Italian and German Democrats Hold
 Mass Meetlngs.
 The democrats held two enthusiastic rallies yesterday. One was in St Patrick's hall. which was filled with representative Italian voters. D. Trotta. as chairman, made splendid address and introduced Editor Rovers of the Italian American of New York His address was one of the finest pieces of oratory heard in the city. Henry M Garfield of Southbury, candi- date for representative from his town. agreeably surprised the Italians present by his Italian address. He received an en- thusiastic encore. Speeches were also made by Mayor E. G. Kilduff and w. E. 1homs In the evening the Germans Grelle presided as chairman. Henry NJ. Garfield again distinguished himself by German address. The stage was filled with representative democrats. Addresses were made by John l.. Sake. Mayor E. G. Kilduff, Judge R. A. Lowe, 0. 0. Commer- ford, W. E. Thoms and E. L. Maloney. It was an enthusiastic audience and the addresses were able ones.
 THE PoPULIsTs RALLY.
 There was a good attendance at the populist rally in City hall yesterday after room John Buttomer called the meeting to order and introduced George A. Sweet man of Bristol. who made an interesting address. He was followed by F. W. Rich ards of Wallingford, in what appeared to be carefully pre- eoared essay. Then H. c. Baldwin was called and treated the au- dience to a spirited address on the money question as viewed from his standpoint. Mir Baldwin seemed to be engaged in an effort to amuse rather than instruct his audience. He said MT Pigott was reported as saying that gold is valuable because of its intrinsic value. Nothing" said Mir Baldwin, "has intrinsic value. Suppose Mir Pigott and MT Sperry should be strand | ei on some desolate island, and I don't mean to say that it would not be a good thing for the people if they were. and they could not find anything to eat there. Mir Pigott happened to find a can of gold and | Mir Sperry succeeded in discovering a piece of pork. Now was Mir Sperry's pork worth more at that time than the can of gold" This brought out deafening ap- plause. Mir Baldwin said that when such a man as Lyman B. Trumbull comes out and declares that he could not keep his breast clean and belong to the republican party. it was time for workingmen to con- sider what they were doing before voting | that ticket. He also cited the remarks of General John B. Jones, a prominent re- publican, who has deserted his party, giving as his reasons that it has been un- faithful to the interest of the masses, having sold out the interest of the people to the representatives of a bloodthirsty plutocracy.
