ness Mems Democratic Association Of this
city.
A few minutes before O'Clock a hand
clapping on the east side of the hall drew
attention there. Immediately it was
known that Senator Fiji was approaching
the platform. The hand-clspping gave
place to wild shout of Hill" The audi,
ence stood up as one man and as the
democratic candidate for governor came
IN view a shout went up that was ear
splitting. Men stood in their seats wav-
ing their hats, flags, handkerchiefs and
everything that could be waved, shouting
pounding and stamping the while. The
audience was wild with enthusiasm and
could not be shut of. Meanwhile Sena-
tor Hill stood pale and overcome by the
ovation, bowling his acknowledgements.
FINALLY the applause, which had worn
itself hoarse, ceased. Col. John Mc-Aner-
ney. the chairman of the meeting, made
a few appropriate remarks, after which
the list Of viee-presidents and secretaries
was read.
Resolutions were then adopted indorsing
the platform of the Saratoga convention
and its nominations.
Frederick r. Coudert was then intro
duced, and made a brief speech, which
he closed by calling for harmony.
Col McAnerney then introduced Sena-
tor Hill. The applause at Senator HIS
entrance was great, but the whirlwind
that greeted him as he stepped forward
TO speak was beyond description. At last
a lull came, and Senator Hill said in part:
desire at the outset of my remarks
tonight to express my gratitude towards
those in the party who have heretofore
differed with me in regard to the inter
party affairs, who are generally recorded
as the especial friends of the national ad-
ministration, and who are row zealously
supporting the whole democratic ticket in
this campaign (Applause). Their loyal
support, amounting to entire unan-
unity, at least in the interior
OF the state is much
appreciated by me, and I embrace this
fitting opportunity of acknowledging my
obligations to them. 1t is my warmest de-
fire to harmonize and build up and
strengthen the democratic party of the
state and in the nation, TO the end that it
may be strong and powerful, and capable
of subscribing the best interests of the peo-
pie. You may rest assured that 1 have no
other ambition than this, despite what
friends or enemies may say to the con-
trary. bear no malice toward those who
think they cannot consistently or con-
scientiously support me in this campaign.
With little or no personal feeling as to the
result, 1 regret that bolts or volts
aimed at me will injure the
party much more than myself, and
in a spirit of true magnanimity
1 am prepared to forgive my enemies,
prosecutors and sIanderers. applause.
propose to discuss politics, not personal
issues; the questions of the hour, and not
the questions of the past. With these
preliminary remarks l hasten on to dis
cuss what I consider are some of the
living questions of the hour to which
alluded"
From this point on Mr. Hill delivered
substantially the same speech as he made
in Brooklyn last night.
James Lindsay Gordon next addressed
the meeting. He spoke briefly. This was
the last speech of the evening

ing them with disorderly conduct. and

Melted q Fortune.

Waycross. Ga, Oct 24--seibe King, the
Waycross bunko-steerer, who was tried
In Philadelphia yesterday on the charge
of conspiracy with the green goods men,
is said 10 be a land shark, and had he
not been arrested. q scheme that he had
on foot would probably have brought him
a round $4,000 In cash.
He has represented himself to an En-
glish capitalist as being a large land
owner in this section, and by his shrewd-
to purchase a certain tract OF land in
Charlton county, alleged to contain over
600 acres of fine timber and farming
land
King was aided In his scheme by his
friend Johnson, who made an imaginary
survey OF the alleged property, which
looked well on paper.
King showed the map TO the Morning
News correspondent, and remarked that
there would be thousands In 1t for him
II nothing prevented him from giving a
satisfactory title to the property.
The map showed the lower part Of South
Georgia and part of Florida. 1t showed
an Imaginary survey OF the alleged lands.
A description Of the land, showing it's
boundaries in studied detail. was given.
The Englishman, by referring to an or
binary map OF Georgia, could have readily
recognized the supposed tract Of land as
being the great Okennokee swamp
Kings idea was to make a successful
raid on the green goods men while a
title 70 the land was being prepared.
II was a gigantic scheme and had II
succeeded the people would have had to
suffer the censure OF a duped English
capitalist.

NO COMPROMISE IN GOTHAM.
Grace and the Tammany Men Unable to
Reach an Agreement.


New York, Oct 24.-The Evening Sun
says one of the leaders of Tammany Hall
said this afternoon that all negotiations
looking to a compromise with the Grace
democracy on candidates for congress
were Oft and that the Tammany men
would take part in no more conferences.
No other meeting of the conference
committees has been called Mr.. Grace
and the Tammany leaders are so wide
apart, it is said, that there is no posi-
bility of their getting together. One of
the Tammany leaders said this afternoon:
I'VE went into negotiations in good faith
willing to make concessions in the inter
est of harmony. The matter soon took
such turn that we quit in disgust. We
could not for a moment think of yield
ing to the demands Of Grace and his men.
l regard the whole matter as settled and
our candidates will all remain in the
field"
New York, Oct "a, II 80 p. m.-With
President Cleveland a guest of DR.. Bry-
ant at 81 West Both street, eX-President
Harrison at Fifth Avenue hotel, ex-Vice
President Morton occupying a suite in an
adjoining hail. and Senator Hill at the
Park Avenue hotel, politics very naturally
have been the principal topic discussed in
the hotels, cafes and Hobbies this evening
The chief interest is in the outcome of the
Grace-Tammany matter, which must be
settled some way by midnight, all the
notifications must be filed by that hour
in order to have the names printed upon
the official ballots. All day long Senator
Faulkner, who had the congressional cam
paign intrusted to him by the national
democratic committee, received callers in
connection with the harmony arrange
ments in Kings county and New York city.
Messrs. Bell and Shepard spent an hour
with Senator Faulkner during the after
noon Maj Hinckley said at o'clock that
he still entertained hopes of harmony, tUt
it was more than apparent from his ma-l-
ner and tone that he had little if any con-
fidence in a successful outcome.
An attempt was made to learn whether
President Cleveland intended to register
but it proved futile.
1t was said at the democratic state
headquarters late tonight that no result
had been reached by Senator Faulkner in
his attempt to harmonic the Bell and
Shepard democratic factions in Kings
county No conference was held up to a
late hour tonight on either the Kings
county or New York congressional ticket.
A final attempt will be made to settle both
questions tomorrow.
