Republican Rally at
Londonderry.
200 Torches i'm Line.

700 People present-Fine Speaking
Good Music and much Rnthusiasm.
The largest evening political meet
ing ever held in this section came off
last night at Londonderry, under the
auspices of the Londonderry Harri-
son and Morton Club. The evening
was unpropitious, in weather point
of view, it having rained the night be-
fore and was showery through the day
and up to 6 o'clock in the afternoon,
yet between six and seven hundred
people assembled. The torch-light
procession, numbering 200 torches,
was the finest ever seen in little
country place. One of the features
of the procession was a large trans
parency painted by John r. Chaplin
of Railway, N. j., a summer visitor
among us. On one side was a coon
with one foot on cog wheel and the
other on a machinist hammer, while
across his breast was the American
flag on which was printed "Protec-
ton for American manufacturers"
and above, the legend, "That same
old coon!" On the reverse side was
n representation of man fishing with
his bait marked "free trade" and APP
preaching it was large fish labeled
"defeat." Above this was written
"He'll catch it in November" On
another side was "The Tribes of
Benjamin and Levi" and on the re-
naming side, "Vote September 4th. !"
The procession started from the resi-
dence of DR.. Arnold and led by the
Londonderry Cornet Band and Wind
ham Drum Corps, marched through
Main street and to the head of Wes-
ton street, returning to Union Hall,
where it was designed to hold the
meeting, but on the arrival of the pro-
cession it was found that the hall was
literally packed with people and at
least 400 outside. Frank Stevens
kindly offered the use of his beautiful
grounds, in front of his residence.
This was accepted and the seats in
the hall were removed and were all
occupied by the ladies', the men cheer
fully standing.
The large meeting was addressed
from the balcony, over the front door,
of Mr.. Stevens House, by F. w.
Butler and John D. Spellman of
Rutland. The speeches were able
and attentively listened to. Owing
to the shortness of the time we are
unable to give even synopsis.
Frequent and hearty bursts of ap-
plause attested to the satisfaction of
the audience. The Glee Club and
Bands added largely to the success OF
the meeting. A. E. Cudworth, pres
ident of the Club, presided. Many
residences were handsomely decorated
and spirit of enthusiasm prevailed
everywhere.

Here are more extracts which are
interesting reading at this time and
which should give timely warning to
every American who does not wish
to play into the hands of Great Brit
ain:
London News: The electoral con-
fict now in progress is conflict be-
tween free trade and protection, and
nothing less. The stone now set
rolling will not stop until it has
broken the idol of protection to pieces.
London Times That import du-
ties stifie production and limit the area
of a country's market is purely free
trade argument. AS such, we are
glad to see President Cleveland using
them, though we are sorry for the in
fatuation which makes it dangerous
to give them their right name.
Saturday Review They (the Pres
ident and the Democratic leaders
have for whatever motive, resolved to
adopt a free trade policy. Nothing
can more explicit than the Presidents
language.
London Globe: Mr.. Cleveland
has taken his stand on free trade.
And on the broad question Mr..
Cleveland's .candidature naturally and
necessarily carries English sympathy.
London Standard: To American
ears the whole message (Mr. Cleve-
land's) must be redolent of Golden
ism in slightly modified form. The
governing issue of the contest will lie
between protection and free trade.
The Scotsman If once the
United States finds herself on the
road to free trade she will hardly
know where to stop.
London Times: The tariff cannot
be reduced to the strict proportions of
a revenue corresponding to the limited
and diminishing necessities of the
federal government without admitting
great flood of foreign competition.
London Saturday Review: He
and they (Mr. Cleveland and the
Democratic leaders) have taken NJ
again the old free trade policy Of the
South Carolina politicians.
Glasgow Herald: With President
Cleveland, Great Britain knows
where she is.
London Post: We shall be mucl
mistaken if the effect of this state
communication will not be to strength
en- considerably the cause of fire,
traders in all parts of the world.
The London Iron and Stee
Traders Journal speaks of the De
mocracy as ''the. party which advo
Gates entire freedom of trade"
Dundee Peoples Journal: Should
Congress give effect to this propose
its immediate result would be an enor
nous stimulus to English industry.

burglary mt Chester.

Last Friday night masked burglars
entered the house of Geo. G. Allen,
who resided near Chester Depot.
Mr.. & Mrs. Allen were awakened
by dark lantern being flashed in
their faces, and were startled to see
two masked men with revolvers in
their hands. They were ordered to
remain quiet if they valued their lives.
While one of the men covered Mr..
Allen and his wife with revolvers, a
second proceeded to make asystemat-
ic search of the house, appropriatlng
what articles of value were found. A
key to safe standing in small room
near the sleeping room was found,
and the safe was opened and rified.
Here the burglar found q valuable
watch and chain, few pieces of jew
-elry and about $1,000 in gold and cur
rency.
$1,000 reward is offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the thieves, and
$500 for the recovery of the property.

Hon. Elijah A. Morse of Canton,

Finally and lastly, believe in the
Republican party, because it is an
American party and exalts American
citizenship. Do you remember some
years ago, when King Theodore OF
Abyssinia captured an Englishman,
took him 700 miles across the desert,
up mountain sides to his mountain
fastness, and held him for a ransom
1t took six months for the news to
reach England. 1t took six months
to fit out an expedition. An expedi-
ton was fitted out and landed in the
country. 1t crossed malarious marsh
es, marched 7OO.miles across the des-
ert, went up the mountain sides, and
laundering at the gates of his mount
ain fastness, demanded the surrender
of the Englishman. The demand
was refused. King Theodore and
700 of his warriors were slain. They
recaptured the Englishman, they took
him down the mountain side, back
700 miles across the desert, under a
torrid sun. They embarked him on
board a ship, and took him back to
England, and a royal proclamation
announced the success of the expedi-
ton to Abyssinia. That is what it
means to be an English citizen. |
