The American band is to accompany the Union. The meeting adjourned to Friday evening next The reading room of the Union will be open day and evening during the remainder of this week.
 Banners Presented i'm Fair Haven-Mean n
 Business by ROnShs.
 Last evening fine display and demonstra- ton was made in the 11th ward at the resi- dence of MT. c. F. Crockett, James street. Go. B, Bigelow Guards, attended by invitation duu were pEG50uGCu WILL u uu0 UduuOT, u0- signed and painted by Jule Rida. Upon the banner was represented an American eagle and the names of Garfield and Arthur, also a small one was presented with the inscription ''Vote early and solid for Garfield and Arthur and the two 'Bs.'" MT. Crockett made very pleasant little presentation speech and Major Coombs Capt. of the company re-
 
 a few well chosen remarks. The occasion was a very pleasant one. When the compa- ny was marching back with the banner par ties of Hancock roughs followed and stoned the procession for the distance of four blocks, and-ieered and booted the Bigelow boys. Quite a number were hit and hurt. One torch was smashed by large rock. John Sloan was one of those who were struck. Such action as this should fill respectable and honorable Hancock men with disgust and the attention of the Jeffersonian Club will probably be engrossed over the transac- tion.
 Mechanics Club.

Final arrangements for the grand rally at Music Hall on Thursday even ing will be made, and other matters will be discussed All mechanics in sympathy with the movement who have not yet signed the roll are invited to attend.
 A Good Chance for an Apology.
 The Republicans of Naugatuck were ad- dressed by Samuel Fessenden, of Stamford, at Nichols Hall on Monday evening. Pre- vious to the lecture the Boys in Blue pa raded through the principal streets of the village, escorting the speaker, who was in company with MT. G. M. Allerton in that gentleman's private carriage. Shortly after the procession started, rabble, composed mainly of half grown gamins, rushed to the front with large transparency bearing the idiotic "329," and with continued yells of the same they ranged the streets much to the impeachment of the legitimate paraders. Knots of men and boys, the former Demo- cratic voters, stood on the street corners and along the line, ,and as the procession passed by they showered volleys of stones into the ranks. Rotten eggs and potatoes were also thrown at the speaker, and large fragment of rock, striking the carriage, damaged the vehicle. MT, Allerton, the gentleman who accompanied MT. Fessenden, is one of Naug- atuck's heaviest manufacturers, and one who has done more for that very class who as- saulted the two than any other man in the place.
 At the close of the parade, as the speaker and escort alighted in front of Nichols block and essayed to proceed to the hall, the stair way was found to be in the possession of the mob, and it was only by dint of strenuous ex- ertion that passage way was opened. Ob- scene and insulting epithets were showered upon every respectable person who ventured to run the gauntlet, and it is greatly to the credit of the latter that they refrained from netting out the chastisement which was so perfectly merited. This was but a repetition of the shameful scenes enacted the other evening at Thomaston. Both assaults were the results of premeditated plans, concocted not by boys or irresponsible parties, but by full-hedged voters of the Democratic party. Now here is good chance for Democratic apology. Let the better Democrats of Nau- gatuck, as body, denounce this mean piece of work, and take steps to prevent such an occurrence in the future, or else share in the odium of the transaction.
