 The Lines Escort.
 The West Haven rally, under the auspices of the Young Mems Republican club last evening, was grand success. Great enthu- siasm prevailed. The hall was filled to over flowing.
 The platform was occupied by about twen- ty-fve vice presidents and guests, and MT. 0. E. Thompson presided. After singing by the gles club MT. Thompson iu short speech introduced the speaker.
 Mr. Benton seemed to catch his audience at the start and held the attention of every- body for nearly an hour and 8 half. After a very short preface he took up the tariff ques- ton and discussed it in an intelligent and able manner, which showed great familiarity with its details.
 He alluded to the great work done by the Republican party. He referred to the Dem- ocratic fear of a surplus and recounted the various ways which are advanced for reduc. ing it, placing in vivid contrast the Presi- dents way of 1osning two-thirds of it to favorite banks without interest, the proposition of MT. Mills and the commendable way proposed by the recent Senate bill.
