 The question now before the people of the l United States is not religious one. The question to be settled in this election is one that comes home to the doorsil and the fire side of every American citizen. We have en- loved in this country for the past twenty three years the advantage of protective tariff. There is not man within the sound of my voice, there is not man in Conneet- cut, there is not a man in New England, there is not a man in the United States, who IS not directly or indirectly interested in the protective tariff (Cheers.) see before me a large assemblage including, doubtless, many who earn their bread in the sweat of their faces, and to whom the daily wages of labor is a matter of great consequence. l beg to remind them that the only agency that secures them higher wages tor their la Dor than man in the British Isles receives for the same labor is the protective tariff. TCheers. When look abroad in this State, and when I examine your statistics, find that Connecticut has doubled it's wealth in the last twenty years, and I submit that that rapid ratio of increase in thrift, independ- ence and progress is direct result of the
 
 So that every man, whether he be capi- talist or laborer whether he be manufacturer or operative, finds that the question of pro tecting American industry enters into the question of protecting American industry enters into the warp and wool of his daily life The Republican party is nothing if it is not protective. It is a cardinal doctrine in the creed of the Republican party that pro tective tariff shall be maintained. Cheers. And it has been the invariable practice of the Democratic party in Congress for more than fifty years past to oppose the policy of pro- tection Times have been dull for some months past. Why? Clearly because of the uncertainty created in the business world by the agitation in Congress last winter of the tariff question, and the fact that the Demo cratic party came within two votes of destroy ing the protective tariff. Is there any man who doubts that with the free trade theories of the Democrats, if they were elevated to power, the protective tariff would be destroyed? If any man doubts that, he doubts his senses; he denies the rec ord; he will not listen to plain facts. The omens in the present contest are to be spoken of by you, not by me; but there are one or two things connected with it which beg to refer to. beg especially to refer to the fact that in larger degree than in any other campaign of which I have personal knowl- { edge the Republican party has the inestima- l ble advantage of the sympathy and support O. country, [cheers and the young men carry with them strength, confidence. the power to bear burdens and the power to give encour \ agement to others.
 The Republican party began it's existence \ thirty years ago with the support of young ! men. Twenty-eight years ago, before many ! who now hear me knew anything about po- litical contests, the party entered the field for \ the first time in national struggle. It se- l lected young man for it's leader. It selected | a man in his forty-third year, the same age | at which Washington was intrusted with the | command of the Continental army-a young man of great zeal, of great intelligence, and | of character so heroic that it partook large | Iy of romance. Under his leadership the ! Republican party in it's very first national | contest alarmed if it did not defeat our op- ponents Since then twenty eight years have been added to his age, bringing it up to the Psalmist's limit of threescore years and ten 1 but he is still fresh and vigorous in body and l in mind, still warm in his support of the Re l publican party, and it is my especial pleas | ure to-day that can, as I now do, introduce l to you General John c. Fremont. (Pro- | longed cheering)
 | General Fremont was received with burst | of enthusiasm and spoke briefly, aeknowledg- 1 ing the honor done him. He is now a white l bearded, white-headed, but well preserved | old man with an impressive face and fine. ! bearing. This concluded the speech making In the meantime MT. Blaine had been es- corted to the Trowbridge residence by l Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., and ex-Governor | Bigelow. Upon the platform where the l speaking took place were about 50 of our l most honored and noted townsmen. General
 Fremont, Chauncey NJ. Depew and other
 guests who had been the platform were 1 also escorted to MT. Trowbridge's where an
 elegant spread by MT. Barkentin was served
 to the assembly. MT. Blaine's geniality made l his presence special pleasure to all with | whom he came in contact and ii l was remarked that for a man who has tray ] eled 10, ,000 miles or more in the last few
 weeks and made nearly 200 addresses, to say
 nothing of other labors, he was looking l splendidly A pleasant incident of his stay l at the residence was the presentation to hin l of magnificent bouquet, sent by Mrs Prof | Salisbury.
 The time sped very rapidly and half past
 three was close at hand, so Hon. N. D.i Sper l " directed the carriages and marshals to bt
 in readiness and MT. Blaine was escorted tC
 the carriage and the procession was quickly
 reformed and sped to the depot
