TYPOTHETlE HANOUET.
Seventh Annual Held in This City Last
Night.

| Night.
The banquet Of the Connecticut Typo
thetae held at the Republican league
last night was one of the most success
full in the history of the organization
and it is seldom that those who are
gathered about a banquet table are
treated to such a flow of eloquence az
We're those who were present last night
1t was the eleventh annual. The mem.
bers of the organization and their in.
vlted friends, about forty, sat down tc
the magnificent spread about o'clock
The speakers and guests were seated al
the head table, while the others occu-
pied seats at a long table which
stretched through the reception rooms
and the private dining room. The din
ner was concluded shortly before
o'clock, and the presiding officer, Will
liam I'll. Marigold, postmaster of Bridge
port, made a few opening remarks be-
fore introducing the first speaker, May
or f. B. Farnsworth. The mayor spoke
on the toast, "How to be Happy,
| Though Mayor"
Unfortunately Governor George e.
Lounsbury was unable to be present
| because of sickness in his family. He
sent his regrets.
The POSTMASTER called upon George
III. Ellis of Boston to speak in place of
the governor. Mr. Ellis is the first vice
president of the National association,
and made a splendid speech at the
meeting of the Connecticut association
last year. He last night advanced the
eight hour system and gave many
striking examples which proved to him
that the eight hour system was newt
able and must sooner or later be adopt
ed by all persons in the United States
that employ any day laborers.
THE Typothetae in 1892 was the
subject Of the toast assigned to Wilson
II. Lee of this city. Mr. Lee, who is an
enthusiast In typothetae matters told of
the coming meeting of the National as
ISOLATION, which will be held in this
city probably during the first week in
October next He said that the COM
mittee of the state association that had
been given charge of arranging for the
entertainment of the delegates had been
most cordially received by all those
whom they had approached on the mat
ter. An informal programme has thus
far been arranged. On the first day 1t
is proposed TO have reception in the
Yale Art school, on the second day
there will be shore dinner and car
riage ride and that western members
will be given a chance to try their
hands at opening clans. On the third
day there will be visit to Holyoke and
a trip through the great paper mills of
that city. Hartford may also be visit
ed This meeting will bring represen-
tative men to this city and it will mean
more to New Haveners than they real
ize at present ~"
In response to the toast THE Printer
and the Publisher Frederick Nj. Ryder
of this city rather took the side of the
D, inter in that he Thought that the
eight-hour system was the proper one
and that under ii NOR, WORK could be
got out Of the men than in any other
way He said that all shops nat haVa
thus TAR adopted 1T are hearty in their
support of it and declare that 1t is Very
satisfactory.
Rev. DR., Phillips, pastor of the
Church of the Redeener, on being in
troduced, said that he supposed that he
was to speak on national affairs when
his subject was announc as Prospect
and Retrospect" He said that it was
always a difficult thing to look ahead.
that there was always an element of
uncertainty to men of courage and am
bitlon. The restrospect is not always
pleasant AS ia the restrospect in ma Il
tional affairs DR.. Phillips said that we
had little to regret. We have shown
the power and the patriotism of this
great republic. What is there in the
record of any nation greater than the
record Of our forbearance of the Span
ish right at our very doors? What Is
there in the record of any people greater
than the diplomacy with which we
tried to avert the war, the splendid
control of the popular feeling shown
after the Maine incident? Where is
there a picture more inspiring than the
one which people painted in the recent
struggle? With the army and navy
sneered at, in a few weeks the ranks :
were filed and victorious army put
into the field. They accomplished wonder
full achievements that will live in his
tory. There is no need for regret or
bushes. We have become a power in
the world The people are prepared
to assume the dignity and responsibility
of nation tested in the worlds arena.
We are a power to be reckoned with /
and numbered among those working out
the problem Of modern civilization. In |
regard to the present the speaker said |
that the American editors We're deserv-
ing of very great praise for giving to .
the people the news and discussing
questions which were Of vital interest
to all true Americans. All Americans
are becoming patriots and anglomani-
acs We're fast being disposed of. They
are all coming to the conclusion that
they don't want to go anywhere that
America is good enough for them. There
Is a prospect for pleasing future. We
will get rid of the clamor of those who
are now SO very solicitous about prece-
dent and all anti-eXpansionists who
prophecy such awful catastrophes.
There is a prospect of work and we
nave the ability. We have the courage,
the wisdom and the broad statesman
ship which will cope with the problems.
There Is in the American people a clear
