TENrH WARD REPUBLICANs.


 An KnthusIastfc GatherIng-EIo-
 quent Addresses.
 4 grand mass meeting of Republicans and their friends was held in the Republican wigwam at the corner of Diekerman and Spery streets last evening. The hall was finely decorated with flags and splendidly lighted with gas. The building was packed with earnest searchers after truth and they paid strict attention to the speakers through out the evening.
 The meeting was called to order by Hugh Daley, who introduced Lynde Harrison as president of the evening. MT. Harrison on taking the chair made few remarks con- gratu1atory to the Republicans of the Tenth ward for their enterprise in building such a fine structure for campaign purposes.
 The Republican Glee club, headed by Pro- lessor Chandler, entered the building at this point and were received with universal ap- plause They responded by singing cam paign song to the tune 'FWatch on the Rhine. J The club was encored and responded with another song.
 Mr. Daley then introduced Professor Will liam K Townsend, whos he said would
  Grover Cleveland, the Democratic candidate for President.
 MT. Townsend commenced his address by relating an anecdote about man who was called upon to ask the blessing, but who re- piled that he was so d-d deaf that he could not hear, and no blessing asked. Mir Townsend, proceeding, said that he was IT. meneed an elaborate eu1ogy of James G. Blaine. Continuing he compared Grover Cleveland to Barnum's white elephant He said that the Democratic candidate was the enemy of the soldiers, sailors and farmers, and a traitor to the Iaboring men of his own State The speaker said he would pass over Mir. Cleveland's private life and moral char acter. The speaker then went over the public life of MT. Cleveland, showing his charges as sheriff which the speaker claimed were ex- orbitant What shall we say of man who makes profession of law and then goes to his friends and asks to be made sheriff? As to his ability one word It is a fact that Grover Cleveland has never had case before the Supreme court of the State of New York. He is noted for the bills which he signs and the bills which he Yetoes. He is called reform CT, but he is nothing of the kind The
 
 Governor Cleveland's appointments, which he said were not in the interest of the peo- pie, but entirely in opposition to the work ingmen. MT. Townsend quoted the various laws which MT. Cleveland had vetoed whils Governor, which passed the Legislature while he has been in office, including bills for the benefit of soldiers and sailors. He had no sympathy, said the speaker, with the men1 who had fought for their country. MT. Townsend continued in a similar vein, attacking the various vetoes of Governor Cleveland in an earnest manner He charged MT. Cleveland with being the servile tool of the English free traders and gave facts to prove his assertion The ten ure of office bill as vetoed by MT. Cleveland was dwelt upon at some length. Finally, said he, MT. Cleveland is denounced by all the workingmen's organizations, by the Grand Army and all other organizations with whom he has come in contact during his gubernatoral career. He said the Rupub- licans picked out a statesman for President, while the Democrats went for dark horse and they got big dark jackass.
 MT. Townsend closed with glowing eulogy of James G. Blaine, the Republican candi- date for President
 Lynde Harrison read telegram from John A. Logan in which he said: "I will come to Connecticut on my way from Massaehu- setts." (Cheers.)
 Mr. Harrison called for three cheers for Blaine and "Black Jack Logan" Then cheers were also given for Henry B.. Harrison at the suggestion of MT. Daley.
 Colonel A. D. Shaw was then introduced and made very spirited speech. He re- ferred to the late Governor Buckingham in glowing terms, to Hon. Henry B. Harrison and other prominent Republicans of Con necticut. Proceeding, the speaker took up the question of labor and said he had great sympathy with the working men. He then referred to his six years residence in England and said that much had been done to benefit Ireland, and which he hoped would be continued in the years to come. The speaker then took up the tariff question, and said that the in ternal revenue taxes in England were exorbi- tant and yet they called it free trade Eng Iand.'' The colonel then expatiated upon the plan of England to increase in wealth and power, which, he said, by their internal revenue system had greatly enriched them. He continued at great length in a similar vein, and then compared the plans of Eng and with the protective tariff system of the United States, and said that the American were the happiest people on the :ace of the globe.
 Stand up, said the speaker, for American abor. I love that word 'Fprotection' be- speaker said that everybody in England would be pleased with the election of Grover on account of his free trade prin- ,iples. He said the manufacturers knew what they wanted better than the lawyers lnd professors in our colleges. He also Iuoted facts and figures showing the value ,f the products of Connecticut farms and ! actories, which he said came from the sys- em of protective tariff. What is wanted in his country is skilled workmen, vho will benefit the country by lonest toll. The hands of workmen have \ made this great nation, and all over tive see he monuments of wealth and power. This l ontest, this year, is important. Every work | nan needs rest and quiet. have not Eord to say about either candidate. have | othing to say about dragging down either andidate in filth and dust; but believe | he best interests demand that the Repub- 1 can candidate for President should be elect d.
 The meeting was closed by the Glee club 1 inging "Hurrah for the Union"
