Democratic Meeting in Mailing gfOrd.


 The Democratic party enjoyed another of their delectable love feasts in Wallingford on Saturday evening. The exercises in the Town Hall were preceded by display of fire works, during which one of the Democratic aspirants for the postofice proposed three cheers for Hancock and English. The at- tempt was unfortunate, and the cheers were very faint. The president, MT. Yale, opened the meeting. Messrs. Fox and Fowler of New Haven, and Miles of Meriden, were the other speakers MT. Fowler had recourse to the usual arguments of the Democratic ora tors He challenged any Republican to show single act of Garfelds which proved his statesmanship, but neglected to show MT. Hancock's vaunted ability in that direction by even so much as 8 reference to ''Order No. 4O" The.speeches of MT. Fowler's two col leagues were of much the same order and of course equally acceptable to the audience.
