NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Practically the
last guns in the political campaign in
this state were fred today. Distin-
guished speakers who have filled the air
with eloquencs for the Republican and
Democratic candidates ceased their la
bors with tonight's demonstration and
made their way home to attend to their
own politics.
From now until Tuesday the campaign
takes on local air. The chairmen Of
the two state committees have delivered
their usual charges to their adherents to
stand firm, and quiet has settled over
most of the political headquarters in
this city.
A ripple OF interest was caused at the
Democratic headquarters this afternoon
by the arrival OF Speaker Crisp. He
spoke tonight with Governor Flower at
the Democratic mass meeting in Brook
lyn. Other important mass meetings
today were those OF the committee of 70
at Music hall and the Tammany mass
meeting in Madison square aud the
anti-Hill meeting in Cooper union. A
number of other meetings Of minor i'm
portance and torohlight parades were
held.
Hugh Giant today claimed 10000 ma
jority for tho Hill state ticket in this
city, and ~ to his own prospects for the
mayoralty, declared that he never in
any campaign felt more confident OF
victory than now.
At Repu blican headquarters Chairman
Hackett TODAY claimed Morton's election
by $4,000. More than 80, 600 plurality 10
claimed for the committee OF seventy
ticket.
c2IsP's BROOKLYN sPEECH.
BROOKLYN, Nov. 3.-The campaign
was practically closed in Brooklyn this
evening, when rousing reoe ption wac
given at mass. meeting in the Clare
mont avenue rink, at which the Hon.
Charles F. Crisp and Roswsll p. Flower
spoke.
Speaker Crisp said he did not intend
to take flights OF oratory, but would
endeavor to reach the judgment of the
audience and make truthful statement
of what the Democrats have done and
what the Republicans have done. and
let them decide on what side lay the
peoples interests.
Last August, for the first time in 80
years." he continued. "the Democrats
took possession, in extra session, OF both
houses of congress. At the time agri-
culture languished, banks were sus-
pending, industries were at q standstill.
Who WAS responsible for oil this? II
was TO large extent the Rspublicans.
II the hard times were due to legislation
it was due to Republican laws and NOS
to Democratic laws.
1.-THE people elected a president on
the platform that the Sherman silver
bill was a cowardly makeshift; that the
people old not want it and it was r,-
pealed."
He spoke of the Mckinley law and
pointed out that In every city there we're
many people who do not understand the
tariff. The Democratic party believed
in tariff for public benefit, but the Re-
publicsns believed in it for private
benefit.
Referring to New York state he said:
"You have many factions here. In the
south there are only two. They are the
Democratic and Republican. Every eye
is on Nav York. The Empire state fur.
niehes candidates; the Empire state it
10 in commerce, in everything and in
Democracy. All look to it and all will
watch it now"
In speaking of Senator Hill, he said:
every body in this country is looking
with interest upon the gallant fight
being made by him. No man deserves
go much at the hands of his party be-
cause ne did'so much for that party, as
does D. B. HILL"
The speaker did not know much about
local matters but he did know Hill and
knew what work he did in the senate.
He did not sea how any Democrat could
20 to the polls next Tuesday and not
cast his ballot fur d. B. Hill for gov
ern0r.
HILL AT ELMIRA.
EIMIRA, N. Y. Nov. 3.--Senator Hill
spoke to $4,000 people at the new wig.
wan tonight. He was greeted with a
storm OF applause as he appeared on the
platform. In opening his speech he re>
ferred to the campaign OF 1892 aa being
honestly and decently conducted
and said that the Democrats
then won great victory. So it
would always bs when the good, aound
principles of the Democratic party were
to fight over. The great principle OF
this campaign was the fight on the ap-
portionment question and the defeat OF
the apportionment was necessary for the
preservation Of the Democratic party in
New York.
Senator Hill then reviewed the work
OF the last congress and showed thar
Democracy had redeemed it's pledges at
least in part when ii repealed what he
termed the upj just Sherman law and the
obnoxious hign protective bill, adding
that it had gone where the woodbins
twineth, never TO return again.
Then Senator Hill proceeded to show
the fallacies, from his point of view, OF
the high tariff. He said he did not
blame Mckinley for shooting through
this country on the rear end of q parloT
car. He remem bered a campaign in
