OLD xALE,s RALLY.

son and Hon. HI. c. Robinson.
 Carll's Opera House was again crowded to | it's utmost capacity last evening There | were the same oyererowded aisles, the same disappointed parties that went away sorrow ing because they could not gain admittance to the hall, the same rounds of applause that have been characteristic of previous Repub- hcan audiences. There were many ladies present both on the stage and in the body of the house. The middle tier of boxes were graced by the young ladies of Mrs. Cady's and Miss Nott's boarding schools. There were 800 hundred students present. An eloquent basket of flowers stood upon the speakers stand. The banners of the classes ! stood on the stage.
 Mr. E. N Hidden '95, the president of the committee of arrangements, introduced the Yale Glee club, which sang a lively college | air. MT. Hidden read the list of officers of the meeting as published in yesterdays COURIER, and introduced the president of the meeting, the Hon. George H. Watrous. Mr. Watrous made short address in which he said it was not safe to trust the country to the hands of the South.
 Judge H. B. Munson was introduced | lifelong Democrat recently converted. He said he had been studying the accusations of the Democratic party against the Republican party, and wished to call attention to few | of those charges In the first place the charge is made that they squander the public money. But no nation has good credit as | ours They charge that the Republican party | has been squandering the public lands and ! giving them to corporations. By a thorough | review of the matter, the speaker disproved ! the charge and showed the great benefit to | | cy of railroad land grants. The speaker said he was greatly interested in the election of l the Hon. Henry B. Harrison, the mention of \ whose name was received with great applause. The Glee club then rendered Gee Whoa 1 Cleveland" In response to an encore they l sang ''Woolsey Marching Song.''
 1 The Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew was re- ! ceived with prolonged cheers. He said: q 1 certainly could have prouder moment l than in returning to Yale by invitation of the 1 students to meet with such a reception as | this And yet cannot pass on to the pur- pose for which this meeting is called without l alluding to an event which has cast gloom | over the college" The speaker then went on | to speak of the death of Professor Lewis R. ! Packard, who was his classmate.
 F'It seems to mark the hope of the perpe- l tuity of our institutions that the universi- ties are taking such an interest in the present 1 election. It was my privilege to address the ! students of Princeton on the evening of the Ohio election. The next day could tell a Republican block off. He had his hat on l the back of his head. His nose was decid- ed pug. I could tell Democrat a mile off. 1 His hat was down over his eyes and when he was to be embraced by Republican he had I an engagement elsewhere.
 "The Democratic party once had states men and progressive ideas. But there came | 8 time when it's work was limited It then ran along on an inherited constitution. It | 4o, 1,a4H aI Jackson it's perennial candidate for pres ident. But since the war Jackson has ceased to be candidate and the party has been en- gagged in assault upon the Republican party | It said Lincoln was babboon and Hamlin a l 'nigger.' In the Grant canvass their ag- | gTessive campaign was that Grant was a most terrible butcher. In the Garfield can vass they gave the chalk industry boom by chalking 1929" all over the country. Now l they propose to run the campaign on the Mulligan letters Well, very few people have read the letters. I understand that Carl l Schurz devoted two hours to the 'Mulligan' l letters. Now, MT. Schurz probably attacks Blaine on account of sourness. I read those letters. What is there in them! There is no corruption in them. MT. Blaine made a foolish venture; there is no evidence of any wrong rulings. He was virtually acquitted that the later batch of letters
 
 published has been given to the public the whole transaction has been left free from official stain.- There has not
 been traced into Blaine's pocket dollar of public money. MT. Bayard, who is the Chevalier Bayard of the Democratic party, and MT. Beecher, who is the apostle of the 1 Independents, advocated Blaine's appoint ment to the Garfield cabinet Now their cries of purity amount to nothing. They now say that Mulligan has been promised | .G IL
 lands cabinet.
 | Cleveland says honest government is the only issue. But, great heavens, Governor, are not civil service reform, a free ballot, 8 fair count, protection to American citizen ship and labor issues before the people?" The speaker spoke briefly on the question 1 of the tariff. "In all the common articles
 that make up the necessaries of life dollal here is worth as much as in England, yet
 wages are much less there than here. I visit
 ed Ireland and saw the misery that exists
 there. It is because they have no manufac-
 tories there. England crushed them out
 two hundred years ago and they can't sci
 them up. The country is agricultural
 Home rule and protective tariff are needed
 to save Ireland. If they had manufactures ter millions would live where three millions now ! starve.
 'Goveror Cleveland says it is dishonest to accumulate a surplus in the treasury. 1 We'll, his party never accumulated surplus in the treasury. During twenty-five years the city of New York has had Demo cratic rule, yet their debt is one hundred and twenty-five millions from fifty millions and they admit that large part of it was stolen. Now if that were applied over the county for four years how much would ou1 debt be and how much of it would be stolen?
 ''The English want Cleveland elected
 They think Blaine is embodiment of what I TbaxT o1 about him and don't know anything about
 Cleveland.
 s'Now the Independents tell us that wher Cleveland recognizes anything wrong in his party he will step out of it. Now you nus
 judge a man by what he has done. When il 1864 the Democrats declared the war a fail ure he voted the Democratic ticket. In 1S7t
 the Democratic party declared resumption l schemes impossible and he voted the ticket
 When elected by a popular majority whicl
 meant in no sense Democratic victory, h'
 said he recognized it as forerunner of tht
 Democratic victory in 1884. At Elmira h.
 addressed the farmers and said that the lanc
 remained firm in it's place. The trouble
 with him is that as a public
 man he is only five years old. Th'
 trouble with him is that five years | ago no one in this audience had ever heard of him. Now we don't want any politica
 infant to lead as. Again, he is a bachelor
 It's no use saying he could have got married if he wanted to. There is an unlimited op l portunity for that, young men, in this coun
 try. If you live the right sort of lives ana
 are willing to sit up late Sunday nights a
 the critical time and can spend money enougl 5 on candy and ice cream, there is no trouble
 about it. The last bachelor president wa
 Buchanan and we got enough of him.
 ''f anyone will send me postal card tell ing of any act which Hendricks has per formed that commends him as a statesman 3 why will send by return mail bottle O Lydia Pinkham's best preparation. He i
 the man who represents everything that In dependent Republicans profess to despise. 5 can't understand why they should vote fo him.
 The orator closed by eulogizing Logan and , Blaine. His speech was exceedingly witty } and telling. It was frequently greeted witt laughter and applause.
 The Glee club sang song, Here's to G. Blaine" set to the tune of "Heres t Good Old Yale, " and the students in the par { quet gave three times three for the speaker 5 The Hon. H. c. Robinson spoke for fey minutes, giving sarcastic review of tn
 convention at Chicago and speaking of Loga1
