 The uproarious spirit of success pervaded the monday meeting of the Business and Workingmens campaign club yesterday and the overhowing enthusiasm of the throng that filled every inch of the hall burst forth in cheer upon cheer as each speaker was in- troduced.
 Chairman Hugh Daley of the Republican town committee, to whose efforts the great gain in this city is in great part due, was the first speaker. He spoke of the magnif- cent victory in glorious, though temperate terms. The great secret of our success he ascribed to judgment and foresight which had governed every move of the party throughout the campaign. ''The present great victory was in early presenting our men to the board of registrars he said, tand the final work was when the Democratic napier was drawn on Tuesday morning, backed by an overwhelming sum of money" He de- plored the fact that Connecticut hadn't been more noble in supporting the party that had protected her for years, but rejoiced over the Republican gains in Democratic strong holds, and our victory is honestly and fair ly won" continued he. f'I am willing to show all my books to the Democratic newspapers for publication, if they want to, and they can't find dollar dishonesty spent"
 Amid storms of applause Hon. N.D .Sperry was called upon. He said he was both glad and sad at the result-glad of Republican victory and sad at the unmerciful defeat of the opponents. "But I'm not worth fig tp talk after election, D he explained. 'I rejoice and hope we have majority in the lower house of Congress also. Then we will have q tariff bill that will be benefit and honor to the country" He said he felt sad all election day to see workingmen pass from factory to polls and cast ballot for free trade, which was the same as driving nail in Connecticut coffins. It was voting for foreign industries instead of domestic, clinging to the old name when the Democratic party had lost it's usefulness. "Let us be watchful, vigiIant, earnest" said he. "Don't lay aside our armor at the news of victory, but keep our weapons and still stand like a rock by our grand Republican principles. From the hour Benjamin Harrison was nominated he has grown steadily, week by week, and his speeches rang through the ceuntry like the blast and bugle of freedom. No man put the issue so tersely or squarely to the people as he." In concluding MT. Sperry prophesied that the fruits of this victory would grow to be blessing to the country for years to come.
 Judge Rufus s. Pickett then addressed the meeting. He said the little 460 plurality by which Cleveland carried Connecticut was composed of class who didn't care rush about the people; they were professors and ignorant voters who were stain to the State. 70 that Connecticut" he exclaimed, ''had been more patriotic in standing by her brave soldiers, Harrison and Bulkeley. The bal- 10ko 0f kI,a, yl pending shadows of free trade and now the sunshine of protection will illuminate the land, in whose darkest depths the Mills bill is buried with it's back to the resurrection forever"
 J. Rice Winchell, in a short address, said that he couldn't help but feel what a power there was in body of men determined to accomplish one purpose. 'The majority in New Haven," said he, "is reduced about 163? and this in the stronghold of free trade and tariff reform. We have read the free trade arguments and come to the conclusion that protection was the right thing to adopt" He went on to say that the party hadn't ever worked so harmonious1y or shown such per- severence. "The same harmony in the State of Connecticut four years hence, and it will not be hesitating and halting, but outspoken in the cause of Republican rule and protec- tion"
 Mir. Henry L. Dawson said that Barnum's mule had reared and kicked the Democratic party into the mud where all the water in the Mississippi river couldn't cleanse their dirty linen. "The south put chip on her skoul- der," said he, 'sand, thank God, we have knocked it off"
 Short speeches were also made by O. s. Baldwin and w. s. Welles. On motion of MT. N. D. Sperry vote of thanks was vocif- erously rendered to the president and execu- tive committee of the club for their excellent campaign work. Arrangements for the grand Republican parade and celebration last evening were to be made by the execu- tive committee. It was voted to hold nc mora nnnndav rnaekinos
