 A big Republican rally was held in Cen tral hall, Fair Haven, last night. It was 6 rousing affair, and was conducted by the committee of the Eleventh ward. There was large attendance and the meeting was one of great interest to those present. Addresses were made by Herbert E. Benton, clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, and by Frank D. Payey, both of whom presented the great political questions of the day in their true light.
 Alderman Frank s. Hamilton presided over the meeting in an able manner, and intro duced the first speaker of the evening, Mr. Pavey of New Haven. Mr. Pavey is making quite an enviable record as 2 campaign ! speaker, and gave his hearers some solid facts | in relation to the tariff. Mir. Pavey ably ex- posed the fallacies of the doctrine of free | trade and the benefcient results that follow
 in the train of protection. He read extracts from the platforms of the two political parties and drew his deductions therefrom in a clear and concsie way. He said that President Cleveland in his latest annual message had put forth his objections ! to 8 protective system, and that he was really free trader to the very core who was | fearfully nisrepresentinR things. Henry George favored President Cleveland, MT. Pa vey said. because if the protection principle
 was swept away it would be the easiest fol | him to get his law theory adopted.
 ssIn this campaign" he continued, "the Democratic orators tell the people that they
 do not mean free trade. The man wht a hypoerite.Y (Applause.)
 Chairman Hamilton here introduced Mir \ Benton, who said hewas no party worshippel but claimed for his party, taking its reeord | as whole, that it was well calculated tc command the confidence of the people, par ticalarlyin the emergency that is now before us.
 "Proud as am of the record of our party continued MT. Benton, q shall do what car to aid in the election of our candidate. Ibe- lieye that it is for the best interests Of the people that our candidates shall be elected- l not because they are Republicans, but be- cause they stand for principles whose per- petuaGion are for the welfare of the Ameri- can people. It is important that as individ uals we should look on the campaign on busi ness principles. TWeaty-fOur years ago the f Democrats decIared the var failure. Now in this campaign tine Democrats declare that the principle which has made the country proeperous is a failure. But I believe that she people will stand by the party which champions protection.
 This doctrine began with the history oi | the country. This question early became sectional one. South of Mason and Dixon'e | line the people favored free trade and north of that line the feeling was in favor of pro | tection. When our southern friends estab k rI,o rE haSp kHo EVsa clause specified that sno tax should be laid or
 foreign imports for the protection of homo \ industries.'
 f srWe now have President, who, for tn. first time, is sending to Congress message ! aimed solely as an argument against the pro
 tection principle. They may qnibble abou the Mills bill as much as they please, but i | still remains true that the party is agressivel, committed against protection.
 "Four years of revenue reform would b. enough to satisfy the people, but they aren' going to take it just yet Now just one wort | about the surplus. It is Q fact that we hay, a surplus of $110, ,000, ,000 or $120, GOO, 900 The government owes funded debt of l billion dollars. If Uncle Sam followed tn principle of a business man, he would us this money for taking up the bonds. Ther
 is need of this money also for the coast de lenses. But the Democrats will not use tn
 surplus for these purposes, because they wan
 she surplus to hold up as bugbear befor the people.
 l "in 1856 the Democrats called attention t, ! the surplus and they lowered the tariff. Al | a result the balance of trade set against ul and within three years we found Uncle San | going on the foreign market, his surplul gone, and trying to borrow money at 12 pea cent. to pay his current expenses." Mir. Benton at the close of his speech wal | greeted with warm applause.
 The Young Republican Glee club was ex pected to be present but failed to put in ar | appearance for some reason or other. The rally was an enthusiastic one and ! very successful affair.
