Magnificent Speech to the State
Democratic Convention.
PRAISED PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
lit Eloquently Talks Sound Sense c
Silver and Tariff—Arraigns the
Republicans and Urges Unity
Among Democrats*
Saratoga, Sept. 25.—The state Demo
cratto convention to nominate candi
dates for governor, lieutenant governor
and court of appeals Judge was called
to order here today by Senator Mur
phy, chairman of tho state committee.
He named Dvid B. Hill as tho tem
porary chairman. Mayur Gilroy of
New York city nnd Hon. Daniel Lock-
wood of Erie escorted Senator Hill to
the front of the platform and then oc
curred a remarkable scene. The vast
body of delegates stood oa chairs wav
ing handkerchiefs and yelling them
selves hoarse ns from different corners
of tho auditorium cams demands of
•Three cheers for Hill.” Pandemonium
reigned for at least live minutes.
Senator Hill stood pale and motion
less, one hand resting on the table, un
til the applause had subsided, and thou
at 1:20 o’clooU began to speak; partially
ox tempore and partially from notes.
He said in part: "Our opponents, by
vigorous beating of bogus political tom
toms and the Insistence upon petty amt
misleading local issues, seek to divert
public attention from 'the unenviable
record which they made during iheir
recent four years' coutrol'of the fed
eral government.
"Tho people haive uol, however, for
gotten the fact that it was a Republi
can administration which, in that ill-
fated year of 1890, saddled the country
with unwise uud vicious legislation.
Which has since crippled its prosperity,
endangered its Huuiiccs and augmented
its public burdens.
“The people remember that tile Slier-
mnn silver bullion purchase law was
the product of Jtepublicau statesman
ship—against the enactment of which
every Democrat m cougress voted-
measure fraught with Injury to tho
business interests of the country, based
upon no Just or sound principle of
finance, converting a constitutional
money metal into a commodity, lias
toning us on to a single rather ilia a n
bimetallic standard, .tnd weakening our
national credit at homo and abroad.
"It should ho borne in mind that the
financial panio of 1S95 was a Itepub-
lican panic—Republican in its incep
tion, continuance nud diastretis effects
—a situation largely induced by the re
sults then existing and Impending of
that Hcpublican legislation which
Democratic administration had no part
or parcel In enacting, sanctioning or
condoning, but which it only fortunate
ly inherit cel from Us predecessor.
"Tho people recollect that It was un
der a national Denexrat'a administra
tion that tho Sherman law was
pealed, not ns promptly as some of us
desired, It Is true, but nevertheless un
conditionally repealed within eight
months after our adveut to power.
“IVe promised tho people in our Chi
cago platform that this statute, which
was eating out the vitals of our finan
cial body, should not be allowed to en
dure, and tho promise was redeemed
despite the adverse predictions of our
•adversaries.
“We also declare In favor of repeal
ing that last law. which Invaded stnto
rights, menaced tho liberties of the cit
izen, multiplied federal olllces, In
volved the expenditure of millions of
money, continued sectional animosi
ties and was as Ill-conceived, unnec
essary and impotent for the prevention
of fraudulent practices and the promo
tion of pure elections as It was vexa
tious and offensive in its enforcement.
"I point you to the fact -that the
Democratic party, although entrenched
tbr four yeans with the distribution of
oil the official patron-age incident to -the
execution of this powerful law. with
patriotic self-sacrifice, deliberately cost
aside all the power, influence arid.pat
ronage involved therein, subordinating
temporary a elfish interests Ito the public
good, wiped out this odious law'from
the statute books within the first year
of our admin IstraYJon and at he efisu-
ting cotrgresskmal election the spectacle
will be -witnessed for the fitut time In
twenty-four years, of state elections
conducted os they of right ought to be
wO'Jhout federal Interference, dictation
or Intimidation: without federal super
visors. marshals or other obnoxious fed
eral agents or lnstrumenUlltleK, but
with state officials selected or chasan
by the people themselves, according to
the stake *iwb and wages, an exempli
fication of the principle of homo rule In
sea-tea and a vindication of the doctrine
of sovereign! y of the states os it was
recognized by our forefathers firm- the
foundation of our government until
the-t evil day In the sixties, when the
Republican*, although a minority par
ty, owing to our own divisions, a-sclden-
ully obtained control t the cuntry. We
rejoice that with Democratic national
crctndincy, the country constslen*Jy
returns to the slmoie methods, the
sound principles and the correct admin
istration of public offices, which char
acterized tho earlier and better days
of the republic.
"The enactment of the McKinley tar
iff biM was the culminating atrocity of
Republican rscklessenn In legislation, a
measure so extreme, so selfish, so un-
reauonable. kfha 11 hazard nothing Jn ra-
serting that conservative and fair
minded RepuMloina everywhere re
gretted the party exigencies which
seemed to demand Its passage. It was
the very personification of prekeotion-
ton run mid.
‘The McKinley law hit gone whore
the -woodbine twineth, gone to s'.ty,
"ever to -be re-enacted agin by any po
litical party. It Is true, that there was
a vexatious and unfortunate delay,
we regretted, occasioned In part
b >' ‘snWdotzated eft's of -the senate,
*h!ob tolerated unlimited dslme-rules
which we did not frame but which we
inherited, and which, by reason of our
Blender majority -we» .seemed unable to
change, but wtoieh -I trust in the near
future iwlll be abrogated. (But the met
should be remembered that the record
shows that we occupied less time, by
come months, in repealing the law than
omr _opponents Hook In enacting It in
“jjbespepk for Shis new law (un
uottsflictory though It-may be in some
respects, because of objections tvblch' r
urged in the senate. Which it Is not
now aldvtsible or necessary to rsftersue)
the iputlent constdcralfon of a fair trigl,
to whfeh in common tbiirness it is en
ticed. The country should understand
•that a general or extenslvo tariff re
vision is not contemplated by the Dem
ocratic -party now or in -the near futf
ure. This determtoaition, however, does
not preelude the desirability of redeem
ing by the- passage of separate bills,
Whatever pledges we have made In our
platform or otherwise, lor free f.t-w mu
te.rJals or the readjustment of any oo
JeOUoqablt- sugar schedule. Beyonld this
it is not wise'to go-muoh further at this
time, unless the unforeseen necessities
of 'the treasury or the Chta-nged condi
tions of ttiio country shall warrant or
‘imperatively demand It. This Is be
lieved to be -the true path to pursue and
the correot position to assume a-t this
ctUrioal Juncture of public affairs.
“Fellow Democrats of tills Empire
Slate and tihe country, the duty of -the
hour Is not harsh criticism of DetrO-
era-tie -leaders or Democratic measures,
nor mutual recriminations, nor con
flicting counsels, but It Is time for con
ciliation, for unity of purposes, for ag
gressive hiet.on. The common enemy
now Can fro n-y us, seeking our polities!
dastructOon. Bear In mind 'Chat the
control of Both -legislative departments
of the government 1s at Sttake in the
coming elections, luterpanty strife must
now ceaae and our alttiacks be reserved
ttor Jhc foes who are already forming
th-etr lines of battle against us. Demo
cratic, nuufemuH and suite atdimlnlsrni-
dons must Wilke be ioyu'Fly supported
The administration people h-ave not
ohanged their sentiments and -the sound
and cherished principles of true De
mocracy w-llt still receive tateir appro
val because the Democratic cause is the
cause of the people.
‘The adunlnOstmiblon of President
Cleveland bias been dean-banded, ec'i-
nornCcal, painstaking and Pitrlo-ttc. The
various departments of the national
government have been conducted With
success -and the Dcmocraitlc party as a
whole Is entitled -to the confidence of
the masses of Uhe -people, w’h'oise inter
ests It endeavors faithfully to serve.
"Oour duty tn plain and It shall re per-
formed, and tf perchance adherence to the
right brings disaster, we shall bravely
accept our fate and take our place in pri
vate station by the side of uur proscribed
fellow citizens until reason. Justice and
true religious freedom shall again resume
their sway oo surely they will.
"Fellow Democrats, let us not underes
timate the dangers which confront as. We
shall encounter the cohorts of corruption
in this campaign. Led by audacious and
unscrupulous leaders who are lighting not
only for the control of Now York, out of
the country. We are on the sklrmlsn
Hne of the great national battle of lS'Jti,
and the loss of New York may lose cur
party the presidency. The whole country
Is breathlessly and hopefully watching
our contest and we must do our full'
duty. Sinking every prejudice, subordina
ting every selfish consideration, actuated
only by high and patriotic motives, realiz
ing bow much Is at stake, to be won or
lost mindful of the grand traditions which
belong to tho party of Jefferson, Jackson
and Ttlden, knowing that a united Democ
racy tn this state means an old-fashioned.
Democratic triumph, let us buckle cn our
armor and march together like tho Mace
donian phalanx ot old. with -ocked shields
and measured tread; to the contest that
awaits us, with courage, with resolution,
with comflence. believing that oar cause
Is Just and that God and the right will
surely give us the victory."
Hull was loudly and frequently applauded
and his pralse3 of the Cleveland admin
istration sent out silo the hall wild wlht
Joy. while there was a silence In other
quarters.
Senator Hill's .allusion to the A. P. A,
produced greater applause than any por
tion of his speech. When he finished the
delegates cheered and a band, which had
arrived, struck UP "America."
The roll call was then proceeded with.
When the names of the delegates from At
bany wero called, notice of a contest wa<
made. When Kings was reached, Charles
J. Paterson on behalf of the Shephard
Democrats, gavo notice of a contest.
Chas. 8. Fairchild followed suit when
New York was reached. Notices were also
given of contests In queens by Patrick
Gleason and In Rockland, Monroe, Tomp
kins ar«l Yates countjes.
The usual committees were appointed
and the convention adjourned to meet In
the rink at noon tomorrow.

finished, with the others far in the rear.
IN THE PAVILION.
Attendance fair, speculation brisk. The
racing wue much more natlslhctory than
it was on the opening day, ami tftat's
not saying a grflit deal. There are good
horses, ■ galore, ai* Jerome park, and they
are not thcro for their health, exactly,
sa it stands the jockey dub in hand to
offer inducements that will bring them to
the post and furnish sport that will be
a credit to tho previous course of the
Metropolitan district, 'mat's just about
what they'll do. Today’s card is all
