 night. After. enduring the nunlbing atmosphere of the Republican rally at Jackson's theatre for two hours that | seemed like two days. a meek looking man was heard to say that he intend l ed to vote for the party that plans | to send George P. Mclean to the | United States Senate.
 T think they're a lot of crooks in i the Senate'' said the meek looking man. 'and ought to be punished for their sins So hope that they have | Mclean to talk to then3."
 For the Hon. MT. Mclean of sims 1 bury, Ex-Governor of Connecticut, smashed all records for altitude. John | high flyers looked like thirty cents 1 when the MT. Mclean began to soar 1 30,000 feet above sea level. The high 1 by the time that he was out of sight | in the sky the audience was frozen 1 stiff in sympat thy Those who were 1 fortunate enough to be on the edge | of the magic circle quietly slipped out, beat their chests with their arms, l danced up and down and warmed up 1 ill other ways. But the remainder of | the audience was frozen into helpless 1 and mortified silence. Ever and anon they broke into wild applause, like 1 they do at the vaudeville entertain | nents at Sing Sing where the audience | is handcuffed.
 And the parade which preceded the, l spiration for the biting frost which 1 followed. A number of very pronai- were warming their hearts and their 1 insides with the good cheer at g well
 known eating house near the line of 1 march. rushed out and viewed the
 ''procession'' as it passed and then
 came back roaring with laughter.

 Morgan G. Bulkeley promised to give him his Senatorial toga this year as | he was heir apparent to the Senate seat was the principal speaker at the
 Republican rally last night in Jack | sons Theatre. In attendance were 986 people including 100 of the fair sex. | The orchestra which seats 7oS people 1 was nearly filled. there were less than | hundred people in the first gallery
 and one unknown man went into the second gallery. There were about | which seats 2,21O people looked rather | empty when viewed from the stage. | MT Mclean told his hearers that he 1 was a candidate for the Senate but
 that he would rather have MT. Bulke- | ley get the place than to have it go | to Democrats. After saying that the
 Democratic party was good thing | going he proceeded to tell his hearers i that the party of Jefferson had pror 1 noted nothing but fallacies for years l back Then he said that the Repub1i- | can party had been in power for 48 years out of the last 50 years:

 for the party of Abraham Lincoln Af- ! ter saying that he had great respect
 for Judge Baldwin he attacked the | attitude that the Decomratic candi- | date has taken upon the question of

 low voice warned his hearers against extravagance. He said, This is a | great day of a great race. A days

 MT Mclean waxed eloquent at times
 and told humorous stories He told
 Will M Cressey's .:sit your hands ii story better than the distinguished
 vaudeville performer ever told it. The distinguished ex-Governor of the | State received very little applause in r response to his efforts, but he was an old fashioned box stove alongside a snowfall when compared to George B. II Chandler, .- in throwing off political heat.
 II Chandler had not been speaking
 three minutes when he lost over
 100 of the audience. Five minutes
 later he lost some more. and at the
 end of 15 minutes almost half of the
 audience had dismissed themselves. MT Chandler attempted to assail Judge Baldwin by referring to a clipping in
 the Republican Post. The newspaper ouoted Judge Baldwin saying.
 ''Whether or not we needed a public
 utilities bill 20 years ago, we need it
 now
 By a play upon words MT. Chandler
 tried to make it appear that the judge
 ought to have known that a public
 utilities bill was needed 20 years ago.
 It failed to fetch the audience. Ad-
