enthusiastic Democrats greeting the
governor at each stopping place. The
governor’s remarks at each stop were
necessarily brief. They were devoted
in ■ be mdin to the tariff.
The first stop was at Schenectady,
where the governor addressed about
9,000 persons from the platform of his
car. He pointed ont that in the big
works of the General Electric company
in that city only 2,500 were employed
nnder a Republican administration,
Whereas now under returning industri
al prosperity, the number is nearly
4,000.
\t Amsterdam he spoke for abont 15
initiates to 1,500 persons. He said he
did not believe that Amsterdam wanted
anotlker nine months of tariff agita
tion and revision just to gratify Major
McKinley’s presidential aspirations and
to further the political designs of the
Republican party. Tho new tariff, lio
said, should have a fair trial. At the
close three cheers were given for David
B. Hill.
The arrival at Fonda was announced
by the booming of cannon. The gover
nor addressed a large crowd from a
stand in the park. Hta remarks were
interrupted by a passing locomotive. He
said he would charge that np to Mr.
Depew.
At Little Falls upwards of 3,000 per
rons were at the depot to greet the
party. It was “cheese day,” and the
governor improved the opportunity to
talk abont the oleomargarine law. He
predict* 1 80,000 plurality for Hill. In

who is a Cleveland Democrat, remarked
that he would have voted against Mr.

The marines lately have been able to
have two consecutive days off guard,
which has been a great relief from the
severity of “day on and day off,” to
which they were for a long time sub
jected, bnt still in comparison with the
army, where the men are never less
than five consecutive days off guard, the
present duties are too much of a tar on
the physical energies of the marines,
aud to produce better results more men

DEMOCRATS FIGURE.
Forty Thousand Majority Bolow the Har
lem River Will Elect Hill.
Nirw York,Oct. 81.—The Democratic
state committee has begun to do some
figuring. John Boyd Thacher said that
if Ilill gets 40,000 majority below the
Harlem river he wiil be elected. If
New York, Kings, Queens, Suffolk and
Richmond counties give him only this
majority his victory is assured.
Mr. Thacher says he expects that Mor
ton’s majority alxjve the Harlem river
will be only 40,000. Senator Hill, he
says, would get a majority of 22,000 in
Albany and would poll a big vote in
Syracuse.
These figures, however, do not agree
with the statement of Chairman Hack-
ett, of the Republican committee, who
said that Mr. Morton would come to
the Harlem river with 100,000 votes to
spare.
It was said at Democratic state head
quarters that W. Bourke Cookran, who
is stumping the state for .Mr. Hill, had
broken down and wculd cancel his en
gagements. It is said his throat trouble
has broken out again.
