 An EnrhusIastIe Gathering.
 A crowded hall as usual marked the regu- lar monday meeting of the Business and Workingmen's Campaign club at 99 Orange street yesterday.
 After cornet solo by MT. Reyes, President Easterbreok called for the report of the committee appointed to arrange the joint debate with the tariff Reform club. J. Rice WinchelI, in the absence of the committees chairman, A. H. Kellam, made the report, which was substantially as published in yes terday mornings COURIER.
 "The question whether we should have one or several debates came before us," said MT. Winchel, "but I think our Democratic friends thought they would have had all they wanted after one bout" Ladies and minors will not be given tickets as the issues handled will be of great interest to voters alone, and it is desired that all the room may be given to them.
 Mr. Winchell said everything in the con- ference between the two committees was harmonious. An hour and quarter will be given to each speaker and half hour after this to finish the debate.
 The committee's report was accepted, and q motion was brought forward to give the committee power to appoint the speaker and 6 chairman for the club. This was unani- mously passed.
 President Easterbrook then called on Law yer E. B. Matthewman for a few remarks. He stated that the club was formed for busi- ness and work, "and in pursuance of this policy" said he, five ought to make 1t per sonal duty to see that every name on the reg istry list is duly made and placed among our voters" He then read few figures showing the number of Republicans in the several wards who hadn't been made as yet this fall. In the First ward there were "A on the night preceding at o'clock, in the second oS, the Third 86, Fourth 11S, Sixth 57, Seventh 49, Eighth 47, Ninth 40, Tenth S9, Eleventh 45, Twelfth 41, Thirteenth 12, Fourteenth 10, Fifteenth 6.
 "The first and all-important topic is to get these made, ;" said MT. Matthewman. 'lt is more important than the tariff and is incunn- bent on all for attention"
 MT. Thomas J. Sullivan, who presided at the meeting addressed by Judge Morrison of New York few days ago, was then called upon.
 q have lived and worked under both free trade and protection" said he. British greed and tyranny have abetted the Demo- fare behind the treacherous rocks of free trade, and the fondest wish to Britain is that the glorious republic in America may be stranded on the same rocks. The Democratic party have finally shown their colors in the red flag, the emblem of St. George, and I, and every Irishman that feels half a love for Ireland, should defy them to the death."
 MT. Sullivan then told of his early life in Ireland, of the hardships endured by every body but the large landholders and of the long time it took even to earn his passage to America
 He said that when he came here he had nothing in the world. "Now," said he, q have a Brussels carpet on my sleeping room and mahogany set. have the luxuries en- joyed by the average workingman of the country. Some say to me: "Do you know the tariff is tax! That you are being rob- bedl' fsIf am being robbed, !" said he, '1 want to be robbed in this way, for it gives me what princes alone have in Ireland"
 He then went on to illustrate how the seat and source of free trade was among the Southerners and read from Art. I, section of the confederate constitution, where it says that no taxes or duties shall be placed on any imported goods to protect the American productions. He also quoted speech of Alexander H. Stephens, vice president of the confederaey, in which he said that free trade should be the policy of the Rebel States. "And, ]" said Mir. Sullivan, "did you ever see @ Rebel that wasn't Democrat They are the body of the Democratic party"
 MT. Sullivan's address was most enthusi- astically greeted by those there.
 Alderman Frank c. Bushnell was then called upon for a few facts relating to sugar. In his usual happy vein of wit and argument the genial alderman easily overthrow some of Governor Hills statements here last Satur- day night about sugar, and said the Rspubf- can party were very fortunate not to have been in power while the sugar trust lasts, for they would surely have been blamed for 1t by the Democrats. He said the merchants of New Haven were paying $650 every day into the trust and the price of sugar was higher than for many years before. The meeting as usual adjourned at 12;45. Meet ings will be held every day at noon till cleo tion.
