GRACE IS BACKING HILL.
The E1-MayOT Denies That His Faction
Will Cut the Senator.

The Adherants Of Wheeler Of Course
Profess Confidence That Their Candi-
date Will Poll Large Vote-The Hill
Men as Confident as Ever of the Sue
cess of Their Leader.
New York. oct. 30.-The declaration of
William R. Grace to-day that the state de-
mocracy organization is supporting Da-
vid B Hill, and is not responsible for any
Wheeler pastors, is received with incredu-
lily by many who still insist that secretly
that faction is in favor of Senator Hurs
defeat. and rolling up as large a vote as
possible for Wheeler The Wheeler ad-
herents to-day expressed much gratifica-
ton at the number and character of the
Cooper Union meeting last night, and are
confident that the democratic reform tick
at will make a good showing on election
day. Many anti-Hu democrats will, it is
generally believed vote straight for Nor
ton, taking the ground, as one Of them
remarked to-day, that vote for Wheeler
will only be half a vote against Senator
Hin, and that the Wheeler votes are in
tended to aid Morton anyway.
The Hin men are as confident as ever,
referring Win Satisfaction 10 the pei oOl4dl
fight their candidate is making and to the
enthusiasm with which ne is being receiv-
ed by his supporters. Most of them,
however, do not seek to conceal their dis
appointment or anger that his candidacy
has not received open and active encour-
agement from the national administra-
ton.
The republicans abate none of their
claims, and insist that, with the general
republican tendency this year and the
democratic detection from Hill, the latter
will be showed under. There has been
but little betting so far in the campaign,
but the reports of wagers al the stock
exchange and elsewhere show odds on
Morton not unfrequently of TO 1. Small
Ter odds are given on Strong against
Grant, the perfection Of the Tammany
organization throughout the city making
the supporters of the committee of sew
enty rather cautious about risking their
money, however, much they anticipate
great anti-Tammany uprising.
The Hin democrats were pleased to-
night by the announcement that Speaker
Crisp of the House of Representatives had
cancelled engagements in order to speak
in this city or Brooklyn They were also
much pleased by letter for Senator Hill
from ChaunCey +. Black, chairman of the
national league of democratic clubs.
The fact that Col. Strong made brief
speeches at q number of meetings this
evening in the downtown east side dis
trict, is regarded with much favor by the
practical politicians who are allied with
the committee of seventy, as they think
it will have a good effect on a class of
voters who always wish to see their can
didate and know something of his person
ality.
Senator Murphy passed much of to-day
at the democratic state headquarters in
conference with Mr.. Hinckley and others.
Richard Croker was another visitor.
James Kerr a clerk of the House of
Representatives received a dispatch from
Speaker Crisp dated at his home in Amer
icus, Ga, to-day in which the speaker
announced that at the request of the
state committee he win speak in New
York. In his dispatch he stated that so
much depends on New York that he had
cancelled all previous engagements and
would speak here on Saturday next
Speaker Crisp speaks in Birmingham,
Ala, on Thursday and will leave there
for New York Thursday night imme-
diately after the meeting The time and
place at which Mr. Crisp viii speak will
be announced later, but it is considered
probable that the meeting will be in
Brooklyn.
Rochester. n. Y, Oct. SO.-Csov. Flower
was up early this morning and put in a
long day of speech making. He spoke at
Auburn, Ithaca, Union Springs, Seneca
Falls, Geneva, Canandaigua, PittsfoTd and
this city. Large crowds greeted him
everywhere and his speeches, which were
mainly a discussion of the tariff question,
were enthusiastically received.
Amsterdam, n. Y, Oct. Ex-senator Hill
arrived here tonight at o'clock. At
O'Clock he was escorted to Nen's opera
house through streets crowded with peo-
pie and ablaze with red fire. The opera
house was crowded to the doors by 5000
people an hour before the meeting was
called to order.
His speech was an able discussion of the
issues of the campaign on the same lines
as the addresses heretofore delivered by
him. In giving his views on the tariff
question, Mr.. Hill took occasion to make
the following remarks: MIR. Mckinley
attempted to answer the challenge which
! made at Oswego last Friday night, re,
garding the ample protection of manufac.
tured articles under the new tariff, anC
he signally failed. I repeat what | sale
on that night, that he nor no other mar
can show where the tariff has been re
duced on q. single manufactured article
where there has not been retained Thereon
more than a sufficient duty to provide TO-
the difference in wages paid in the manu-
facture of such articles between this an,
4oreign countries.
"And ! most emphatically assert thai
no manufacturer in the United States car
reduce the wages of his employers anC
truthfully say that such reduction 1:
made necessary on account of the new
tariff" prolonged applause).
The senator received an ovation as h,
concluded. His remarks were closely lis
tened to and frequently interrupted by
applause.
Senator lin addressed an overfiowins
meeting in the Potter opera house, n.
there were over 1000 people who coulc
not gain admittance to the main meet
ing.
Senator Hill left here at midnight 70,
New York city.
