The republican demonstration at
Rowaytou last night was the biggest
affair ever witnessed in that stronghold.
A band, drum corps, cavalry and hun-
dreds of handsomely uniformed men.
together with the brilliant illuminations
along the line of march aroused the old
titnu'enthusiasm and all hands entered
into the pleasant duty of making "Rome
bowl.”
The companies arrived shortly after
eight o'clock and it was not long after-
ward that thc possession moved. The
following companies were in the line in
the order given: Stamford cavalry,
Rowaytou cavalry, Glover's band, Row.
nylon club, J. D. Smith Pioneers, Hoyt
Guard, Stamford company, lt'cssenden
Guard, Stamford Cadets, Miles Light
Guards, Harding Battery, Bulkeicy Bat-

pany, Darien club, New Canaan club,
Norwalk Iron Works Battery.
The line moved as far as Wm. T. Ray-
mond's where the companies counter
marched by going through his handsome
grounds which were illuminated In fine
style. The procession then paraded
down the west side of the river and re-
turned to the village. During all the
time the Harding battery lived their brass
cannon and the Iron Works battery
made things jingle with their mortar.
The collation was served in tho wig-
wam and a large tent. It is doubtful
Whether ii more elaborate spread has or
will be spread anywhere this campaign.
Seats were provided for the men and
their long march enabled them to sit
down to the good things with keen ap-
petites. A well made oyster stew was at
each man's place, together with coffee,
cake, sandwiches and meats. A large
number had to leave behind many a
mouthful in order to catch the train.
The illinninations were very fine and
many of them were elaborate. In fact
there are so few democrats in Rowayton
that almost every house was illuminated
from top to bottom. Among those who
illuminated Wv'l'l': Isaac Paine, Miss

General Harrison Denier the falsehood!
About Bins.
At Indianapolis yesterday, at a grand
demonstration of the ‘wcrkingmcn,’ Gen.
Harrison took occasion to deny the false-
hoods which have been circulatctl about
him. He said:
“The purpose of all these stories was
to poison the minds of the workiugmen
against the candidate of the party that
stands in this campaign for the principle
of protection to American labor. I have
only once, in all of the addresses] have
made to my fellow~citizens, alluded to
these malicious and scandalous stories;
but. now, in the presence of this great
gathering of workingmen, 1 do pro-
nounce them tobeutterly false. The
story that I ever said that $1 a day was
enough for a workingman, with all its
accompaniments and appendages is not
a perversion (if anything i said, it is a
false creation. I will not follow in detail
this long catalogue of campaign slandcrs
but will only add that it is equally ”also
that anywhere, or at any time, I spoke
ldisparagingly of my fellow-citizens of
Irish ~nativity or descent. «Many of them
are now enrolling themselves on the side
of- the protection of American labor.
This created the necessity for my story.
I want to say again that those who pitch
a campaign upon so low a level greatly
undero-stimair- the intelligence, the sense
of decency and the love of fair play of
the American people. I said to one of
the first delegations that visited me that
this was a contest of great principles,
that it would be fought out upon the
high plains of truth, and not in the
swamps of slander and defamation.
Thoee who will encamp their army in
this swamp wtli abandon the victory to
the army that is on the heights."
floating the Cars.
The New York and New England road
is putting to a practical test a new
scheme for heating cars. They are try~
ing to utiliz» the Baker heater for steam
power from the locomotive. The design
is to heat and force into continuous cir-
culation the water already in the pipes.
The device is intended for trains attachv
ed, but when side-tracked and detached
the regular heater can be used as an aux-
illiary. 1n the first experiment the pipes
were hot in five minutes, but it required
twenty-five minutes to thoroughly warm
the car.
Frederick Miles for Congress.

lmnenf its prosperity and wealth, and
against which, Ilp‘lll good democratic
authority, Mr. Cleveland and the demo-
cratic party have “thrown down the
gauntlet in a fight of extermination,"
should be represented in Congress by a
staunch protectionirt— a protectionist
who is such from principle and comic-
tion, and not incidentally or as a matter
of temporary necessity. Any protec-
tionist in the district, who stops to think
upon the matter, will acknowledge this,
and will feel the necessity of recording
his vote for Mr. Miles, the republican
nominee for Congress as the logical and
inevitable concurrence of that convic-
tion. In the hands of Mr. Miles the in-
dustries of the district will beanie,»
far as his vote and influence go, and
there can be no question as to how he
wril vote and act when those industries
are assailed. This single consideration
should settle the matter, and doubtlem

people, and being unable to inflict any
more physical injuries on the people,
she has pursued Irishmen to America,
where she sought to steal their charac-
ter. {Biases} She failed. [Loud ap-‘
pluusc.] But was “her fault if she
failed? {Cries of “No."] No, my
friends. She failed because the great,
liberty loving, large-hearted American
people refused to entertain her slanders,
refused .o believe her lies. [Continued

The lento 'Ahaudolu the Country to the
Iarplua and its rate.
If the Senate, which has a Republican
majority, is really a representation of the
Republican party in this wontry, than
that party is not entitled to the confi-
dence or support of any voter who re-
quires that our' national interests be
watched and guarded by our represent»
tires in the upper home of Congress.
The Republicans in the Senate have ad-
mitted by the introduction of their tariff
bill that the surplus ought to be reduced
and that the tariff ought to be reformed;
but after going as far as this, instead of
sticking to their work proving their sin-
cerityr in their own measure and doing
what in them lay to effect a remedy for
the evil which they acknowledge needs
their attention, they laugh at the cotta-
try, incontinently adjourn and leave
their work undone. This unpatriotic
action is strongly in contrast with the
action of the Democrats in Congm,
who long ago recognized the need of
tariff legislation, prepared their reform
bill, passed it in the House and have
since steadily done their utmost to cause
the matter to be voted on by the Senate.
A reduction of the surplus, or at least a
prevention of its further growth is what
the country has long needed, and needs
now; but this relief in any form the Rev
publicans in the Senate have refused to
grant. They would neither let the Dem-
ocrats pass their bill nor could they
argue well enough on their own measure
to pass that. They simply leave the
matter where it was at the outset and go
back to their constituents with the rec
ord of having blocked the passage of a
well-considered measure of reform with-
out having attempted to pass anything
in place of it. Whatever detriment
comes to the country from this inaction
of Congress is chargeable directly upon
the Republican Senators.
The existing surplus is $97,000,000.
The Secretary of the Treasury has al-
ready bought the greater part of the
bonds needed for the sinking fund for
the present fiscal year, and only a small
part of the appropriations of the present
session can be expended within the year.
According to a statement just prepared
by Assistant Secretary Maynard an ad-
accreed by June 30th, 1889. ID that the
whole surplus at that time, as things are
going now, will be $201,000,000. The
subtraction of this vast amount from the
currency of the country will simply be
disastrous to general busine'u unless the
Treasury buys bonds, and theaecan be
had by the government, before maturity
only at such high rates of premium as the
holder can exact from a forced pur-
chaser.
This is the scraps in which the Sena»
tor's adjournment leaves the country.
Every patriotic voter should consider
well the course of the two parties in this
vital matter of the surplus. The Demo-
crats in Congress have done their utmost
to relieve the country by passiogarc
form measure through the House, and
by doing all they could to get it through.
the Senate. The Republicans have done
absoluwa nothing but make an admis-
sion of the needs of the country and
then demonstrate by adjourning their
unwillingness, or incompetency to re-
lieve those needs. One party in Con-
gress has shown the virility of an organ-
izatiou which exists for the purpose of
learning the will of the people and exe-
outing it; the other the inherent weak-
ness of a legislative group which is in-
different to the country's wants, and too
divided by its support of class interest to
be able to formulate and carry through
any beneficial legislation. A conscien-
tious and intelligent voter will not long
remain in doubt as to which should have
his ballot.
