The f, largest audience which has yet t( greeted the State campaigning \, party assembled here today und c ^he conduct of the crowd was^ absolutely orderly. It was a re n piesentative gathering in every s repect composed of citizens from p ail sections of the county and a was literally a field day for Mr. a Hey ward. He received a perfect c ovation in applause and flowers. Most of the gubernatorial candi- v dates were well received, Ansel p and Talbert drew for second s place. Tillman renewed his state- d meat regarding his famous ruling e in the Senate which was received in absolute (lend silence, mi*, uunter vigorously attacked Mr. Stevenson relative to his association in t capacity of counsel with some giguntic corporation.

Tho ludience was most responsive, ask ng many questions, interrupting learly every speaker, distracting ittontion occasionally but always nterested. The applause was rory woll distriliuted, being apireciatively given to all at the >roper places.

Talbert and Tillman had many loft :o hear them. TILLMAN ATTACKS TALBEKT. The feature of the meeting was he merciless manner in which rill man went for Talbert and his 22 years of office holding. Col. Tillman was most sarcastically >ffectivj and his arraignment of Jongres' man Talbert's record as ? public servant was sever*.He leld faels and figures in his hand, juoted these in detail and accomplished a telling piece of work. Hie said Talbert was dead now. He igain assailed him for not being >n duty at Washington where fohnston alone remained at his post. The only time Talbert was >ver at Washington, he said, aciordiug to the record is on pay lay. Possibly, he added, Col. Talbert thinks he is entitled to his vacation because he is of no ise whatever at Wash'ngton. Taltert, he added, mentioned having avored the . appropriation for iiI-_ * yumicatAiu exposition oui unior unately every speech Talbert nukes generally kills a bill. lteerring to Col.

Hahitnore Sun. Now York Deinocrats were eug eriy dicussing to-'lay the politi> cal significance of the appearance of Mr. Cleveland and ex-Senator Hill at t ie Tilden Democratic Club and the appamit cordiality and good feeling existing between the two foremost Democrats in the East. , li is regarded as significant that C> Mr. Cleveland should have chosen to break his silence at this time. Mr. Cleveland's attitude toward Mr. Hill was in marked contrast to tlie reception which iio accorded John C. Sheehan, foremost in the affairs of tho (ireater New Democracy, for whom, hy the way, he has not entertained a friendly spirit tor a score of years, the estrangement dating " 1 O n hack to the time when Mr. Cleveland .was mayor of Buffalo. Sonio prominent Democrats declared that if Cleveland and Hill could be run on the Demociuiic ticket tne party would score an overwhelming victory in the next presidental campaign. There is, however, little hope of such an alliance ever being made. Even if Hill would consent t'> take second place on tho ticket, the fact that both candidates aro Eastern luen would proven] their nomination. Chairman F.ank Campbell, of tho Democratic State committee, glowed with enthusiasm. "Why," said he. "1 have never known the Democratic parly to be so harmonious in the la^t ten years. It'o just so because we have made up our minds to treat everybody right. That's tho spirit. We're uot tighting anybody?except the Republicans. We have stopped fighting among ourselves, and now we're going to present a solid front and move in one compact mass." National Committeeman Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, the head of tho Bryan element iu this State, was asked what he thought of the Tilden Club nieetiug. "It was an interesting meeting.*' ho said, " and 1 think it will do good for the party. Mr. Cleveland was .yell received, and that wiil probably gratify lus friends. His address was char* acteristic. It will please his friends, and cannot offend Dcm icrats of any other faction. As u friend of Air.Bryan, nothing was said or done last night to which 1 could take exception. It begins to look if Democrats were determined to bury past differences and get together. Wo rcali/.o it's the only way wo can win election. National Committeeman Taggert, of Indiana, also disci sscd tlio harmony meeting "Mr. Cleveland made an excellent speech," ho said, "and we were all glad to hoar him becauoe ho is an ex president and a distinguishi ed Democrat, whom we respect. But he is not being considered for the ^residential nomination, nor will ho become the national Democratic leader. hi his speoe't he disavowed all thought of Mich things. Tlio niiin 1 hear much talked of for the presidential nomination is Mr. Hill Ho is popular in my section of the country, and I tind that he is popular here in his own State. *' Governor f*. R. Odell, who was jut the Fifth Avcnuo Hotel, replied with spirit to the attack* I made upon his administration by Mr. Hill at the Tilden Club. k * 11 i 11,' * said the Governor, i4i? the manager of the Democratic campaign in this State, and such attacks as ho made upon my administration are to he expected. ! N ) doubt tlie Democratic stump i speakers will go to the extremes in thoir efforts to cvoite tho public against the republican party. Rut no amount of jnggling figures or misrepresenting will help I tlieiu. 'J'lie fart remains there ; is no State tax. That will count with the peeple. It is one of the strongest points in the Republican campaign, and he cannot be sue eessfnlllv assailed." <%Mr Ilill declared that if you are renominated you will be defeaUd,,, was suggested. "1 have perfect confidence in the judgment of the people of this State,*' replied the governor. Il^e Republican ticket will be elected, no matter who is tiominated. Not only are all tha issues j on our side, but our party organization is in excellent condition, while the Democrats are hopelessly split up, despite all this harmony talk. In fact, so much hari uiony talk sounds suspicious.*' Slain by His Brother-In-Law. Special to The State. Scranton, June 20.?S. W. .Iamc?. a prominent farmer of the High Hill section, three miles least of Scranton was killed this | morning by H. H. Myers, his bro^her-inTaw and a wcllknown 1 \ oung pianier. ino homicide was | the culmination of a family fond which has existed for several years]] Thero was no eyo witness to the killing. My information isthat Myers and James had a dispute yesterday about a dividing fence; Myers forbade James to interfere with the fence. This morning | they met and renewed tho quarrel. James advanced on Myers with a fence rail. Myers shot James and broke his arm, causing him to I drop the rail. .lames continued to advance, and when in reach Myers j struck him a stunning blow on the head with his gun, breaking the : breech. James fell, and Myers beat his head violently with the I gun barrel. James1 head and | D face was horribly enutiluted. He lived only a tew hours.
