 G1ee C1ub-The Escort.
 The oldest inhabitant never saw Q finer
 political rally within doors in this city, not
 excepting F'war times,n than was seen in the notably grand Republican rally at Carlls Opera House last night. While the immense audience awaited the arrival of the speakers Professor Chandler's Glee club rendered four roIlicking campaign songs, which were en- Enthusiastically received. The appearance of Hon. Henry B. Harrison on the stage among | the vice presidents was the signal for great cheering, which did not subside till he arose and bowed his acknowledgement of the com pliment. The Glee club added force to the applause by it's telling cheer, "1, 2, 3, Blaine, I Harrison, Allen, victory, Oh-i-o." As the | banner of the Third ward Irish-American club was borne down the aisle, followed by a l large delegation of the members, the whole
 house greeted it with hearty and continued | clapping. The club filled the front rows of ] the parquette.
 The appearance of General Hawley, ex- Governor Bigelow and Hon. P. 0. Lounsbury l on the stage (at s:3O was the signal for
 great and prolonged applause from the man. l moth assembly present. The great stage was
 also crowded, being occupied by the officers of the meeting (whose names were publishd 1 in yesterdays CoURIER) and the Glee club, about 80 strong, the Young Mems Repubi- l can club and not few ladies. The speakers, together with ex-Governor Bigelow and Hon. N. D. Sperry, were escorted in carriages to the hall by the Young Mems Republican club, members of the Merwin legion, the James Graham Plumed Knights of West Haven, the Westville company, the Gen. George H. Ford cadets and the Third ward Irish-American Blaine and Logan club, all in citizens dress. The splendid singing by the glee club was fine feature of the occasion. MT. Wade H. Thompson on behalf of the Young Mems Republican club called the meeting to order in appropriate words and read the following dispatch which aroused great applause:
 Wade H. Thompson, Young Mems Republican club: Thanks for your friendly letter. I congratulate JAMES c. BLAINE Ex-Governor Bigelow, presiding officer of the meeting, was then introduced by MT. Thompson and spoke as follows:
 Fellow citizens-I am grateful for the honor of presiding over this large and intelli- gent audience. The story of the Republican party is written on the hearts of all the Am erican people. The arraignment of the Dem ocratic party by George William Curtis be- fore the Republican convention is as true
 tonight as then. The people do not believe this is spells fight by the Republican party. Vermont, Maine and Ohio have spoken for
 the integrity and honor of the party urge all to do what they can for the election of that eminent statesman James G. Blaine, the brave soldier John A. Logan, and our fellow townsman Henry B. Harrison (great applause), whom no one knows but to love and admire. Our work is glorious one. Victory will be ours if we do our best. The Glee club then sang F'The Snalze'' and FfThe Son of the State of Maine," which were highly appre- ciated.
 Governor Bigelow introduced the Hon.
 Phineas c. Lounsbury, who discussed ably
 and eloquently many of the issues of the day. He said he regretted to occupy portion of
 the evening when it might be so proftably
 filled by him whose eloquence has won so
 high admiration on the floor of the Senate
 and before the American people, one whom
 we had hoped to give our support for the
 highest position in the nation and which is only postponed for him. The young men
 must now bear the banner that the warriors
 have carried so long. The campaign is a
 most important one. It is the duty of every
 one to govern his political action by his con
 victions, not blinded or prejudiced by party
 passion. No one has a right when funda-
 mental principles are at stake to throw away his influence on temporary issues and incl dental questions. He spoke at length on the duty of strong government in foreign rela- tions. A State that does not protect it's citizens abroad proves itself unworthy of place among civilized nations. We do not interfere with others nor will we suffer dietation by others. The speaker
 urged the necessity of protecting each ci.5
 zen in the discharge of the highest function of citizenship, the elective frachise, the vio- lation of which is fatal blow at the theory
 of our government. By another twenty-five
 years of Republican rule every man, white
 or black, will have his right secured The
 tariff was discussed concisely and effectively.
 The secret of the Independent movement is
 ostensiblv the dissatisfaction with Blaine's
 record but really free trade. "Mulligan let ters'' is the only argument or answer the Democratic party can offer to any issue. There is no word in them but what exoner ates MT. Blaine from dishonor.
 After a song by the Glee club Senator
 Joseph R. Hawley was introduced. He said ''We belong to the grandest progressive party that ever existed We have made splendid record in our twenty-three years of power The Democratic party is ashamed of it's yes terday and afraid of it's tomorrow. I am profoundly grateful to see these stalwart young men coming into the Republican party. They will soon be taking the places of us older ones.
 F'I want to ask, for what will we turn the
 rascals out2 The Republican party was not
 the outcome of the brain of any Schurz or Curtis, or any other finite mortal. It was a
 mysterious growth and formed to take con-
 trol of our country in a crisis and save it." -
 The speaker reviewed the history of the
 Republican party, referring to the more i'm
 portant measures passed by the party, and aC1rod if thnra n them for turning out the rascals. He asked in what the party was at fault. ''There is no way, y
 he said, F'of judging of a party except by what it has fought for and worked for and
 prayed for. We have been going about with
 club upon our shoulder seeking for a fair
 fight. We should have had a fight upon the tariff. We are protectionists. The people will not be deceived. Our platform and can
 didate have frankly expressed our opinions on the subjects. How is it with the other partya How is it with the other man? Si- ] lent, except to accept the platform"
 question. He said if Chinese wall were built around this country we should neither go naked or starve. We can raise enough for our wants. England doesn't raise enough wheat or corn or sugar or met als to supply her people She could not live week with Chinese wall about her. The London Times says we are extending our
 
 est The English people are taking a great
 deal of interest in this campaign.
 The tariff question was thoroughly dis 1 cussed Cleveland's inexperience and ignor- \ ance of national matters was shown.
 It was stated that MT. Cleveland ! had even never been in Wash l ington and had never expressed an opinion | about affairs in the city. The expressions I of Professor Sumner upon the war were al | luded to, wherein the professor said that the politicians got the country into mess and | they had to have a war about it. The speak
 CT concluded that the professor must be ex- ! cused on the ground that he didn't know ! any better. Cleveland's war record was 1 shown up and tribute paid to the Republi-
 can candidate for Governor, the Hon. Henry B. Harrison.
 Senator Hawley's speech was listened to with the closest interest and the applause | was frequent.
