MACON, GA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 26. 1894. HILL SOUNDS THE KEY NOTE New York's Senior Senator Makes a 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. CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS. They Nominate a Strong Ticket and Good Chances of Success.

"We congratulate the country upon the successful effort of-Presldent Cleve land to restore the currency of tbe country to a better, condition than It has enjoyed for more them thirty years. "The right of public preferment should not be -baaed upon religious pro fession or on beliefs. We therefore ro-.. demn and denounce all movements 'Whatsoever, having for «hetr purpose the exclusion from public office of uny -portion of our people for -their religious creed, as vicious tn tendency, flan- gerous to civil fiberty. in violation of ’(ho declaration of rights In the const:- tutton of Connecticut, unworthy the support of American voters and a recognition of -the worst features of knaw-nottilDglwn.” The remainder of She platform was taken up with Uhe discussion ot state issues.
