knew him to be an early riser An hour or

tunate man died at $3.50 in the afternoon,

Rousing Political Rally ON the
Grounds of ID. A. A. Ruckingham-
Eloquent Speeehes-Log Cabin Dedi-
catIOn-A Young Republican Club
Organized with One Hundred Menu
bers-
Especial to the JOURNAL AND CounIER.l
CHESHIRE, Aug. 1S.-The Republicans of
Rheshire held political rally this afternoon
which proved as novel as it was successful.
It was held on the spacious grounds of Mr..
d. A. A. Buck, who occupies the handsome
residence on Hinman avenue, formerly the
house of Chief Justice Hinman. There was
| an attendance of about i've hundred. Elo-
quent and powerful addresses were made by
Secretary of State Hubbard of Wallingford,
Herbert E. Benton of New Haven, E. IA. Judd
of Wallingford and G. a. Sawyer of Meriden.
Hon. e. r. Brown presided, and Wesley A.
Lanyon and Frederick Ives acted as secreta-
ries. An interesting feature of the exercises
was the dedication of log cabin which Mr..
Buck had caused to be erected on his grounds
| and the raising of handsome American flag
bearing the names of the Republican cRndi-
| dates for President and Vice President. The
banner raising was conducted by two veteran
| citizens of Cheshire, Charles e. Russell, ST.,
| and Jesse Baldwin, both of whom voted for
"Tippecanoe and Tyler TOO" forty-eight years
l ago. After the speech making generous
| collation. was served to about two hundred
/ guests under the handsome naples which
| adorn Mr.. Bucks spacious grounds. A Young
Republican club was gotten under way dur
ing the afternoon by the enrolment of nearly
one hundred names. A meeting for the Or
ganization of the club will be held in the
court room next Wednesday evening. The
| Republicans of Cheshire are wide awake and
may be relied upon to give good account of
l themselves next November.
