MEETING IN THE BATES HOUSE
Speeches by E. w. stoughton Of New
York, Judge w. G. Dunton, and
Col, A. T. Walker.
A VAST ASSEMBLAGE.
Ringing Music and an Enthusiastic
Meeting.

The last rally of the republican CAM
paign was held last evening. The demo-
Gratis had previously engaged the town hall
and the republicans were compelled-luck-
| lily compelled as 1t held more people than
the town hall-to occupy the second story
Of the Bates house. A speakers stand
was built in the southwest corner of the
building and the rest of the hall was pro-
vided with seats for a vast crowd and bril-
liantly lighted. AS soon as it was dusk
fireworks were sent up front of the build
ing and the Fort Edward band discoursed
delicious music. As the hour for the meet
ing approached, it was found that seats
enough had not been provided. People
began to flow in rapidly, the seats were all
soon filled, and every available bit of stand
ing room was utilized. AT the least calcu-
people present.
The Fort Edward cornet band opened
with Golden Crown Overture" by A.
Hermann, magnificent thing for the place
and occasion, splendidly played. The or
ganzation consists of fourteen members,
under the leadership of Matt. Elder. They
are altogether the finest band, with the ex-
certion of the Sherman, which has visited
Rutland during the camgaign.
During the performance Of the piece
Hon. L. w. Stoughton, Of New York, the
principal orator of the evening, entered,
escorted by Gen. w. Y. w. Ripley, presi-
dent of the club.
After another selection by the band the
'No Name" glec club gave "Marchng to
vote for Hayes and Wheeler" air, "Battle
Cry of Freedom" The solos were rem
derel by Horace Baxter and the chorus by
he club, composed as follows: Mrs. G..
A. Mietzke, Miss Ella s. Olmstead, So
prano Misses Clara Ruggles and Fannie
Eastman, alto; Horace Baxter and Henry
NJ. Bailey, tenor; F. NJ. Davis and John G.
P.a,e, bass. The song was admirably
rendered and received with applause.
At its conclusion, W. Y. w. Ripley,
president Of the HAYES and Wheeler club,
spoke substantially as follows
LadeS and gentlemen Il should ask
your pardon on behalf of the club for in
wiling you into these unfurnished quarters.
o wing to a device of the enemy we were
unable to secure the hall at the other end of
The stree, and on account of the threaten
ing weather we thought this place prefer
ab c 10 the park. There are several things
that might be improved. Our administer
carpets, tor instance, have not yet arrived;
and that reminds me, If you want TO ap-
plaud anything do il with your hands. As
surrey rs you stamp with your feet you
will sneezs after. The dustness of this
floor is SON ching wonderful. Our oppo-
nsnts at the other end have the furnished
nall, but l claim that this is the better gar
nshed. (Applause) We have here 1900
honcst republican hearts and active, in,ell-
gent minds. l will tell you, what, per-
maps, is au open secret, that the CANVASS of
the town is completed and we have a clear
republican majority of 300 If every re-
publican votes. l would urge upon
you the necessity of voting
and seeing that your neighbors vote also
the nect ssity OF staying till the result of the
first ballot is announced. ! hope and be-
leve that there will be no necessity of
second ballot, but the republicans have
been beaten once by voting and then going
home. l will now introduce-present
| rather-one whom you will all be glad to
| hear, Judge Walter G. Dunton.
Judge Dunton was received with ap-
plGuse, and in brief, vigorous and pithy
address, reviewed the history of the coun-
try for twenty years, the part taken by the
democratic patty and the democratic can
didates, and closed with an appeal to all
republicans to do their duty at the polls
to-day.
The presiden! then read two kilograms,
one from j. d. Bridgman, president of the
Bellows Falls Hayes and Wheeler club and
the other from Hon. Frederick Billings, as
| follows:
| We send assurances of success. Col
| Veazey is making us splendid speech. A
grand torchlight procession is in progress.
| We've to say to our friends in Rutland,
LET go democrat escape"
| j. ID. BRIDGMAN,
Pres't. Hayes and Wheeler Club.
