PRINCIPLES ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
This is a time wheu every man In our
raaks must come To the front. A la time
OF War the women and children manned tie
rarnpart>, now the Democrats OF the state
demand that you shall lead once more TO
success, the Democratic party OF which
you are member aud which stands now
upon TIE same principles that ls has rep
resented for the past one hundred years.
We appeal To you now TO come forward
and lead u In our hour of difficulty aud
danger as you ied Us In our hour of vic
tory. We ask you 10 head Us once more
and inspire tGe enthusiasm which has be-
Tore led u To victory before the hrst blow
Dad been struck"
Senator Hall. in accepting the nomins-
tiou, said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen OF ths
committee: For the courteous manner IN
which you have formally aotified me OF
the recent action of the Democratic cou-
venton, i Can only express nay siacere
thanks. lt Is unnecessary for me ~ re-
iterate TO you, who were present at that
gathering. that the nomination was a.
unexpected by me as il was unsought aud
undesired.
DEMOCRATIC EXISTESCE Is INVOLVED
Seven of the best yssrs OF my life vera
devoted To the service OF the state in tho
discharge of the high and responsible du-
ties OF The great offics OF its chief execu-
i've, and had never expected por intended
to resume its tremendous burdens again

position. yet cannot but feel that person.

10 gain by the contest To which you sum
moa me. The gubcrnatorlal Office has no
Iouger any attractions for me- aud person
ally | preferred to remain in the senate.
where the duties were gradually becoming
more couxenlal To my tastes. aud where
believed could more acceptably serve ths
Interests of this great state.
But personal considerations must hava
no weight where pahlic duty is concerned
The Democratic party. especially In this
state, Is confronted with q great crisis
which substantially involves its sxistsnc,
ss political organization. Our op-
ponents. taking advantage OF their tenn
porsry aud accidental supremacy in the
legislature. aud In the constitutional con-
ventioD, are seeking To fasteu upoa tho
people OF the state "a systsm of Apporti ion-
ment or representation which virtually
gives the Republicans control OF the
legislative department. Of the state for
twenty years To ocome-ssystem based upon
territorial area rather than population
founded upon Injustice and Inequality and
designed TO enable the minority rather
than the majority OF people to control the
state. The very life ot our party IL at
stake. Besides the control Of the next
the election here.
HILL MEANS TO BE GRATEFUL
THE Democratic convention, having.
against my protest, selected me To lead la
such q crisis. aud although exceedingly
regret its action. aud especially regret mv
verdict was not adopted In regard 10
representation IN the convention Itself.
aud while l have sought during the pass
week. ss personal aud intimate
political friends well know, rot
only TO heal and barmonlss
political fzeiional differences, but 10 secure
some other candidate who would be &C.
ceptabls 10 every one. in whose favor (
wouid gladly retire, but which has not
proved feasible. and rscollectlng that the
Democratic party Of this state has honorsd
me Ia the past when solicited its favor "a
tho days of its sunshine aud prosp-rity.i
cannot desert II now ia the honr Of ita dsa-
.er and ia this great emergency
1t u = time when personal sacrifices arc
demanded, when individual pr.fsrencef
must be subOrdinsted 20 the general good,
and when there must be exhibited a loftD
