Norwalk Gazette. Tuesday August 3d, 1880. National Regulus Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT, James A. Garfield, OF OHIO. son VICE PRESIDENT, ChesterA. Arthur, OF NEW YORK- W THE DEMOCRATIC LETTERS. ch. Hancock‘s letter of acceptance is cutely supplemented by Englisb‘s stump speech, and the two literary exhibits of the nominees on the democratic Presidential tick- et, make one unique whole. Gen. Hancock’s letter is expressed in pleas- ant phrase, after the literary style of the schoolboy’s exhibition-day composition. It abounds in “glittering generalities,” and is conspicuously silent on the vital questions of state—craft now engaging public attention. He is ominously silent as to his proferances for either free trade or a tariff that shall place the American workingman above the competition of the pauper laborers of EurOpe. But on the easy and familiar subject of “standing by the constitution” he is clear and explicit. He “stands,” which forcibly reminds one of the western parson’s gener— ous obituary remark at the funeral of a vil- lage defaultcr: "It is true,” said he, “our de- ceased friend did make way with a consider— able amount of the Government’s money, but nevertheless his heart always beat true to the constitution.” What Gen. Hancock says about honest vo— ting aud counting, is little less than satire in view of the persistent efforts of the democ— racy in Connecticut and everywhere, to break down all restraints upon illegal voting. They are the notorious enemies of registra— tion laws, the stuffers of ballot boxes, and issuers of tissue ballots, to say nothing of their untold crimes at the South, reaching up to deliberate, cold-blooded murder, in order to keep down well known and conceded rc— publican majorities. The report given at the National Republican Committee rooms .9“ Saturday, by Ex-Gov. Warmoth of Louisi— ana. a candid and truthful man, is a fitting answer to this part of General Hancock’s letter. Gov. W. says: “In Louisiana we have 30,000 republican majority if afair election can be had, but there is no chance of carrying the State. The negroes are overawed to such a degree that outside of the towns and cities they are afraid to organize. Even if they did, it would be of no use, because their votes would not be counted. There have been many cases of violence already reported, In each instance the colored men being assaulted without provocation. The same state of thin to a greater or less degree exists in all the outhern States. - “There is no use in attempting to run Re- publican electoral tickets in any of them," aGovernor Warmoth declared. “It would be . time and money. thrown away. The South 1s solid against the Republican party. It would be much better to concentrate all efforts on ‘ the Northern States. There is where General Garfield will obtain his majority. It is use- less to expect anything from the South.” The partisan harangue of Mr. English is entirely characteristic of the man who voted with the “solid south” in the House, against the expulsion of “bully Brooks” for his mur- derous assault on Sumner. Boiled down, its chief point is, that the patriotic voters of the nation have kept the disloyal democratic par- ty out of power for twenty years and it is therefore time now to let them possess the offices and administer the Government again, as they did in the days of James Buchanan. When the enterprising, progressive, think- ing people of this country prefer treason to loyalty, the gray to the blue, despotism to freedom, false pretense to honesty, and na- tional and individual ruin toprosperity, then and not till then, will the dishonored demo- cratic party be reinstated to the place it held up to twenty years ago and when it carried the nation to the very verge of ruin. # More Misery. And still a fifth candidate accepts a Presi- dential nomination and our esteemed friends of the Sentinel are new short two brothers! , General John W. Phelps of Brattleboro, Vt., accepts the nomination for President tendero ed him .by the National Anti-Masonic party in a letter in which be formally avers that the corruption in national politics is plainly traceable to Free Masonry. Sermon—On Thursday last. John P. Stepp, a gardener in the employ of W. B. E. Lockwood, Esq., committed suicide by taking Paris Green. He lived with his family in a house at the head of France street. He told his wife that be had taken the poison, but as he had been intoxicated for some time she did not believe the story. As he persisted in the statement, and be- coming quite sick, Dr. Lockwood was finally called in. Later oniit became manifest that the poor man‘s story was but too true, and he died in great agony. He left quite a large family. That Banner. Thedemocratic banner is n showy piece of net—work, but as Gen. Hancock is now eu— gaged in the new role of trying to marshal the boys in gray instead of the boys in blue, the net wont either catch or hold the fish for which it is set. Winnipauk G. and A. Club. A Garfield and Arthur Club is to be organ- ized at Winnipauk, and will comprise in its membership many of the best Republican workers in town. Election of Major. In pursuance of special order No. 50, from General Head Quarters, the Field and Line ofilcers of the Fourth Regiment, C. N. G., will appear at the armory of Co. B. Bridge— port, Wednesday,‘August 18, at 10 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of nominating a major to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles E. Doty. The boat of the future will be the Cata- muran . They will be safer, swifter and more commodious than the vessels now in use. A steam catamaran has been built for travel on the Hudson river, and as soon as a few changes are made will undoubtedly prove successful. Yachts of this kind are surpass- ing old time sailing vessels in speed, and becoming popular. Some twenty-five or thirty years ago there was a 'sailing vessel of this kind in Westport, which used to bring parties to Norwalk, and, if we mistake not was the fastest sailor in this vicinity. Who can tell what became of it, and why it was given up ? After the severe storm on Tuesday we dropped into Selectman Selleck’s ofilce, and found a little waif fast asleep on an impro- vised bed on the Squires office table. She had been sent for milk in the morning, and losing her way strayed from the city up to the Bridge with her pail. The Captain found her and kindly cared for her until after the storm, when he'sent her home. * * whether the administration be Re- publican, Democratic, Greenback or Prohibi- tion you may retain your hold upon the test which you have worked so vigorously and successfully for the past twenty yearn—Sen- tinel. ‘ Of course our esteemed neighbor is speak- ing figuratively, as no such lacteal gland as that to which it refers has ever had an exist- ence, still the Sentinel’s answering words— “you may hol ” 850., only show a benign generosity in granting its permission, and prove its temper unrufiled by our good na- tured sallies. Still, it causes a pang to be thus made aware of the fact that our neigh- bor’s mind is so early occupied with such a thing as a “teat,” and its mouth already drooling with the expectation and certainty that at least “one of the brothers” is sure to he on the winningside. ‘ y . A Good Speech. One of the most convincing speeches thus far made in the campaign, was delivered at Cleveland, Saturday evening, by Assistant Secretary of State John Hay, who will be remembered by many as President Lincoln's private secretary. He gives the figures to prove the Republican party has not only carried the nation through the fiery ordeal of the Democratic rebellion, but has done grandly in civil administration since, and all who now sneer at it, are men whose own records are tainted. The utter imcompe3 tence of the Democratic party, as Colonel Hay shows, is proved by its inability to soli’ United States 6 per cent bonds at par, after many years of uninterrupted control in a time of peace and prosperity. The Republi— can party, hardly out of the shadow as yet of a great Democratic rebellion, sells 4 per cent bonds at 108. It sees immigration coming in at a rate unprecedented. It sees a grand prosperity as the fruit of its labors, and can afford to laugh at the false pretences of Democratic economy, which have no founda- tion in real saving or in honest regard for the public good. It is well said by Colonel Hay that the marvellous incapacity of the' Democratic party seems providential—tbc worst intentioned party is, as it ought to be, the most incapable. Its own dishonesty it displays once more in shouting for Hancock, the soldier, when it belabored with abuse Grant, the greater Soldier. The Democrats stand no more chance of stealing in under the old army hat and epaulets of Hancock than they did of those of McClellan. ______— Tho Mystery Solved. The query all the past week has been who on earth it was that could spell and so discovered the blunder on the gorgeous Democratic‘banner. The mystery is now solved. Colored “Abe” assures usehe was the one to discover the error and says he told his democratic brethren, “dat dat coon the bad omen of having _ to thus take down their banner, but probably no more so than the rest of the party. He is simply more honest and open in the expression of. his despcndency. He says, “if dem two fellers hangin’ by the neck up dar, [pointing to the two good portraits of landlord Dorlon and Gen Couch,] don’t get ’lected dis time', do dem’crats may jes well stop buckin de tiger, cause den de eyes of the dem’cratic mule is sot, and dere’s no moar use doctorin 'im any. moar.” Abe learned his democracy at the fountain head, under the tuition of Warden Hyatt; and his words are entitled to thoughtful consideration. Obituary. The venerable Cnanmrs SHERRY, passed away on Saturday evening. He had for some time previous, been in very precarious- health and his demise at any time, not an unexpected event. Mr. Sherry came to Norwalk about a half century ago, and subsequently marrying a sister of the late Frederick St. John, settled down here and has always resided at his well known resi- dence on Main street. He never engaged in active business pursuits, being possessed of a liberal fortune, but has always taken a lively interest in all our local affairs and been looked upon as an upright and kind-hearted citizen and friend. DILIZON ALLEN, an aged and well known resident of Roton Hill, died yesterday morn- ing from the effects of a paralytic stroke, ‘spoken of in the GAZETTE of last week. Mr. Allen was an industrious and upright citizen, who won the esteem of all who knew him and in his death, another of the venerable fathers of the town has departed. He was a member of Our Brothers’ Lodge, and his funeral will be duly attended by its mem- hers. Henry Hands, died at the town Alms House last Saturday morning. He has long been a hopeless and helpless invalid, having partially lost his eyesight by reason of cata- ract. He will be recalled by the older resi- dents cf the town as a son of Henry Hands, deceased, long a shoe merchant in Burrall’s Block. The deceased in early life, was sadly immoral and dissipated, but experienc- ing religion be united with the Baptist church. He followed the occupation of carman about our town for several years and many amusing anecdotes are related of his desperate struggle after his conversion, to overcome his old habit of excessive profani— ty, while dealing with a most exasperatingly baulky truck horse. He was a simple minded man, and his light has gone out with few to mourn or miss him. ' President Hayes’s great-grandfather, who was a blacksmith in Branford, Conn., once made an iron bracket, which was recently presented to the President by a citizen of that town. Mr. Hayes acknowledged the gift in a pleasant letter, inclosing photograph of himself and of his wife. Secretary Sher- man's grandfather as well as father, resided here for many years in the old Beers place, next and above the Sherry homestead in Main street, and Frank Beers. now has a leather fire bucket plainly marked “Taylor Sherman” and found in the garret of the old mansion which goes to prove our great fl— nance minister’s ancestor was an active member of Norwalk’s first fire brigade. Our “N. F. C."— (no feminines’) Club have been having a good time. They made Greenport, L. I., the next day after leaving Norwalk and have visited various places of interest, such as Shelter and Block Island, Newport, &c. Young Mr. Kissam left Thursday on the Shore Line train to join the club at Newport. The boys expect to leave New London last night, at midnight, and be home this Tuesday afternoon. At the last moment, Messrs. Prowitt and Lee, whose names were on the published list, found they could not go, and Messrs. F. W. J aqui and S. G. Husted were enrolled in their places, and the name of Dwight Holley, of Danbury, was also added. The mystic letters N. F. C. have been translated to mean “No Fine Clothes,” “ Neptune Fishing Club," “ Norwalk Friendship Clu ,” “ No Fish Caught” lub, etc. A member who left the Club last Saturday has kindly given us the following :— N.

Hancock from all responsibility :for the execution of Mrs. Surratt. They have got to unsay all that they said about the affair fifteen years ago when Hancock was nothing but “a Lincoln hireling" in their eyes. 0 The various companies of the Fourth Reg- iment are ordered to parade in their respec- tive localities “between the 10th of August and the 20th of September". We take it that a continuous parade between those dates is not intended, but that the usual one day parade is all that is comtemplated. O The Commercial Travelers held their an- nual reunion at Morris Cove, on Friday last. Commodore C. H.

I A South Norwalk reader of the New York dailies complains in the Herahl, because our newsmen ask such a large advance upon the office price for their papers. The only way this can' be avoided would be for all our local dealers to unite and have their papers sent direct from the New York offices and- thus escape the intermediate profit of the American News Company. —-——-—+—~o—o————- The ‘Borough water has heretofore been remarkably clear and free from all impuri— ties, animal life, &c.

He found the pipe stopped up with a cat— fish about three inches long. As the water is supposed to be very carefully filtered at the upper reservoir,how the fish got into the pipes is a mystery. —————o-oo-o——-—— Our friend, J.

The caucus for the appointment of dele- gates to the various Republican Conventions is to be held at the Town House next Friday evening. Other business of importance will be transacted. Let there be a general atten- dance of all who desire the triumph of Re- publican principles. ' Uses of the Telephone. On Sunday. evening, while Mr. Lewis Hubbell was attending church service at Winnipauk, some scalawag stole his horse and wagon. Mr. Joseph C. Randle, hearing furious driving, and recognizing the turn- out, telephoned to I. A. Meeker & Co. to send an ofilcer in chase. Mr. Meeker soon had all the Borough Police on the alert, and if the fellow had ventured to come this way, he would have found himself in a hornets nest. However, be tied the horse in front of the Catholic Cemetery, where it was found, somewhat the worse for wear. Dr. W. C. Burke, a few days ago, ascerr tained, while in the horse railway office, that a patient at his house wished to see him. Being familiar with the case, be telephoned a prescription to Mrs. Burke, and also to Stillson's drug store, so that the medicine was all ready when called for. The charges for telephone service have been fixed as follows: For Bell Telephone, with call box, $25 per annum; for telephone, transmitter and call box, $36 per annum, payable quarterly in advance. This increase in price is owing to the fact that, while the Western Union Telegraph Co. owned the instruments, and could put whatever rates they choose upon them, the present stock company is charged by the Bell Telephone Co. $10 on each instrument. Besides this, the service is now continuous, except for a short time on Sunday, and there will soon be a connection with police and fire depart— ments, available at all hours of day or night. 5 The Odd Fellows’ semi-annual report shows our Brothers' Lodge to be one of the largest and best funded lodges in all the State, it having but three or four peers. . This lodge reports 381 members—103 dormant and 278 active; relief $685.50; funds $11,644.14. Butler lodge also has a good showing for a comparatively new lodge : 125 members, in. cluding 17 dormant; relief $101.30; funds $8,047.39. Wooster lodge, of New Canaan, reports 125 members (46 dormant), relief $129; funds $5,627.83. Rippowam 'of Stamford, has 136 members, all active, with funds amounting to $5,268.80. Pequonnock, Bridgeport, reports 400 members, (124 dor- mant,) relief $728; funds $7,622.48. Ar- canum lodge, Bridgeport, has 150 members, (8 dormant,) and a fund of $3,707.42. Les— siug, Bridgeport, 83 members; funds $102.- 71. S. H. Harris, also of Bridgeport, 144 members, (5 dormant,) relief $60.85; funds $1,238.94. Pic-Nico. The annual excursion of the Methodist churches, to Brookside Park, took place last Thursday. The excursion train left the Bridge a little before nine a. m., drawn by two locomotives, and crowded with excur- sionists and—provisions. The regular train up, and hour later, also conveyed many to the Grove. A pleasing feature of the day was the unexpected arrival of the new Brass 'Band which marched into the grove from the depot, and remained throughout the day, discoursing sweet music, and adding greatly to be general enjoyment. It leaked out final- ly that the members of the Band gave their services, the Danbury Railroad folks gener- ously furnished transportation, dinner and other incidentals were provided for by liber— al parties, &c. The day was spent after the usual manner of such parties, and the excur- sionists arrived safely home at an early hour. The pic-nic must have been as great a suc- cess financially as it was.socially,—but the figures have not yet been given out. Sou'rn Nonwanx, JULY 31, 4880. EDITORS Gszn'rrxz— . - Since the nomination of Hancock, the Democrats here have been in “high daddy.” Just before the nomination they had faces on long enough. to cat, cats out of a churn. They were in such fear that Tllden was going to be put on the track again. But since Hancock’s nomination they pretend to see the day of their deliverance. For twenty long years they have been fasting, until now they are as empty as Dr. Tanner. It had been thought best by some in both parties that it would be best not to make any move in forming, clubs here until after the State nominations, but the Democrats are in such high glee over Kinney's conversion that they cannot wait, and I am informed that they propose to organize a club next week. Kinney has made large promises to them; he thinks he has an immense influence over the young American voter. So much so that he promises to form a company of those who have heretofore voted with the Republicans. ‘ Kinney is hard at work to form his organi- zation, and it is quite amusing to watch his movements. - He will meet a young man on the street he knows has been a Republican, and he says to him: “Bill, I am about form- ing a Hancock. Club; you know I used to be a republican, but I have changed now, and I would like to get a hundred or two of such menas you are to go with me. Now you know the democrats have been a hard crowd if they get up a company they will have to fill the ranks with the Corcorans or the Mike ‘Donohues from the bogs of Ireland, or the- Beer tubs from the Rhine in Germany, but this year we propose to fill it full with the decendants of the Mayflower.—Such men as the Kinneys and the Waterburys. I. of course, will be captain ; that is a position that I always excel in for everybody says. I am handsome and to be led by a man like me ought to be sufficient for any man of good judgment to forsake father and friends, and come over to the democrats." ‘ Such aifitfinents of course somewhat con - fuse the ydtifiinan and he says. I will see. Kinney pulls .out his book and puts down Bill Ketchum for his club, and as a member of the Democratic party; and then he hunts up Dickey and the General, and they hold sweet communion over a new born soul into the democratic kingdom. Their never was a party that would get so happy over so little as this party. There lire not many Democrats _ here, but what few there are seem to be lively, you can see them holding sweet council together most any time of day. Stillson, General, Swsrtz, Dick, Jere and Old Furry, are the managers. What seem to exhilerate them most is the fact that they have got a‘Soldier for their nominee. ‘Ever since they run little Mao they have been cursing the republicans for running soldiers, and have said “ We want men that are Statesmen to fill this position; what does a soldier know about the management of civil matters,” and they will point you to the fact that General Grant made the blunder of appointing men to his cabinet that were not eligible. If ’ General Grant did not know how to run the nation, how is General Hancock going to do it 7’ As I understand it he knows nothing what~ ever .about civil matters; be was started when a boy at West Point for a soldier, and ever since then he has been under orders. Gen. Grant was elected because the people felt under such great obligation to him for suppressing the rebellion that they felt wil- ling to give him anything he wanted. But not so with Hancock, for if he is going to be elected, he must be so by the men he helped to thrash. Now you know that is not natu- ral, but they will do anything to win, even to voting for a Union General. But before the people vote for a change, they are going to find out how they are to be benefited by that change, and they will think a long time be- fore they will give the management of the Government over into the hands of men who did all they could to destroy it. .———.—n. “Shall I help you to alight," said a young gentleman, addressing a bouncing country girl, who was preparing to jam from a car. rIage. “Than .you, sir,” sweet yreplied the girl, “but I don’t smoke.” . . the Norwalk Iron. of $8,500 in cash and S Tuesda PERSONAL.

Present number of accounts about 4,400 Connecticut People at Saratoga. The Saratoga Register says that more peo- ple come to that popular resort from Connec- ticut, in proportion to her size, than from any other state in the Union. This fact is largely due to'the liberality and, business sa- gacity of the managers of the Housatonic railroad who, by a schedule of low rates, fast time and every consideration for the comfort of its patrons. stimulate travel and set anex- ample which some other roads would do well to imitate. Travelers to the principal towns in Connecticut on this route can breakfast here, leave at 8:45 and have an early tea at their own homes. -——.—4.'—.—_ The New York Sun is evidently getting anxious and repudiates the democratic no- tion of General Hancock's peculiar availabil— ity as a candidate, by protesting against any “military nonsense in the campaign,” and by informing the demOcratic leaders that they must make up their differences at once or lose the :electicu. It. says that they “may possibly elect Hancock if they are thoroughly united. But all the superfluous strength they have to throw away could be contained in a lady’s thimble.” ‘ The population of the State is 623,166. C The N ew Cemetery Fence. Mr. Geo. L.

Certainly no one is more capable from long experience, of proffering the above advice, but then we prefer to adhere to yourfirst named power, neighbor, and will leave you in the enjoyment of the other fellow. — It was at school not a thousand miles from Newburgh. The teacher had been giving out words which the scholars were to incor- porate into sentences. He gave to one young miss the word "obligatory.” He explained that the word obligatory meant binding. The young lady laid her head upon her hand and seemed puzzled. But in a moment or two her eyes rested upon her well—worn spelling book, and her features brightened as a happy thought seemed to strike her. The next instant the astonished teacher read the sentence : The obligatory of my spelling— book is worn out." ' ————.'—‘.o—.—- Mosquitoes lead a hum-drum life. The Baltimore thermometers have been singing "Ninety and Nine” in the shade. An unhappy marriage is like an electric machine—it makes one dance, but you can’t let go. “Don’t banker after perfection,” wisely says Josh Billings. “Just asza peach gets ripe it begins to rot.” The man who commits suicide before next December is a recreant and a traitor to his party—Burlington Hawkeye. The young man who boasted that he could' marry any girl be pleased, found to his great mortification, that he did not please any. The secret of running a boarding house profitably is to find out just what your boarders don’t like, and feed them plenty of it. ' General Garfield and General Prosperity are a team too strong for Hancock to beat.— 0maha Bee. General Discontent heads the democratic party, as of yore. The best whistler in New York city is said to has young lady. She can stop a horse car four blocks off, and even the b0ys who whistle on their fingers are nothing to her. “Have you got the rent ready at last?" “No, sir; mother’s gone out washing, and forgot to put it out for you.” “Did she tell you she'd forgotten 7” “Yes, sir.”-—Judy. “To be able to swim and take care of oue’s self in water as. well as on the land becomes the bounden duty of every man, woman and youth not physically a cripple."-Bridgeport Standard Short sermons, short prayers, short Scrip— ture reading, and short hymns, brethren, these hot' Sundays; but make up in quality and appropriateness what is left out in quan- tity.— Golden Rule. “I know a victim to tobacco," said a lec- turer, “who hasn’t tasted food for thirty years.” “How do you know he hasn’t ?' asked an auditor. “Because tobacco killed him in-1850,” was the reply.

The New York Mail says that the newest art thing in Paris is a little gold or silver pig, worn by actresses as a trinket on their watch chains.” And they probably have a little flesh and blood donkey tied to their apron strings. The first state elections this year will occur on the following dates: Alabama, August 2; Arkansas, September 6th ; Vermont, Septem- her 7th ; Maine, September 13th; Colorado, October 5th; Indiana, Ohio and West Vir— ginia, October 12th. A pair were married at Newport, R. _1., a few do s ago, after an unbroken courtship of thirty. ve years. For some fifteen. or more years the lady has lived at a distance of thirty miles-from her lover, but the court- ship went on all the same. A committee on tableaux at a centennial celebration in Vermont issued an invrtatron asking “all the pretty women In towu" to meet at the hall to take part in the tablegux, and every woman in the place came to time. That committee knew how to get plenty of help.——Boston Post. The Democratic Convention of 1868 pro- nounced the reconstruction acts “unconstitu- tional, revolutionary and void." Hancock was a candidate before that convention. The last convention which nominated "pledged itself anew” to the doctrines and traditions of the party—Indianapolis Journal, Rep: A uette came out of a fancy goods shop loa ed with purchases. “You have re- newed your provision,” said gs rival. “Don’t speak of it, Ihave quite ruined myself. I have bought a thousand things I do not need, among others six tooth brushes.” “Ah, _.- _.~:__~Jb ""Wr VT!‘% 1* -‘- 1»- ~., one for each tooth," said the other sweetly. ~ Connecticut Politics. A pretty clear-headed Hartford corres-_ pondent of the Springfield» Republican, in discussing the political-outlook in Connec- ticut, says it seems taken for granted that. ex.Gov. Hubbard will receive the demo— cratic nomination for the first place on our opponents state ticket. He says also, that the names of Oliver Hoyt, of Stamford ; H. B. Bigelow, of New Haven, and , H. Bulke- ley, of Hartford, are the leading names dis- cussed for the same place on the Republican ticket. Of Gov. Andrews he talks thus plainly :—“—-Andrews exhibits ‘no intention of withdrawing from the bontest, perhaps not appreciating the fact that he was not the first, second or third choice of the party two years ago, and that he is no stronger now than then. The nomination then went beg— ging, and it fell at last to Andrews to pre— vent its going to Gallup, to whom the second place on the ticket had been conceded in advance. The governor now looks upon himself as the man who “saved the state,” while there are many republicans In differ— ent parts of the state who look upon- him as a man already honored far,more than he had any reason to expect and certainly to the full extent of his deserts. Being in he has a certain amount of prestige which may secure him the renomination, but he will have to contend against some personal antagonisms and aga pat the ambitions of various other politicians. From present indications his strongest chance for a renomination will be found in the character of the candidates made a good enough governor, weak in some of his appointments but strong in others. He isa man of liberal edu ation and of more than average intellectua power. The man to set him aside should it least be his equal- in these respects. He himself would be the first to admit that Jeremiah Halsey of Norwich, for instance, would probably make a stronger and better candidate than himself and fully as able a chief magistrate. # All citizens of Winnipauk who are in favor of the election of GARFIELD do ARTHUR as President and Vice President of the Uni- ted States are requested to meet at-tbe room over J.
