 That held in the fifth ward at Alder man FoIey's residence was the best and most cheerful that was every held in the city. There must have been A.5oO people at least in the crowd. The rallies started at North square, from Ahere to the east end, near the engine house and thence to the fifth ward. The speakers were Mayor Kfldun, At &orney Guilfoile, Candidate for Tax Collector Attorney H. W. Minor, At torney Marcus and Mir Lynch the can sdidafe for mayor. The Sacred Heart drum corps was in attendance and right rnerrily did their work. Coming from North square to the east end they started up Harvard" and set every small boy on the route whistling and dancing Such waving of handker- chiefs and other indications of a Ihearty welcome was never seen in political campaign in this city. By- Ierybpdy had a hearty word for Mir Lynch and his supporters, and near Walnut street crowd of young ladies threw a bunch of flowers at the hack conveying the party of speakers. It was a merry and an inspiring sight all the way from North square to the east end and from that point to the fifth ward Iii, drum corps dispelled thoughts of the threatening rain some what, and the small boys kept every one guessing what would happen next.
 The crowd at North square was somewhat tired waiting for the speak ing to begin. The opening was billed for 7:30 o'clock, but it was after 8 when the first sounds of the drum corps were heard approaching. Some one rolled an empty buggy into the middle of the crowd and this served as the platform from which the speak CTS spoke.
 Mayor Kilduff opened the exercises. He said that during his twenty five years of political life he never gave a candidate his support So heartily as inc did Mir Lynch. Without fear or favor of any man, whether he owned one million dollars or owed one mil lion, he would advise everybody to vote for MT Lynch. All he, the speak CT, had in this world is situated right here in the city of Waterbury Every stick and stone to his name, every thing that he owns, is here. He was not large property owner, he paid .aais few hundred dollars taxes, how ever. He was a party man to the backbone and he loved and always worked for his party. But dear to him as his party, dear as was the sue cess of that party. hard as he always worked for it, and hard as he always would work for it and for its candi- dates, he loved his family still dearer. { And he would not let harm come to them. Why, then, should he be afraid to vote and to work for MT Lynch? He knew MT Lynch very well and he could say from the bottom of his heart that he espoused his candi- dacy heartily and sincerely. Anyone who had an idea that MT Lynch would burn up the city or run away with or harm it in any way is grossly mistaken It was to A1r Lynch's interests as well as to the interests of every taxpayer in the city that he should give a wise and economical administration. He is l himself taxpayer and property owner. Why then, should he do other wise but what was good for the city.
 tsTake this home with you this even. ing and think we'll of it." said Mayor Kf1duff. "that a young man who has risen from the case in a printers office fo an honorable profession, man who worked ten hard hours each day and worked three and four and sometimes five hours in the night until he passed from the printing office to the profes- sion of law. must be a man of ambi- tfon, a man of stamina, honesty and honor, and such a man will give you nothing but capable and honest ad lminfstration if elected" Mayor Xii. duff then said few words for the other candidates, MT Minor, MT Nc. Donald. the city sheriff. Mir Russell candidate for comptroller, and MI Ryan. candidate for city clerk, and introduced MT Lynch.
 It was some minutes before the cheering ceased and then MT Lynch began: q do not want any man tc 1 vote for me next Monday on any prin. cfple or pretext or reason only that l am the standard bearer of the democ- racy in this city. I represent the besi k principles of that party in this cam kpaign, and those principles were hand. cd down to us by the greatest advo. cate of equality that ever lived, Thorn as Jefferson. These principles were good enough for Jefferson. They art the principles of the democracy of to day, and they are good enough for any man no matter what my opponents fl this campaign may say or what my enemies may write. I got the nomina ton honestly and above board and without paying one cent for 1t. Every man who worked for me was a vol i1nteer. Mfr Elton was not the choice kof the other side, our opponents. Nil { B1akesIee was their man until the eleventh hour. Then they saw the democratic, party had nominated me and they forced the fighting by putting up a millionaire, so that the campaign would be labor on one side and capi tai on the other. They decided to make test case against the working man 1T this city They say that it is money x that makes a city. I say it is not money that makes city. It is the toiler, the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. Without him the mil1ionaires' money would be EfdIe and 4t would rot. He is the mar Ffhat manipulates the money and makes it double its income and rolls <hA For rnfIIiaY1 fro
