Senator White spoke for California, giving the tribute of the Pacific coast to the Nebraska candidate. When Colorado was reach*d, thai state yielded to Senator Hill of N'cw York. The audience had anxioimly awaited the appearance of the distinguished New Yorker, and as he took the platform he was accorded a splendid reception. the entire audience rising and heering wildly with the single exception »f the little group of Tammany leaders, who sal silent throughout the cheers for fheir New York associate. Mr. Hill was .in fine voice, aud his tribute to the Nebraska a touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of the audience. He pictured Bryan us the champion of the plain people and of the workingman, strong with the masses, with the farmer and with fljfi artisan. When he declared witfc d'rqmatic emphasis that the candidate would have the support of his party—a uuited party—there was tremendous appjaqse at the suggestion of Democratic unity. Aside from the brilliant eulogy of Bryan, the speech of the New York leader was chiefly significant qpd attractive in its strong plea for Unity.
