 The Democrats held their biggest campaign rally on Saturday night when they were ad- dressed by Governor David B. Hill of New
 York. The Hyperion theater was filled by
 large Saturday night crowd and five or six
 hundred citizens sat upon the stage, many of
 them as officers of the meeting. Hon. Patrick
 A. Collins of Boston, who was advertised to
 be here, was held back by sickness and MT.
 O'Houlihsn of the New York Tammany Hall Democracy spoke in his place. The Governor spoke both at the Hyperion and the rink. A reception was given him at the residence of J. B. Sargent on Elm street after the meet ings were over together with collation.. He left for NewYork yesterday morning. Among those present at Mir. Sargent's at the reoep- tion were ex-Governer James E. English, 1 Judge A. Heaton Robertson, Town Agent 1 master English, Frank S. Andrew, Dr. M. A. Cremin, Philo s. Bennett, Colonel John G. Healey, Alexander Troup, John H. Leeds, Dr. Linquist, John E. Earle, Wash ington F. Willcox, Harry ". Asher, M. ' Spier, T. J. Fox, Max Adler, Dr. M. O'Con- Martin, Caleb B. Bowers, Hobart L. Hotch-
 kiss, Robert E. Walker, Hartford; Daniel Reed, Bridgeport; Isaac Strouse, Maier Zunx ! der, J. N. States, Morris Houlihan, New York; Henry 0. White. J. 0. Gallagher, Coroner Eli Mix, ! Burton Mansfield, Councilman Terrence Rely, Assessor Charles Spreyer, John Ruff, E. G. Stoddard, J. J. Kennedy, s. Harrison | Wagner, Road Commissioner Reilly, ex- | Mayor Holcomb, T. J. Griffin, 5. Delgrago, \ L. c, Richards, Joseph. McDonough, Michael Tracey, William Sullivan and General Wiley, ! Governor Hills secretary.
 At the rink meeting Hon. James Gallagher | introduced Albert H. Walker of Hartford, who spoke at some length, and was followed by Peter 0. Moulton of this city. The au- dience had weary look. Many Republicans were at the Hyperion meeting among the crowd standing up by the doors drawn to the meeting out of curiosity to see Hill, whom
 che New York Sun yesterday complimented so highly editorially for his borsemanship at ! the recent review in New York, comparing
 him to Alexander astride Bucephalus. The Sun also drew attention to the fact that Mir. ! Hill is 8 bachelor, fact which perhaps &C., | counted for the presence of number of stylish society young ladies at the Hyperion \ meeting here. Governor Hill is not an ora ! tor, but plain, ready, forcible speaker. He
 seemed to be in pretty fair condition Satur- day evening notwithstanding his having \ spoken in Waterbury the same afternoon and his having been on stumping tour for the ! last week, travelling over one thousand miles, ! speaking two or three times day, beside ats I tending corner stone layings and reviews, re- ! ceiving delegations, etc. AS says 8 New York journal: ''If he is beaten and Cleve- | land too, he might we'll hang up the fiddle as far as his chances for further politi- \ ooIV onti iz 0nU na6 in his speeches ia this State Saturday took g | somewhat doubtful view about the Demo crats carrying Connecticut, and held this ! view until he got to the Lincoln rink meet ' ing and encountered Hon. James Gallagher, | when he braced up and announced that he I was now of a more hopeful opinion on that I subject. Ex- Governor Ingersoll of this city
 is by far finer and mora finished and pol ished speaker than Governor Hill, as is also Hon. Henry c. Robinson of Hartford and ex- Governor Harrison of this city, to say noth- ing of the magnetic eloquence of General Jo \ Hswley and the strong, vigorous and able \ speaking of Senator Platt.
 Gov. Hill in his speech in this city concen-
 trated his fire largely upon disowning free
 trade doctrines, making very emphatic ssser-
 tions that the Democratic party were not fol
 free trade-a pill which must have been
 swallowed rather reluctantly by the many | avowed free trade Democrats in the audi ! ence. Governor Hill evidently thought that
 in New Haven attitudes free trade was not the card. He also fattered the workingmen by asserting that American mechanics re-
 ceived higher pay, not because of protection,
 but because they were more skillful than the \ mechanics of other countries.
 At the reception the rank and file of the party passed into the Sargent mansion through one door and out another, the stream
 of Democrats thus keeping the New
 York governor very busy shaking hands.
