The Gazette has the lar;..-reir-'-’ culation of any paper in Norwalk. and furnishes the lowest advertising rates; » For G. A. R. Veterans. Decoration day was celebrated every- where throughout this broad land ' wherever faithful hearts beat true to the memories of the glorious past. Thousands of Union Veterans, mem- bers of the Grand Army of the Repub- 7 lie, marched to the graves of their dead comrades with floral ofi'erings. In thousands of publichalls the people as- sembled to listen to eloquent words commemorative ’of the imperishable achievements wrought by Union Veter- ans, living and dead. There were strains of martial music in the air, star- Spangled banners were unfurled, and behind many a war-worn battle flag bronzed and aging survivors of the greatest conflict of modern times marched to beat of drum and trumpet note. It may cheer the hearts of some of. these members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who visited the come- teries and placed tokens of loving mem- ory on the graves of their former com- rades-to read the following opinion of the G. A. ‘R. entertained by the Dur- ham, North Carolina, Globe, a repre- sentative Southern newspaper: “A Post of the G. A. R., and that . means, when liberally and lucidly trans- lated, Grand Army of Rascals, has been kicked out in New York. The truth of the business is that the GrandArmy of the Republic is, and for years has been, a dirty and debauched political pro- curer; an existence without principle, and a nuisance ‘not amenable to the law. It'thrives on corruption and owes its existence to the cool'cal'culation of the wicked conspirators who use senti- ment, dishonesty, roguery and crime _to perpetuate it. The" G. A. R. is an imposition, a fraud and a political pros- titute. It sleeps with crime and wicked- ness. Its membership numbers crea- tures who never smelled real powder, cofi'ee coolers, camp followers, chicken thieves and God knows what. It is a political institution conceived in sin and used to gratify the financial lust of a. decayed, dying and debauched po- htical party known as Republican.” The GAZETTE does not publish this shameless and scandalous attack upon the brave men who form the Grand Army of the Republic for political pur- poses, but to the end that theloyal and patriotic people of Norwalk may know the true spirit of the section which fought thirty years ago to destroy the Union. - _ A Fraudulent Pension. Some time ago William Glace went to pension attorney Perry and asked him to apply for an increase of pension for him. Grace at the time was re- ceiving $6 per month pension, granted soon after the close of the war. It is understood that Mr.. Grace is in receipt of advices from the pension of- fice to the effect that not only is his pe- tition for an increase refused, but that his original pension has also been Withdrawn, it being claimed that he was drawing the same illegally. It is stated that Grace enlisted and then deserted, going back to Ireland until the close of the war, when he re- turned to America on the advisement that his friends were in receipt of his honorable discharge. ' ’ It now seems that in the confusion of names incidental to the closing of the war, the discharge had been made out favorable to him, 'and»on the strength of the same he was‘granted a pension. It is pessible that the, disability will 3 be removed,but Grace’s previous action in accepting money to which he had no right will be apt to act as a‘ bar to such an‘ end. He should indeed thank his lucky stars that he has not been placed under arrest. . ‘ ' Was the Contract Signed ? It is stated that , the contract for macadamizing Main street, while fully acquiesced in b the Borough, has not yet been Oflicia ly signed. To a GA- ZETTE reporter the senior Mr. Blakeslee of the firm who have the _co’ntract for doing the work, this morning said that if such were a fact it was news to him. He said that his son had-done all of the business and that he was at present out of town. He thanked the reporter for calling his attention to the matter, and said that he would make an investigay tion and that everything would pro- bably be satisfactorily adjusted _ if them should be found to have been the omission made as ‘stated, which . he hardly believed Would prove to be true. He said that he was under heavy bonds to fill the contract and said that he was dOIng the work fully up to the specifi- cations._ He added, “And you’llhave a} fine piece of macadam road, when it is finished.” . ' . Those who claim to know say that that the contract has not been signed. ' MOO Suicide in Bridgeport.
