 City Hall.

The democrats held rally in City hall last night The place was packed, but everybody liked the speak CTS so well nobody minded whethes he was standing or not Dr Kilmaftin presided and made few timely intro ductory remarks. Colonel Osborn Of New Haven was the first speaker. His voice was poor, but his logic was all right. He was cheered. Senate. Kennedy followed MT osborn and I. was refreshing to hear the senator tell the facts in connection with the ques> ton of veracity between Mir Lilley and himself as to wiit1h suggesteG that both keep mum about the other during the campaign. MT Kennedy read the Hon MT Lilley's .communica- ton which appeared i'll the Democrat ill reply to ''N. Y. Z.,'' and then went on to explain. After both had been nominated H. $. Chase went to Chris tian Suobel and requested him to sea Mr Kennedy and tell him that George Lilley wanted to see him and With view to coming to an understanding that neither have anything to say about the other during the campaign. When the matter was put before Mir Kennedy he refused to meet the con- gressman for any such purpose and never exchanged a word with him ill that connection. Mir Strobel was sit ting on the stage and the speaker, pointing his finger at him, exclaimed: MT Strobel is here and knows wheth- CT I am telling the truth or not. The only favor I ever aSkeds of Mir LilIey was when I requested him to appoint man to have the indorsemeat of the labor organizations of this town to the position of superintendent of the free employment bureau in Waterbury, and this ne positively refused to do" MT Kennedy then showed MT Lilley's connection with the beef trust. and gave his private clerk couple of bad thumps, too,. He also gave the Re publican and the American call. but he forgave the former because the management admitted to him that they had been imposed upon by George l.. Lilley; but he appeared to feel q trifie more hurt at the attitude of the Amer ican. He wanted to know if anybody with the exception of Mir Lilley has any interest in Waterbury, adding that he pays $500 a year to the municipali. ty himself and that he Is not trying to dispose of tho real estate he owns il. Waterbury. The senator's speech was considered the. best effort of his life.
 Ex-Governor Waller has lost none of the magnetism to which he owes some of his success as a public speak CT. He predicted democratic success and gave excellent reasons which a victory would be for the best interests of the country. He touched upon the laws of this state and called attention to what has been so often aired, that Connecticut is the only state in the Union and the only place of it's size in any part of the world where the English language is spoken that does not enjoy trial by jury. Mir Waller in cidentally referred to the splendid work which William Jennings Rryan has done for Parker in Indiana and Illinois and prophesied that with cer- tain issues settled and out of the way, as they now are Mir Bryan will again be the standard bearer of the demo- cratic party and will sweep the field. This remark created wild cheering, showing that after all Bryan never was anything but a good democrat, and that it was the Walters and Os- borps that got outside the traces when the. boy orator of the Platte was bat. ting against the influences which the democracy of to-day is aiming to over throw ill the interest of the whole country
