 Campaign.

Three hundred democrats of New Haven county gathered at the Tom tine last night for a complimentary banquet to William Jennings Bryan, who yesterday made the speech Of presentation at the giving over of the Bennett memorial fountain to the city of New Haven The dinner was one of the most harmonious democratic meetings held in the last twenty years in Connecticut, andNthe words of the several speakers pointed to united democracy of which evidence was given in the last city campaign.
 Mayor-elect James B. Martin was to have been toastmaster for the occa- sion, but because of Illness was hard- Fly able to attend. He occupied tha place of honor next to the distinguish ed guest, and Senator William Ken- Inedy of Naugatuck, filled the office lof toastmaster to a most successful degree.
 After grace had been asked by the Rev. Artemas J. Haynes, of the Unit ed church, and the dinner had been disposed of Senator Kennedy said that in all his experience with New Haven democrats the present occasion was the first on which he had met them united.
