David b. Hill has denounced President
Cleveland. assailed the tariff principle OF
the democratic party. condemned income
taxes and objected to free raw materials.

party it is relief to be certain that Hill.

For Senator David 5. Hill there is no
excuse for the WantOnness Of this treaCh-
cry, nor for the corrupt political anlbi-
ton, selfishness and greed in which it
