SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. Ex-senator
David Bennett Hill sounded the keynote
0t his campaign for governor tonight in
:his city. and with his address opened a
partisan battle that promises to be his
torcal in the annals of state politics.
The Alhambra rink, where Democrats
and Republicans alike have sounded
the tocsin of political battle, was the
scene of the opening of warfare. The
first political meeting that ever named
Senator Hill for an office assembled
heard Senator Hill speak tonight, and
half as many more were unable to gam
admission. The American flag was
very much in evidence as decoration,
and good many of the fair sex
jent their presence to the Occa-
sion. The doors were opened at
Z o'clock, and within half an
hour the hall and platform had been
illed to repletion. The band amused
the crowd until a few minutes of s
O'Clock, and then there was an uproar, a
rising IN seats and great enthusiasm. as
Senator Hill, dressed in plain frock
coat and black tie. stepped upon the
platform. He was the usual cool, im-
passive statesman, and to the storm of
applause made but slight inclination
sf his bead. " hen the cheers and
applause had subsided and the vast
audience had again seated itself, County
Committee Chairman Yale stepped to
the front of the platform, and said that
ha haH NIL D., tGa
tee to name as chairman Hon. Frederick
j. Mowry, who introduced Senator Hill.
When his name was mentioned. the
senator stepped to the front, and
stood with his hand on the table, facing
his audience. For some minutes he
waited, while the audience cheered and
then cheered again, and then he began
his remarks. He was listened to with
great attention, but was frequently
interrupted with most vociferous ap-
plause.
He spoke in a clear, concise and con-
vincing way, and held his audience
until the last word. His illusions to
Seymour, Cleveland, Flower and the A.
7. 4. issue caused tumultuouS applause.
His remarks III full follow:

know of no more appropriate place
in which to open the present campaign
than before the united Democracy of
Onondaga county. IApplause.l
Although largely in the minority, you
have never been dismayed by local
defeats nor discouraged by adverse
circumstances, n0c intimidated by the
boasts of our aGversaries; but, with a
firm adherence TO the true principles of
government in which you sincerely
believed, you have for years maintained
your party organization intact. and are
ever ready for the contest with the
common enemy.
1t is with pleasure that ] recall my
frst nomination for state office occurred
IN the city of Syracuse, and that during
all my political career the Democracy
of this city has been among my most
earnest supporters, from the time OF
my candidacy for the lieutenant gov
eInorship in 1882 through all the vicis-
situdes of politics up tolthis hour; and
while many of you have other prefer
ences and have frankly expressed them
as you had perfect right to do. am
Rratifed to say that your opposition ha:
ALWAYS been manly and honorable, anc
within party lines. l recognize the
right of every Democrat, prior to tn,
fnal nomination of a candidate, to op-
pose, criticise and defeat such candi
dacy, and such privilege or the propriety
OF lis exercise in any instance has never
been questioned by me. l am also re
g. minded that this county was the birth
place of that distinguished and sterling
Democrat and statesman, Horatio Sey
pour Lapplausel, from whose lips first
learned the lessons of true Democracy
and that il was also the boyhood home
for many years of the present Demo
cratic president OF the United States
Grover Cleveland loud applausel
where, struggling with honest poverty
he acquired those habits and principle,
of economy which have always beer
distinguishing features of his officia
administrations in state and nation
and. .rec0!lecting all these circumstances
1t was deemed most fitting that the frs
words in behalf of Democratic princi
pies should lie uttered upon the sol
rendered interesting by such pieasap
memories.
