DEMOCRATS TO RALLY.
Various Parts of. City to Be Visited
 by Politicians Tonight

Evincing more enth uSiasm and in terest in the coming election than for several years, the democrats are put ting forth strenuous efforts to lana the party back in power this year, and now that Hartford democrats have elected a mayor and town clerk, the local followers of the Jeffersonlan principles feel that it is up to them to do likewise. Tonight three different parties will cover the city making street corner rallies. The itinerary of the speakers is as follows: Wash ington and Lafayette streets, Gold and Broad streets, Curtis and Myrtle streets, North street and Hartford avenue, North and Spring streets and at No. Engine house, Church and Stanley streets, Pleasant and Fairview streets, and Stanley and Whiting streets The principal speakers will include A. s. Andrulewicz, Adna John son, candidates for comptroller and city clerk; Anderman A. M. Paonessa. Registrar Thomas J. Smith, Thomas c. Smith Jr., candidate for tax col lector; Attorney David L. Dunn and Judge W. F. Mangan, chairman of the democratic town committee.
 The indictment weather of last even ing did not deter the ardor of about 100 dem nocrats who faced the elements to hear Dr. John E. Martin, candidate for mayor, speak in Ruthenian hall. pr. Martin continued his talk on the present administration and many times during his speech was forced to stop because of applause. This even ing Dr. Martin will address @ meeting of St. Jean Baptiste society in the hall at 34 Church street.

commodore determined to make the action short and decisive, and luffed so close to the enemy that in passing, her jo0- boom fouled the Constitutions s mizzen rigging. In this position the American frigate poured in such a well-d directed fire that part of the bowsprit, the fore and main masts were shot away.
 When the enemy's mizzenmast went down, lodging across the deck, Bain bridges move to rake her brought down her flag. The ship proved to be the frigate Java, AZ guns and 400 men. Captain Lambert, of the Java, was mortally wounded 60 of the crew were killed and 100 wounded. The Constitution lost nine killed and 25 wounded, among them Comm odorc nbridge, who was struck twice by shot. The Java, was so fearful a wreck she was blown up.
 Commodore Bainbridge landed his prisoners-3 51--at San Salvador. Up- on his return to the United States, February 27, 1913, he was voted $50,- 900 by congress. which gave it's thanks to the commodore, his officers and crew, and medals to all the officers.
 A long career of splendid naval serv- ice was ended by his death at Phil adelphia in 1893.
