TO HOLIDAY ADVERTISERS.
As an advertising medium the
Guerra 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 Farmsns 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 prove 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 towns who probably see
no other Norwalk paper, is far in
excess of all would-be competitors.
This, our bills for postage paid at
the Norwalk post office fully prove
“militaristic.

Dun: Gamma: "
The past week here has been big with
events bearing upon the welfare of the
Republican party and the success of that
party is but another name for safe and
patriotic administration of the govern-
ment. The prudent and sagacious busi-
ness men and men of property in the
Democratic party, fear nothing so much
as the domination of their own political
organization, in the nation. And well
they may. Was not treason hatched and
nursed when that party was in power in
the national administration? Has it got
run of! after all the strange gods of
“revenue reform,” of greenbacks, silver
and the abolition of all taxes on whiskey
and tobacco, whenever it has controlled
either house of Congress? The most
substantial evidence the country now has
that the next president will be a rcpubl'l‘
can is this very fear and dread sober-
minded democrats have of what their
party will do, if raised to supreme power.
So longas that party is dependent upon
the south for all its working and winning
strength, so long it must yield to the mad
caps of that section, and suffer because of
their fearlessly expressed hostility to
everything nctof their theories and sec-
tion. The best hope for the country to-
day is the prospect that in the near future,
the solid, hide bound “old bunker” domi-
nation in the states of Delaware, Mary-
land, West Virginia, Virginis, North
Carolina and possibly Georgia, Louisiana
and Florida, will be broken up and some
new party organization made to supple-
' ment the old, rebel, intollerant and brutal
democracy that has for so many years
ruled and ruined the finest portion of this
grand and glorious republic. ‘
THE NATIONAL coxvniv'rrorz.
The national committee has held one of
the most harmonious and assuring meet-
ings ever convened. As you already
know, Chicago was designated as the
place of holding the next convention,
and that Senator Sabin of Minnesotn,a
son of Connecticut, was with entire
unanimity selected to fill the important
place of chairman of that committee,
made vacant by our own loved and lost
Marshall Jewell. There was a poetic
fitness in this selection, unknown to most
of Senator Sabin’s associates on the com-
mittee at the time they so honored him.
His first political trust was to come down
to the state convention, a youthful dele-
gate from Windham county, to vote for the
nomination of Marshall chell as a can-
didate for the governorship of Connecti-
cut. Subscquently he went west and by '
his ‘clear and able head and brave heart,
he has amassed aforlune and exhibited
the highest qualities of a Connecticut
man’s proverbial talent for organization,
and victory, in business or in politics.
The national committee have made no
mistake in the selection of Gen. Sabin as
the worthy successor of his old friend
and admirer Marshall Jewell.
The address to the people or “call” for
the convention is also happily conceived
and expressed and is‘brosd and patriotic '
enough to embrace all classes of voters
opposed to the party which has cost this
The question of the presidency of the -
Senate was informally discussed, but no ,
action taken, the matter being left as at p
the end of the left. caucus, with the under- .
standing that when the-time for action
comes Senator Anthony shall receive tllc
nomination. The senator is very feeble i
yet, and serious fears are entertained that l
he never will recover. Should his
health remain as now. it is thought either
Senator She‘rnian or'Senator Ingells will
be selected as presiding ofllcer by the
senators. Abeautiful tribute of respect

mon impulse undiremained standing until

run snnarn nouns.
The debate on the senate rules will, no
doubt, consume many days of the time of
that body, inasmuch as they involve the
question of the presildcncy of the senate,
in event of ,the death or disability of the
president or vice-president.
run nouns. COMMITTEES.
It is authoritatively stated by several of
Speaker Carlisle‘s friends that Mr. Randall
has been set down for the chairmanship
of the appropriations committee, and Mr.
Morrison,charimsn of ways and means,
with puzzling doubts as to whereCox and
Blackburn can be placed. It is possible
that the house committees may be an-
nounced before the holiday repess, but
not generally expected. Speaker Carlisle
now finds his democratic friends vastly
more terrible to him than his republican
opponents ever can be. He is bound ' to
make the list to suit himself, so a howl all
along the democratic line is imminent.
‘ , Lsoisna'rrvn.
I ' Republican senators have already in-
troduced bills in relation to many of the
most important questions that are now
before the country, including civil rights,
presidential inability and the succession
to the executive office, a national bank»
ruptcv act, the Mormon probiem,nstional
aid to education, and other measures that
involve the welfare and progress of the
country.
Avigorous'efiort will be made to see
what legislation can do towards restoring
American shipping. Some of the causes
of its decline are clearly beyond relief by
statute. but oppressive laws now in force
on this subject should be repealed.
TIIE FISH EXHIBIT.
The state department has received
through Minister Lowell an expression of
gratitude from the Prince of Wales and
directors of the international fisheries
exposition for the response of the United
States government to the request for
co-operation in the exhibition. The
medals awarded to American exhibitors
have been sent to the Smithsonian insti
tale for distribution.
POSTAL.
The Post-office department gives us the
following sessonable notification : People
who are sending Christmas cards and
presents by mail should be reminded of
the fact that through carelessness and
stupidity on the part of the senders some
96,808 bundles came to the dead letter
office last year, and over 0,000 Christmas
and birthday cards, The cards are done
up in packages and sent to the orphan
~asylumns and children’s hospitals, and the
merchandise will soon be sold at auction.
Friend W. Smith has secured another
contract for his Bridgeport, Smith &
Egge Company‘s melalic labels and wood-
en legs for mail bags.
GAS.
This is the way Washington papers
speak about their gas, which is about
four hundred per cent. better than that
usually sold in provincial towns: "The
patent bottled moonshine which the
Washington Gas company furnishes to its
patrons has steadily deteriorated during
the past week until householders com-
plain that it is necessary to light a' candle
. to see how to turn off the burner.”
PERSONALS
Among the many Connecticut people
hercthe past week, was Col. H. W'. R.
Hoyt. of Greenwich, who paid a several
day’s visit to his father-in-law, Congress-
man Wait. Miss Stsfiord, daughter of
the late Thomas Staflord, of New Haven,
and ex-Representative Burnham and
bride, have also been here. Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Wells. of Hartford, are advertised
to lead the song service of the Y. M. C. A.,
this evening.
Early Sunday morning Representative
flasks], of Kansas, passed from his
membership in the house to “the house
not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens.” The announcement of the sad
and sudden event was made by Dr.
Rankin at the morning service of the
l
nstion such oceans of treasure, tears and ‘
Congre’galioml church, and the news
blood. Probably no meeting of our ns- 3 soon spread throughout the city. Hie
iional committee was ever so free from Q

If ;
ferences for a presidential candidate. .
the members entertained preferences, us .:
many undoubtedly did, they were subor- l Haskcl was in the
dinated to the general desire that the dele- {
gates to be selected, should go to the ‘
national convention with the one purpose :
of selecting the best and strongest presi
dential candidate. Senator Plait is credit- I
ed with having expressed the following ;
sensible views: “I don't believe the re- i
publicans of Connecticut will send any
man to the convention who is known as
the partizun of any candidate. They will 1
pick out the best men in the state, and l
tell them to go there and deliberate, and l
try to find the best candidate.”
The defeat of Senator Frye‘s very just
plan of representation at the convention,
is to be regretted, but many deem ils ,
reference to the next convention as the
better way of settling the question. The
abrogation of the “unit rule" in the next
convention, willzprove gratifying to hosts
of republicans throughout the nation, !
who believe in the utmost freedom of I
speech and action. .
The next action of significant impor-
tance to the republican organization, was
that of the senatorial caucus at which it
was agreed upon to change the
SENATE OFFICERS.
The nominees were: err-Congressman
and Gen. Anson 'G. McCook, of New
York, for secretary ; Col. W. P. Canaday, l
of North Carolina, sergeant-at-arms;
James R. Young, of Pennsylvania, execu- i
live clerk, and Charles R. Johnson, of i
Minnesota, chief clerk. They are good ,
men and true republicans. :
There was a vacancy in the office of g
secretary, and the selection of Gun. i
McCook was an exCeptionaily strong one. I
He was probably the only man who could I
have beaten editor Gorham, a formhr New I
London boy but claiming citizenship in 3
.Calii'ornia, although the chief writer on
the National Republican here. The nomi-
nce for executive clerk is a brother of i
John Russell Young, now minister to 3
China, and was the illustrious successor
of the writer, in charge of the New York ;
Tribune bureau here. He was removed
by the democratic majority in the Senate
kc place for one of their own parli- ?
zans, who is now very properly rotated i
out for the reinstatement of Mr. Young. '

nee for‘ chief clerk, as was Mr. Gorbam

Kansas, the funeral cortege, under con-
grossional direction, leaving here on the
nine o’clock train in the morning. Mr.
prime of life and of
grand physique, hilt over work on the
tariff bill at the last session brought on
litter prostration. He essayed to do the
; work of‘Chairman Kelly, who was an
invalid, and so overworked on the details
on the revision of the tariff bill, that he
was unable to sleep or rest and his early
death is the lesull. Many of our Con.
necticut manufactureis will remember
with gratitude the hours be freely gave to
the manifold tariff details affecting our
state induslries. He was a rising slates-
mao of high courage and ability and
looked forward to by his people for an
early place in the U. S. senate. He
leaves a wife, who was once a resident of
Meridcn, and two little girls to mourn
with his state and the nation, the loss of a
fearless and honest representative.
As ever,
Toniiile lneuranco.
A genlleman living in New Haven,
took a policy upon the Tontinc plan,
feeling that as he was prospered. in
business he would be one of the number
who would live to the end of the contract
3 and thereby secure the great benefits that
z are to accrue from Tonline policies, as re-
presented by the agents of those companies.
The insured paid his premiume semi-
: annually,.and had but one more payment
to make. His own brother] was agent of
the company, and at the time when the
premium on the policy was due the agent
5 was sick and died st'the house of his
brother, the insured. In the grief and
‘ confusion attending his brother’s death
insured overlooked his premium and at
the expirialion of two days only ap-
ploached the company for the purpose of
paying ,ilis premium, but 'lhe company
declined lo receive it, claiming that
under'lhc contract the policy was for-
felled if the premium was not paid on
the noon hour of the day it is due.
This is the greatest of all hardships
which Tontine insurance brings, and
i when it is brought to our atlenlion by
the relation of such acts of downright
robbery, it does seem surplieing that men
of sense, With their eyes wide'opeu will

Wedding Balls in Brooklyn.
One of the notable events of the pan :
week in Brooklyn, N. Y., which is of I
local interest to a large number of the ,
Gazmrrn's readers, as the fathers of both 1,
the bride and groom are Wiltoninns, was
I the marriage on the evening of December
11th, of Miss Minnie M. Jones, daughter
of Charles Jones, r-sq., to Mr. Frederick
J. Middlebroou.
There were four ushers, among whom
were Mr. J oscph W. Middlebrook,brother
a cousin of the bride.
The bride's dress was of white satin,
wilbpoint duchess lace flounces, and her
bridal veil was caught back with orange
blossoms, her ornaments being pearls and
diamonds. The bride’s mother wore a
white satin pctticoal, while Mrs. H. G-
Ogden, the bride’s sister, was dressed in
white silk with bl‘ocuded satin petlicoat
and point lace.
The Rev. Isaac C. Slurgcs, a friend of
long standing of the bride and groom,
and won high praise by his impressive and
reverent manner.
The house was profusely decorated
with flowers, roses predominating. The
happy couple knelt and were married he-
forc an altar railing covered with roses,
and received congratulations under a
canopy of roses with a large ball of the
some flowers hanging from its centre,
while the doors, windows and stair-case
were trimmed with smilax and flowers,
and rendered the sight one ever to be re.
membcred. The prcsmts were numerous,
costly and beautiful, and bore evidence to
the good will of the hosts of friends of
both the bride and groom.
Wilton was well represented at the
wedding. The familiar faces of Mr.
Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Wpston, Mrs.
Belts, Miss Ogden, Mr. George Ogden,
Miss Helen Middlebrook, Mrs. -Dr. J. E.
Turner, Miss Fitch, Mnand Mrs. Tclford‘,
Miss Turner and others were seen. After
the departure of the happy pair the young
people took possession of the floor and
dancing was kept up to a late hour, and
when the end came expressions were
heard on every side of how thoroughly
they had enjoyed their evening.

Frsnk Mayo as “Davy Crockett."
Mr. Frank Mayo will appear as “Davy
Crockett,” at the Opera House, on Mon-
dsy, December 24th, Christmas eve, and
the Guerra is anxious that the appear-
ance of so great a favorite should be
thoroughly knOwn. Mr. Mayo’e new
show bill creates a sensation wherever
displayed. Each bill costs $0, and sur-
passes anything in the show-printing line
ever done in this country. The New
York Star thus speaks of the play :
That “Davy Crockett” has lost none of
its altractlveness or that it had not ceased
to be a source of profit to its owner, was
evinced by the very large audience which
assembled at .the People’s theatre last
evening. Mr. Frank Mayo made fame
and fortune with this evergreen play, as
he calls ii, and made the title part pecu-
liarly his own. He was accorded a most
generous greeting, and in the scenes that
depicted the daring and courage of Davy
Crockett, was applauded to the echo. His
support was good. The scenery ,and
~ mountings was very handsome and effec.
tive. .

Down the Road.
The Consolidated railroad company has
just acquired a section of land parallel to
its road between New Rochelle and Rye.
The length is eight miles, and the con
tracts for laying tracks will soon be
awarded. This road bed will be 55 feet
wide. and four tracks will be laid. Vice
President Reed says that the grading of
this section will be more costly than the
building of the old road between the
slime points, as much cutting and filling
will be required. In some places the.
grades will be reduced from forty to
twenty eight feet to the mile, which will
effect a great saving in hauling trains.
At one point the tracks will diverge from
the old road for three-fourths of a mile,
and thereby some bad curves will be
avoided. When these changes are com.
pleted express trains will be able to make
as fast time as on any road in the country.
At New Rochelle a lot 200x450 feet has
been purchased, and a new brick station
100x28 feet will be built there.

positive convictions and opinions, in the
expression of which he was always frank
and fearless; firm in purpose and resolute
in action; of unbenoinginte'grity; kind
as a neighbor, parent and friend—lie was
in every relation in life an honorable citir

reporter a liltle sketch from real life ,
' which recalls Howell’s charming creation .
of Helen Harkness in “A Woman’s
Reason." "Mrs. Herbert C. Ayer of
l Chicago," she said, ”wrs only a few

her husband, a well-known iron mer-
! estate went in his creditors. His wife,
who was many years his junior, was not
to be crushed by the‘reverses of fortune,
2 but taking one of her children with her.

é child was at school, and determined to

The experiment of writing a bod: or of
attempting to do magazine work would

however, that during her days of luxury
she had spent much time in selecting a
bric a-brac for her. home, and the idea
struck her that the taste which she had
thus cultivated cou‘d be turned to
advantage. When her determination was
made known she received tempting offers
from several leading. New York houses
In fact, there was lively bidding for her
services, and finally Messrs, Sypher‘ d7

patron, succeeded in capturing her at a
handsome salary and commission. She

talk of sending her to Europe, and per-
haps to Asia, to exercise her taste in
buying frir them. its. Ayer, I under-
stand, has received encouragement from
her Chicago friends, who admire the
spirit which she has shown in the midst
of reverses and the endeavors she has
made to secure independence. They re-
cognize the fact that Mrs. Ayer illuelrstu
that principle of self-help which is dear
to all Americans."
