man as the Rev. MT. Bushnell to preside over them, and the unanimity with which the choice was made answers well for the future relations between pastor and people,
 BLAINE AND LOGAN RALLY. Enthusiastic Meeting at the Rooms of
 the Republican Central Campaign
 CIub-Speeches by Judge Sheldon and
 Editor Tfbbfts.
 The headquarters of the Republican Blaine and Logan club was filled with voters last evening. A fine banner was flung out before the meeting. Judge Lucius P Deming, chair man of the Republican town committee, called the meeting to order. He said that the first exercise of the evening would be song by the Campaign Glee club. The club mum bering about sixty members, under Pro- lessor Chandlers leadership, sang and were heartily encored.
 President Dawson of the Water company was chosen chairman for the evening. He made few remarks, saying that he was not accustomed to take an active part in poli- tics, but was willing to participate in the campaign this year as he thought it was a very important one. He said that the free trade doctrines had been scattered pretty broadly during many years and he was pained to see that they had great many sympathizers. He was not willing that wages should be leveled down to the standard of ree-trade countries. Our people are living like princes in comparison with people of England and they will not and ought not to submit to any system which shall make them keep 8 lower standard of living. To young men he said that they should put their shoulders to the wheel

 Ex-Judge Sheldon was called upon for a speech. He said it was good thing to have a general shaking up of the people once in four years. He would not undertake to dis cuss the questions at issue in this campaign The candidates of the two great parties have been chosen. It is natural that in a great country there should be great diversity of opinion in regard to the best man to lead the party to victory. Before the convention we all had our ideas about who should be chos- en. Hawley, Edmunds, General Sherman, William NJ. Evarts, and others were mention aH RntI Iyho bo hO11t any unit ruleor suspicion of unfairness chose by the will of the people James G. Blaine we could none of us say that they had not made the best choice. (Three cheers were given for Blaine.) Who have been Blaine's friends and confidential adherents and who his enemies? He was the representa- tive for seven terms from Maine in the House of Representatives. His constituents knew his record. He was the elected Speaker and served until the Democrats got control. He l then went back upon the floor of the House | and was the true friend of the North He | was Lincoln's chosen friend Garfield's chosen | adviser. Did Garfield know him? He had 1 been with him for twenty years and knew | him as well as one man could know another and picked him out of all the men | in the country for the prime minister 1 in his cabinet Blaine is a man of | genius, courage and vigor. People trust the sagacity, courage and the great loyal heart of the man. If Blaine is President of the | United States, we shall have firm pure ad- ministration, trade will be opened with the | republics of South America, the South will l not remain solid for another four years We | know that the people of the South are not l permitted to have a full vote and a fair count. Judge Sheldon spoke of Logan's ser | vice to the country and said he pitied the | persons who are on the Democratic ticket. | for they will be so overwhelmingly defeated next November that their votes won't be ,A15 4ko.s
 Independents, he said it strange that Evarts, Hoar and Edmunds, whom they worship, are now supporting Blaine 1 But the Mulligan letters, they say It must | be an astute and ingenious individual who can contrive anything wrong out of the Mulligan letters. They are like Pickwick's letters to Mrs. Bardell. Judge Sheldon spoke of the tariff, which he said he would not exhaust
 last night-some other night he would con | tinue the discussion. Judge Sheldon was | heartily applauded.
 | MT. John A. Tibbits, editor of the New London Day, was introduced. He eulogized | the Republican candidates and said success
 was already assured. The record of the Re
 publican party is the history of the country 1 for the past twenty years. The Independ
 ents don't know what they are talking
 about. They pose as purists and say Blaine | is not fit man to be President 1 because of the Mulligan letters Half of
 them don't know what those letters are.
 When you unearth an Independent you find
 either sorehead or free trader. They are
 chronic kickers. Take the leaders of the In dependent movement in this city, the hot
 bed of the movement in the State, and you
 can see the string that pulls them-free trade

 tituted to the teaching of free trade to young
 men, may it burn down within a year
 After continuing in the same vein MT. Tibbits
 closed and rousing cheers were given for the
 speaker.
