P. A, SYRACU! . Y., Oct. 1L—Senator David Bennett Hill sounded the keynote of his campaign for governor tonight in this ity and with his address opened a partisan battle that promises to be historical in the annals of state politics. The Alhambra ns alike have sounded the tocsin of political battle, was the scene of the opening note of warfare, The first political meeting that ever named Senator Hll for an office assembled under its roof. Some 3,000 people heard Senator Hill speak tonight and half as many more were unable to gain admittance. The Amer- lean flag was very much in evidence as a decoration and a good many of the fair se lent their presence to the occasion. The doors were opened at 7 o'clock and Within half an hour the hall and platform had been filled to repletion. The band amused the crowd until a few minutes of § o'clock and then there was an uproar, a rising in seats and great enthusiasm, as Senator Hill, dressed in a plain frock coat and black tie, stepped upon the platform, He was the usual cool, impassive statesman, and to the storm of applause made but a slight inclination of his head. When the ated Itselt, County Committee Chairman Yale stepped to the front of the platform and siid he had been authorized by the committee to name as chalrman Hon. Frederick J. Mowrey, who introduced Senator H!Il When his name was mentloned, the sena- tor stepped to the front and stood with one hand on the table, facng his audience. For some minutes he waited while the audience cheered, and then cheered again, and then he began his remarks. He was listened to with gre but was frequently Interrupted with most vociferous applause. He spoke in a clear, concise and convincing way and held his audience until the last word: His allusions to Seymour, Cleveland, Flower and the American Protective assoclation issue caused tumultuous applause. “I know of no more appropriate place in Which to open the present campafgn than be- fore the united democracy of Onandagua county.

The question whether the d>mocrats, prop-riy or jmproperly, regularly or irreguiarly, se. cured control of the slate senate In 1891, is powder already burned. [ don't intend to thresh old straw over again, but I desire simply to suggest that the democrats had fairly carried the state ticket In 1891 by 41,000 majority, and, mo legal quibble, no technlealities, and no harsh constructions of judicial enemies should have been permitted to deprive them of the eontrol of the legis- lature, to which, under such circumstances, the dominant party was.fairly entitled; and whether any law was strained or not, justice did, in fact, prevail, ‘“The republicans, last fall, accidentally obtained control of the constitutional conven- tion and have proceeded to place an appor- tionment of senate and assembly districts in their constitutional amendments to be sub- mitted to the people at this election, ‘The unfairness, the partisanship, the ab- solute injustice of the proposed apportion- ment admits of no arglment. Its purpose Wwas openly avowed on the floor of the conven- tion to secure for all the future control of the legislature of the stata to the repub- licans, and no one denfes such will be its effect.

The financial panic of last year and the succeeding hard times were the result of republican legislation enacted during Mr. Harrison’s administration. You know who passed the Sherman silver bill and the McKinley bill, and one was as detrimental to the finantes of the country as the other. One exhausted. the surplus and the other failed to produce sufficient rey- enues to support the government. “The McKinley bill was & complete failure Ty virtually broke down during the last year of the Harrison administration, the receipts belng 5o meager that the expenditures of the government nearly exceeded its revenues. Drafts made upon the Treasury department were not promptly met, among other drafts, for the payment of moneys due for pensions, and a system of transfers of balances from the different subtreasuries became neces- sary, which gave an excuse for delay in set- tlement of government olalms, when, in truth and fuct, the natign for the time being was virtually bankrupt’, With these two ob- noxious statutes repealed; .the country Is now entering upon Better times. Money is easler, trade Is reviving, imanufacturers are resuming operations, _meW .enterprises are starting up and everywhere, tliere is a feeling of security, of confidence of Frosperity. Our workingmen are rapidly finding employ- ment and the great army pfthe unemployea will saon disappear. “What the country -heeds now is an in- dustrial peace. Any Mtsempt to repeal the existing law and to gubstijute the McKinley law in its place will disturb.the business of the country. It is bettec for the country, better for everybody WAt mo such effort should be made, but that a democratic house and senate should be chosen to co- operate with the president, in giving the country industrial peace fom the next two years IMPROVED ON THE MEINLEY BILL. ““The democratic party in 893 took charge of the goverument under mnfavorable and adverse circumstances. With a slender ma- Jority in the senate and an unwieldy major- ity in the house, it Is ngt to be wondered that the measure now submitted to the judg- ment of the country does not in all respects meet the public expectations. It 1s, how- ever, vast Improvement over the McKinley law, ‘and will clearly demonstrate its superior- ity ‘as (me rolls on and the business inter- ests of the country shall adjust themseives to ts provisions. It recognizes, in part at least, the democratic doetrine of free raw materials, and In response to an cyerwhelming public sentiment has apprapriately provided for free the state by 45,000 | raw wool, free lumber and. free salt. Bvery man, despite_the republican state- ments (0 the contrary, should upderstand that another general or extensive tariff revision is not contemplated by the demograts now or in the future. This deterugnation does not pre- clude the desirability of redesming by the passage of special bills Whatever pledges we have made in our platferm or etherwise for raw materials, or the readjustment of any objectionable sugar clause.

Rosewater discuss the political fssues of the state campaign The day was made something of a holiday, the banks and most of the stores and offices out being closed in the afternoon while the meeting was in progre The buildings of the handsome little village were profusely decorated with bunting, and large American flags were hung across the streets. The town was filled with wagons and car- riages of those who had driven in from the country, The Anclent Order of United Work- men hall would not contain one-third or one-fourth of the people who desired to hear Mr. Rosewater speak. The meeting would have been held in the open air but for the high wind which filled the streets with blinding clouds of dust, Mr. Rosewater was introduced to the au- dlence by Thomas Gray, who stated that the people of Bradshaw were giad to welcome the speaker of the afternoon, not only because he was one of the distinguished citizens of Nebraska, but because when Bradshaw had been stricken and demolished by the cyelone a few years ago'no man in the state had done more for the rebuilding of the town than the editor of The Bee. For an hour and a half Mr. Rosewater dis- cussed the vital issues of the campaign in Nebraska, handling the state house jobbers, the legislative lobby and the rings without gloves. His every point was enthusiastically cheered, and while scores of voters in the audience wore Majors badges, not once was the speaker interrupted as he exposed the venality of the republican candidate for goy- ernor. At the conclusion of the address a republi- can wearing a Majors badge stated that he could count twenty-five republicans in the audience who would scratch Majors' name on the republican ticket. HIS ESTIMATE OF MAJORS, Fairfield’s Postmaster Will Cust His Vo'e Aguinst the Ringster.

Majors devoted a share of his time to explaining the coldness, or warmnes rather, between himeelf and Mr. Rosewater. The only individual whose sentiments were changed by the speeches, s far as can be learned, is Mr. Corey, the democratic post. master, He says that previous (o the meet. ing he intended to vote for Majors, but after bearing him speak he has reconsidercd the matter and will vote a scralght democratic ticket 1f it can be found, ~s-There are three straight tickets in the fleld i’ this county at present, but It {s rumoced that the democrats and populists are making 4 Stronig effort to gel*togethet on a b asis and divide the spoils by having a part of the candidates on each ticket withdray.
