as a Man and Politician.

days, and will enter actively into the
canvass
1t has been a long time since a more
patriotic appeal was made to the demo
cratic party than what is embodied in
the speech of David Bennett Hill when
be formally opened the campaign in Syria.
cuse, N Y. Hill gave conclusive egi-
dence of his power and broad minded
craftsmanship when he fought a sena-
torial clique here in the tariff debate.
| His nine recent utterauces in New YORK
ought to be repeated to the democratic
posts from the Atlantic seaboard to the
Pacific slope; from the northern lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico. Speaking of Hon.
| Levi P. Norton, his venerable, distin
guished and deservedly popular opponent
for ~gubernational honors in New York,
he tittingly and gracefully says:

urally attracts friends, and his candidacy
for any position which he may I'VE be-

Referring to his late enemy the present
icomnparable chief executive of this
great nation he says:
President Cleveland's administration
in all of its departments commends itself
to the warm admiration of all people. 1t
has been honest, consistent and cOnscieD
tious, a1d he deserves the confidence of
the people. Therefore you should remem-

to pass upon the fall in this state is the
approval or disapproval Of Mr.. Cleve

dorsement and approval which its wise
acts entitle it to. Not one of US regret
the splendid vote we gave Mr.. Cleveland
in 1892
If the nomination which | have reluct

by the people, | shall assume the Office

crafty my personal ambition, but to
assist in aiding the democratic cause
which is near and dear to my heart, and
with which l have been identified all my
political life.
If this speech is not the embodiment of
patriotism, 1 do not know the meaning of
the word. Let smaller politicians follow
