S. Domination,
Syracuse, N. Y., Dct. 11.—Senator Da-
Tid Bennett Hitt arrived here from Al
bany shortly after noon today, amid
the.boomlDg of cannons. He was met
at ilib depot by a committee of promi
nent Democrats' and the fourth brigade
band. A large crowd throated the
streets an^ gave three cheers for Hill
as he alighted.
At his hotel several hundred people
were watting to pay their respects.
The senator was given a rousing three
cheers several times during the recep
tion.
He opened the campaign here tonight
in the Alhambra rink and he was ac
corded a magullicent reception. Mr.
fiiii.leit the hotel at 8 o’clock under
the escort of the committee of arrange
ments for the rink. A baud preoeded
the carriage to the hall and the streets
were alive with people. Camions
roared and much colored lire lit the
way to the meeting place.
The rink was crowded long before
tile meeting was called to order, and
over 5,000 people crowded into a seat
ing space of 3,000 capacity. Many
were unable to gain admission to the
hall. The enthusiasm was unbounded.
'Senator Hill’s entrance to the hall
was the signal for tumultuous and long
continued applause. It was a recog
nition of which any man might be
^ proud, and Senator Hill expressed his
acknowledgment, under such circum
stances, with that well-known nod of
“te head. The meeting was called to
order by Col* Yale, chairman of tho
A^ l i rocmtfo county committee, and
Henry J. Mowrey was named us chu,r-
wan.
Tho latter introduced Senator Hill,
pny.ng him a high compliment as to
his sturdy efforts iu behalf of Dcmoc
racy and congratulating him -on his
mavked success in the cause. -
Senator Hill stepped forward to ad
dress the audience, and this was the
signal for u lori-coutlnucd outburst of
applause. “I know of no more appro
priate place in which to open the- ’po
litical campaign," ho said, ••than be
fore the united Democracy of Onon
daga county. It is with pleasure that
I recall the fact that my iirst nomina
tion for a slate oillco occurred m iho
city of Syracuse and that during all
my political care*r the Democracy of
this city tins been among ir.v earnest
supporters. I am also reminded that
county was the birthplace of that dis
tinguished and sterl.ug Democrat and
statesman Horatio Seymour, from
whoso lips I first learned the lessons of
true Democracy, and that It was also
the boyhood home, for many years, of
the present Democratic president of
the United States, Grover Cleveland,
where, struggling with honest poverty,
he acquired tlioso habits nml princi
ples of economy which linvo always
been distinguishing features of his
official administration in state and na
tion. Recollecting all these circum
stances, it was deemed most iltting
that tho first words in’bchhlf of Dem
ocratic principles should he uttered
upon tho soil rendered interesting by
such pleasant memories.
4 *it !s my desiro and Intention to
conduct upon my part an honorable
campaign, worthy of the inipqpiant
public questions at issde between tho
two principal parties.
•Taots and anrunrents are the wjup-
t>ns that I shall Invoke*, rather than vll-
lizcation. Ir* -great poUUeji contests
principle* and oat men Should be esson-
Hally the eomtrolUm? tomtom.”
The speaker* paid a mgh compttraen/t
to tae rnvny good aintttles of Mr. Bur
ton, the Republican candidate, mention
ing him as "the gentleman whom Mr.
Platt selected.*’
‘"We should not permit our oppo
nents,” he ontlmied. ‘Ho obscure the
real issues involved 3n this election. Wo
decline ito bentitle the important ques
tions which divtde. the tw* groat par
ties by entering upon the discussion of
the abuse* pertaining to the police de-
p&rtmene of a ohiglc city, as though the
correction of euch abuses should be
iqade a party quwbiora. Neither do we
propose to permit any other issue al
ready entirely disposed of to engross
our attention In (this campaign. The
quant Ion whether Democrats properly
br Improperly assured control of the
ft-ate isanite ii> 1831 1* powder already
bprned. which cannot be used again to
tne adva-mige of our opponents. •
Of ’the new Republican apportionment
he *add: "The unfstanem, the partisan
ship. the absolute injustice of the pro
posed apportionment admits of no ar
gument. Its purpose was openly
• avowed on -the floor of the convention
to be to oecure for the future tfie con
trol v>f the legislature of the state to the
Republicans.
"Fellow Democrats, let me tell you.
In all seriosnww. thntthe success of this
scheme at the poll* means the absolute
control of the legislature to the Repub
licans for all time to c’ome. The parti
san* who contrived this scheme of in-
luet’ce delight to prate about the ‘deal
ing’ of a single senatorial dHtrlct by
the Democrats, and yet here they un-
bliKhingly propose to eteal a whole
etat**.
•1 appeal t*b our party friends every
where to arouse to the danger which
oonfnDitts in this mutter, nnd, laying
ited? ail predtffce*. dUippoIrv.rmnts and
prefrrmcen. unite together to presrrre
the Ufa of our party, now sariously Im-
perf'ied.”
He then paid Wa attention to the
Amr-rican Protective Aseaci-ition, con
demning It In scathing terma
Speaking of President Cleveland’s
administration he sail; "Ip all its dr-
pa/rtments 1th as been honest, consist
ent and conscientious and deserves the
confidence of the people. Therefore,
you should remember that one of the
Issues the people are tSa pass upon this
fall In this state is the approval or
disapproval of Mr. Cleveland’s edmin-
istration. Not one of un regret the
splendid vote we gave Mr. Cleveland
In 1S92.
In conclusion. ‘Mr. Hill said: "If the
nomination which I have reluctantly
accepted under the circumstances with
whrtch you are ftmllhr shall be rati
fled by 'the people. I shall assume the
office under no obligation to any ring,
machine, cabal or political clique, and
free from any entangling alllmcos
whatever, and with the sole desire to
discharge my duty to the whole people
according to the host of my tbSlity.
"To party friends, I have only to say
t'ha'l past differences shall be l’org-U-
ten, and that all interests, -all sections
and all factions shall be treated fairly
and alike. I have consented to make
this canvass, not to gratify any per
sonal aimWMon, but to assist in aKKng
the Democratic cause, which Is nearer
and dearer to my heart, and with
which 1 hiave been Identified all my
political life.
“I regret that certain very estimable
gentlemen In New York city and
Brooklyn have announced thedr unwil
lingness to. give me their support at
.the election, and express a desire to
advocate 'a third -ticket. I deplore .such
action, not. In accusing them of any
Injury -to myself, but the Democratic
cause, which itheir unwise action im
peril. *.
"They know as well os I <3o that this
nomination was iroHany of my seeking,
and that for a week I .‘-ought in every
honorable -way to be relieved of the
burdens and responsibilities which its
acceptance Imposed, but I found It
Impossible. I beg only to suggest, and
hope, -that if they cannot see their way
to give me their support, that they
will loyally support my honorable as?
sooiates upon this ticket, DanleJ N.
Lockwood and Charles F. Brown,
whom I trust will consent to ‘the use
of their names as candidates upon the
third ticket, if a third ticket there
tnusft be. Tam willing to make any
sacrifice of'pride, of feeling or of ad
vantage .which will aid the Democratic
oause or any of it3 candidates In any
respect.”
Xhp senator’s reference to Grover Cleve
land, the A. P. A. denunciation, his own
desiro not to run, and many other points,
was heartily cheered by the audience.
After the meeting, Senator Hill held a
public reception at the Yates hotel and
fahook hands with a great many people.
He will leave for Bingh-Tmton tomorrow
morning, where he speaks tomorrow night.
Saturday i^ght ho will address a Demo
cratic meeting in Oneida and will then re
turn to Albany, where he will spend Sun
day.
