Show II ILL'S SIEKCI1. Governor Hill of New York took advantage ad-vantage of his invitation to make a speech at the unveiling of tho Hendricks Hen-dricks monument. His speech was mainly au arraignuuml of the republican repub-lican party and the present administration. administra-tion. This was .to be expected from a man who is seeking the democratic presidential nomination, but it strikes a great many people as rather questionable question-able propriety to make a political speech on such an occasion.- Several leading independent democratic papers are criticising Governor Hill on this account. ac-count. The Boston Herald, for instance, says: 'Governor Hill's remarks at Indianapolis In-dianapolis deservo to be circulated as a campaign document. They are rather better suited for such a purpose thau for an address at the dedication of tho statue of a deceased statesman." Governor Hill's chief rival, Grover Cleveland, who was also invited in-vited to attend, was not present, owing to his having au important engagement. engage-ment. Tho Jvcw York Suu, which is keeping close watch of Cleveland, intimates in-timates that he had no engagement, and could have gone to Indianapolis if he had any regard for the. memory of Hendricks. 4? |
