Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-11-04
LAST NIGMrss RALLY.
Great Enthusiasm Manifested all
 Along the Liuc.


 That the democrats of Waterbury know how to celebrate was clearly de- monstrated last night. As early as o'clock the people from all parts of the city were flocking in large numbers to the City hall and long before the en- trance of the speakers the hall was pack ed to its fullest capacity. It was a characteristic assemblage and surpassed auy gathering of a similar kind ever seen in Waterbury. Seats had been provided for about 100 people on the stage while in the rear was placed the Ameri- can band. Promptly at s o'clock Sheriff J, w Mcdonald started down the aisle toward the stage followed by ex-Gt yer nor Thomas NJ Waller and Maurice F. Holohau, Mayor c. R Baldwin and the members of the committee. IL was the sIgnal for tumuituous burst of ap- plause.
 John l.. Sake asked that those who re- ceived invitations come forward to the stage. Charles G. Root, nominee for | representative and chairman of demo cratic town committee, opened the eXer- cises with few remarks complimentary to the voters who had so gt nerously responded to the committees invitation to make this rally the greatest ever held in Waterbury. He then introduced | Mayor C. R. Baldwin. who was greated | were brief, but to the point. When we get control of the legislature, which we | ill to morrow, my first duty will be to see that a bill is passed whereby the polls will be opened early in the morning and kept open until 10 or II o'clock at night. We would have so many demo- crats that repul lican coUfl not be found within 100 miles of Waterbury. You all know 1 am a good hater and a good lover, but there is no man on Gods earth I could hate if his name were on the democratic ticket.
 Mayor Baldwin then introduced Maurice F. HolOhan, who spoke of his present illness and said that it was against the
 wishes of his physician he was in Wa
 terbury. "But," he went cn, Eff my
 efforts tonight will serve to solidify the
 democracy in Connecticut, 1 will be
 satisfied on Wednesday morning to be
 enrolled on the sick list and take my
 medicine like simon pure democrat" He spoke of the importance of this cleo
 ton and said there was not a democrat from Atlantic to Pacific from the Gulf
 stream to the lakes who had not his
 sleeves rolled up ready for the fray. His mention of Governor David B. Hill
 and his work in the west. returning
 with the scalp of Major Mckinley hang. " ing to his belt created the widest enthu
 siasm. The greatest mistake, the speak , CT said, that the democrats ever made, was not insisting on the seating
 of Samuel J. Tildcn in 1S7T
 The force bill and tariff came in for (
 clear and convincing argument as tC their perniciousness. A long list of ar = ticles were read giving prices before anC after the Mckinley bill. A letter which
 was sent by the republican town com mittee to the voters in Waterbury wa
 read and before the speaker concluded j n was picked to pieces and made to appea r one of the most foolish documents eve | sent out. Mir Holohan closed his aCldres by referring to the local election. H. a said: If the republican sheriff is elected in this district and Waterbury is tn f cause you will never hear my voice il > Waterbury again" He closed his ad y dress with a strong appeal to his ol l. schoolmates and friends. Great applau a greeted his speech.
 Mayor Baldwin then introduced ex Governor Thomas NJ. Waller. It wa
 some moments before Governor Walle Il could begin his speech because of tn e wild enthusiasm his appearance at tn Il front created. His speech was character if istic of the man, and intermingled wit !, humor and facts formed a bulwark O .- evidence against republican principle d which would be difficult to surmount n The tariff and the Mckinley bill came il
 
 it There was not person present wh 8 does not to, day know the just and tfl
 definition of the tariff and the McKinfe
 bill. Governor Waller handled his sut
 lect with that ever ready wit which Ina ie earned for him the world wide reputa tion of the little giant orator of the Nut z meg state. He closed his address wit 't one of the best of arguments why demo u crats shauld not bolt their tlcket to-day
 lot lnna fxpsi,., t instrumental in causing defeat. lov M III her too much to ever hear such a thing. y It was many minutes before Mayo =, Baldwin could command sufficieu " silence to call for three cheers for tn ,t two speakers, which were given with will. Governor Waller then stepped t ,r l the front and called for three nor IF cheers for Luzon B. Morris and tn n whole democratic ticket, which wer .a also given with a hearty will. The a, n semblage then dispersed. Outside tn r hall the street was ablaze wit = red fire and into the waiting carriage if piled Governor Waller, Mir Holohar al the members of the committee and tn ,e invited guests. With two bands one
 front and the other in the rear th a parade started. All along the line ( I march the sky was lit up with flyin ,f rockets and bonf1rcs, and cheer aftt sr cheer rent the air as the two speaker I were recognized by the people. It wa d such a celebration as would make a la to ger city envious. The line of march { 's given in yesterdays DEMOCRAT wa e, carried out and it was after 12 when tl er parade arrived in front of the City hal Te Here Governor Waller with a few col II cluding remarks bade the people goo m night advising them to be on hand earl
 in the morning.
