OF the
respective political parties In this State2"
Il believe the Democrats will elect their
whole State ticket and carry the Legislature
| besides. OF course am not as familiar with
| the details Of the campaign this year as usual.
as official duties have detained mo at Wash
| ington. but I have confidence In those In
| charge. and they assure me that our prospects
are excellent. We are going to win on the
HON estretch.' The Republicans always win in
the fore part OF a cam paiRn and We in the latter
part and on election day"
| is there much opposition to Judge May
nard2'
There Is considerable 'clamor'-that is all.
The whole Republican fight is directed upon
| him. The rest Of the Democratic ticket Is
| practically elected now. The Republicans
| have abandoned their whole ticket except
| Bartlett"
| "Will Judge Maynard receive any Repub-
! lican support"
"Yes-from thousands OF Republicans who
| like fair play and are opposed to campaign Of
cnlumny and SANDER. He has hosts OF friends
In both parties who are working for him like
beavers IIe will win."
There were quito number OF nominations
made by the President which were not con-
frmed by the Senate. Why was that p
Some OF them came In rather late for ac-
ton: others required further consideration.
do not care to say more upon that subject at
this time. will add. however. that It Is like
ly that every Democrat whose name has been
sent to the Senate will be confirmed II he 10y
ally supports the regular Democratic ticket
this fall. No others have any claim upon the
party"
Is the Democratic party reasonably har-
monlous throughout the State?"
Yes. The necessity OF victory Is apparent to
all. and everybody is getting In line"
DO you expect better times now that tho
Silver bill has been rerealedr'
The times will gradually improve. There
Is no reason why there should not be a renewal
OF prosperity"
Twill the Senate rules be changed at the
next session."
Il hope so. The Senate moves slowly. how
ever. Tho necessity Of expediting public
business is being recognized by many Sena-
tors heretofore opposed to change. and
think there Is a reasonable prospect of an
amendment OF existing rules"
