ONE THOUSAND. STRONG.
GREAT RALLY OF YOUNG REPUBLI-
 CANS LAST NIGHT.

Housing DemonstratiOn-Many Spirited
 and Eloquent Addresses Music and Song | A Notable Occasion.
 No more enthusiastic meeting has
 been held in New Haven in many years
 than the large rally at the Lincoln
 memorial banquet in Banquet hall last
 evening. Nearly 1000 men were pres
 ent and the long tables ranged across
 the hall were occupied by ardent sup
 porters of the party, which Lincoln | helped to build. The tables were loaded with tempting viands and when the tur-
 moil of the battle on them had abated,
 the dilapidated appearance of what
 had been well filled dishes showed
 that ample justice had been done the feast.
 The opening song, "A Thousand
 Strong Tonight" written by William | Edward Penney of this city, was sung forth from the hundreds 9of threats | to the stirring tune of "Auld Lang | Syne"
 Professor George D. Watrous, who was to speak on Origin and Early Struggle of Our Club" was i'll and
 unable to be present. Attorney J. F. Goodhart, however, went over the his tory of the club, telling how 1t was
 organized at time which would cause it's remembrance to be carried down through history in connection with James G. Blaine. The enthusiastic campaign of 1884 gave birth to the club. The birth of the club was the result of inspiration and belief that
 the principles of the republican party
 were born to live. Mir Goodhart then touched on other facts in the history of the club and concluded with the
 wish that its prosperity might con
 tinue to increase.
 "A Young Republican" was responded
 to by Jacob Ullman, who said that
 although the time was when it was
 thought that a man must be gray
 haired and wrinkled before he could be recognized in politics, yet 1t is now realized that the young men and their work are a great factor to take into consideration for the success of party principles. Those who are earnest and steadfast in principle are the men who are honored by their fellows and this is proved by the election of our present mayor.
 Frederick s. Perry, secretary of the club in this city, spoke of "The Club To-day" and attributed it's prosperity at present to a great extent due to the efforts of President Farnsworth He spoke of the need of quarters which would accommodate the growing num- bers of the club and said that plans are now on foot to consummate this.
 "The Future of the Club" was dis cussed by Richard H. Tyner, who | prophesied that the. influence of the | club will keep good government in Connecticut, prosperity in New Haven 1 and promote a better condition of the 1 people. @7
 When Mayor Hendrick rose to re- spond to Our City" he was greeted | with tumultuous applause, and at 1 suggestion three rousing cheers were | given for him. He said that if he had | been elected with the idea that he | would be speechnaker 1t was grand | mistake, yet it afforded him pleasure | to meet with the friends of the Young | Mems Republican club, and to con graduate them on their work in the | past and the promise for the future. He was glad to say something for New Haven, the city in which he had been reared. He was proud of this noble City of Films, of it's old institution of | learning, Yale university, of the churches, the old green with it's his toric "reminiscences, and of our great | industries. He hoped the future of the city would be even more prosperous than the past.
 Rev Dr. Newman Smyth very appro- priately spoke on Good Citizenship" He said that he cast his first ballot before Petersburg, Va, for Abraham Lincoln, of which he was extremely proud. He did not think any other party in the city could get together such fine body of intelligent young men, solid for good government. If ever he lost temper it was not with a politician hungry for spoil, but with the man who is indifferent to and knows little of what is going on in politics or anything else, and yet says the country is going to the dogs. If such men would take an interest in public affairs there would be less occasion to talk about the evils in our government.
 Political Economy as Taught in Our was described by w. A. Granville an instructor in the Shef- field Scientific school. He claimed that there was no political preference in the way the subject was treated in college, and advised that the more this is taught the better it will be for the country
 James H. Macdonald chairman of the republican town committee, gave a pointed talk on "The Results of Prac- tical Politics." MT. Macdonald said that some men came into politics to gratify ambition, but the members of the Young Mems Republican club came l In because they believe in principle and the success of the grand old party. / There is no better illustration of the value of practical politics than the T splendid organization of the young re- oublicans of this city with their heroic work, valuable service and great help 10 the republican party of Connecticut. There may be some republican clubs in the United States with more members, put no other club beats New Haven in f ts usefulness and practical work. It was formerly the custom to define the word practical as money; it now means york and orpanization When he was I
