This made young Weed smile , for ho real

Cenoral Slcklos said tbo democracy of Now
York and the nation approached the prest
dcntlal campaign of Ib92 with n deep scnso
of responsibility , Imposed on them by the
signal victories of Ih'JO ' and 1SD1. Ho could
not fall to see that the nmtlfost purpose of
the people of this country wns to dlsn.lss the
republican party from further control of the
federal government. The stnto of Now York
had often hud thu grand fortti'io to bo honored -
orod by the choice of ono of its cltl/cns us
thn champion of the national democracy. If
again Invited by their comrades In other
states to put forward n randldato for the
chief tnagistrcy of the nation , they were
prepared to ask their stiff rniros for n states
man whoso record already placed him In the
group made Illustrious bv the names of Van
llnren , Wright , Marcy , Seymour und Tlldon.
Thov should present the nnmo of a loader
whoso banner was inscribed with many
victories and under which the democracy of
Now York never had boon and never will bo
defuutcd the leader who was elected to the
senate of the United Suites without the ex
penditure of n dollar ; n loader loved because
the enemies of the democratic party hated
nnd feared him ; n leader in whom the votorah
Boullers had always found a steadfast friend ;
u leader whoso success was always the
triumph of his uartv ; n leader whose election
to the presidency of Iho United Slates would
glvo to the people nn administration guided
by the principles , the traditions at Jdltorson
and Jackson.
James W. Hldgoway of Kings county next

David II , Mill an the candidate for prosldunl

Tlio snld delegates are further lnstrnote < l tenet
not an a unit In all mutters Intriuted to their
CburKO , said act to bo determined by thu votu
of a majority of delegates ,
Whoc the passage instructing for David
O. Illll was read the air was shaken by au
outburst that made the bunting quiver , and
when tbo resolutions were unanimously
adopted the cheers broke forth again and
subsided only whan Colonel John It. Fellows
rota lu his place near the front of thu Tain
many delegation and moved that a committee
bo dolef mod to wait upon Senator Hill and
roqu&st him to nppor before and address the
convention.
While this committee was on Us way , Sec
relarv of Stota Ulco banded up the report o
the committee to which was entrusted tn
preparation of the list of national delegates
and alternuUs-at-lnrco und by districts.
Then the band felt a murmur and saw tn
white sea of faces turned backward towart
tbo entrances and thu strains of a stirring
Ir broke out from the throats of brass In
tmmonts. The murmur nrow in volume
nd at last three moving figures were scan
mshlng through the crowd at the end of the
Isle nnd the pale fnco of Senator tllll was
Iscovorcd. They came to n standing posi-
lon. Every man on the floor nnd many of
ho ladles In boxes were on tholr foot waving j
inndkerchiefs. The din died only of oxhnus-
ton , as Mr. Hill upon tbo nrm of Colonel
fellows walked down the al lo. Com-
tig fairly upon the stage , Mr.
llll shook Lands with General
Sickles , removed his overcoat , took from ono
f his pockets his speech In printed copy and
vnltcd for the npplnuso to subside. When
llonco had como on the throng , General
Slcklos loaning upon his crutch waved his
leht hand toward Mr. Hill , saving : "I
iresont to you , gentleman of this convention ,
ho young Hickory of the democracy , our
next presldoi.tlal candidate , David H. Hill. "
Then cnmo moro cheers nnd added din nnd
.Ir. . Illll stood waiting , his fnco very palo
nnd ono hand tightlv grasped in nnrvoui
enslon. At length tlio nolso subsided nnd
icnntor Hill spoke , saying :
AVIittt "Tho YIIIIIIK Hliikory" Said.
"Fellow democrats : Your committee ,
ummonlng mo to this presence , have an-
> rlsod mo of the unanimous vote which
nnko known your approval of mo to authored -
; od roprojontntlves of democracy of
ho United SUtcs nnd which xvill
10 recorded In the annals of
our national convention. With whet term *

ow democrats , which , Instead of pointing tu
omo now untried career , might aptly reward
nnd crown the labors of the longest llfof
Vera thnt great cardinal whoso 'Ltad
Clndly Light' has touched the garb of all
Christendom , let my grntltudo humbly bor
row this worthier response than I nnself
could volco to the great democracy whom
you represent. My respect for them obllgos
no to submit mysoll for tholr prnlso ns to u
rave and emphatic Judgment "of act , which
t uould be rndo to question , unthankful note
, o bo proud of nnd impossible over to for ot.
"Tho reawakening of democracy nil over
the laud-Is the most auspicious sign of the
linos. When the pcoplo of tha United
States rote against oppression a hundred
rears ntro It meant revolution , n chnngo of
tilers nnd n social onrtluiunko. When the
democracy of America arises today , It moans
in upheaval * nt the ballot box , n change of
.ho political forms.
"This is n government of , by nnd for the poo-
) lo. When you see the farmers arousing und
ill allied ; when you see the federations of
"abor stirring ; when you see In every state
, ho pieat democratic party up nnd afoot , it
noans thnt the reign of plutocrats Is nearly
ivor nnd the bright day of democracy Is
mslonlnp to n glorious dawn. The use of
lolltlcnl pnrtlot is to promote the expression

urogrcss nnd release tholr energies to a

Iborty'ls its vital air.
Democracy's Mission.
Constitutions and laws are the voluntary
ROlf-unposcd aufoiruards of government. If
my volco foU'.d ' roach ovnry llro-.ido in the
.and . this is what 1 would ask 1113' fellow
clti/ens to consider. All our troubles , nil
our ddhgors at this very hour , follow from
unconstitutional legislation by Iho very men
who sit in shivering Ills over what the
democracy will do with powor. On the other
Imnd the democratic parly would see all
broad principles based upon a people's will.
The republican party neither trusts the people
ple nor obeys them. It now requires such
inithor upheaval ut the ballot box ns thut of
1891) to bo convinced that the wicked work of
the Billion dollar congress must bo repealed
nnd the peoplo's will obeyed. Fellow demo
crats , I rejoice to know by ttioso Infallible
signs , by the ground swell , oy the re awak
ening of democratic hosts , by the arousal of
hii'h and noble young ambitions through our
land , that wo nro ad van cine to a cordial
union and an overwhelming triumph. "
Continuing Mr. Hill said. "Tho Sherman
silver law now transforms the federal coinage -
ago power of silver and gold into an instru
ment for the gradual expulsion of our gold ,
fpr thn .establishment of nn exclusive basis
nnd for the permanent reduction of ovcry
American dollar by 'M per cent or moro below
the level of Its true value during tno whole
period of our frea bimoialllo coinngu
from 1873 to 1SS3. Shall such a law
stand ! There has been no such
legislation for freemen sluco Cromwell
called the law of Englnnd a 'tortuous und
ungodly Jumblo. ' The demand for repeal of
these edicts of the billion-dollar congress has
extorted from republican leudeis their pub
lished purpose to refuse repeal.
Touches on Titrlir ItcfVirm.
Repeal Is not a proposal to stop at the tar
iff of 1SS3 as a ilnalty. My language ex
pressly barred out that absurd idea. More
over , with the tariff of 1SS3 as the law of the
land , In the hour of our defeat throe years
ugo' , I Mild hero in Albany , 'tho democratic
party nails to the must the Hag of tariff re
form. , ' Tariff reform will romnin and require
progressive solution with the wise and poli
tic muthod of abolishing , whenever practic
able , onu after another , ono Indefensible tax
at , a tune , until the Mclvlnlov laws todnv nro
replaced by the tariff of 1SS ! ! . I do not lllnch
from the advance line of entrenchment
which the democrats of New York hnvo
won , kept and will guard. I do not
shirk a deadly grapple with the republican
revolutionists , whoso Dahnors no longer fly
the tariff of ISSa , but lly the mad McKInley
laws ana tbo wild Sherman law and mock
us from the cttndcls of powor.
"Tha cuuso of tariff reform has lately made
a great practical advance. Secretary Man
ning in his last report of 18SO adIsod con
gress to begin practical tarllT reform by a
single net an act for free wool , an act un-
taxtiiK the clothing of about 00,000,000 pooplo.
Ono year later , In 1S37 , the secretary's report
was 'writ largo' tu a message of the presi
dent. .Now , tlvo years later , ono of our most
enlightened economists , David A. Wells ,
writes to Iho chairman of ways und means
that the path of progress which
Secretary Manning blazed llrst Is the true
path. It is a maxim of sound policy , bettor
lilted to win elections than to lese thorn.
Bettor dlvldo Into easy chapters the lesson
of n long cumpalcn of education. Abolish ,
whenever you can , ono after another , ono in
defensible tax nt a tlino. This Is true pro-
gross. In the success of our causa wo may
now bo bettor assured. "
The speech was cheered loudly at its close ,
and tha band played , "Throe Cheers for the
HodVhlto and Blue. "
The motion to adjourn came quickly then ,
and tha convention , at 5M p. rn. , adjourned

Ai.iiA.sr , N. Y , , Feb. t'i. ! In the recess in
terim of the state convention at Biookor ball ,
the antl-wintor convention men gathered at
Union hall on Kaglo street , only a block from
tha oxocutlvo mansion. At 3:80 : Hon.
Charles S. Falrablld , as chairman of the
committe o of llfty , called the meeting to
order and submitted a statement in iho
nature of a report as chairman of that com-
mlttoo.
Ho said the committee , In pursuance of tbo
Instructions given at the Cooper union mass
mooting In Now York , requested the state
central committee to dissolve the convention
called for this day and the committee
had declined , la anticipation of such
action by the state commlttoo the
mass mooting had instructed the com
mittee of llfty to take such measures as
might doom advisable to secure a proper
representation of democracy of the state nt
the Chicago convention. Continuing , he
said : "Your work of today will , I believe ,
bo such that you will moot again with countless -
loss thousands of your follow democrats In
spired with high purposes and high hopes
for our beloved party , "
IlositMl by the Machine.
Mr. Falrehild presented Mr. Locke of Buf
falo as chairman. Ho said , on taking the
chair : "In the history of parties
it becomes necessary for good citl-
zens to assort and maintain their rights.
Such on occasion now confronted the
democracy of Now York. Its organization
bad boon seized by unscrupulous repre
sentatives of a more faction ana had bocn
uied as an instrument to frustrate the will
of majority. " In conclusion ho urged such
action as would bo a reUoctlon of true do-
Hire * oMruo democracy ot the state.
Mr. t , . miory Anderson was called upon
nnd made a stirring speech which was ire-
quently interrupted by applause. Following
bis speech an address to the democrats
of the state was road as follows :
TO THE OCMOCJUTIO KLSUTOKS Of Till
STATE or NswYtmx : The present demo
cratic stnto commlttoo wns lipnolntcd by the
stnto convention of 1S9I. Its controlling
membership was secured nt that convention
bv the ndmUsion ot numerous Irrcculnr con
testing deifications , nnd bv the exclusion of
delegates regularly elected by Iho majority
of democratic voters , The stnto committee
has complete control over thu machinery by
which delegates ma } obtain scats In the con
vention. It exorcise ? absolute Jurisdiction
In making up the preliminary roll which do-
tcrmlnos the tnomborthlpoi the co'nmlttos
an contested scats. The experience of IS'H
has taught you that no matter how complete
the vole may bo in caucuses , lu the assembly
district conventions , If the result is not sat-
Isfnctory the delegates r.hoson by the demo
cratic electors will bo sot aside lu favor of n
delegation havlnir no shadow of right except
subserviency to the state committee ,
tlniign ol I be I'nrty Itcrltpil.
All the Issues Involved In the pending
campaign are of the titmoit gravity. These
Issues uro tariff reform , oy which is meant n
radical revision of the tariff. In nccordnnrn
with the principles of the platforms of 187(1 ( mid
IMS , nnd honest inonny , by which is meant
the preservation ut all times of nn equality
of intrinsic values of our gold nnd sllvor cur
rency. All the democratic olootorn of thU
state nro entitled to bo fairly represented in
a convention called to declare thu sentiment
of the stale on those Issues nnd Its preference
ns to the standard benror boat qualified to
sccuro their trium pliant vindication ot Iho
polls.
The uniform democratic usnijo for the past
twenty years , bv which the quadrennial con
ventions to elect providential delegates have
bocn hold not earlier than the middle of the
month of April , has become so established
ns to hnvo the force of party law. It Is the
duty of party ofllclals to follow the usages of
their party , and to call conventions In the
accustomed manner. The uuliun of the stnto
committee In suddenly calling n convention
In mid-winter In the interest of a particular
candidate dcnloj to the electors the full and
fnir representation to which they nro on-
tilled.
For the first time iti the history of party
wo Hud the state committee onltstbd In the
cause of n favored candidate who shrinks
from submitting lils'L-vso to thn test of a
free and full vote of democracy. It has used
Its powers for the avowed purpose of serving
his personal ambition .insteadof affording to
nil the democratic elector ' * , an qqtinl and fair
opportunity to oxptoo's tholr preferences
both us to tno Issues mid candidates. It has
become the Instrument of a .faction Instead
of being the renrosoutatlvo of vtho whole
party.
Mini Ignore Iho Machinery.
The welfare of party , both in this state
and in iho nation demands that-nil the demo
cratlc electors bo equally heard and repre

After the llrlng had ccnsod , It
was found thnt twenty-four civilians had

Editor of TUB BKI : : 1 um in receipt of your
very poll to letter of the llth instant and I am
now also In receipt of the editorial from the
Globe-Democrat , on , the authority of which
your statement was mndo , that I was hostile
to the abolition of tilbal relations. Your
editorial was evidently Justified from the
statement mndo lu the 'Globe-Democrat , but
I am greatly surprised nnd not a little morti-
lied that ton 3 cars hard labor hero devoted
almost exclusively to the abolition of tribal
relations of tbo Indians , doalme with cacti
"individual Indian and endeavoring lo sot
him up in severally and ns a self-supporting
cittzon of the United States has made so
ilittlo impression upon the Globo-Domocrat ,
.ind 'you will pardon mo for saving , Tun
.OMAHA BEE also , ns to load both of you to
believe thnt I wns opposed to the very wont
I was engaged In. I venture to say without
bouxtinc tbut there has nothing been done in
congress for tha last ton years loading to the
'abolition ' nf the tribal relations of the
Indians tf it did not originate with mo , had ,
nevertheless , mv hearty support.
Moruncrc.s of Indian rosorvatlons have
Peen'oponi to the public ns a part of the pub
lic domain for settlement during that tun
years than in the twenty live years preced
ing. ! The severally net which I had the
hoiior to draft , strikes ut the very vitals of
the trlb-U r.ilallons. 1 thiulc all this mis-
lalio has arisen from some remarks I have
mndo upon the Undue /enl of sorco of our
'Indfan ' Hends who have chosen for their
motto three things : First , "Down with the
Kescrvatlons ; " second , "Nntionnl Courts for
the Indians ; " third. "Kducntion for the
Indian. " 'I ' ventured to criticiso the order in
which lUcso mottoes were published ns the
work laid out for the friends of tbo Indian ,
nnd to sav that the order should bo rovorcod ;
und thnt "Down with Reservations" should
bo tbo last , not the first. To abolish the res
orvatlon before you hud taken euro of thu
India * either by establishing mm on u homo
and teaching him to boselfupportini ; or by
mailing him n herder or giving him tome
other employment , would bo like turning out
a flock of sheep withouishophcrds , etc. The
abolition of the reservation should bo the re-
sult-of making the Indian .self-supporting.
If nnybodv knows what to do with a troop
W wild Indinhs without a reservation they
know moro than I do , nnd thn Ido.i of estab
lishing United States courts over wild In-
dlnns 'who have no reservation ! . , no local
habitations , and have as much right to bo In
'one place ns any other , is an undertaking
that I do not know how it could bo carried
out.
out.Tho1 order in'which I hnvo been nt work In
thl bnSinesi tins been : First , to tench Indi
vidual Inilians how to take care of thorn-
solves ; second , to give him u homo and make
hltnu ohli-pn ; third , to open to the puhllu
domain what Is loft of his reservation , which
falls to pieces of Itself the moment you take
t'ho Individual Indians and make homos for
them/'lj of course , may be mistaken In this
line of business , but that is exactly what 1
urn doing , and no one has a right to Infer
from If that I um opposed to the abolition of
tribal relations. To my mind the tribal rela
tions will'molt'away like a snow bank under
the summer sun if this work goes on in the
way I have Indicated. I am trulv yours ,

purpose of discussing the beat moan * to com
pel Parliament to grant universal suifrngo.
It was resolved to organize uu enormous
demonstration for Mny 1 , to embrace hun
dreds of thousands of worklngmon who
nro demanding universal suffrage. The
congress decided ngnlnst n pcn-
ornl strike as an additional moans
of bringing pressure to boar on the govern
ment , because of the misery and suffering
caused by last year's strlUo. It Is probable
this menus will , however , bo resorted to If
the revision of the constitution does not
grant universal suffrage. A proposition to
present addresses to the king was rejected
on tno ground that n majority of the work-
ittgnion are socialists and republicans who
want to have nothing to do with n sovereign.
Meanwhile It Is evident that parliament
has no Intention of granting universal suf
frage or anything approaching It , nnd that
the tendency is to Increase the royal power
of veto bv seine kind of n roforondum.

The Journal des Dobats holds that the solid

The Martin , Kvoument , Sloclo , Itupubllqtio

In parliamentary chclus the resignation of
the present ministry is paid to have boon the
conviction prevalent among the radicals that

Special to Tnn Bni.1 ! The crisis continues
nn'd President Carnet is In his turn playing
the role that has so often been played by dis
tinguished statesmen of the Chamber of
Senators. Mean while It is probable that M.
Hibot will become president of the council ,
loturnlngnt the same time the portfolio of
foreign affairs , and that M. do Froycmet will
remain minister of war. It is safe to say
that in the future thcsq two ministers will
Hold themselves aloof from any political
crisis.
There was considerable dignity In the
manner in which M. do Frcyclnot handed
his resignation to President Carnal. In the
presence of all the ministers ho calmly told
the president that It was impossible for him
to hold olllce uny longer. Then , in a voice
trembling with emotion , ho added tboso
words , which wore repeated to mo Dy ouo
who was present at ttm Interview :
"Wo have done our duty so far ns foreign
relations nro concerned. Indeed-thero is
only one policy for us to pursue In
this respect. The bonds with which wo nro
allied to other powers nro too close to bo
broken. England will romnin neutral und
will bo candid while u liberal ministry ls in
power , and hostile while conservnntios hold
olllco. In this direction nothing more can bo
expected. In regard to the smaller powers
it will bo soon that the support offered thorn
is iiisufllcient , and In regard to Hussla it
must ba admitted that our efforts have been
crowned with success. Indeed , the nlllanco
has become stronger nvury day and our
foreign relations over continue to bo more
thorough and practical.
"As far as our domestic relations nro con
cerned , the only policy to pursue I um
speaking from n religious point of view Is
one of tolerance nnd piciilcaUon. If our
successors adopt the same policy as wo
adopted they .vlll do well. "
President Carnet was deeply moved und
there wore tears in his eyes as ho made his
replv. Finally ho accepted the resignation.
Hlslntlmalo friends , however , are convinced
that ho will tnuUo as few changes as possi
ble. They are right. It U qullo clear that
the Influence of the lilyeoo is bojng directed
toward the removal of nil embarrassments ,
and that M. Constans will Join him in this.

Mr. Monroe , the chairman of the commit
tee , stated thut the objection to the ordlnauca
was that It rohbod the Seventh ward of hy
drants nnd brought them Into the heart of tuo
city.Tho
The record shows thnt the ordinance , had
it passed , would have lesultoil in thu removal
of seven hvdrants from the First ward , six
from the Second , two from the Fifth and
eleven from the Seronth ward. At the same
time it would have caused the location of
thioo hydrants in the First ward , four in the
Second ! two In the Third , thirteen in the
Fourth and four In the Fifth.
A Rlanco at the m.ip shows that the con
templated removals were all from the out
skirts of the citv , in isolated and sparsely
settled districts.
Mr. Monroe raised another objection nnd
said thut the committee had not looked over
the ground , but would within the nexi
month. In company with the chief of the
lire department ho would visit all poitlons of
the city and decide what hydrants could bo
relocated without inflicting any injury upon
any portion of the city. In his opinion there
woiont least 100 hydrants that could bo re
located , ns there ware that many that were
useless on account of being n long distance
from any residence or business houso. Ha
had some doubts about the council having
authority to take out hydrants on which the
city wns paying a rental of $ ( iO
per annum nnd relocating thorn as Interme
diate hydrants on which thn rental would ho
but $10 par annum , the price stipulated In the
charter granting the franchise"to the water
works company. Mr. Monroe staled that
when bo had made up his mind upon these
points ho would report an ordlnanco re
locating all of the useless hydrants lu the
city.
city.Mr. . Elsnssor looked nt the matter In on
altogether diffotont light. Ho hud tukon
legal udvlpo upon the subject of the reloca
tion of lire hydrntus und was positive that the
city had a legal right to go Into any portion
of tlio city und take up useless hydrants
for the purpose of relocating thorn , provided
the now location wns upon the line of some
existing water main. In ordoilng out
hydrants no partiality had boon shown to
ward any particular ward. The Seventh
ward would hnvo lost the most hydrants had
the ordinance passed , but they would have
been taken from places whore thoia woiu no
houses and would not bo durlnt ; the next llvii
years unless the city had nn unprecedented
growth.
The idea was to bring mostof the hydrants
Into iho business portion of the city for the
purpose of affording bettor llro protection to
the business men nnd tholr proportv. They
were not to bo located on struct corners , but
on alley lines whuro they would
bo known ns intermediate hydrants on whlcn
the city would pay nn annual rental of $10
per annum.
The city had that kind of n contract with
the waior woiks company and there wua
nothing to prevent siich A removal ,
Mr. Ulsussor had figured on the cost of re
moving and losonint'hydrnnU. Hwouid ho
from $10 to $15 for each hydrant , which
would include the expense of ( lifting out ,
hauling to the DOW location , resetting und
connecting with thn mains. Had thoordi.
nnnro passoil , on the twenty-six hydrants the
cltv would have saved ? 010 the llrst yo'ir , ns
the ruutul in the now location would have
umounind to but WOO Instead of tlMU nit In
their present locations. Tliouxnuiisoof set-
ling would not have boon moro than t'.VM at
the most.
Thu city , Mr. Elsatsor said , hud set n num
bar of IntormcdiuU ) hydrants alonu the allot B
on Sixteenth street nnd the water works
company hud acquiesced by accepting Sip per
annum icntuls , If the hydrants were trans
planted nlong wntqr mains on which no hyd
rants hud been sot , the city would bo liable
for the W per annum rental , but In this case
no such locations were contemplated by the
ordinance.
