Hon. E. 8. Day, chairman of the State
central committee, made an eloquent speech
at the recent Republican Aag-raisinR at P.
and F. COrbin's, New Britain. He showed
the superior advantages Of protection-hoU
it had founded industries of which New
Britain was such a shining example. Mr..
Lyman s. Burr, candidate for judge of pro-
bate, also spoke. The meeting was one Of
the most enthusiastic in years. Mr.. Philip
Corbin presided and introduced the speakers
calling for cheers for the old Gag. They
were given most enthusiastically, and the
city band played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The preceding parade was interesting,
consisting of the Young Mems club and the
Swedish Harrison and Morton club. Spec
tators lined the walks, and colored fire was
burned in profusion. The escort to the
speaker, to Mr.. Philip Corbin, Mr.. Andrew
Corbin and Mr.. John Spring, in carriages,
was by bows with torches and small battle
axes-an effective display.
Hartford cOlored Republicans had grand
rally Friday night. Many white Republi-
cans attended; also the Simonds Engineer
corps were present. P. q. Mills called the
meeting to order and announced officers as
follows: President, J. F. Braam; vice pres
idsnts, Ralph Mitchell, Bryant w. Lee, T..
G. Seymour, w. Fl. Conover, Samuel James,
George Griffin, F. o. Cross. P. d. Mills, Dan
ries, w. 81. Mitchell and w. B. Shiloh.
President Braam in introducing Mr.. E. 8.
Fleming of Georgia, urged his hear
ers to sustain the party that
had done SO much for them.
Mr.. Fleming made an eloquent app
peal, showing clearly that the co1ored people
of the North could not be shaken from their
allegiance to the Republican party, even If
they were continually driven from the ballot
box, as there is no concealment that they
are now. Votes are thrown out unsorupu-
lousy in McDuf6e county, Ga, where
though there were in 1871 seven eolored men
to one white only three votes were returned
for Garfield. And the white Republican is
as much in danger as the colored. He show
ed how President Cleveland akulked at home
during the war, experience that
protection was simply the retention
of home markets and showed what
approximate free trade had done in times
gone by. He affirmed that Mr. Grady of the
Atlanta Constitution had taken Mrs Nc
Dougall of the New York Witness to the low
est celored slums as q representative district.
He said that southern Democrats placed
Irishmen in the lowest social grade and yet
these men voted the Democratic ticket. His
perOration was brilliant President Braam
spoke strong words in behalf Of the Republi-
can candidates. It was a routing meeting.
