never been paralleled in Albany. was
the result tonight of the fusion OF the
two branches Of the Democracy was
tender o greeting to Senator Hin, who
Is now a resident OF this city. At
least 1000 people thronged the great
hall and as many more llstended TO
speaking on the outside, unable to gain
admission.
A noticeable feature of the affair
was the presence on the stage as CO.
speaker with Senator Hin Of Mr..
Charles Tracey who is looked upon as
personal representative OF Mr. Cleye-
land.
At least 1900 people took part in the

organizations.

corted Cleveland to Washington when

the echo when they entered the hall.

meeting.
When Senator Hill was introduced
he was received with storm of APP
plause. He said in part:
1.-TWO years ago In this hall l had
the pleasure of speaking for your ma
tional ticket of Cleveland and Steven
son (applause). and now again l adj
dress the united Democracy in Albany
county, a Democracy united for vic
tory. / call your attention to the fact
that the campaign OF 1892 was one that
was won on it's merits. and / am con-
WINGED we can win all our campaigns

the platform OF my party" (Applause)
He paid his respects to the constitu-
tional convention about in the same
strain as In other places ana de
nuunced the npportionment proposed
as q purely partisan one, saying that
il was expected TO pass 1t because
of the peculiar existing conditions.
II am here to say that they have
reckoncd without their host" Gap
plause) And this very apportion-
ment scheme has united our party IN
the entire state as nothing else could
have united it,"
Speaking of the short visit Of
Mr.. Mckinley TO Albany and the ad-
vocacy of his own bill, he said: This
question was passed upon by the peo-
pie in 1899 after one OF the greatest
educational campaigns ever known,
The decision expressed then by the
people was based upon intelligence and
good Judgment. We have nothing TO
fear from re-dlscussion of the tariff
question. / do not believe the people
intend TO change nor can be led into
chnnging their decisive verdict of lb92,
All can say OF MFR. Mckinley IL that
he has run mad on the high protective
tariff question and he and others of
his PARTY seem 10 have lost their rea-
son. You would think from reading
his speeches that high tar
iff taxation was n blessingi
that the tariff was not u tax that
The foreigners pay the tariff tax. | will
not insult your intelligence In again
discussing these questions, Your YER
diet In 1902 shows that YOU nave
thought these questions out for your
selves. Mckinley arraigns the Demo-
cratic party for the crime OF reduc-
ing taxation through depression OF
the tariff. We are ready 70 DC az
ralEned and indicted on this question.
To my mind nothins hut the magnih-
cent vote o. 1899 In this state awaits
us as the result OF such Conviction.
