Albany, N. Y, Oct, 2S.-The feature of William Jennings Bryan's tour up- state today was the appearance on the platform here tonight, where he pre- sided of former United States Senator David Bennett Hnl It was the first time in several years that MT. Hill had attended such a gathering, so that when he stepped forward to introduce democracy's leader, the great crowd which packed the hall where the meet ing was held rose and wildly cheered.
 While dlsavowlng that he was now in politics, Senator Hlll declared that he was heartily in favor of the election of MT. Bryan
 Although not connected with pol itics," he said, q reiterate that I am heartily in favor of the election of the democratic national and state tickets. am not so partisan, however that I would support the party whether right or wrong, but permit me to say that l support the national ticket in this campaign because, in my judgment, our presidential candidate who hon. ors us with his presence here tonight Is absolutely right upon every con- tested question in this campaign. l am for him because ] sincerely believe that the best interests of the country will be subserved by his election. It is time for a change in the adminis- tration of the government change of measures and of men. Our candi- date owes the nomination not to any one man or any set of men, but only to the people themselves If elected he will be the president himself and not a dummy for any man. He will not be led around with a string like a great big caged bear"
 Senator Hill, referring to the repub- lican charge that a panic would fol- low MT. Bryan's election, declared that 1t would not be business panic but 1t will be a panic on the part of hun dreds of thousands of federal office holders and public officials who will have to surrender their places to the victorious party"
 The democratic candidate got an ovation as he arose to speak, the aud- fence reluctantly obeying the waving of his hand to them to become quiet. He expressed his appreciation of the cordial welcome he had received i'll the capital of our nations great state, ' and replying to Senator Hill. said:
 T appreciate the more than gener- ous words employed by Senator Hill in presenting me to you. One of the pleasures of this campaign is the unity that manifests itself in the democratic party. As the candidate for president l have behind me a united democracy, and in front of me q scared republican party" He declared that the demo- cratic party was full of fight, while the republican party was full of fright. q believe" he continued, that we are going to win great victory, and. my friends. I am glad that Senator Hill, the hero of so many battlehelds. is fighting by my side, prepared to share with mo the Joys of a democratic tri- umph. This victory would be lncom- plete if 1t were sectional victory, but I believe that this victory is going to be won by the cooperation of the east and the west, the north and the south, and that it will cement the democratic party as a fighting force"
