The speech Of Mr.. hin At Syracuse on
Thursday night presents him before the
public once more as an unseltsh patriot.
II was an appeal on behalf Of the Demo
cratic party not Of New York only but
OF the whole country. He seems ahso-
lutely 10 have lost SIGHT Of himself and
20 have been Influenced by no considcro-
ton excep; the welfare OF tn people OF
his own State and an the states 1t was
not an appeal in behalf OF himself. for be
counscled all Democrats who could not
or would not vote for him to vote for his
associates on the Democratic ticket
Lockwood and Brown. II was not an ap-
peal FOR the Democracy of New York
alone. for he warned his hearers that If
The Republicans should carry New York
st the elections OF next month. they
would thus be enabled ~ 10 cntrench
themselves in Office that they could never
be ousted The success this fall Of the
Republicans and their guaranteeing
scheme means said he, the absolute CON
troll OF the Legislature by The Republicans
for all time to come. so it is clear that
the New York Democrat VITO refuses
10 vote for Hin is a traitor 20 the Demo
Gratis Of the whole Union.
Afr Hi. In opening IN campaign. no.
tincd all whom 1t concerned that he did
not intend 70 allow his opponents TO

tanning 70 the police department Of a
single city. That 81 TO say. the cry If
'Tammany" would not Tighten him
from his proIriety. AMI ought not 10 be
permitted by good Democrats 10 obscure
the outrages which the Republicans con-
template committing. These contem-
plated ou,rages ought to be denounced
from every stump ia the United States.
They concern all the people. Their sue
cess means the downfall Of free ins;i-
tut,ons In this country. No President OF
the nitel States will ever be elected 10y

Assistant Secretary WiSe have announced
their purpose L. take the stump for Mr.
Hill. ana thus given the country assurance
ahat the administration At Washington

good Democrats everywhere are en-
utaVorlug to promote. Nobody need he
surprised that Mr. Cleveland lends all
his aid t. that good cause; for he knows
Ind realizes better than any other man
that Republican success in New York
on the 9th proximO VIII be Democratic
defeat and VIII BE- accepted as con-
demnation Of Mr.. Clevelan1's whole
policy. But worse than all else, the
Presidents name would forever b. as
ISOLATED with the unspeakable wrong Of
gerrymanderlng New York state, and thus
suppressing the Voic Of the people. Nay.
the scheme we condemn would be in
effect the Gerrymanderins of all the
States
Mr.. Hi assured his hearers that past
differences would be forgotten. and all
democrats treated fairly and alike: that
no ring-rule would be allowed; that no
entangling alliances would DE formed.
and that h had consented To give battle
10 the enemy. not in his own interest.
but In order 10 promote the welfare of
the Democratic party. Nobody can
loub, these assurances. Mr. ll.ll tried TO

thought could take his place on the
ticket: bat he tried in vain. In the opln-
,on Of his Democratic associates. who
,hereupon forced him to head the column

Hin says that il elected he VIII assume
he Office.
