selected and whose selection the con
vention supsequentiv ratifiod, I have
nothing but the kindliest feeling and
the most profonnd personal respect. I
acknowledge bis many excellent quali
ties and am indebted to him for many
courtesies while he waa presiding officer
ol the senate. Of genial disposition, of
conceded businesa ability and of lartre
means, he naturally attracts friends,
and his candidacy for any position he
may covet becomes most formidable and
dangerous.
"Born in the state of Vermont, pro
hibition Vermont, let me observe, tbe
state whose Republicanism is mist ex
treme and Illiberal in its charucler, he
afterwards removed to New Hampshire,
and it ia a peculiar and significant fact,
not without special interest in this
campaign, that all the while Mr. Morton
lived in New Hampshire, and until as
late as the year 18C5, the constitution
of that state was most p.-oscriptive in
its terms and actually prohibited auy
person 'not of the Protectant religion'
irom being governor or any member of
either house of the legislature, and its
bill of rights then provided and stili pro
vides that only 'Protestant teachers ol
piety, religion and morality' may be
maintained at pubi c experts ol the re
spective towns of the state.
"It is not impossible that the early
narrow associations of Vermont and tbe
proscriptive sentiments of New Hamp
shire which surrounded Mr. Morton
during bis residence in those states,
may have influenced his convictions
upjn certain pnblic questions and led
to bis selection in thia peculiar crisis.
PL AST TUE REAL CANDIDATE.
"Everybody knows the real Repub
ican candidate for governor is not Mr.
Morton, but Mr. Piatt himself. It is
tbe voice of Levi, but the hand of
Thomas. The people of tbe Btafe,
especially thoughtful Republicans, have
not forgotten the [act that for every
office ior which Mr. Morton has aspired
to he has been pushed forward by Mr.
Piatt. When tbe Republicans of tbe
etate decided to send V» illiam Evarts to
the United States senate his candidacy
was opposed by Mr. Piatt, who forced Mr.
Morton into the contest against bim;
wben Warner Miller's term as senator
expired and be, by the usages of his
party was entitled to re-election, Mr.
Piatt again made Mr. Morton a candi
date and succeeded in defeating Mr.
Miller by finally throwing the Morton
votes to Mr. Hiscoek. Mr. Morton's
nomination to tho vice-presidency wits
secured for him by Mr. Piatt, who con
trolled the New York delegation. And
so tbis same very respectable and vener
able gentleman, at the age of 71 years,
was selected by Mr. Piatt months before
the Republican convention met, as
his candid.-., o for governor, when
the nomination by right and ac
cording to precedent, belonged to
others whom the party would have de
lighted to honor, and tbe people of the
state are aeked to ratify his peraonal
selection. It is to be said in favor of
Mr. Morton that ho has always been
gratsful to hie benefactor and has never
antagonized his schemes or plans of
party polioy. He always thinks as Mr.
Piatt thinks. When Mr. Plait aspired
to tbe high and responsible position of
secretary of ths treasury in President
Harrison's administration, he had the
warm support of his protege and friend,
Mr. Morton. Do not misunderstand me.
I do not fail to appreciate the business
qualifications, the excellent character
and unquestioned political ability of Mr.
Piatt. I differ from him politically, but
as a citizen and gentleman I have noth
ing to say against him and decline to bs
one of bis traducers. He has a perfect
right to be ambitions and to aspire to
the governorship ol this state, bnt I do
insist be should be a oandidate in per
son, and not by proxy. There is no
demand for a Warwick in this state or
this free country. Hia party should
have nominated him, instead of allow
ing bim to drag hia perennial candidate
from hia coveted retirement to attempt
to assume, if elected, tbe arduoua and
exhaustive duties of chief executive of
thia state, the onorous duties of which
would largely have to be performed by
Mr. Piatt himself.
REAL BJTATI I'SUSS.
"We should not p unit our opponent]
te obscure the raal issue involved in
this election. We decline to belittle
the important questions that divide the
two great parties by entering upon the
discussion of abuses pertaining to tbe
police department of a single city, as
though tbe correction of such abuses
could be made a party question.
"The Democratio party of this state
will not sanction Republican or Dsmo
cratic blackmail, whether discovered in
Democratic or Republican municipali
ties, and it iB an insult to tbe people to
assume otherwise. We refuse to be
placed on the defensive or on false is
sues. The plain truth is, the police de
partment of New York oity is a non
partisan or rather bipartisan deinart
uient. governed by civil service rules,
and tbat the irregularities or abuses re
cently exposed have already implicated
more Republican than Democratic police
officials, and tbat euch exposures have
been followed by prompt dismissals
from the lorce and prompt prosecution
at the instance of zealous Democratic
city and county officers.
"It ia idle to think a state election
can be made to turn upon such purely
local mattere. It bas not escaped pub
lic attention that the partisan Lexow
committee has not sought to ditcover
police abuses in any Republican cities
of the state, and the people will not
tolerate auy attempt to make capital
out of only a partial investigation.
Neither do we propote to permit any
other issues, entirely disposed 01, to
• ngrosß our attention in this campaign.
Tbe question whether the Damocrats
properly or improperly, regularly or
irregularly secured control of the state
faenate in 1801 is powder already.burnod.
I do not intend to thresh old straw over
again, but I desire simply to suggest
tbat tbe Democrats had fairly carried
tbe state ticket in IS9I by 47,000 major
ity, and no legal quibble, no technicali
ties and no harsh constructions of ju
dicial enemies shonld have been permit
ted to deprive them oi the coutrol of the
legislature, to which, under the circum
atancei, tbe dominant party was fairly
•ntitled; and whether any law waa
•trained or not, justice did in fact prevail,
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION,
"The Republicans last fall accidental
ly obtained control of the constitutional
convention and have proceeded to place
au apportionment ol senate and assem
bly districts in tbeir constitutional
amendments to be submitted to the peo
ple at this election. Tbe control of this
convention was itself obtained by decep
tion. The Republican delegatea in sev
eral cities solicited support, not as re
publicans but as reformers, and prom-,
ised nonpartisan action. Tne election
last fall in this state waa itself pro
claimed as a reform rather than a Re
publican trinmpb, hot no sooner did
the convention meet than all disguise]
were thrown off and Republican parti
sanship became rampant. Tbe unfair
ness, tbe partisanship, tba absolute in
justice of tbat proposed apportioumeut
admits ol no argument. Ita purpose
was openly avowed on the floor of the
convention to socure for all the future
the control of the legislature of the state
to the Republicans, and no one denies
that such will be its effect. Every Dem
ocratic member of the constitutional
convention voted against the scheme
and thereafter issued an address to the
people, giving in detail thoir reasons
therefor, and such address is worthy of
the careful consideration of the fair
minded men of ail parties. Its facts, its
figures, its conclusions have not been
and cannot be successfully refuted. It
is absolutely unanswerable."
RBI'UM.ICAN REAPrORTIONMKNT.
Hill referred to the plan of the Repub
licans for the reapportionment of the
state, and continued:
"It fastens Republican rule on the
state regardless of popular will, inas
much as a majority oi 75,000 in the etato
against the Republican party will not
disturb its 'hold upon the legislature.
Popular representation in the senate is
abandoned for territorial representsticn
and the counties of the etate, which are
increasing in population, are deprived
of representation for the benefit of those
counties whose populations are steadily
decreasing.
"Ine success of this scheme at the
polls means the absolute control of the
legislature to the Republicans for ail
time to come; it means tbe loss of New
York: forever hereafter to the Democrat
ic party ; it means political annihilation
to us.
"Take tbe last full vote of 1892, when
tbe Democrats carried tbe etate by 45,
---000 majority, and tbat vote distributed
or equalized according to these amend
ments, would still give the legislature
to the other side. 1 appeal to our party
friends every where to arise to tbe dan
ger which confronts them in this matter
and laying aside prejudice, disappoint
ments and preferences, unite together
to preserve the life of our party now
seriously imperiled.
A. P. A.-ISM DENOUNCED,
"I condemned iv my speech at Sara
toga, and I condemn here also, that un-
American spirit which is insidiously
fastening itself upon portions of our
communities, which sseks to set up a
religious test as one of the qualifications
for publlo office in tbis country. Any
organization, secret or otherwise, which
has tbia object in view, deserves the
execration oi every American citizen.
It is nselees to deny tbat the sympathy
for this intolerent spirit has found
much support in Rapublican circles,
encouragement in the Republican press,
and much aid at the polls in strong Re
publican localities. The recent state
Republican convention, although ur
gently requested to do so, deliberately
refused to incorporate any provision in
its platform condemning such an un-
American policy of intolerence. (such
a provision in its platform would have
been very appropriate at this time —in
fact, it was absolutely demanded by
every consideration of patriotism.
"In the national constitution which
our forefathers trained, it was wisely
provided that 'no religious test shall
ever be required as a qualification to
any office or public trust under the
United States.' This proposition re
flected tbe wisdom of our early states
men, illustrated their liberal spirit and
ehowed their true patriotism. This
sacred constitutional provision prevents
the enactment of any federal statutes
creating a religious test for public posi
tion, but, of course, ft doss not and
cannot prevent proscription by individ
ual associations or political parties; that
must be regulated by an intelligent
public sentiment, wbich I invoke at this
time iv opposition to tbe rising spirit of
intolerence which we observe cropping
out on overy hand.
TBE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.
'T deny the oft-repeated statement
tbat the Democratic party is responsible
for the hard times through which the
country has juat passed. The financial
panic of laEt year and the succeeding
hard times were the result of Republi
can legislation enacted during Harri
son's administration. You know wbo
passed the Sherman silver bill and tbe
McKinley bill, and one was as detri
mental to tbe finances of the country as
the other. One exhausted the surplus
and the other failed to produce sufficient
revenues to support the government.
The McKinley bill was a complete fail
ure. It virtually broke down during the
Übl year of the Harrison administration,
the receipts being co meager tbat the
expenditures of the government nearly
exceeded its revenues. Drafts made
npon the treasury department were not
promptly met, among others drafts for
tbe payments of moneys due ior pen
sions, and a system of transfers of bal
ances from tha different sub-treasuries
became necessary, which gave
an excuse for delay in settle
ment of government claims, when in
truth and fact the nation for the time
being was virtually bankrupt. With
these two obnoxious statutes repealed
tho country is now entering upon better
times. Money ia easier, trade is reviv
ing, manufacturers are resuming opera
tions, new enterprises are starting up
and everywhere there is a fseliug of
security, of confidence and prosperity.
Our workingmen ere rapidly finding em
ployment and the great army of tbe un
employed will soon disappear.
WHAT THE COUNTRY NIIDi,
"What the country needs now is an
industrial peace. Any attempt to re
peal the existing law and to substitute
the McKinl9y law in its place will dis
turb the business interests of the
country. It is botter lor tbe country,
better for everybody tbat no such effort
be made, but tbat a Democratio house
and senate should be chosen to co-op
erate with the president in giving the
country industrial peace tho next two
years. Those who advocate n different
course, do so for politics' sake alone.
A fair trial of tbe existing law before a
general revision is again attempted—
that is the wise and safe policy, which
will continue tbe restoration of prosper
ity.
"The Democratic party in 1893 took
charge of tbe government under unfav
orable aud adverse circumstances with
a slender majority in the senate aad an
unwieldy majority in the bouse; it is
not to be wondered that the meaenre
now submitted to the judgment of tbe
country does not in all reapects meet the
public expectations. It ia, however, a
vast improvement over the McKinley
law and will clearly demonstrate its su
periority as time rolle on and tbe busi
ness intereata of tbe country shall adjuat
iteelf to the uew conditions. It recog
nizes in part, at least, the Dsmocratic
doctrine ol free raw materials, nnd in re
sponse to an overwhelming public sent
iment has appropriately provided for
free wool, free lumber and iree salt. It
bas largely increased tbe iree list in
otber respects. It bas reduced the duty
nn r.n%\ and iron nearly 50 per cent. The
general average reducti >n from the Mn-
Kinl«y rates is neariv y'i'-j percent. It
uiuy be safely asserted tiiav the new law
will not cripple or embarrass a single
industry in tbe land or throw out of em
ployment a single workman, or unduly

stimulate over production on the one
band or exorbitant importations on tbe
other. The elimination of sugar boun
ties saves to the Amoriean people nearly
$15,000,000. If it be said that the new
law in a single respect ie unduly favor
able to one particular trust, my arißwer
is that the old lavored a dozen trusts.
Evory man, despite the Republican
statement to the contrary, should un
derstand that another general or exten
sive tariff revision is not contemplated
by the Democrats, now or iv the future.
Tbis determination does not preclude
tbe desirability of redeeming, by the
passage of special bills, whatever pledges
we have made in our platform or other
wise for raw materials or the readjust
ment of any objectionable sugar sched
ule.
"No"matter which political party won
in 1892, the tariff revision would have
been necessary, inevitably co, because
the McKinley law had broken down,
had collapsed, and bad proven utterly
inadequate to meet the neces: ittes of the
government. Tbe duties had beon
placod so high as to be largely prohibi
tory in effect.
HONEST GOVERNMENT.
"I believe in honest government in
nation, state, city and town, and I have
no sympathy with fraud or corruption
anywhere. I pledge my best efforts to
uproot rascality wherever it may exist
in our state, and to punish tho offsnders
wherever found. If the nomination
which I have reluctantly accepted under
circumstanced with which you are fa
miliar, shall be ratified by tbe people, I
shall aasume that office under no obliga
tion to any ring, machine or political
clique, and free from any entangling
alliances whatever, and with the sole
desire to discharge my duty to the whole
people, according to the best of my
ability.
PARTY DIFFERRNCE3 FOROOTTEN.
"To party friends I have only to say
that party differences shall be forgotten
and tbat nil interests, all sections and
factions shall be treated fairly aud alike.
I have consented to make the present
con teat not to gratify any personal am
bition, but to assist in aiding the Demo
cratic cause which is near to my heart,
and with which I have baen identified
all my political life. I regret
that the very estimable gentle
men in New York and Brooklyn
have announced their unwillingness
to give me support nt the sleetion and
express n desire to advocate a third
ticket. I deplore such action, not on
account of any injustice or result to my
self personally, but for the Democratio
cause which such unwise action imper
ils. Tbey know as wsll as Ido that this
nomination was not of my own solicita
tion, and for a week I sought in every
honorable way to be relieved from the
burden and responsibility which its ac
ceptance Imposed. 'With malice to
wards none and with charity to all,'
witb no word of censure or complaint, I
leave them to discharge thoir duty to
their country and their party according
to tbeir consciences. Ido only suggest
and hope that if they cannot nonsist
entlysee tbeir way clear to give me their
support, they will loyally support my
honorable associates upon tbis ticket—
Daniel S. Lockwood and Cbarlei 11.
Brown [applause]—whom I trust will
consent to the use of their names upon
the third ticket, il a third ticket
there must be, and I am willing to
make any sacrifice of pride, of feeling or
advantage, which will aid the Demo
cratic cause or any oi its candidates in
any respect. A united Democratic par
ty in this state will giva us the victory.
With honest efforts to poll our full
vote, with a firm reliance npon the
justice of our cause, let us enter the
contest with a dstermination that we
can and will place the Democratio party
in tbe victorious column where it stood
for 11 years straight during my former
administration, and where it belongs.

campaign in Brooklyn, in September,

this was the first ascent made by him.
The witness said everything went all

In bit opinion the deoeased was

is stated tbat Soper only paid Marble
$10 for tbe asoenßion, while he himself
received $200. Today Soper agreed to
go up himself, but tbe chief of police in
terfered, owing to the high wind. He

THE OPERATIONS OF THE ARMY.
General Schofield'. Annual
Report.
• — ... . —
Moro Fons Threatening From Within
Thin Without.
Great Neoti of Strong thanlnrf tho Mili
tary Arm of tiie UoTiromeut
to tSupprosa Internal
Diiorderi.
By ths Assoelsted Press.
Washington, Oct. 11.—Major General
Schofield has made a report to the sec
retory of war on operations of the army
during the past year. Gen. Schofield,
who has been at tha head of the army
since the death of General Sheridan, an
nounced his retirement next year. His
report is principally devoted to tbe dis
cussion of the necessity for strengthen
ing the military arm of tbe government
to cope with internal disorders, as well
as possible danger from without, partic
ular reference being made to the Debs
strike.
During a large part of the year, the
report oays, tho army has been employ
ed in tbe suppression of domestic vio
lence which took the form in many cases
of forciable resistance to the execution
of the laws of the United States, seizure
or destruction of property under the
care of United States officers, and open
defiance to national authority. These
disorders, at firat looal in character,
spread at length to about one-half in
number and two-thirds in area of till tbe
states and territories excluding Aluuka.
So widespread nnd formidable an insur
rection called for the vigorous action
dictated by tbe president.
At, the city of Chicago resistance to
law assumed such formidable propor
tions that it was necessary to concen
trate at tbat place nearly all the army
forcos that could be made available
from all parts of the country, while on
the Pacific coast, the navy department
placed at tbe disposal of the department
oommander tbe naval and marine forces
at the Mare Island navy yard, end these
. forcoß rendered valuable servioes. Tbe
responsible duties thus devolved upon
the army department commanders, were
porformed by them and the troops
under tbeir command in tbe most satis
factory manner. The insurrection was
promptly surprested without any un
necessary sacrifice of life in any case.
Tbe prompt and vigorous action of
the troops in all cases and the great for
bearance manifested by them when sub
jected to all sorts of insults and indigni
ties designed to provoke retaliation,
were worthy of ths very highest com
mendation. It illustrated in a most
striking manner tbe great value to a
government oi a well disciplined force,
at all times subject to orders of that
government for tbe enforcement of the
faithful execution of its laws.
It would seem unnecessary to point
out the fact that any force like the mili
tia of a etate or ths police of a oity'act
ing primarily under another authority,
though highly efficient in their appro
priate service, cannot be made a relia
ble instrument for tbe prompt and ef
fective execution ot the laws of the United
States. Manifestly every government
should have an adsqoate force of ita own
for tbe execution of its own laws, no
less than the judicial ana executive of
ficers necessary for tbe same purpoae.
The country is now for the first time
Bquarely confronted with the necessity
of making adequate provision, not only
for defense against any possible foreign j
aggresaion, but alao for defense againat
domeatic violence in tbe form of forcible
resistance to the laws of the United
States. A just estimate of those meana
of defense requires consideration of the
vast extent ot tbo United States and tbe
great amount of property widely dis
persed throughout this territory, which
belongs to the United States, or is in
such a condition as to be under tbe pro
tection of the national government.
When these facts are duly consid
ered it becomes manifest that the
present strength of tbe army is
not adequate to the performance
of the service which may at any time
be required. It is certainly manifest
that the present condition of tbe coun
try, with a population of nearly 70,000,
--000, under the danger of discord now
known to exist, cannot be met by the
same force tbat was deemed adequate 25
years ago, when tbe population of the
country was lets than half ita present
number, and domestic violence was not
apprehended. One man to 14 square
milea of territory, or one man to 2809 of
population, is surely a very small guard
to protect property and prevent viola
tion of law, leaving out of consideration
the force necessary to guard tbe extend
ed sea const against sudden attack by a
foreign enemy.
It ie also worthy ol remark that more
than once in the last summer an infuri
ated mob in a single city was twice as
formidable in numbor and capable of
doing vastly greater injury to life and
property at tba most formidable com
bination of Indian warriors that ever
confronted tbe army in this country. In
a few words, tbe army has been recently
rtquired to deal witb an army far more
numerous and dangerous to the country
than any savage enemy wbich it hat
heretolore been sailed upon to meet.
Tbe effective strength of the army
should be considerably increased. This
can be done at a very email compara
tive incroase in cost. The present reg
imental organization need not be largely
increased. Two additional regiments of
artillery for the necessary seaooatt de
fense; two additional regiments of cav
alry to patrol the long lines of railroad
under government protection, and the
25 regiments of infantry converted into
three battalion organizations, wonld, it
is believed, be a just and conservative
estimate oi what iB now actually need
ed. For this the existing number of
commissioned officers is nearly suffi
cient. But a considerable permanent
increase in the enlisted strength of the
army should be made, and a still fur
ther increase authorized to be made by
the president, when, in bia judgment,
an emergency requiring it may reasona
bly bs foreseen. It it not a good mili
tary system in which tbe executive has
no authority whatever to increase tbe
effective strength of the army in time of
need, but must await the slow proceas of
legislation in the matter.
Wise forethought in apparent antici
pation oi such condition! as those
which have confronted the government
during the last year, dictated several
years ago, the establishment under au
thority of congress of large military
posta near tbe great military centers of
the country. Several of these large
poßts are now in a condition to be occu
pied by the tronDr, while others are in
process of construction, and a few oth
ers are still demanded, for wbicb it is
presumed congress will in due time
make tbe necessary appropriation.
HE EXPECTS TO DIE.
Tha Ozar Reluctantly Giving Vp Bis
Hold an Lira.
Berlin, Oot. 11. —A member of the
staff of the Russian embassy of this city
informed the Associated Press corre
spondent thia evening tbat the czar fully
expects to die, but is eager for bis re
moval to Corfu, the latter step becoming
imperative if the only chance to save his
life is taken.
Prof. Leyden persists in his rather fa
vorable diagnosis of tbe czar's case, and
he fully believes that if it is left entirely
in bis hands be will be able to effect a
cure. Tbe czar is incessantly worried,
first, about tbe apparently approaching
death of his eon George, and, secondly,
about tbe conduct of the czarewitch,
wbo stubbornly refuses to marry
Princess Alix. The Russians assign
the refiißol to the great love of the
czarewitch for his mistress, a most beau
tiful Jewess, who seemed to have such a
hold upon him, that for the Bake of
keeping her h» bas offered to renounce '
his right to tho succession to tbe throne, j
At the same timo the czar fears for tbe
welfare of Russia, end perhaps for the
peace of Europe, if a regency is neces
sary. Those worries, Prof. Leyden as
serts, constitute the gravest feature of
the czar's case.
Athens, Oct. 11.—Count Handondorff,
tha czar's grand marshal, bos gone to i
Corfu in order to prepare for the arrival
there of the czar.
Berlin, Oct. 11. —The correspondent
of the Associated PreßS has been in
formed semi-offi.-.ially that en extensive
plat against the life of the czar linn
bsen discovered. In the conspiracy ere

TRAIN ROBBERS AGAIN.
A SUCCESSFUL HOLD UP NEAR
SACRAMENTO.
Ths Eastbonnd Overland Rnobed by Two
Men—They Scoured Throa Baga
of Gold—A Disaster Nar
rowly Averted.
Sacramento, Out. 11.—The eastbonnd
train, due here at 9:30 p. m., wat held
up by two men about six miles below
Saoramento tonight. The track walker
was first robbed and then forced to flag
the train. Tbe robbers then covered
the engineer and fireman with guns
and compelled them to accompany them
to the express oar. Messenger Pago shot
twico at the bandita and came near
losing his life from a shot fired in re
turn. Tbe engineer and fireman called
to Page to open tbe door, aa the
robbers were going to shoot them
if be did not, and alto were
preparing to blow the car with dyna
mite. He complied witb tbeir request
in order to tave tbeir livea, and the rob
bers looted the car of four bags of gold,
the amount of wbich is not known.
They then cut the engine loose, boarded
it and ran it toward tbe city several
miles. The engine was then reversed
and tent on a wild run toward the train,

a little now and then, with a gentle,
cleansing laxative, thereby removing of
fending mutter from the stomach and
bowels, toning up aud invigorating the
liver and quickening it 3 tardy acliou,
and you thereby remove the cause of a
multitude of distressing diseases, such as
headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions,
boils, constipation, piles, fistulas and
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less fre
quent occasion to call for their doctor's
services to subdue attacks of daugerous
diseases.
That, of all known agents to accom
plish this purpose, Dr. Pierces Pleasant
Pellets are unequaled, is proven by the
fact that once used, they are always iv
favor. Their secondary effect is to keep
the bowels open and reguiar, not to fur
ther constipate, as is the case with other
pills. Hence, their great popularity,
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and indigestion.
