Our New Dress.
We present the Gamma to our readers
today, clad in a new apparel, or, in other
words, in a new dress of type. The ac.
cessity of this step has been apparent to
us for some time and we have only
awaited certain changes in our machinery
"India the construction and arrangement
of our office, to make the alteration and
substitute new material for‘old. Of the
type itself and the paper’s appearance we
do not care to speak at present. The
public will form its own judgment on that
essential point.
The manufacturers, however, deserve a
word or two. The Lindsay Type Foun-
dry, the successors of that veteran type
maker, John Lindsay, have supplied paper
after paper throughout the entire United
States, with an article which, though put
to large and thorough tests, has never
failed to elicit enthusiastic commendation.
They it is who furnish this type and they
it was who furnished the dress for which
we substitute the present one—a dress
which, though in constant use on the
6mm for over ten years, presented
such a' fine appearance that last May,
when we increased the size of our paper,
all of our exchanges credited as with hav-
ing a new dress. Of such stuff is the
Lindsay type made and for durability and
appearance it cannot be surpasssed by any
foundry in the country. It was John
Lindsay who, in the time of the elder
Bennett, furnished the type for the New
York Herald and the proprietor of that
great journal never tired of praising the
excellent material furnished him. And in
these later years the name of Lindsay
attached to type has been synonymous
with excellence and durability. To our
cxchdnges who may be in need of new
material we can do no higher favor than
to recommend the Lindsay Type Foundry,

A Happy Family.
It seems that our democratic brethren
in Connecticut are not very harmonious
just at the present time, and that there is
likely to be "fun ahead" when their con-
vention meets to elect delegates to the
national convention. The New Haven
Palladium thus refers to it,
' For man years lax-Senator Barnum has
been the c f re-head of the Connecticut
democracy. He is now for the second term the
chairman of their national committee. His
rooms at the national conventions have been
the great headquarters and. the throng around
them has been something wonderiu to ob-
serve. But now it seems that this day of
grandeur is assed, as a real live Connecticut
governor is sterniined to represent the Con-
nocticut democrats at Chicago as a delegate at
lat-1i: and leader“ of the eiegatiou. Well!
one is fete. While we cannot hel s mpa—
thiaing with Senator Barnum. who as me
tho"burden and heat of the day,” through two
battles it is but a repetition of history that the
elevenih hour man gets the penny. ‘The first
shall be last and the last shall be first.” Exit
Barnum to make way for the youthful Waller
with the vice-presidential has of mammoth sure
in his bonnet.
We have rmderstood for some time
past that our dapper governor with the
aid of his Paymaster General Colt who
was a student in the law cities of Henry B.
Payne—were intent upon the latter’s nom.
ination for president, hoping thereby to
secure the tail of the ticket for Waller.
But we do not believe this thing will work.
Should Waller go to the convention as a,
delegate at large, of course—being gov-
ernor—he would be something of a lion
and the ex-senatcr would naturally seem,
to be a tail to his kite. We do not believe
that the latter will consent to assume that
role.
It is well known that Mr. Barnum has
contributed more money for the success
and Welfare of the democratic party than.
any other man in the country. And we
greatly doubt if our political opponents in
this state will consent that he now be
placed upon a back seat. And particu-
larly so infavor of a man who after
declaring to the convention that nomi-
nated him for governor of this state
the sentiment ”If any man will
not vote for me without pay, let him vote
against me," was not ashamed to take
$500 for use in his“ “deestrlct” which had
been contributed to the state committee
by Ex-Mayor Grace of New York.
We wonder if Judge Birdsall will have
anything to say about this scheme.

Joule Lee Memorial Church.
The new Jesse Lee Memorial Methodist
Episcopal church at Ridgelield, Conn.,
was dedicated on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley
preached on Tuesday morning, and the
Rev. Dr. J. R. Day in the evening. On
Wednesday the dedicatory semen was
preached by the Rev. Dr. George Lansing
Taylor, under whose recent pastorate the
church was built. The church was dedi-
acted by the Rev. Dr. J. A.‘ M. Chapman,
recent pastor of St. Paul’s church, New
York, who is Dr. Taylor‘s successor in
the pastorate of this new church.
The church is notable, not so much for
its cost, as for its wide departure from
the traditional plainness of the churches of
the Methodist denomination. It is in
Queen Anne style, with a brilliantly fres-
cced interior, and with radiant mosaic
windows, and is a unique gem of village
architecture. The church is the third one
founded by Jesse Lee in New England, in
1790, as shown on the superb comer-stone
—-a cubic yard of Quincy granite polished
and lettered on two faces, and set in one
of the best jointed- granite walls in Fair-
field County. The property is worth about
$15,000, of which P. C. Lounsbury gener-
ously paid more than half, and the edifice
was dedicated free from'debt. » -

OUB WASHINGTON LETTER.
WA/smnoron, May 5th, 1884.
DEAR Gaza'rraz—Thc event of most
absorbing interest here last neck was the
remarkable speech of Mr. Eaton in the
House. The people of Connecticut know
that their representative from the Hartford
district is a man of convictions, and, when
aroused, eagerly and hotly cuunciates
them regardless of friend or foe. By the
ultra free-trade Democrats of the House
he has all along been roundly abus'ed for
his “treason to the Democratic party” in
entertaining, and, in his personal talks
with friends, expressing so, freely his
peculiar tariff views. By the few Sam
Randall sort of protectionists he has been
looked upon as ”one of their sort,” .till the
unfortunate concession he made in his
speech when he said, “ Always and every—
where I have been for a low tariff." This
may account for his other statement that
“On the stump when I made the canvass
for Congress, I was denounced as a free-
trader. Hero I am denounced by Demo-
crats as a protectionist. Both ends of the
candle are to be burned at my expense.”
But Mr. Eaton. has been very distinctly
made to understand that there is to be no
further standing comfort for him among
the leaders in the Democratic party, unless
he will consent to come clean over into
the unequivocal free-trade camp. The
Washington, Post her-ates him as a dis—
organizer and 'enemy to his party, while a
leading Democratic member of the House
from Michigan, in our presence, denounced
him in unmeasured terms as nothing but a
nuisance in their party, and the great
majority of the Democratic party would
berejoiced to see him driven clear over
andjnto the Republican party. That he
and Randall had gone so far towards the
Republican‘ doctrine of protection, that
they might just as well go squarely on to
our platform. They and Democrats like
them] had led the Democratic party to
defeat for twenty years, and would defeat
their party to the end of time if not driven
out of it. These men, it would 8081]], “did
not know the ,thing was loaded" when
they undertook to touch him off, and
angrily catechised him during the delivery
of his speech.
Mr. Eaton has certainly made. himself
the hero of the greatest Congressional
sensation of the session. When he con—
cluded he was surrounded by all the
Democrats of his way of tariff thinking
and many Republicans all heartily con-
gratulating him. and it was nearly a
quarter of an hour before the speaker
could rap the House into order so that the
next speaker on the list could go on. His
speech should and undoubtedly will have
awido circulation.
am. strrcuast’s srsacn.
Representative Mitchell of the New
Haven district is on the list of those desir-
ing to make a speech on the Morrison bill.
'It is looked forward to with more than
ordinary interest, because it is known that
it willbcof the thorough and complete free-
trade order. Mr. Mitchell is like Mr.
~Eaton in one important respect. He
speaks out his opinions frankly and with-
out mental reservations or attempts at
evasion. He is reported to have expressed
his condemnation and disgust at Mr.
Eaton‘s speech in unmeasured terms. It is
is to be remembered that here in Congress
treason to the country can be forgiven,
but treason to the party never. Few have
any conception of the tyranny of the party
dicta, or the political, personal and social
discomforts and actual‘ pains a derelict
member can be made to suffer. Mr.
Mitchell’s speech is expected to come up
to the full measure of the New Haven
Register and Union, and Prof. Sumner
order of free trade. Indeed it will be a
disappointment if the car marks of the
cranky Yale professor are not distinctly
visible in the ulcer and more occult
subtleties of his free-trade vagaries. There
is the possible chance that this hoped for
speech may be denied a delivery, because
of the hurry to get at the vote striking out
the enacting clause, but if so, Mr. Mitchell
will be likely to follow usage in such cases
and get leave to print it in the Renard.
Mr. Mitchell is assured that he, on his
free-trade position, is truly representing
the Democracy as interpreted in the
New Haven district. Mr. Eaton, on the
'otller hand, says he knows that in his
advocacy of protection to American indus-
try and the wages of the American laborer
he is representing the true Democracy of
the Hartford district! Thus Democracy
in Connecticut as exhibited here in Con-
gress to the admiring gaze of the country,
like modern Democracy everywhere, seems
a good deal “mixed," and as Hartford and
INew Haven are less than thirty miles apart,
the Democratic “harmony" in our state
this fall is quite likely to be of Kilkcnny
cat or Donneybrook fair kind. Repre~
sentativc Seymour, of our own. district,
amiable and sagnclous as he truly is, would
be glad to humanize this beligercncc of
his colleagues and stand as a sort of
“go-between" mediator between Mr.
Eaton’s protective policy and Mr. Mitchell's
free-trade vagaries and all in the interests
of peace and harmony in the Democratic
party, but six-footer as he is he can't
straddle the chasm. So he is left some.
what in the bewilderment of his native
Litchiield sheriff who .saw one prisoner
leap from his carriage and run to the
fields on his right, ,while the other prisoner
leaped out andran to the woods on his
left. Glancing at the vanishing figure of
first one and then the other, he is said to
have remarked that although he “felt a
good deal alone" he was afraid to put
chase for either one forufear the other
would rel urn and drive off with the wagon .
00L. WAIT’B srslrcn.
Mr. Waite made an out and out Rambli-
ean speech on the bill. As it will no
doubt be extensively circulated throughout
Connecticut, we will not detract from the
interest reading it entire will afiprd, by
copying extracts. It was an able and
comprehensive exposition of theRepublican
theories of protection to the American
manufacturer, and to the American farmer,
and laboring man. He shows that Demo-
cratic‘ “tariff reform" means either the
shutting up of American manufactorles or
the reduction of the day wages of the
operative to that ruling in foreign markets,
whose goods will flood orlr shores, and
thus the farmer, the merchant and the
mechanic loses in turn his thrifty, well-to.
do laborer class as customers for their
products and skill. Frcc~trade meaning
support for the foreign producer and
starvation for our own.

It is hoped to get a vote on the question
to strike out the enacting clause tmmorrow.
The result is still in doubt though the
Morrison men hope to carry this measure
by two or three majority.

guests were present to congratulate the
aged couple. Mr. S. A. Main of Danbury,
on behalf of his brdtber and mother, ex-
tended a cordial welcome to. all present,
and called upon Rev. Charles Everest of
Norwalk, Mr. Main’s former pastor, to say
something to the couple whom the guests
had come to honor. Mr. Everest made a
few appropriate remarks, and aftera prayer
by Rev. Mr. Merwin and a benediction by
Mr. Everest the company sat down t2) the
well-filled tables: After dinner speeches
were made by a number of gentlemen
among them Mr. Walter Fitch of this
place. The presents were numerous and
valuable including sums of gold coin to
the amount of about $500. Among the
things worthy of especial mention was a
cane made of a piece of oak. placed by
some of Mr. Main’s ancestors in an old
silver mine in Wilton 117 years ago. This
cane was highly polished and headed with

Death of Truman Smith.
The Hon. Truman Smith died in Stam-
ford on Saturday evening at the age of
ninety-four years. For more than a year
he had been confined to his house, but
previously was to be seen on the streets
every day. He was unusually robust for
one of his advanced age, a fact of which
he was justifiedly proud.
Mr. finith was born in. Roxbury, Conn.
He was graduated at Yale College in' 1815,
and entered the legal profession, in which
he became an eminent jurist and advocate.
He also became a conspicuous figure in.
state and national politics. He was re-
elected for the two succeeding terms. In
1839 he was elected to Congress, and was
rc—elccted in 1841, 1845 and 1847. In 1849
he was elected to a seat in the Senate for
a full term of six years, but resigned in
1854. Upon the organization of the court

evening, was abrilliant success in every

First Class in Every Reopen .
The announcement of Barlow, Wilson
dtCo‘s famous minstrel company at the
Opera House next Tuesday evening, should
be sufficient to jam the Opera House
from pit to dome. The Boston Post in
speaking of their performance, recently
said:
An immense audience greeted Barlow,
Wilson .b Co’s mammoth star minstrols at the
Hobart] last night and indulged in about two
hours of laughter and applause, mostly. The
pofiarmanoo was one of the best of the kind
ever grven in this city. George Wilson. in his
orifoho of new songs, sayings and comic
ecturos, was immense and kept the crowd in
a roar? of laughter. Milt Barlow’s “Uncle
Remus" was excellent. Hughey Daughert 's
oration provoked much merriment. Billy
Carter’s anjo solos and songs were ve tak-
ing, and the ole dancing of Charles uesn
was graceful an well received. The gymnas-
tic feats of Talbot, Shannon, Crawford and
,McKlssou were first-class, and some of them
new and very difiiuult. The overture may
properly be referred to last, as it was the best
part of the erlormuuce although there is not
a, dull sum or on the bill.
