 The largest democratic rally of this campaign was held ia the opera house last night. The rally opened at S:15, after short parade from the Commer- cial house to the hall. In the hall the drum corps played catchy melody and received much applause. Judge Ben ton was chairman and in q few re- marks introduced Oliver GiIdersleeve of Portland, candidate for congress from this district. Mir Gildersleeve arose and addressed the chairman and audience: .'The day before the con greSsional convention was held in Mid dletOwn, I was asked if 1 would ac- cept the nomination. This was the first time it was mentioned to me. It came as a surprise and 1 was called the new man in politics. He said he never ran for an office, nor was he ever looking for one MT Glider sleeve asked for the support of every democrat and said if he was elected he would look to the interests of every one in this district. Mir Gildersleeye spoke of the large standing army the United States now has and said it was a great strain on the poor people, be sides a menace to institutions. He closed his speech by thanking aii for their kind attention and took his seat amid much applause. Chairman Ben ton then introduced Dr William A. Crofut who started his speech thusly: 'NIr Chairman Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens: Ever since have been man have been a repub- lican. I lost my vote because I was on the stump in Maryland ill '96 for Mckinley. Mr Crofut spoke in regard to the Sulu Islands and how General Bates told the sultan that he must fly the American flag to be pro tected. Mckinley told the sultan all that he had to do was just as he pleased and receive for it S25O a month. He then caught the audience by saying that there was 2 Smith can vaSSing this state for Mckinley and that he is the postmaster-gener AIr Crofut said Smith spoke in New IIa- ven q few nights ago and called Me Kinley the Moses of this adminiStra- tion." Why Moses? Because coming to the mountain of destiny he broke the ten commandments all at once. and arriving at the bottom he saw the golden calf of NaI1 street. "Oh. Mr Smith made it lively in New Haven. Great applauseD Mr Smith further said that the republican party could take care Of the trusts. I understand that man has been here saying the same thing. but I live opposite the senate chamber in Washington and have things handy" NIr Crofut stat ed that this Smith said if Bryan was elected our international credit would be nullifcd by the adoption of the sil- yer standard. and one year ago there were two hundred millions of silver dollars in the treasury. Up to Septcm- her 1 it was all paid cut but twelve millions. Mir Crofut said: ''Why. there would not be enough silver to last MT Bryan the first forenoon This brought forth much applause, The speaker then came back to Smith. who he said spoke about the full din ner pail. Crofut said: But did he say anything about the empty coal hod? CTerrific applause) Didn't Rob- ert Emmet have a full dinner pail? MT Bryan don't take much interest in the full dinner pail. but wants every man to eat with his own family" Ap- plauseD
 Mir Crofut was very sarcastic in his remarks and said that if Smith stayed home in Washington there would have been fewer mail robberies and less mail destroyed in the west. Smith and Sperry are two of a kind.' Fol lowing Mir Crofut. the Hen John A Tomlinson of Alabama addressed the meeting.

In the first half there was much bunting by both teams Yale was great deal heavier than Naugatuck and during this half push ed the home boys to within four yards of their goal, but held Yale for downs. therefore they lost the ball.
