THE REPUBLICAN EMBLEM.
0h say! can you see, by the dawn’s early light;
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight s
last gleaming—
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through
the perilous night,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallant-
ly streaming?
Thus conquer we must, when our cause it is
‘ust,
And tiiis be our motto—“In God is Our Trust 1”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
wave .
O’er the land of the free and _the home of thI3
br'avo .
I say here that the Wages of the Auction
Laborer cannot be reduced except With the con-
sent and the votes of the American Laborer hun—
self. The appeal lies to him—James 6. Blame.
If once the United States finds itself on the
road to free trade she will hardly know where
to step. For the principle which President
Cleveland, as head of the Democratic party,
lays down is really that no import duties are
justifiable which are not levied solely for pur-
poses of revenuc.-—Tlie Scotsman.
We are uncompromisingly in favor of the
American system of protection; we retest
against its destruction as proposed by t 0 pre-
sident and his part . They serve the interests
of Europe ; we wil support the interests of
America. We accept the issue, and confident-
I appeal to the people for their Judgment.
The protective system must be maintained.—
Rep. Platform. '
Signal of Distress!
Never before in the history of this Re-
public, did a candidate occupying the
high position of President, hoist such a
pitcous flag of partisan distress, as has.
Grover Cleveland, in his Canadian retal-
iation message to the U. S. Senate. It
probably is not quite fair to charge him
with the full responsibility of so demagog-
ical, insincere and childish a state paper.
He was no doubt “put up to it" by the
campaign managers of his party, who see-
ing that Irish-Americans arcsleafivjngbis
standard by the tens of thousands on ac;
count of his aid and comfort rendered to»
England, on the free-trade issue, have
urged him to his ridiculous and panicky
utterance, with a hope of arresting the
stampede. We hope the Senate will
promptly meet the President’s “bluff” by
passing a bill giving him all the retaliatory
authority he craves. True he has more
now than he ever has or ever will use, yet
his cunningly devised littlo scheme to
catch the runaway Irish vote should be
thus nipped in the bud. Mr. Blaine, in
his speech at Lewiston, has disignated it
aptly and with dignity, when he says:
"With all due respect to the Chief Execu-
tive of the nation, I must say that, con-
sidering all the circumstances, if. is the
most extraordinary document that ever
was sent from the White House to the
Capitol."
That adequate power is already vested
in the President to do what he pretends he
wants to do, all men know; therefore it is
not unjust to call his screed, an uncalled
for, unpatriolic and unmanly bid for votes
Of it the Democratic Sun says :—
“Thc greatest of all the sensations that
President Cleveland has brought. out is
his Canadian retaliation message. He is
the most sensational President the country
has ever had mid this last beats all.
The silver coinage letter to Gen. Weaver
foretelliug commercial disaster and finan-
cial explosion, was a great sensation. So
was the civd service letter to Mr. Curtis.
So was the appointment as Minister to
England of E. J. Phelps. So was the
marriage, often denied and yet at last
beautifully consecrated. So was the tariff-
smashing mcssagc of last December. But
now this antLCanndian, anti-British, true
blue, North American, Jacksotiian mes-
sage lays thcm all out.”
While England will laugh as to scorn
and all Europe deride us, because of our
President's folly, we can safely rely upon
the fact that all the nations of the earth
yearning for its to adopt free-trade, will
certainly and ardcntly hope for his re-
election.

For Conn-ens.
It. would seem that the Record’s cuthus-
iastic booming of Borough Clerk Seymour
for Congress, gets very little sympathy or
support from the rank and file
of the Not-walk democracy. They openly
denounce Mr. Seymour as a highly intcl-
lectual, but theoretical free trade ”crank,’r
with little or no intimacy with,or affection
for, the unwashed and unlcttcrcd multi-
tudes of his party. The rank and file of
our Norwalk democracy are clamoring for
cit-Congressman Levi Warner, as their
Congressional candidate this fall. They
say “he is one of us" and don’t carry his
nasal organ as high up as Seymour when
thrown into familiar, social and personal
association with those whose faces and
garments may not be as unsoilcd its his,
but whose votes are just as potent. _

THE SEVENTEENTH’S REUNION.
HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT.
The Seventeenth Regiment Connecticut
Volunteers was for the most part furnish—
ed by Fairficld County, and was recruited
and organized during the month of Au-
gust, 1862. On the third of September,
1862, the regiment left for Washington,
one thousand (1,000) strong, under the
Command of Colonel William 11. Noble,
and was attached to the Army of the Po-
tomac.
On the 2d day of May, 1863, the regi—
ment was called upon to participate in the
i battle of Chancellorsvillc, Vii.; thntthcy
performed their part in the battle. and
fully sustained the reputation of Connec-
ticut troops for bravery and endurance, is
clearly exhibited in the long list of casual-
ties reported by thc Major commandin .
During the battle the 17th were ca lcd
upon to use the bayonet freely, and al-
though drivcn from positions at different
times while the fight was in progress, it is
clearly set forth in the several official re—
ports, that had all performed their duty
with the same degree of bravery and fidel-
ity exhibited by this regiment, the result
would have been less disastrous.
Its loss in this engagement was one
hundred and twenty (120) officers and
men. Among the wounded were Colonel
Noble, Captain Hobbie, Co. B, and Lieu-
tenant Blinn, Co. D. Licut.-Coloncl Wal
ter was at first reported missing, but was
afterward ascertained to have been killed.
0f the missing four (4) were commission-
ed officers.
The regiment was subsequently engag
cd in the battle of Gettysburg from J uly
lst to 4th inclusive. Again it. was called
upon to give up of its bravest and best.
In this battle its aggregate loss was no
less than one hundred and ninety-eight
(198) officers and men. Among the killed
were two (2) commissioned officers, Licut.
Colonel Douglass Fowler and Captain
James E. Moore of Co. C, and eighteen
(18) enlisted men; wounded, four (4) com-
mlssioned officers, and seventy-seven (77)
enlisted men; Missing, two (2) commis—
sioned officers, and ninety-five (95) enlist-
ed men. '
After nearly twelve months of severe
service with the Army of the Potomac,
the regiment was, in August 1863, trans—
ferred to the Department of the South, and
located at Folly Island, S. C.
On the 23d of February, 1864, the reg-
iment sailed from Folly Island to Jackson-
ville, Fla. During the month of March,
it was attached to the lat Brigade. “Amcs'
Division,” of Gen. Seymour's command,
and was occupied in the usual amount of
picket and fatigsic duty. At the time the
troops in that epartment were ordered
North, the Seventeenth was ordered to
St. Augustine, Fla., where it arrived on
the 17th of April, and relieved the 1011:
Conn. Vols. After its arrival, portions of
the regiment were at. various times engag-
ed in raids from Jacksonville. On tlic
19th of May, Company B, which composed
the picket posts at; Welaka and Saunders,
on the St. Johns river, were captured by
the rebels.
On the 24th of December, Coloncl Noble
was captured by the enemy while on his
return from Jacksonville to St. Augustine.
Lieut-ColonelWilcoxsop started from
St. Augustine on the 3d of February, 1805,
upon an expedition for' the purpose of pro-
curing some cotton belonging to a rebel—
Coloncl, which was stored near Dunn’s
Lake, nearly sevent five (75) miles
distant; he succccde in capturing the
cotton, but after marching some seven
miles u on his return, was attacked,
wounde and taken prisoner. His Ad-
jutant, Lieut. Chatficld, was instantly
killed while engaged in a hand to hand
encounter with the enemy. and Captains
French and Best, with thirty-two (32) of
the men were captured.
Col. Wilcoxson and detachment were so
suddenly attacked and by such an over-
whclming force (about two hundred of
the enemy) that they could make butlittlc
show of resistance, 7
Major Allen, in his re bit dated March
1st, 1865, remarks : “ be brave young
Chatficld fell shot. through and through
the body. He was in the act of cutting
his way through the rebels when he receiv-
ed his mortal wound. He died as lié had
lived; a courageous soldier, and an honor
to the State and our country."
On the 9th of > June the regiment was
ordered to rendezvous at Jacksonville,
and await the arrival of the detached com-
anies, when it was to proceed to Hilton
end, S. C., for mustenout.
At; Hilton Head the regiment went into
camp to complete rolls, and were finally
mustered out July 9th, 1865.

The chentecnth’s regiment could not
have asked for a more perfect day on
which to Iiold their reunion. All nature
smiled from early morning on the prcpar-
ations going vigorously forward for the
entertainment of the veterans. ,Long bo-
forc the time for the arrival of the troops
the Armory was arranged with tables and
conveniences for feeding the multitude
and the Grand Army Hall was put in pro-
per shape for the regimental business
uicctitig. '
Ttic details of the whole affair were car-
ried out in accordance with the previously
announced programme. The veterans, as
fast as tlu y arrived, assembled at the
Athcnzeum, where at about 10 o‘clock the
business meeting was held, President
Willis McDonald in the chair.
Among the noted people present at. the
business meeting were Gen. Noble, Col.
Huss, Captains Belts, Lacey and Ayrcs,
Mrs. Col. Henry Allen, lIon. Samuel
Glover of Fairficld. The first busi ness at-
tended to was the payment of annual
dues, etc. A general and desultory dis-
cussion followed as to the days of meeting
of the Association. Gcn. Nublc moved
that when the anniversary comes on Sun-
day it be left to the executive committee
to designate the day; carried. It was
announced that the regiment was invited
to meet with the Ohio regiments brigadcd
withfhc 17th, at the Grand Encampment

ing proceeded to the election of officers
for the ensuing year, with the following
result :

‘ Secretary, Comrade chlcr.
Gen. Noble’s motion was carried, that a
committee of three be chosen to go to thc
battle-fields of the war and try ‘ to recover
the remains of Col. Chas. Walters and Col.
Douglass Fowler. _
At the close of the business meeting the
line formed for parade in the following
order :— - .

The line of march took the parade
through the principal streets of thc bor-
ough, terminating at the Armory, where
Warden Gregory on behalf of the borough
welcomed the veterans in a happy speech.
Warden Gregory was followed by Sena-
tor-F. J. Hill, who welcomed the visitors
on behalf of the citizens of Norwalk. as
follows:

Union, Freedom and a Nation’s life, and
then the fathers and the mothers gathered
’ronnd and bade you Godspeed upon your
journey, prayed with trembling lips for
victory to crown your struggles and that
a kind Providence would bring you back
in health and strength to the homes yoti
loved, to the dear ones you were leaving
and to the enjoyment. of the priceless
blessings you were fighting to secure.
You went forth a thousand strong, in
the flush of youth, and with the vigor of
early manhood, conscious of the righteous-
ness of your cause.
Today you come to us again, few in
number, some broken by wounds and
years of suffering, some still strong and
vigorous, but all past middle life.
We welcome you to our homes 'tuul
hearts and speak to you a Nation's gi'ati
tilde for what you did and what you suf-
fei'cd.
May the memories of your dead com-
rndcs be precious to you today! and as
their lovcd ones gathcr'rmmd you here
and listen to your'storics of the old war-
time. may lhcy, too, feel that they have
part. and share in the glories that belong
to the soldiers of the Union.
You are proud of your record now, and
proud you have a right to be, for you
fought. to save a Nation, and a Nation
sated greets you as its heroes.
Not alone to the men of the 17th, but to
every Union soldier here, may I express
the hope that the time will never come
when you shall be forgotten or ignored ;
that you and I may never see a Union
vctcran live in poverty or die in want, but
rather, that so long as you shall live, the
wonderful prosperity that. you made possi-
ble for this people may be shared with
you, not. with grudging spirit and in stint-
cd measure, but as fully and as freely as
you gave yourselves when men were uccd-
cd. ' ‘
May the measure he, as you stood by us
in war, so may we stand by you in peace.
Again I. say, God bless you, and we]-
come here to-day! ”
President McDonald presided over the
exercises in front of the Armory. At the
close of the address of welcome, Gcn.
Noble responded to both, in well chosen
language. After the response by Gen.
Noble, the same speaker, to the intense
surprise of Hon. A. H. Byiugton, prcscnt-
cd to that gentleman a magnificent gold
badge of the regiment, with the figures
“17th" set in diamonds; on which was iii-

The speech-making being concluded, the

Armory for dinner, and were efficiently
and abundantly served by a corps of Nor-
walk’s fair young ladies. Thc repast was
enlivened by toasts, anecdotes, speeches,

The veterans of the old 17th must have
been a remarkably handsome body of men
when they first went out, and they haven’t
gotten over it yet.
Norwalk will be pleasantly remembered
by the veterans for the whole soulcd hos-
pitality of her citizens.

Morison Iloyt’s stoop.
Apropos of the project to find the bodies
of Col.‘Wultcrs and Fowler, Capt. Wood
and Major Russell say that while there
will probably be no difficulty in
recovering the body of Col. Walters,
they have nofuitli in the successful hunt
for that of Col. Douglass Fowler, as they
were detailed to recover the body within a
week after the battle of Gettysburg, on
the first day of which the Col. was lost,
and after cxhuniing 100 bodics from the
trenches of the victims of the fight, they
were obliged to give up the search.

Another Driven Out .By Free Freda.
Charles S. Higgins, who has been one of
the most prominent- Democrats of Brook—
lyn, announced yesterday that he was
ready to support Harrison and Morton
and the Republican platform of protect-
ion. Mr. Higgins has been a member of
the Democratic General Committee in
Brooklyn, a Presidential elector on the
Democratic ticket, and a member of the
Democratic State Committee. At, present
lie is a Bridge Trustee, and owns his ap-
pointmcnt to the Democratic officials in
Brooklyn. His business is that of a soap
of men. He is an active member of the
Brooklyn Club, and one of the wealthiest
of the dwellers on Brooklyn Heights. Mr.
Higgins said yesterday : - "
“The re-clcction of Clevoluud would be
the greatest calamity that ever happened
to this country. 1 have always been a
Democrat, but I won’t support. a party of
free trade. I Will vote for Harrison and
Morton. The Republican platform protu-
iscs protection to business interests, and
that protection is needed. What would
become of those interests if Cleveland and
Thurman were elected ? My factory and
hundreds of others would be closed, and
thousands of men with families to support
would be thrown upon the world without
work. I intend to do all in my power for
the election of Harrison and Morton, for
on that depends the welfare of the coun—
try. I know half a dozen prominent Dom-
ocrats who have always supported their
party, but now they will vote against
Clchlund. They know free trade will
drive them out of business, and that the
rc—clcction of Cleveland mcuns free trade.
With the Mills bill nlaw,my factory would
have to close.-—— Tribune.
