DAVID B. HILL.
Asked to Make an Address Before the
 Legislature in Albany

New York, Feb 2G.-The legislature of Albany has received a letter from eX-Senator David E. Hill of New York, says World special from Montgom- cry, i'll which, he tenders it his thanks for it's request for an address from him and expresses his regret at being rm- able to comply. In part he wrote:
 The reference to political matters contained in the resolution leads me to say that the democratic party. as, the great conServate force of the coun- try. is more than ever essential to the well-being and safety of the republic. It becomes our party as patriots and democrats to strengthen our party or ganiZation, to unite all clements of opposition to radicaliSm. to organize for future contests upon right lines so as to make national victories again possible, to avoid recrimination and to subordinate all selfish and personal considerations in the exhibition of a widespread national and party pa triotiSm.
 We should stand as a solid phalanN in favor of q strict construction of the federal constitution, for the preserva- tion of the reserved rights Of the states, for the maintenance of the constitutional currency of our fathers, for a system of public taxation i'm posed for public purposes only, for economy in all public expenditures and for the supremacy of the consti- tuition, with all it's guarantees, over every portion of our national iur;sdic- tion and we should resist by every honorah hle means in our power the re- publican efforts to fasten upon our country the evils Of militarisIn. the wrongs involved in the diversion of public moneys iii the shape of con- gressional subsidies. the tendencies toward standardization of power, and the substitution of imperial ideas fol. the plain and simple theories of demo- cratic government. Upon all these issues the democratic party is right, and sooner or later the right will sure ly prevail"
