 A very enthusiastic republican rally was held at the Memorial hall in North Haven. last evening, which was largely attended. by the residents of the town. General D. D. 8. Goodyear was the presiding officer of the meet ing. He introduced Senator Hawley, who was the principal speaker of the evening In his speech. which was of two hours duration. he fully reviewed the political situation and arraigned the democratic party for the stand they had taken in the Nicaragua canal matter. and the Samoan and Hawaiian difficulties. "There was no use." he said, "of the democratic party making such haste to repeal the Sherman bill. What they ought to have done was to have taken up the tariff question i'm mediately. Now MT. Wilson, the framer of the bill that was finally passed, was not qualified to draw up bill of that sort. He knew nothing about a New England community: He Is a man of books. doctrinaire. a college professor. His wisdom Is aca demic, not practical. Jones of Arkan- sas. Vest of Missouri and Mills Of Texas. who also were on the committee theorists. devoted great deal of attention to getting the income tax taken off from the dividends from de- posits in our savings banks. There are $13S. O.00O deposited in our savings banks in this state, the average deposit being s292. The democrats proposed to put per cent. tax on this, which would have yielded $106,0oo to the United States government. They also wanted to tax the building and loan associations. And we had to elabor-. ately explain to them that such asso- ciations had no dividends.

 "The thing for you all to do Is to us your influence and votes toward sending MT. Sperry to Washington"
 After a song we'll sung by the North Haven Glee club. Arthur Mclean of Ansonia made a rousing republican speech, in whichs he said that the werkihgmen of the Naugatuck valley were going to send Q petition to con- gress, which wears boots. It was Of about N. D. Sperry's size. ;.
 The last speech of the evening was made by Attorney Edward L. Lansley of North Haven. He speoke in part as follows: %'
 "Out in that part of the state of Ohio where the religious sect called Dun- kards live 1t is the custom for the min ister to get up and open the Bible at random and read the first verse on which his eye rests and to continue reading 1t until the spirit moves him to preach. An old preacher once opened to the second chapter of the Song of Solomon, where 1t says And the voice of the turtle was heard in the land." He read it again and still the inspira- ton did not come. He read 1t a third time, and then the light broke in upon him. He said: "All scripture is given to us for doctrine. In this case there is one fundamental doctrine of our faith. We can almost see the turtle summing himself upon log. Someone comes along. Splash! He is in the water. Now that is baptism.
 "It is in just about this way that the democratic free trader invents theories out of mere nothings and twists facts to their own purposes. There Is a great contest between the republican and dmocratic parties, One or the other. must win, and am republican. They used to try and tell ones future in olden times by the stars in the ascend ant at your birth. On that Sunday night in 1857 when first opened my eyes to the world in wonder house there must have been republican star in the ascendant. Fifteen days later my father religiously voted the republican ticket, and it was at that election that Buckingham was elected governor of Connecticut and Beach representative from North Haven.

 T we'll remember the story told by Rev. Dr. Phillips of New Haven at this Memorial hall two years ago. He told of an experience meeting in which one brother arose and said that he was going on the heavenly course in a full rigged sailing vessel. The next brother asserted that he was on the same course. only he was on a twin-screw steamer. An old lady then arose and said she had been on the heavenly road forty years and that she had walked that line to the end. It took blood to do it. Your brothers and your kin shed their blood to preserve the principles which the republican party has always upheld, The republican party has re- constructed the south and paid the greater part of the national debA \

 Now the democratic party is on the twin-screw steamer not a steamer made in Maine or at Philadelphia, but from the River Clyde Of Eneland and run with coal from Nova ecotta and it is this steamer whose boiler bust
