SYRACUSE, n. v, Oct. 12-Senator
David b. Hill sounded the keynote of his
campaign for governor last night in this
city and with his address opened parti-
san battle that promises to be historical
in the annals of state politics. The AL
hambra rink, where Democrats and Re
publicans alike have sounded the tocsin Of
political battle, was the scene of the OPEN
ing note of warfare. The first political
meeting that ever named Senator Hill for
an Office assembled under its roof. Some
300 people heard Senator Hill speak and
half as many more were unable to gain
admission.
Received with Storm of Applause.
The American flag was very much in
evidence as a decoration and good many
of the fair sex lent their presence to the
occasion. The doors We're opened at Z
o'clock and within half an hour the
hall and platform had been filled to
rcpletion. The band amused the crowd
until Il few minutes OF o'clock and then
there was an uproar, n rising in seats and
great enthusiasm as Senator Hill dressed
In plain frock coat and black tie
stepped upon the platform. He was the
usual cool, impressive statesman, and to
the storm of applause made but a slight
inclination of his head. When the cheers
and applause had subsidized and the vast
audience had again seated itself County
Committee chairman Yale stepped to the
front of the platform and said that he had
been authorized by the committee to name
rs chairman Hon. Frederick J. Mowry,
who introduced Senator Hill.
Waited Patiently for silence.
When his name was mentioned the sem
ator stepped to the front and stood with
hand on the table facing his audience.
For some minutes he waited while the au-

manner and held his audience until the

He Addresses Packed Audience at the
Auditorium.
DETROIT, Oct. Ex-Governor Mckinley
reached here late in the afternoon, having
spoken en- route at a number of points A
brief stop was made at Ann Arbor, where
the students at the university and a great
number of others gave Governor Mckinley
rather boisterous greeting but an entirely
respectful hearing. The governor told
them that the Republican party was will
ing to submit its principles to the judg-
ment of the educated young men of the
country, adding: I'VE have nothing to
fear in that respect" Then he contin-
ued:
President Lincoln once said that he
did not know very much about political
economy, but he did know that if he
bought ton of iron in Europe and paid
$40 Tor it while he had the iron Europe
had the money, but that if he bought a
ton Of iron in the United States he not
only had the iron, but he had the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the United States
had the money. He might have gone
further and said that the iron he bought
in the United States was made from ore
mined in the United States and furnished
employment and wages to American
worknen."
There Was big crowd at the station
here to cheer and to follow the governor in
an organized procession to the residence of
General Alger, where he spent the night
The Auditorium last night was literally
packed, and Governor Mckinley found his
audience to be one of the most responsive
that he has ever addressed. A special
train took the governor this morning to
Grand Rapids.

CENTRALIA, Ills, Oct. 12-Franklin
McVeagh addressed a large crowd in the
Opera House here. His speech was chiefly
on the tariff, and he put specific questions
to Senator Cullom, asking him to say
whether in re-enacting the Mckinley bill
he would restore the duty on lumber,
binding Irvine, tin, wooden goods, salt;
would he restore the sugar bounty and
remove the income tax? He declared that
the prices of nearly all the necessaries of
life are greatly reduced by the Democratic
tariff, and that the success Of the Repuo-
icans would restore the higher prices.

4 MISTAKE

The sentence Of the court in Wash
ington was passed upon Coxey, Browne
and Jones Monday. Judge Miller gave
them 20 days in Jail, for violating the
statute of the United States prohibit
ing the displaying of banners in the
Capitol grounds, and Coxev and Brow, e
were fined IS extra for walking on the
grass in the grounds.
Coxey, Browne and Jones were hand
cuffed and put on the convict wagon
and sent to Jail with number of 9th
e. prisoners who were not handcuffed
THE DEMOCRAT has had no respect
for Coxev and his crowd. but we are
quite sure that they ought not to have
been handcuffed. It sgives an oppor-
tunity to those who are inclined to
svmpathize with them to raise the cry
Of persecution. And as a matter Of
fact we hardly believe that Coxey and
Browne and Jones would have resisted
the sentence of the court. SO there
was no need for putting handcuffs on
them. Right is right and Ii should be
accorded to whomsoever it belongs
We hope Coxey and all such craniSs
Will stop their foolishness and save the
country the humiliation that must fol-
low such demonstrations. And while
the whole thing was unwarranted. and
deserved punishment, we think the
bower OF the Washington Police court
was exercised a little too vigorously.

THE Va Y TO ELECT.
Winston Sentinel.

Winston Sentinel
SO odous is the United States Sen
ate that we have no doubt the people
would gladly abolish it row if they
could do il peacably. There is many
man IN that body whose election was
bought or obtained through chcanerv
in the legislature which elected him.
The only peaceabla remedy is that
by constitutional amendment but this
would take several years to accomplish
What, then, shall the people do in or
der to escape from the plague of hav-
ing Legislators not responsible directly
to the people?
There is plan which has been work
ecl and found satisfactory We hope
to see the Democratic and other poIiti-
cal organizations adopt it to a great
er Or less extent in several States. II
llnois tried it two years ago and Cali
fornia viii try it this wear.
This plan it to allow the various
county or district conventions to ex-
press their choice for United States
Senator. Then those who are nominal
ed on the legislative ticket can be in
structeG to vote tor the election of the
choice of the convention. This would
bring the election of Senators nearer to
the people.
We have no doubt that the senti-
ment Of the people overwhelmingly fav-
Ors the election OF United States Sena
tors by direct vote Of the people The on
" practical test Of this was a vote TAX
en- in California year before last when
every ballot gave the voter an opportu-
nifty to express his opinion
The result of that vote was that 1877
95S pecDie In California voted in favor
OF the election Of Senators by direct
vote of the people while only 1892
were against the proposition the ma
jority was 174,6l6. Could anything
be more convincing than that? And
We have no doubt that were another
vote to be taken this year the majority
would be greater still.
A consideration of this subject leads
us to believe that the party which goes
on record this year as in favor of some
such plan as above outlined will win
the confidence OF the people and have
an immense advantage over the party
that does not so declare ITSELF

mems right to vote in New York re-
Gently
Mrs. NJ. f. W. Sherwood contrIbu-
ted an article to last Sundays New
York Hcroh which gives some good
arguments against the soft sex entering
the field OF political strife. Her reas-
oninc is very good. 1t shows that not
withstanding she does not covet the
power Of the ballot. she has the power
and capacity for good thinking. She
saws that the giving OF suffrage to Wo-
mel would bring about civil dlscord.
The political qustions Of the dav are
based upon princ1ples Of finance, and
women are ignorant Of such matters,
Another trouble would be the poor
against the rich The social rivalries
Of women are stronger than they are
among men and this would ruin the
whole thing Jealousy of one class
against the other would be q good deal
worse among women than among men.
Mrs. Sherwood says, with familiar
itv that gives credence to her declara-
ton. that not the least trouble with
women suffrayists would be the deter
mination with which they would seek
places. and this would cling to the rich
as we'll as the poor. She says, enter
| a fashionable matinee and try to strug-
gle amid a crowd Of women for a place
A woman will restlessly plant her ell
bows in the most sensitive part Of her
sisters frame work and make her way
| onward regardless of life or limb" Mrs
Sherwood, as a sensible woman, advises
| that women would better stay at home
and take care Of their castle and palace
which is the same to all, whether rich
or poor and in, so doing they fill that
high destiny for which God created
them.
While there Is no danger OF this idea
OF woman suffrage ever prevailing II
the South, it is in order to notice occa-
sionally what is being thought anc
said about it.
The delight OF true and modes
woman is to quietly assist husband, IA
Their. brother or son in rising to the
highest and best manhood of which ht
is capable And in doing this she
more fifty prepares him to guard be
interests than If she insisted on march
