THE LAST RALLY.

Judge QufIHnan. Of Ansonfa. Ad- dresses a Large Audience of Irish- Americans - His Eloquent Words Frequently AppIauded = Cheering Words From New York.
 The banner of the Third ward Irish-Amer- ican Blaine and Logan club was carried at the head of about one hundred and fifty Irish-American voters who, preceded by Landrigan's band, marched up Chapel street to Carlrs Opera House last evening, where's large crowd had gathered to participate in the last Republican rally of the campaign.
 After songs by the Glee club the meeting was organized with Major Patrick Maher as president The other officers were published in the COURIER yesterday.
 Judge J. B. Quillinan, of Ansonia, was the first speaker. He was greeted with cheers. He proceeded to speak upon the tariff ques- tion No reduction in the tariff had ever been made without damaging our material interests, and in all our history no increase in the tariff had been made without benefit ting our industries The Constitution of this country was formed in such way that this country could protect itself from England George Washington favored protective tariff for fostering our industries and the second bill he signed after being made Presi- dent was the protective tariff bill. And for forty years there was no division of senti- ment in regard to the advisabiity of the measure. All the, great states men of the time were in favor of it. They only differed as to. the extent of the tariff Madison and Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton knew as much about what the country needed as do George William Curtis, James Freeman Clarke, Carl Schurz and the others who think they know more than anyone else. Judge Quillinan discussed the tariff legisla- tion of the country. The Democrats "strad- dled" in many previously as they have done this year on the tariff question.
 The speaker then proceeded to review the history of the Republican party from the time President Lincoln went into power. They found an empty treasury and the doors were rusting on their hinges, they had been so long unused. Worse than all they found eleven States in open rebellion. Lincoln plead ed with them and tried to coax them back to their allegiance, but they wouldn't be coaxed and they trampled the flag in the dust. Hendricks aided and encouraged and abet- ted that rebellion. The debt has been re- duced, the revenue tax also, millions of dol lars have been paid to the widows and or phans of those who wore that blue which MT. Hendricks couldn't wear The Republican party has been reducing the tariff on the necessaries of life.
 At the conclusion of Judge Qui1linan's speech MT. A. H. Kellam read the following telegram from George H. Sargent, New York, the brother and partner of J. B. Sargent Hon. Lynde Harrison:
 greatly regret my inability to be with you tonight to lend my influence in favor of Blaine, Logan and protection to American la bor. As you know;my voice and vote are heart fly and sincerely for Blaine, in whose integrity and ability I have the most implicit confidence. Connecticut must give a good Republican major ity tomorrow if the workingmen understand their own interests thoroughly as I think they do; for they must realize that the Dem ocratic party by precept and practice means Urine is to open our gates to let John Bull come in free and clear, loaded with his pauper labor productions. The Democratic business mems parade here last Saturday was mostly composed of i'm. porters, Wall street bears and free traders. Urge my friends to vote for Blaine
 GEORGE Ii. SARGENT.
