To noun‘air anvsn'rrsnas.
As an advertising medium the
Gum's-n ofi'ers advantages in point
of circulation and the character of
its patrons which command the at-
tention of all classes of advertisers.
It goes direct into and is duly
read by the FAMILIES of the pur-
chasing classes.
Every copy is designed to go
into a home. It has no rivals that
compete with it as a welcome visi-
tor at the fireside and home circle.
Its constantly crowded advertising
columns pmve how unnecessary it
is for us to indulge in deceptive
boasting in order to win patronage.
Yet it is due to our advertisers that
we assert our belief that its local
circulation is in excess of the com—
bined circulations of all other
papers in Norwalk. Its patrons
are always welcome to its press-
room and full inspection of the size
of its editions is cordially invited.
It has in addition to its local cir- ‘
culation, a‘ wider area of readers “
than any other Norwalk paper. Its
mail sent to subscribers in the sur-
rounding tOWIJS who prbbably see
no other Norwalk paper, is far in
.excess of all would-be competitors.
This, our bills for postage paid at
the Norwalk post ofiice fully prove.

EDITORIAL LETTER.
WasaINe'rox, Dec. 10,1883.
' Dan Gmrra :—Thc Democratic
House now awaits the announcement of
its committees as made up by its new
speaker. The greatest solicitude isfelt
and expressed by democratic members not
only as to their personal relations to the
committees and their chairmanships, but
more especially as they may affect the fi-
nancial,manufacturing and other business
interests of the nation. Mr. Carlislc has
been very diligently and seriously groomed
by his political friends in these regards
so that no impediments may be laid in the
way, by him, to the expected democratic
presidential triumph next fall. But
Mr. Carlisle and his special henchmen
Messrs. Watterson of Kentucky, and
Morrison of Illinois, are not as adroit
concealers of their true views on the
subject of free trade and protection, as
are most of their party associates. The
great body of the southern democracy
are for free trade openly and resolutely,
' and they have the courage of their
convictions in season and out of season,
regardless of consequences to the party.
The Democratic party of the south is a
solid democracy, and without its aid the
northern democracy are powerless in
national politics, hence, the south always
has and always will domilmte the
democratic party of the country, and the
northern, democracy will yield to them
hereafter, just as they always have ,
hitherto. The south thoroughly believes .
that all northern prosperity has been in
some manner at the expense of their
. section. It is for this reason that
southern dcmbcrats oppose protection to
American industries more than from any
love of the heresics of free trade per so.
Our northern business men, of whatever
party they may be, may just as well set
tie down to the fact, first as last, that
whenever the democracy dominates in
congress the “heft" of legislation will he
in the interest of southern views of ,
policy and against the north—and the few
less to change this current of legislation, ,
even when they wish it.

.The place for holding the next Repub-
lican National convention continues to
excite increased interest in Washington.

strongest influences at work. Senator

'Tllc Tribune of Sunday contained a
startling exposure of frauds in city con-
tracts, extending over a period of six
years, by which the taxpayers of New
York have suffered losses of six millions
of dollars. The disclosures show the ex-
istence of a ring whose methods are sim-
ilar to old Canal ring. A system of un-
balanced bids has grown to startling pro-
portions in the department of public
works under the eyes of Commissioner
Thompson. '
Tomorrow—is the day appointed for the
meeting of the Republican National com‘
mittee. The business before the meeting
willbe the election of a chairman to sue-
ceed the late Governor Marshall Jewell,
and the fixing of a date and place for
holding the next National Republlcon
convention. In the contest for the chair-
manship Senator Frye, of Maine. appears to
have the greatest strength, while Philadel-
phia has the largest force at work'to secure
the convention. The basis of representa-
tion as fixed by the committee at its meet-
ing in January last, is as follows:
“The Republican National convention
of 1884 shall consist of four delegates at
large from each state, and two delegates
from each congressional district.
“The delegates at large shall be chosen by
popular delegate state conventions. called
not less than twenty days' published
notice, and held not more than sixty days
before the time fixed for the meeting of
the National convention.
“The Republicans of the various cps-
gressional districts shall have the option
of electing their delegates at separate
popular delegate convention. _called on
similar notice, and held in the districts at
any time within the fifteen days next
prior to the meeting of the state convcn
tions, or by subdivisions of thestnte con
ventions into district conventions; and
such delegates shall be chosen in the latter
method if not elected previous to the
meeting of the state conventions. All
district delegates to be accredited by the
officers of such district conventions.
"Two delegates shall be allowed from
each territory and from the District of
Columbia, similarly chosen.“
. An earnest cflort is to be made at the
committde’s meeting to' reconsider this
action, and to provide a ratio of represen.
tation that shall be satisfactory to the
masses of Republican voters in the north.
The plan which Senator Frye will sub-
mit is regarded with favor and seems to
meet almost all the objections advanced
to the plan discussed at the January meet-
ing.

our invasion of his hitherto exclusive
territory we are ready to admit. But the
justice of the attack we do most seriously
question. We did not authorise anyone
to make what the dilemma deems
odious comparisons. On the contrary, we
have always admired the pluck and

OBITUARY.
home in Springfield, Saturday morning
last, was for many years the most com
spicuous§and important financial character
in this vicinity. Almost a half century
ago Mr. Werner succeeded the late Henry
T. Morgan. as cashier of the old Fairfield
County bank. [is was then a young man
of the finest accomplis
spicuous business abilities, and as was
often remarked of him, “a natural born
financier." He continued as cashier and
practical manager of that venerable bank-
ing institution until some years ago, when
he left Norwalk to accept a similar' trust
and wider responsibilities in Springfield,
city. With this Springfield bank Mr. W.
continued his relations until‘ compelled by
ill health to less active participation in its
management, but never, we believe. entire-
ly severing his connection with it. In
Norwaik, and indeed Wherever known,
Mr. W. leaves many ardent friends to
mourn his departure. 0f kindly graces
and courtly manners and always inflexible
for the right, he commanded the respect
and regard of his fellow men to an unu-
sual degree. In his relations as husband,
father and'friend, he was "generous to a
fault,” affectionate and unwavering in his
fidelity and loyalty. Peace to his ashes.
The remains will be brought to Nor-
wnik to-dsy on the 12:54'trsin and interred

The recent decease of Mr. Eli B.
Bennett, at his great age, recalls many
incidents and anecdotes that occurred in
this town, more than three-quarters of a
century ago, which have been handed
down among our native towns-folk. Mr.
Bennett commenced his clerkship with
the firm of Gregory in, Street, some
seventy-five years since, in a store where
now stands the stores occupied by
Messrs. Keeler Jr Holmes. 'Jabes
Gregory, of this firm, was father of the
late Capt. Moses Gregory, grandfather
of thalnto Admiral Francis H. Gregory,
of the United-States navy, and great
grandfather of our Dr. ‘James E. Greg-
ory. Among other anecdotes told by the
late Capt. Moses Gregory of his father
was that of thciurkey eating Dsnbnry
man. .
In addition to ,store-koeping. Mr.
Gregory entertained a few travelers at
.his house which stood on Main street,
near the present stores of Mr. John F.
Bennett. At that period there were no
rsilronds or steamboals, and the hat
manufacturers or Daubury sent their bst
cases down to tho Norwalk sloops by
wagoners. who on their return took mer-
chandise freight. Some, or most of the
wagoncrs were in the habit of getting
their dinner at Mr. Gregory’s, for which
dinner they paid twenty-five cents. One
morning in mid winter, one of the
wagoners stopped on his way to “Old
Well," where the sloop was lying, to tell
Mrs. Gregory that lie would'be back in
time for dinner. When he returned at half-
past eleven he was told by Mrs Gregory
that he could have his dinner right away
if he was hungry. _.
went to the diuingroom, where he found
a full grown turkey‘on the table done to
a turn, as were the fixings. In less than
thirty minutes he had eaten the entire
bird except the bones, with 9 due pro-
proportion of the fixings.‘ Squire Greg-
ory came home to dinner at noon. his
usual hour, and going to the table found
the wagoner just rising, who remarked to
Mr. G. that the turkey was a nice one,
and asked him where it was obtained.
On being informed that it was home-bred,
he remarked that he should have to go to
raising turkeys himself. “My friend,”
says the squire, “unless you raise one
before you reach Dnhbur , you are adoad
man.’ ‘ '

We thought a few” years ago, when
Messrs. Osgood 85 Co. favored us with
their magnificent fine art edition of
“The Lady of the Lake" that the very
perfection of book making had been
reached, but, on examination of this' re-
cent edition of Tennyson's “Princess,”
we are forced to acknowledge that we did
not do fall justice to the book-maker’s
ari,_nor lo the most infinite resource of
this enterprising house. .“The Princess,"
as a poem, needs no introduction to our
readers. Its well-known charm lent added
lustre to the author’s honored. name, and
surely no rarer setting could be found
for so brilliant a gem. We had been
promised a {‘superb edition," and our
expectations have been more than realised.
‘It is a brilliant scant courier of the nu-
merous holiday hooks. .' “Harper's Maga-

is unrivalled by any other for the per-
