 parade and rally last night They par aded from their club rooms on Water street headed by the drum corps and German band of Waterbury, which played well. In the opera house Jo- seph Barbour. the story teller, greeted the large audience and received many compliments for his speech from the republicans present. MT Barbour was introduced by William Ward. who was president of the meeting. He began by telling why more than 15O demo- .crats who voted for Cleveland in 1892 refused to vote for Bryan in 1896, and why Mckinley came so near carrying Nauga tuck. In 1892, he said. the vote in the Rubber city was 527 for Harri- son and 772 for Cleveland. In 1896 it was 945 for Mckinley and 995 for Bryan. His first reference to prosper ity and opening mills was greeted with laughter from the rear of the hall. ''Well,' he said, "I don't know any thing about your conditions here in Naugatuck: but if misfortune has over taken you, it is probably Q special dis penSation on you for being one of the two towns in Connecticut to vote for Bryan in 1S96." When Mr Barbour had finished his speech many republi- cans crowded to the stage to shake his hand. During the evening the re- publican glee club sang campaign songs, which seemed to please the au- dience.
