HAMILL'S HOT SHOT

Seldom If ever has such enthusiasm
for candidate for Office been aroused
in Hudson county as that which was
manifested in Bayonne last night for
Allan Benny, nominee for Congress from
the Ninth district. A meeting for the
ratification of his nomination was held
in the magnificent new building which
the Democratic Club of Bayonpe has
erected at Avenue ID and Twenty-seventh
street. and the handsome large assembly
room was taxed to its utmost capacity
to accommodate the citizens of all shades
of political faith who had come out to
demonstrate their faith in an allegiance
to the candidate. The enthusiasm ran
high and the telling remarks of ex-Goy-
ernor David B. Hill of New York, As
semblyman James Hamill and the can
didate himself were received with bursts
of approving applause that could be
heard for miles around.
Mr.. Benny was deep in most effec-
tive expose of the abuses in the coal
regions when he was interrupted by loud
applause at the rear of the room and
soon the commanding figure of ex-Sena-
tor Hill, escorted by Mayor Seymour, ex-
Assemblyman Thomas Magner and
Street Commissioner Thompson of Eliza
beth. was seen make his way up the
centre aisle through cheering throng.
As he came along the shouts were taken
up until everyone in the room was on
his feet cheering enthusiastically.
Upon reaching the stage Senator Hill
shook hands with the prominent citizens
there and then sat down to catch his
breath
CHEERS FOR SENATOR HILL.
In introducing Mr.. Hill the chairman
said Fellow Democrats and Republi-
can friends in our midst-We are flat
tered tonight and highly honored to have
the pleasure of listening to the eminent
statesman from the Empire State, David
b. HILL" (Applause) HE promised to
speak to us and as his word is as good
as his bond he is with us tonight"
Three rolsing cheers were given for
Mr.. Hill when he arose to speak.

Republican Enemies--I say enemies be-
cause they are our enemies. ! am advis-
ed that this is the opening night, the dedi-
cation of this beautiful hall to the cause
Of Democracy. l cannot tell you how
grateful i am to be with you on this
joyous occasion. know of nothing which
better serves the cause of Democracy
than the building of such halls dedicated
to the doctrine of Thomas Jefferson. If
/ should criticise our party it would be
for its lack of such places where you can
meet and form your plans AS travel
through the country find we have places
like this in which to meet and con-
gratulate you heartily.
81 hope my presence here as plain
humble, Democratic citizen will be fol-
lowed by a big Democratic majority.

and an attentive one. Many of you are

What is our condition? We are told
