| ALBANY On. W, Oct. 30.-Senator
D. B. Hill returned to Albany to-day
from his Trip through the State of Ohio,
whore he has made several political
speeches. Tonight he addressed an inn
mense Democratic mass meeting at Har-
mapus Bleecker Hall. He was escorted
there amid Il blaze of fireworks by the
Democratic Phalaux and several local
Democratic organizations. Ex-senator
| Warner Miller again came in for con-
siderable criticism at the hands of Sem
ator Hill for his recent utterances in re-
gard to the excise question. The Senator
said: "Mr. Miller in his recent speeches
in endeavoring to explain as to what he
personally believed in, and as to what his
party advocated. became somewhat con-
fused, and asserted an entirely new doc
trine of Republican faith. He made
most remarkable statement, which L
quote from the New York Tribune of
October 10th, published the next morn
ing after his speech the night before.
This Is what the Tribune reports Mr..
Miller as saying: In fact. Republicans of
this State to-day favor what is known
as the Ohio law. In Ohio all excise
boards are abolished, and engaging in
liquor there IS free to everyone: but the
moment q place is open for the sale of
Intoxicating drinks the State officer
steps in and Ievies the tax, which is uni
form throughout the state. and many of
our people think that that would be
desirable condition in this state. Ger
tainlv the operations OF the Ohio law
have proved very favorable in Ohio"
In conclusion, the Senator said: sour
Republican friends say 1 ana deeply in
10 n nf in
Legislature, that l may be returned 10 the
L nited States Senate. No one has cen
authorized TO state that l seek re-elec-
ton. The Legislature to be chosen this
fall does not elect my successor. So far
as | am concerned, the field is open 10
every loyal Democrat that wants to aspire
for the place. Give us tho Legislature
now. The question OF electing United
States Senator can be disposed OF two
years hence. Cleveland and Hill! aud ali
true Democrats want Democratic success
above all things. | have in my hand the
following telegram received in this city

which all Democrats have in our success:

The PEOPLE,S GOLD.

The immediate and generous response to
Secretary Carlisle's appeal for gold shows
how highly the American people hold the
honor and integrity of their Government,
and how ready and willing they are 10 heed
the call for aid, 10 matter under what cir
cunlstaDces it may be made. No sacrifice
is too great for them. 1t is but necessary
for them to know that the stability of any
important branch Of the Government is in
danger OF being impaired to come to the
rescue without i moments hesita tion-
This feeling Of national pride pervades
all classes The farmer. who may have
kept five dollar gold piece laid care
fully away for years viii give it UP as
willingly as the firm of Philadelphia mer-
chants has given up its hundred thousand
dollars and ex-Gov. Flower has parted
with tn. few hundred he happened to have
about the house. 1t is altogether likely
that if this call had been issued by the
Secretary OF the Treasury when first the
gold reserve became depleted, there might
have been no necessity for making the
treasury Of the United States dependent
upon the tender mercies Of = syndicate Of
American and European bankers.
There need be no doubt that if the peo-
pies hoard of gold can keep the gold reserve
intact until Congress passes remedial legis-
lation, the last dollar of it will be forth
coming. At the same time there is equally
no doubt that the system of government
finaBciering which has recourse to such
ezpedients, is anything but commcndabIe.
1t is a confession of weakness which the
average American citizen does not like to
contemplate in those who manage the af-
fairs of the nation.
