 Lay Down Some Republican Doctrine | What Has James F. Pigott Done for tho
 second Congregational District?
 The final and most successful repub- iican rally of the camp .ar was held at the Hyperion theata .. t Saturday evening The big theater was packed from top to bottom 1t being estimated that there were fully 3,50O people In the building Enthusiasm was not lack- ing, either. and when the name of Mir. Sperry was mentioned the whole audi- ence cheered as one man.
 The meeting was preceded by street parade, which was by far the largest and most enthusiastic which has been held in the city this fall. The proces, sion was formed in front of the YounA Mems Republican club house on Grown street at o'clock, and at 7:So began its line of march, which was down Crown street to Church street, thence to Chap. el street. down Chapel to State, theAcs through State to Elm and back to Church, thence through Church to Chapel and up Chapel to the Hyperion theater, where the parade was dIs- missed.
 There were several bands in the pas rade, and the line of march was bril. liantly illuminated with red fire and other fireworks.
 The Hyperion was very prettily dec- orated. On the boxes were hung large portraits of Lincoln, Garfield, Grant and Harrison. On the stage was a proA fusion of palms and flowers.
 The meeting was called to order bN Chairman Macdonald of the republican town committee after the band had ren- dered patriotic selection under the efficient leadership of Frank Fichtl,
 In introducing the chairman of the meeting MT. Macdonald spoke in the main as follows: @
 There was very wealthy man in q ne1ghboring city who counted his wealth by the millions, who was once waited on by committee who informed him that he had been elected president of an orphan asylum. He thought mo- ment and then asked the committee what was the salary of the office to which he had been elected. They re- piled that the services of the president of the orphan asylum had always been gratuitous, as 1t was a work of charity for the poor orphans. We'll replied Croesusy I can't accept it.
 Now gentlemen, that Is the answer that many men give if they are asked to take position which they have the leisure to attend to, which may be of considerable benefit and importance to the community, but to which no money consideration is attached.
 We have one with us here tonight, however, one who stands out in marked contrast to such men-a man who gives his services to the city gratuitously, a staunch republican, a man of honesty and integrity. I have the great pleas. ure of introducing to you MT. Henry T. Blake as chairman of this meeting" l MT. Blake was received with ap- plause. He said: 'T am not surprised at this magnificent audience. This morning was afraid the rain might keep you away although I knew it would not dampen the ardor of this meeting. Next Tuesday regular cy- clone is going to sweep down on tha democratic party from Maine to Louisi- ana. should not be surprised If that party was visited with the greatest devastation it has ever experienced, al. | though judging from the family rows ! that are going on in the democratic household there will not be much of 1t left to be destroyed. "The wiles and blandishments of the democratic party, which two years ago enticed the people of the country to destruction, have played out. Little Bo-Peep may have lost her sheep, but the sheep are coming back and bring ing other sheep with them who will ! never again mistake the detnocratio l wolf for a shepherd. ., But will not go into the issues at stake in this campaign. Other more eminent speakers will do that later. welcome you to this last rally of the campaign, and I invite you all to tha final great struggle at the polls next Tuesday. Let every man be there." '+ He then introduced ex-Congressmar Kellogg of Waterbury as the first speak, CT of, the evening" MT. Kellogg spoke in the main as follows: ~ II did not expect to make speeches in this campaign, for think I am about old enough to be on the retired list But told MT. Sperry that if I could do him any good, or he thought could do him any good, would gladly do my share And that's why am here to. night. .@
 "Now want to commend the gentle- men on the state ticket. They are clean, honest, upright and reputable men. K has always been the good fortune of Connecticut to have good governors, no matter from what party they have come. Look at such, men as James N English, Hobart B. Bigelow. Charles R. Ingersoll, Henry E. Harrison. And there is one who ought to have been, and would have been insthe governors chair four years ago if the democrats had done their constitutional duty. refer to that staunch republican, General Samuel B. Merwin.
 And this state ticket we have nomi, mated is going to be elected. There is not going to be any deadlock The sucS cess of the republican party is the only way to stop the war that Is being made on our industries.
