Governor Hill, ac companied by J, S. Ewnn and G. W. BlaVe, arrived here sTiortly after 6 o'clock last evening nnil were at once drlvon to the residence of Prosecutor Welly, where a re ception was held in the governor's honor. The meeting the governor was to address was set for 8 o'clock and the hull was filled to lt utmost capacity long before that time. Governor Hill did not reach the hall till about 0 o'clock, when the pent up en thusiasm of the crowd broke out In a tre menduous round of applause. Mr. Welty acted as chairman and Introduced Gov ernor Hill as one of tho most distinguished men in tho country and the future presi dent. (Invornor Hill's Siepoh. In his nddress Governor 11111 prefaced bis remarks by dwelling on tho elections bill; the admission of the new states and called the McKtnlcy nn Infamous tariff bill, the sum of all vlllanles. He said tho primary object of a tariff was to raise the necessary expenses of gov ernment, and no more should bo raised. Tho plaeo for tho surplus was In the pockets of tho masses. Republicans had reduced the surplus by unprecedented ex travagant appropriations, redeeming their pledges and endangering a deficiency. He denied that the Democrats were ever com mitted to free trade, and asserted that it favored more than any other party ever organlicd protection to American labor. The tariff must be high enough to equalize wages between countries. He defended tho Mills bill ns furnishing adequate pro tection to every laborer and as subserving the best Interests of the country. Mr. MrKlnlei- AttRtkvd rolltlcnlly. Barring the free list every article, on which Urift reduced in that bill retained 0 sufficient duty to equalize wages. Demo crats insist that little or no tariff should be placed on necessities or raw material for manufacture. He said it was hoped to popularize tho McKinley bill by benefit ing all a little, but government should have little to do wltb business interests. McKinley was tho strongest protectionist ever in congress. No monopolist ever ap plied to him in vain. No wages had been raised since the bill Dashed, and the Drices of nprR4lrlpa hftfl rlnpn. lip nplcnnwlpdr.p.1 i that merchants were taking advantage of the bill, but charged that the bill furnished the opportunity. Ho denounced the bill as framed in the Interest of monopoly and to tho injury all other classes. Wages and the Tariff. Ho denied that the tariff kept up wages In this country, and accounted for the higher wages here by the greater ability and Intelligence of the people and through labor organizations. He denounced the unseating of Democratic representatives from the south: thendmlsslonof Wyoming and Idaho and the rejection of New Mex ico, alleging tbat the latter was equal to both the former, and charging it all to partisanship. He said congress bad been in session for months without rules. Speaker Reed, promising to act according to established parliamentary law, had re- lused to recognize Democrats desiring to speak and Ignored the rights of the minor ity. He spoks of tho elections bill in the most bitter language, saying It surpassed the tariff and all other issues as the great question of the hour, and appealing to the people to resent it. The New York Census. He dented that there are dishonest elec tions in the south, and said the colored people were happy and contented, and those not votlug did not want to. He charged that the bill endangered the liber ties of the people, and the Republican census officials were Imposing falso returns In New York to deprive the state of its Just representatives in congress by keeping the population down. A Hle'i Tribute to Mr. McKinley. Bpeaklflg locally, ho eulogized Mr, War wick and paid a high tribute to Mr. Mc Kinley, crediting him with ability, Integ rity and Intellect personally, but denounc ing him politically as a bitter partisan, unworthy of a single complimentary vote from Democrats, whom he long misrepre sented in congress. He said no ruling of Speaker Iteetf s was so outrageous or par tisan out that nnu iMcivmiey's indorse ment, or at least he bad not tho courage to oppose it. McKinley bad opposed every measure for the good of the country introduced since he had been In Congress. Ho as sured the Democrats of the district that they had no easy task, and said the whole country was watching the district, and every voter would ho approached to for sake uls alliance with the Democracy. Governor Hill this morning went to Woos ter and thence to Millcrsburg Thursday and Maslllon Friday. Grant's Letter of Acceptance. Nkw Youk, Oct. 23.

In defense of his administration he points to the de creased tax levy, the Increased opening of streets, the improved pavements, the many new docks built (the latter insuring the retention of commerce that might have p,nne elsewhere), the work on new school buildings and the cutting of overhead wires and placing them underground, lie points with pride to the police una lire de partments, and to the Fusion party he re plies that the running of the city by a political parry uas proveu. a success.
