A member of the staff of the Russian embassy ot this city In formed tlio Associated press correspondent this evening that the czar fully expects to die , but Is eager for his removal to Corfu , the latter step becoming Imperative if the only chance to save his. life Is taken. J'rof. Leyden persists In his rather favor able diagnosis of the czar's case , and he fully believes lhat If It is left entirely in Ms hands he " 111 be able to effect a cure. The czar la Incessantly worried , first , about the plainly approaching death of his son George , and secondly , the conduct of the czarewltch , who stubbornly refuses to marry Princess Allx. The Russians assign the re fusal to the great love of the czarewltch for Ms mistress , who seems to have such a hold upon him that for the sake of keepIng - Ing her he has offered to renounce Ma right ot succession to the throne. * At the same time , the czar fears for the welfare of Hus- Ela , and perhaps for the peace of Europe , If a regency Is necessary. These worries , 3yrof. Leydcm asserts , constitute the great est feature of the czar's case. VI.SITi : ! ) Till !

Y. , Oct. 11. Senator David < Bennett Hill sounded the keynote of his campaign i for governor tonight In 'this city and with Ms address opened a partisan battle that promises to be historical In the annals ol state politics. The Alhambra rink , where democrats and republicans 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 Iflll for nn 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 waa very much In evidence as a decoration and a good many of the fair sex lent their presence to the occasion. The doors were opened at 7 o'clock and Vilthln half an hour the hall nnil platform had been filled to repletion. The band amused the crovrtl until a few minutes of 8 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 cheers and applause had subsided and the vast audience hail again seated Itself , County Committee Chairman Yale stepped to the front : of the platform and said he had been authorized by the committee to name as chairman : Hon. Frederick J. Mowrey , who Introduced Senator Hill. When his name was mentioned , the sena tor stepped ) to the front and stood with one ham on the table , fac ng his audience. Tor some minutes he waited while the audience cheered , and then cheered again , and then he began Ms remarks. - He waa listened to with great attention , but was frequently Interrupted with most vociferous applause. He spoke In a clear , concise ana convincing- way and held his audience until the last word ? His allusions to Seymour , Cleveland , Flower and the American Protective association Issue caused tumultuous applaute. "I know of no more appropriate place In which < to open the present campaign than be fore the united democracy of Onandagua county. ( Applause. ) It Is with pleasure that I recall my first nomination for a state office , which < occurred In the city of Syracuse , and that during all my political career the de mocracy of this city has been among my most earnest supporters. mos"I GENEROUS TO HIS FOES. "I recognize the right of every democrat prior to the final nomination of a candidate lo oppose ; , criticise and defeat such candidacy , and such privilege or the propriety of Its exerciseIn any Instance lias never been questioned by me. "I am so reminded lhat this county was the birthplace : of that distinguished nnd sterling democrat and statesman , Horatio Seymour ( applause ) , from hose lips I first learned the lessons of true democracy , and that It was also Iho boyhood home for many years of the I present democratic president of the United States. "In n country Ilko ours , which Is gov erned by political parties and not by royal families , the existence of at least two great parties Is essential to the general welfare. There must necessarily be dlffeienccs of opinion on some public questions , and such differences , honestly entertained , furnish no excuse for coarse abuse or bitter personal reflections. 1 propose to conduct a credita ble canvass In behalf of my party which has honored ma with Its leadership , so thai at Its conclusion , whatever the result , I shall be able to retain at least my own self-re spect and I hope as well Ihe personal re spect of my adversaries , "For the distinguished and venerable gen tleman whom the republican parly has se lected as my opponent In this campaign , or more accurately speaking , the gentleman whom Mr. Platt selected and whose selection Ihe convention subsequently ratified , I have nothing but the kindliest feelings and the most profound personal respect. I acknowl edge his many excellent qualities and am Indebted to him for many courtesies while he was the presiding officer of the senate. Of genial disposition , of conceded business ability nnd of large means' , ho naturally attracts friends , and his candidacy for any position which he may co\et becomes most formidable and dangerous. REVIEWED MORTON'S ' HISTORY. "Born In the state of Vermont , prohibi 1- tion Vermont , let me observe , the state ! whose- republicanism Is most extreme and Illiberal in Its character , he afterwards re moved to New Hampshire , and It Is a pe culiar and significant fact , not without spe cial Interest In this campaign , that all the while Mr. Morton lived in New Hampshire and until as late as the year 1867 , the con stitution of that state was most prescriptive li Its terms and roy , actually prohibited rom > person 'not of the Protebtant religion' from being governor or u member of either house ot the legislature , and Its bill of rights then provided and still provides that only 'Protestant teachers of piety , religion and morality' may be maintained at the public expense of the respective towns of tlio state. "It Is not Impossible the early , narrow as sociations ( of Vermont and the prescriptive sentiments of New idr Hampshire which sur rounded Mr. Morton during his residence rIn those states may have Influenced his convic tions upon certain public questions and led ton his selection In this peculiar crisis. "Everybody knows the real republican can didate for governor Is not Mr. Morton , nut Mr. Platt himself. It Is the voice of Lovk but the hand ot Thomas. The people of the state have not forgotten the fact that for every office which Mr. Morton has aspired to , ho has been pushed forward by Mr. Platt. And now this same very respectable and ven erable gentleman at Ihe age of 71 years , was selected by Mr. Piatt ase months before the re publican convention convened as his , te for governor when the nomination by right l , and according to precedent , belonged to others whom the parly would havb delighted to honor , and the people of the state- are ed to ratify his personal selectionI don't fall to appreciate the business qualifications , the IX- cellent character and unquestioned political ability of Mr. Platt. I differ from him politi cally , but as citizen ttve c.im a and gentleman I have nothing to say against him , and decline to be ono of his traduccrs. He has a perfect right : tcsi bo ambitious and to aspire lo the governor ship of this state , but I do Insist he should bo a candidate In person and not by proxy. SELECTED HIS OWN ISSUES. "Wo would not penult our opponents toe obscure the real Issues Involved in this elec tion. We decline to belittle tin Important questions that divide the two great parties by entering upon the discussion of the abuses pertaining to the police department of a sin . gle city , as though the correction of such abuses could b made a party question. The : democratic party ot the state will not sanc tion ! republican or democratic bluckmall , whether dltcoveied In democratic or republi t can municipalities , and It Is an Insult llto the Intelligence of the people to assume oth erwise. We refuned to be placed upon the defensive upon fal e lssue . The pluln ; ruth la : , the pollc department of New York IB a ncnpartlsan , or rather a bl-partlsan depart ment , governed by cjvll service rules , and that the Irreguhrltlei or abuses recant I y indX poied have already Implicated more repub lican thin democratic police officials , nnd tint such exposur t have been followed by prompt dUmlisala ! from the force and prompt prose > cutions at the instance of zealous democratic city and county officers. "It In Idle to think a ktate election can be madei to turn upon such purely local matters. It has not escaped public attention that the partisan Lexow committee lias not sought to discover any police nb'uecs Inj'any ' of the re publican cities ot the ; ftnte , ' * aril with such unfair discriminations { the people will not tolerate any attempt'to mince'partisan cap ital out of the report * of only ft partial Inves tigation. Neither cfo 'th-ey - proposeto per mit any other Issues , " * entirely disposed of , to engross our attention In this campaign. The question whether the democrats , proprly or Improperly , rcgularfr or Irregularly , se cured control ot the Elate senate In 1891 , Is powder already burned. I don't Intend to thresh old straw over fegaln , but I desire simply to suggest that the democrats had fairly carried tlio state ticket In 1891 by 47,000 majority , nnd.no legal quibble , no technicalities , nnd no harsh constructions of judicial enemies should Imvo been permitted to deprive them ot the control of the legis lature , to which , under inch circumstances , the dominant party was .fairly entitled ; nnd whether any law yro strained or not , Justice did , in fact , prevail. "Tho republicans , last fall , accidentally obtained control of the constitutional conven tion and have proceeded to place nn appor tionment ol senate mid assembly districts In their constitutional amendments to be sub mitted to the people al this election. "The unfairness , the partisanship , the ab solute Injustice of the .proposed apportion ment admits of no argument. Its purpose was openly avowed on the floor of the conven tion lo secure for all the future control of the legislature of the Btatq to the repub licans , and no ono denies such will be Its effect. Every democratic member of the constitutional convention voted against the scheme , and thereafter , " Usual an address to the people , giving In" detail their reasons thcrc'or. "I cannot better detcribe the scheme to disfranchise the democrats , of the Elate than by reading i to you what our representatives In that t convention so truthfully and tersely said concerning It In the address : " 'The republican majority has incorporated In the constitution n plan apportionment which violates the fundamental rules of pop ular representation , f- " 'This plan prevents any . .now apportion ment until after 1905. It forestalls the future by prescribing impossible conditions , even lo the legislature of 1896. < lt destroys the pro portion of four to one between , the assembly and senate which has existed since 1821 , It creates fifteen senatorial districts with a population greater than-fifteen other districts by 459.872 , It leaves unrepresented a pop- ulitlon In democratic districts of 131 , S7. H overrepresents republican districts by 130- 318 , H thus makes n discrimination against democratic districts of 61,9X5' . It permits 35,573 citizens In republican districts , but requires at least 11,000 In democratic dis tricts , to elect an assemblyman. It pre scribes that 115,817 citizens fcliall be entitled lo a senator , but It affords _ l'o 'the republican counties of Erlo nnd'Monroe an additional senator for one-half that Dumber. H refuses the democratic county ot New York and of Kings an additional tena'tor for any num ber less than 115,817. ' INSUHHS nEPUBLlCAN ASCENDANCY. " 'It provides that New York shall never , no matter how great Its population , have more than one-third the. senators. It pro vides Ihfll Kings shall never , no mailer howj great Its population , have more than one-'thlf.d the ' senators. H provides that New york 'ml Kings counties shall never , no matter how great tjielr joint popula tion , have mqre than ' oric-lialf of the sena tors. " 'It fastens republican rule on the state regardless of popular will , Inasmuch as a majority of 75,000 In the state against tlio republican , party will ( not- disturb its hold upon the jeglslature. > . Popular representa- uon In thej , senate , ,1s abandongfl. for terri torial representation , an r'lhe co&rttlfra of the state .which are Increasing1 , ' /popBra- - - tjon are 'deprived representation for'thcf benefit , of those counties wliose populations ore steadily decreasing. 'Tho- success of ( his scheme at the polls means the abso lute control of the legislature to the repub licans for1 all time Jo come , j It means the loss of New York forever hereafter to the democratic party. It netuis political an nihilation to .us. ' 'Tak.ciJliB' ' ( ast full f vote of 1802 , when the democrats carried the state by 45,000 majority , and that vote , distributed or equal i ized accp.nllng fo these- amendments would still give tlie. legislature to ilie other side. I appeal to our party frlfn'tts everywhere to arise kp the danger which confronts them In this matter , and. laying' aside prejudice , disappointments and preferences , unite to gether to > preserve the > life of o'ur party , now serloufcly Imperiled. "I condemned In my speech at Saratoga and I condemn here also jthat ; unamerlcan spirit which Is Insldlo'usl f fastening- Itself upon portions of our conunmiltles , which seeks to set up a reifplolfs'1' test as one of the * qualifications for .public ofllco In this country. \ "In the national CQiutUutIon $ which our fathers framed. It wasj-wlsely provided that ' 'no religious test shall * ever be required as a qualification to any oMlca of public trust underthe , United States. ' 'This proposition reflected the wisdom ; of our early states men , Illustrates their liberal spirit and showed their true patriotism , democratic party Is Justly responsible for Ihe hard times through which the country has just passed. The financial panic of last year and the succeeding Jiard times were the result of republican legislation enacted during Mr. Harrison's administration. You know who passed the Sherman silver bill and the McKlnley blllj and one was as detrimental to the finances bf the country as the other. One exhausted-the surplus and the other failed to produce sufficient rev enues to support the government. "The McKlnley bill was a complete failure , la virtually broke down during the last year of the Harrison administration , the receipts being so meager that the. expenditures of the government nearly exceeded Its revenues. Drafts made upon the Treasury department were not promptly mot aiiionf ; other drafts , for the payment of moneys'due for pensions , and a system of transfers of balances from the different subtreas'urles ' became neces sary , which gave an excus for delay In set tlement of government claims , when , In truth and fact , the nation for the time being was virtually bankrupt.7 : With these two ob noxious statutes repealed.ctbe country Is now entering upon Better ? tieies. .Money Is easier , trade Is reviving ; manufacturers are resuming operations , In W enterprises are starting up and everywhere tliere li a feeling of security , of confidence 'wjd ' ot 7osperlty. Our worklngmen arc rapidly Jlndlug employ ment and the great army 'pf ho unemployed will soon disappear. f "What the conntrync ls now is an In dustrial peace. Any Mlpmpi to repeal the existing law and to jub tlutc | the McKlnley law In its place will dsturbfetho ! business of the country. It Is .bellar ] for the country , better for everybody Ih4t1riio such effort should be made , but , tjiatr a democratic house and senate should bo chosen to co operate with the president ] In giving the country Industrial pcace forj the next two years.
