HILL STIRS UP The YEOMEN.
BinghamtOn GTeetS Him With Great
Enthusiasm.

He Acknowledges the Magnanimity of
oIeveland's Friends in Wheeling Into
Line to Support Him-He Calls Atten-
ton to the Fact That He Represents
Principle and Has No Barrel to Help
Him in Carrying the State.
Binghamton, n. Y, Oct. 12-Senator
Hill faced here tonight. for his second at
tack upon the republican party, an au-
dience equally as enthusiastic even if
not quite as large, as that at Syracuse
last night. In addition to reiterating the
sentiments expressed at Syracuse, he
said: Il embrace this early opportunity
to express my sincere appreciation of the
loyal and cordial support which is being
given the state ticket by those who have
heretofore differed with me in regard to
party affairs, especially in the rural dis
trlcts of the state. With entire unanimi-
ty, those who have been generally regard
ed as the especial friends of the national
administration have earnestly wheeled
anto line, and are performing valiant SER
vice in behalf of the cause, and I
as unjust to myself if did
not take occasion to freely acknowledge
their magnanimity and generous action.
They seem to realize more keenly than do
some of our party friends in New York
and Brooklyn the absolute necessity of
party unity in the present emergency, in
volving as it does, the very existence of
the Democratic party itself. They arc
democrats as well as reformers, and be-
lieve in reformation within party lines.
They realize that a republican victory in
New York will strengthen the forces of
protection everywhere and greatly inn
peril all that has been gained and accom-
plished during the past two years for tho
cause of tariff reform. They are practical
men who are willing to sink preconceived
prejudces and personal preferences as 20
men in the struggle to secure substau-
tial advantages for the princi-
pies of the cause they advocate, and
they know that principles cannot triumph
except through the election of party candi-
dates. They appreciate the fact that a
political party cannot be built up in
day, and that ii is far easier to tear down
and destroy than it is to strengthen and
construct, and that it is an absolute
necessity for a political party to win
victories in order to carry out it's. reme-
dial measures unless it proposes to de-
teriorate into mere opposition party, eX-
pecting no success, and content to only
criticise and find fault with its adverse
ries. The democrats of the rural dis
tricts were never more united and earnest
than they are at this hour and afford an
example which might well be followed by
our party friends in the great metropolis
and it's sister city
In so far as the Lexow committee in
New York are honestly and impartially
endeavoring to discover police abuses, 1
bid them, God speed in their good work.
There has been no effort to embarrass
them upon the part of the police commits
sioners, the sheriff or any other official"
AS on yesterday a large part of Senator
HIS speech was devoted to an attack on
the recent constitutional convention, and
the apportonment amendment agreed tc
by it.
In concluding his remarks the senator
said: Fellow citizens, my reliance for
success in this campaign is in the justice
of our cause and upon the plain people of
the state, who have never deserted me in
the past. have no wealth to lavishly eX-
pend in aid of my candidacy-no banking
houses in London or New York to draw
upon; no immense corporate influence to
invoke, and no secret organizations to
promote my interests in the dark 1 sim
ply represent the principles to which the
Democratic party stands committed be-
fore the county, and, upon their merits
alone must / stand or fall"
