Last Weeks Rallies.

The Democratic rally, which was in progress as the BEE was being printed, last week Thursday night, had beauti- ful evening for it's parade, in which par ticipated the Henry A. Bishop associat- ion and Wheeler escort of Bridgeport and the newly formed Sandy Hook club. The Bishop boys showed the best drill and discipline and the line of march was ablaZe with red fire and rockets. The Grand Central, where the visitors were entertained and Mir l.. B. Booths prop erty were especially fine. The meeting, called to order by Mir Thomas F. Brad ley, chairman of the town committee, named MT Maurice Colgan as chairman and was first addressed by Mir Henry A.. Bishop, candidate for Secretary of State, then by the orator of the evening, Hon John J. Phelan of Bridgeport, Collector of Internal Revenue Alexander Troup of New Haven waking up the audience at the close. The Farmer predicts a Demo- cratic majority of at least $50 here and says:
 old Newtown was fairly bathed in glow and brillianca ood all astir with Democratic fer vor. The reception accorded MT Bishop was a very hearty one and showed at his popularityis by no means confined to Bridgeport
 The Danbury Democrat says of Mir Phelan's address:
 Mir Phelan delivered a scholarly address, which was listened to with rapt attention. He gave succinct statement of the issues at stake in the campaign and clearly pointed out the true and patriotic course for all lovers of their country to take. He is a Democrat of Democrats and the people of this town like that kind of man. Mir Phelan will get roy al reception whenever he comes this way again.
 The Republican rally, next evening Oast Friday night), was unfortunate in its weather, but carried out the program given in full in last weeks BEE. The New Milford contingent were joined here by the Bedding Ridge drum corps and the route of the procession was again ablaZe. Some Republicans generously illuminated on Thursday night and, Fri day night, some of the Democrats re- peated the compliment. Hon Joseph l.. Barbour is one of the brightest of the Re publican orators in the State and his speech was ably supplemented by the songs of the New Milford glee club. Af- ter the meeting, the visitors were liber- ally supplied from Newtown's bounty in the basement of the Town Hall. The Standard was ably represented here by it's city editor, MT Franklin C. Smith, from whose lengthy report the BEE quotes:
 Mir Barbour's address continued for over two hours. Never during that time did he lose the attention of his hearers and many times at some especially telling hit or story, the peo pie were carried away with their enthusiasm. The mention of Hon Morgan c. Bulkley's name was the signal for cheers. The success of the whole affair was due in a large degree to the untiriug labors of Mir NJ. c. Flaw. ley and his patriotic assistants and they may biggest ever gotten up by the Republicans of old Newtown. Election day wtll show good results from the meeting and the address.
