Inc Iammany chiefs became alarmed.
Their head chief, Croker, took to his
heels. lie gathered up the princely for
tune he had saved from his revenues as
hlng' OF New York and retired as a
Iammany sage
But the other Tammany chiefs were
not so comfortably settled. They felt
themselves put up to their wits end, and
tried various devices. They sang the
song OF harmony as sweetly as any coo-
ing dove; they would torswear ali self
lsh designs; they would nominate a high-
Toned citizen for Mayor; they would even
indorse ticket nominated by Reform
Democrats; they would do anything to
make people forget the tigers teeth and
claws until after election.
The salvation they could not expect to
WIN directly IN New York they might
secure by A flank march via Albany.
They bethought themselves of their liie-
iOng friend, their trusty confederate, d.
b. Hill. II they could only make him
Governor again they need not trouble
themselves about defeat in a Mayoralty
election.
''But would friend Hill be willing to
accept the nomination for the Governor
shlpY Hardly. Comfortable ensconced
1or several years in the Senate, he would
not like to take unnecessary risks. If
asked beforehand, he would refuse.
Iammany therefore resolved to nominate

succeeded. 1t is universally known and
not contradicted that the stampede in
the democratic State Convention which
thrust the nomination on Hill was
planned and managed by Tammany, and
that Hill had been nominated and virtu-
ally accepted and found himself har-
messed to the Tammany cart ere he had
time to rub his eyes. That this sly fox
would be caught by surprise may seem
ludlcrous. But it is more than a ioke 1t
Is the revenge of fate; it is the sin OF the
evil doer coming to rOost; it is the devil
claiming his own. So often had Hill rid
den into places of power on the back of
1ammany ana the State machinery, that
lammany and its allies have a right TO
Jump on his back and say: Now we will
rlde you for our salvation; we have done
your work, now you do ours
All this is perfectly fit and proper.
Hill and Tammany are bound together
by natural ties. They are in one flesh
and blood; their hopes are the same. their
methods are the same, their aims the
same, and they know, as Ben Franklin
said, that they will have to hang together
or they will hang separately. AS Tam
many has always fought Hips battles, so
now Hill fights the battles of Tammany.
1t means one word-that every vote for
Hill is vote for Tammauy and all that it
implies.
I'm the first place, it is said D. B. Hill
has shown himself to be an able man
Yes, and how ably, after he had once
risen to political prominence, did he man
age 10 attach TO himself the mercenarV
elements OF his party and framed out Of
them the worst political machine this
State has ever seen; how ably he used the
machine to undermine Mr.. Cleveland in
the Democratic organization Of this State:
now ably he strove to belittle the tariff
issue until that Issue was generally
accepted; how ably he contriyed when
Mr.. Cleveland in 1888 was for the second
time candidate for the Presidency, to
get for himself in this State as a candi-
date for Governor, a plurality of many
thousands, while Mr.. Cleveland was sac
rlflced; how ably he took Sl5, 900 out of a
public contract, and therefore out of the
peoples pocket, and used it in his cam
palgn; how ably he instigated the crime
OF abstractlng an election return, falsify-
ing an election and stealing the Senate:
how able, when he championed the
crime, advocated the elevation of a crimi-
nal to the highest tribunal of the State as
an act of simple justice, and set down our
foremost lawyers who had some respect
for the honor Of the judicial as a brainless
set OF namby- pambys; how able when he
led his party, after having insulted the
people of the State with such a nomins-
ton, into humiliation and defeat of more
than 100, 200 votes"

CHICAGO, Oct. Ex-Governor Mckinley
of Ohio arrived IN the city at O'Clock to-
night, and was greeted at the depot by
large crowd of enthusiastic Republicans.
Immediately after dinner the Governor
was driven to the armory OF the First In
fantry, where a crowd of about 5000 peo-
pie had gathered to hear him.

duced Governor Mckinley to his audi
ence. The great applause that greeted
Governor Mckinley lasted for four min
utes. When at length he got an opportu-
nifty to speak, he said:

party was voted in. For nineteen months.
therefore, the Democratic party has been
In supreme control of every branch of the
General Government, and during that
nineteen months, which have been the
longest since the war, Congress has been
engaged in revising the tariff, and while
Congress has been revising the tariff, the
people have been busy revising their
votes, and from one end OF this country
to the other the people are burning with
impatience for an opportunity to pass
upon the work OF the Democratic party
and Democratic Congress.

There probably has been no such revolu-
ton of public sentiment in a quarter of a
century as has taken place within the last
twenty months. Every Northern State
which has spoke mas spoken in condemn
alton of the Democratic policy and DEM
ocractic measures. And not onIy is this
revolution OF public sentiment going on,
but it is certainly going on in the south
"a Democratic President and Demo-
cratic Congress have been running the
Government for nineteen months and
during that time little else has been rum
ming. Every industry has been seriously
interrupted, and all the enterprises of
the people have been very seriously
checked. Labor has been less employed
than for thirty years, and when en-
pIoyed, at greatly reduced wages. There
has been no cessation in those nineteen
months in the waste of wealth and wages
and property and in investment, and it
has been estimated that the cost to the
people has been greater than the expense
OF the great civil war. Appeals 10 char
ity have been great and incessant and
their reasonableness never so well recog-
nized. Congress has trified with the
sacred trusts of the people, imperiled
their fortunes. their property, their in
vestments, their wages; have quarreled
among themselves, and upon their own
confessions have been compromised. The
Senate does not agree with the House, nor
the House with the Senate, nor the Pres
ident with either of them. And the people
seem to be in disagreement with all three
