His Standard Oil Charges Met Everywhere With q Hurried Retreat for Cover, Says
 T. l., Hisgen.
INDEPENDENTS RALLY HERE
Large Audience Attends Meeting at Stcincrt's Atheneum and Hears of tho Principles of the
 New Party.

Thomas L. Hisgen of West Spring field, Mass. candidate for president on the independence ticket, was the principal speaker at that party's rally held last evening In Steinert's athe- neum and he in no uncertain words condemned the principles through which the Standard oil company was securing the power in this country. The attendance al the rally was ex- oeedingly large. which goes to show that the influence of party In this city is fast becoming felt by the independ- ont voters.
 The meeting was preceded by q procession through tho principal streets of the city from the Garde hotel where An ovation had been rendered Mir. Hisgen, in which red fire was used to some extent. Joseph Belasco, the state central committee man, presided over the meeting and in very few words introduced the presidential candidate. begging on his behalf that the audience excuse Mir. Hisgens hrevitv as + was necessary for him to speak at Bridgeport also this evening
 Mir, H'sgen in few introductory remarks, gave short synopsis of the work of the campaign as it had pro gressed since the convention which had been held last June. He then broke into the main hody of his speech which was met with frequent outbursts on the part of the audience. His reference to the lodging of the United States senators in order 10 get under cover from Mir. Hearst's Standard oil brick" was especially productive of applause. In part his speech follows:
 The independence party in Massa ; chusetts has been In the past and is to this day opposed to the merger of the Boston and Maine railroad by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and ia In large part respon- sihle for the delay which has been accustomed In those proceedings. The N V, x, II and H. R, R. company is non partisan In tho matter of the elections Whatever party appears to them able to be wound around their fingers they accordingly place their interests in tho hands of that party.
 "Connecticut Is boss ridden az are many other states Of our union and the only way to break up this bosslsm Is to join the new movement and make the independence party the dominant one, for I believe that in a very short time the party will become dominant and then you will see an end to the rule of bosses.

Makes No References to Any of the New Matters Which Have Been Put Up 
 to Him.
MCLEAN ENDORSES HIM
Thinks Iilley Has Been Treated Un- fairly by Congressional Com mittee--F8ils to Talk
 on Fox Letter.

To an audience that only partially filled the orchestra and balcony floors of the Hyperion theater and probably did not exceed TOO in number. ex-Gov- ernor George P. Mclean and candi- date for governor. George l.. Lilley spoke last night on matters chiefly per- tinent to the state campaign. Col The odore Macdonald led Congressman Lil- lev and the ex-governor on the stage and at once proceeded to introduce sS chairman of the meeting Judge Liv- lngston ". Cleaveland. Judge Cleave- land first spoke of Judge Taft and urg- ed New Haven voters to see that hs got great majority in this city as a man who, through his Yale relations counted New Haven almost as one of his home towns, Then he made an ap- peal to the colnred voters not to desert the republican party In the belief that 1t had not acted right by them and said that if 1t had not done everything possible 1t still had done almost all that any political party has ever done for them. He then introduced Mfr. 1,il- ley.
 The congressman began by speaking of the men who had opposed his llom- ination and were now opposing his cleo ton making the claim that the reason they were opposed to him was that they wanted 10 dictate the nominee of tl,a r<, good of the state. as they professed but their own personal gain and the good of their pockethooks. He declared he had secured 402 delegates of 577 to the convention and that these were secured in the most largely attended caucuses that have ever been held in this state and that they nominated him as re- suit of the voice of the people thus ex- pressed and not of the machine. He continued with the claim that paid traducers are going about the state opposed to him because the fiat has
 gone out from the large corporations of state that he must be defeated for their | interests.
 | Mir Lilley then attempted to carry | the fight into his opponents field hv
 asserting that the real machine in this
 state lis and has been the Consolidated railroad. the telephone monopoly. and the gas and water companies, and that
 q great many of the affairs of our com monwealth are discussed and arranged at meetings of their boards of direc- tors" By this he intimated that Judge Robertson. as director In several of these corporations was controlled by what he termed the real machine.
