stration Last Evening.
 The Young Mems Democratic clubs handsome Cleveland and Thurman banner was swung over South Main street last ev ening from the DEMOCRAT building to the Boston grocery. The street was fairly crowded from the postothce to Grand street After the reading of the names of the officers of the meeting, Miles F. Con molly introduced the chairman, Louis NJ. Meyer, who in turn introduced the speak | CTS, Hon k. ]. Flynn of Boston, for three years q member of the Massachusetts house. and Hon Phil Dougherty, also of Boston. After rendering to the club the greetings of the young democrats of Mas sachusetts, MT Flynn expressed his great pleasure at the evidence that the Water bury young men were alive to the great is- sues of the campaign. ''The party said he, lis the oldest and grandest party in existence. It has seen the birth, life and death of every party heretofore, and the | only thing left is for it to see the republi- | can party laid away in the political grave yard of the nation. The principles of our party assure us that we will They are the principles of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson, tho fathers of the country. The | history of our past shows equal rights and privileges to manufacturerand laborer alike. | When the war was over the mission of the republican party was over and the frauds commenced. You know how Samuel J. l Tilden was defeated. and how Hancock, | the hero of Gettysburg, was counted out | Then we nominated plain, simple, honest | Grover Cleveland, whose record as gov ernor of New York was pure snow, and 1 we elected him, and will again this year" After reviewing the record of the president, the reclaiming of LOG, ,00O, 900 acres of land | l.: stopping of imported slavish pauper labor, | the naval improvement, the speaker closed with flat denial that free trade was the democratic war cry. He said the party was made up of laboring men who are not going to take the bread out of their own | mouths.
 After several we'll rendered selections ! by the glee club, MT Dougherty took the floor. He spoke of the false impression abroad that Connecticut was a doubtful state. He touched on the cry of free trade raised by the republicans. He ex- pressed his pleasure that the cry was raised so early fin the campaign, as the party had a chance to show the absurdity of it. "Free raw material is what We want, and a tax on manufactured goods. The party does not want to go further. " Do not let yourself be deluded by thinking so. You were deluded once.
 
 The speaker then quoted the saying of Abraham Lincoln that, 'some of the people can be fooled all the time: all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all the time," and showed its application. He then spoke of the pension cry, saying that more money had been given out in pensions under Cleve- lands administration than under all of the republican presidents. He character &lo~ oc full, conservative and conscientious; pure, provident and progressive. Capt John L. Sake followed in one of his characteristic speeches, rather shy at first but when the speaker warmed he poured hot shot right and left at the republican wigwam, with telling effect on the crowd who warmly applauded him.
 After several selections by the band the crowd dispersed.
