 Address the Meeting.
 The last of the senatorial district ral- lies under the auspices of the Young Mems Republican club was held at the Republican hall last night and it was 1 largely attended The utmost enthusi- asm prevailed and the slogan of victory 1 at the polls on Tuesday was sounded with tone of triumph by the various | speakers.
 Frank c. Bushnell presided and in- troduced the speakers, Among those present and who spoke were the fol- lowing well-known leaders: Colonel 1 Woodruff, Major Blakeslee, Jacob D. | Walter, Congressman Sperry, Colonel | Ullman, Major Tilson, Joseph O'Brien, Frank s. Butterworth, F. L. Homan, James H. Macdonald, Henry H. Town 1 shend, Frederick Lehr and others |
 Colonel Woodruff, candidate for gov- i ernor, was the first speaker. He re- ] ferred to the great power of organiza- ton and gave several instances of how the want of it affected the country dis | tricts, where, he said, the chairman was the whole thing. The day of brass bands and red fire, he said had gone 1 by, and that the informal gatherings such as they were now having were more to the tastes of the people and were, to his mind, more effective in their results, He predicted that all they had to do to obtain big victory was to get out the vote. If this was done they would return the party to power who would give them good gov ernment, happiness and prosperity. 1 (Applause)
 Hon. N. D. Sperry on rising to speak was loudly applauded MT. Sperry in ] his remarks said that the time for ar gument was now over. What they had to do now was to act. They knew th6 reasons why the republican party should be returned to power. There never was a time, he said, when the prosperity of the country was so great as at present. He advised all strongly to let we'll enough alone and not try to swap horses in the middle of the stream. He appealed to all to vote the straight republican ticket from top to bottom. (Applause)
 Major Blakeslee spoke briefly on how to get out the vote on election day. Speaking of Hearsts candidacy in New York, he predicted a great calamity if Hearst was returned as governor for that state. Although Thayer was not so radical as Hearst, yet he thought that the democratic nominee for this state was working along the same lines and while he did not predict calamity in Connecticut were Thayer elected, yet he said that Colonel Woodruff was the right man and good enough for anyone l (Applause.)
 F L. Homan spoke briefly on the pol icy of the club and the splendid calibre of it's members. They were not a fussy organization and they did not exact too much of man when he applied for membership. Yet they never saw dow dyinsm within it's walls, nor men on it's rolls that were not credit to any organization. (Applause)
 Joseph O'Brien spoke encouragingly of the outlook for Tuesday and predict ed the return of all four of the republi- can nominees for senator.
 Frank s. Butterworth made an ex- cellent address, in which he advised all to take firm hold of the situation. They had, he said, to grip it firmly, and, after they had got it, hold on to it and work it out for the good of the peo- pie at large In order to do this it was , necessary to be strong and energetic. He was confident of victory for the re- publican party next Tuesday l, Major Tilson deplored the attempt that was being made to stir up the
