 r Hartford Republicans had grand flag rais- ing at Republican headquarters in that city last evening. Colonel John B.

Gill bert; the Pratt & Whitney company Blaine and Logan legion, Captain George E. Haight; the Harrison legion, Major L. E. Sey- mour; the Eighth ward Blaine and Logan club, Captain James H. Jarman. There were about half score of companies not uniform ed The route of procession was up Ford street to High, to Church, to Trumbull, to Main, to Grove street. Many places were il- luminated along the route of march. There were short speeches at headquarters.
 The Hon. John T. Wait spoke to large audience at Jewett City Tuesday evening, when the campaign was opened at that place, and many were unable to gain admission to the hall.
 At Groton a campaign company has been formed, and there was 8 large ratification meeting on Tuesday evening addressed by Mir. Edgar NJ. Warner, of Plainfeld. Wednesday evening Republican banner was raised at Willimantic in the presence of five thousand people. It was raised amidst great cheering, and then procession headed by the Willimantic band proceeded to the opera house, where Q stirring address was made by A. P. Shaw, United States minister at Manchester, England. The evening made an suspicious opening to the campaign in Willimantic.
 Philip Hugo, Frederick Bucholz, Julius Hermann, Charles Katsch and George Faul- haber are the New Haven delegates to the State convention of the Progressive Union to be held in Hartford next Tuesday. It is expected that tho convention will endorse Waller and probably the whole Democratic ticket.
 The Democrats anticipate big meeting at Carll's Opera House next Tuesday evening, when Governor Waller will speak, Gnd hope to have it rival the recent great Republican rally when the Hon. Henry B. Harrison, our next Governor, spoke. It is somewhat ex- pected by the faithful that Governor Walters speech will be in the nature of reply to MT. Harrison's. All the Democratic clubs will probably turn out to receive Governor Wal Ter.
