VIII Not Cripple Industry.
at may be safely asserted that the
new law will not cripple or embarrass
a single industry in the land, nor
throw out of employment single
workingman nor unduly stimulate over
production, on the other hand, nor ex-
orbitant importations on the other.
Fellow Democrats of the Empire
State and of the country, the duty Of
the hour is not rash criticism of the
Democratic leaders, or Democratic
measures, not mutual recriminationS,
nor conflicting councils, but it is
time for conciliation, for unity of pur-
pose, for aggressive campaign. The
control of both legislative departments
of the government is at stake in the
coming election.
Inter-party strife must now cease,
and our attacks be reserved for the
foes who are already forming their
lines of battle against US. Democratic
national and state administrations may
alike be Loyalty supported
A Clean Administration.
''The administration of President
Cleveland has been clean-handed, eco
nomical, painstal5ing and patriotic. The
various departments of the national
government have been conducted with
success, and the Democratic party, as
a whole, is entitled to the confidence of
the masses of the people whose inter-
ests it endeavored faithfully to serve.
'fThe administration of our state
government under Democratic auspices
has merited the public confidence. We
have given to the state wise laws, we
have reformed abuses, we have aided
the cause of labor and we have con-
tributed largely to the added greatness,
prosperity and welfare of our grand
old commonwealth.
1.-The Democratic party stands in this
state as it has ever stood, for that re-
ligiGus liberty which is guaranteed by
our constitution. and arraign the Re-
publican party for its covert sympathy
with and encoura cement of the pro-
scriptive spirit which attempts to set
up a religious test as qualification
for official preferment in this land of
the free. and which is propagated by
certain political organization which
every fair-minded man, but which the
Republican state convention last week
distinctly refused. though earnestly
asked to condemn"
Senator Hill declared that Governor
Flower was among the greatest gov
errors New York state has ever had,
and predicted Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan. whom he designated as
young and brilliant" had dazzling
future.
High and Patriotic Motives.
The senator concluded as follows:
Sinking every prejudice, subordinatng
every selfish consideration, actuated
only by high and patriotic motives, re-
al:zing how much is at stake to be won
or lost, mindful of the grand traditions,
which belong to the party of Jefferson,
Jackson and Tilden, knowing a united
Democracy in this state means an old
fashioned Democratic triumph, let US
bllcl.se on our armor and together
march like the Macedonian phalanx of
old, with locked shields and measured
tread to the contest that awaits US,
with courage, with resolution, with con-
fidence. believing our cause is just and
that God and the right will surely give
us the victory"
Senator Hill was frequently inter
rupted by applause, particularly in his
arraignment of the Mckinley tariff.
President Cleveland's name set the
convention wild, and Senator Hills
commentator was loudly cheered by
the state Democracy delegates.
When he alluded to the A. P. A. and
condemned its methods, there was ap
plause from almost every person in the
house.
AIlusions to the record of Governor
Flower evoked very hearty applause.
At the close of the speech the usual
committees were appointed, and the
convention adjourned until tomorrow
at noon.
There is no situation and there will
be no situation until William C. Whit
ney arrives in New York and gives his
ultimatum. If he says no, then there
will be hustle on the part of the
prominent candidates and undoubtedly
the springing up Of new candidates that
would prolong this convention over
Thursday" said a party leader tonight.
The convention meets in the Casino
rink, where Governor Flower was NOM
mated in 1891, at noon tomorrow.
Mr. Lockwood, of Buffalo, will come
into the field as prominent candidate

lex Cook and Judge Gaynor, and the
fight will be a lively one if Mr.. Whit
ney declines the nomination.
