HILL AT RICHMOND.

By the time Ex-senator Carl Schurz.
ex-senator David B. Hill, ex-Secretary
Of State Olney and others of the
heavier guns hat are now being used
with such deadly effect against Nc
Kinleyism are done with the little fell
low who sits in the presidential chair,
there will be nothing left of his char
acter that is good. OF all presidents
he has done worse and is the most
traitorous to the American people and
their Notwithstanding form of
government. The other day End
Senator Hill spoke at Richmond, Va.
and his strong points were greatly
relished and applauded. He aroused
the democrats to unWonted enthusi.
asm thus far. Referring to McKin-
ley's conduct as to Porto Rico he said:
Senator Hill pointed out, with tell
ing effect, hat the constitution must
govern n control the people of every
land controlled by the United States
The republicans, he declared, had
practically denied this by their course
in imposing a tariff on Porto Rico. a
territory, he claimed, of this country
President McKinley's course in assert
ing n people be treated fairly
and then approving a bill enforcing d
tariff upon the country, Mr.. Hill de-
clared was the greatest act of stultif-
cation ever known in any chief execu-
tive of this nation.
One of the strongest points of his
speech was the ~far-reaching effect of
d~isregarding the constitution in the
new condition of things. If the DEM
ocratic position were not true Nj.
Hill rang out in his clear voice, there
is nothing to prevent the establish
ment of a royalty in all the newly ae-
Quired territories This point was
cheered by the crowd"
