 Plea to the People of Waterbury.
 The Hon J. c. Monaghan of Provi- dence addressed the democrats at City hall last evening. His audience might have been larger, but through some in an appearance. The Hon John O'Neil presided and introduced the speaker of the evening.
 MT Monaghan began his remarks by saying that he was pleased to see so many young men present, and advised them to read both sides, and hear dis cussed both sides of the great political questions of the day. "Our highest duty" he said, ''is to support our candidates. We have something higher than the question of dollars and cents or | tariff. We have our liberties and the | fundamental principles of free rights. | No state is more involved than is Con- | necticut, where the republicans have | stolen your whole state government. You must all work to rid the state of the infamous system by which it is governed.
 great men were never with the demo- cratic party, but long before the re- publican party was formed Thomas Jefferson was buying land, and Jack son, Madison and Monroe were building up the nation. In the cabinet of Wash ington there were two men, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton believed in a government for and by the classes. Jefferson, a Hamilton was with the bankers and moneyed men. The republican party never lacked for men who were schemers. We are American citizens first, before we are partisans, and we should read both sides of the political question. Hamilton's idea was to establish a monarchy and Jefferson's, the highest principles for a government of the people,"
 The speaker quoted from speech de- livered by Chauncey M. Depew in eulogy of Grover Cleveland, in which 1.-the famous after dinner orator said that Cleveland was man of courage and of conviction in everything. "Do yon wonder then, that we want to elect such man. The republicans say the young men are joining their party, but let me tell you the young men are forming the phalanx of Massachusetts democracy"
 In calling attention to state issues the speaker said that Messrs Morris, Phelan and Pigott and the other candi- dates, were men worthy of support. He said he understood the difficulties in this state and the only way to get rid of the infamous laws is to elect democratic officers and a democratic legislature "You must not rest until you have elected Cleveland, Morris, Pigott and all your candidates. Go in to wipe out those unfair borough and majority laws"
 "The republicans say we favor free trade. It is a physical lmpossibility No nation has free trade. In England the custom house authorities will mee you and see that you must pay duty or articles upon which there is an unjust tax"
 Considerable time was devoted tt showing the absurdities of the Mckinley bill and how it helped protected million aires. Before the war there were foul millioniares and if you had 1O,OO( fingers you could not count the million aires of the present day.
 MT Monaghan concluded his remark by saying that the American peopl, were too intelligent to be deceived mucl longer, and paid a handsome tribute tx :, our countay and it's flag.
