The Cavalry Reunion at Norwich.

The Cavalry association held it's annual re- union at Norwich on Wednesday. The asso- citation had it's origin in the First Connecti- cut cavalry, but is now open to all honorably discharged cavalrymen residing in the State.
 The First Connecticut cavalry was originally battalion of four companies. Recruiting began October 10, 1861. It rendezvoused at Meriden. Its first commander was Major Boardman, of Hartford. He resigned before the battalion left for the field. He was suc- ceeded by Major Judson M. Lyon, of Put nam. The battalion was first engaged at
 McDowell May 8, 1862, and in 1863 was re- cruited to full regiment and sent to Gull pepper Court House and their first battle as a regiment was at the beginning of the Wilder
 ness campaign. In 1864 they were trans ferred to the department of the Shenandoah.
 The regiment saw much active service and distinguished itself through it's whole term
 of service. It did escort duty for General
 Grant at the time of General Lees surrender at Appomattox.

DISCOUNTED REPUBLICANS.
The &. o. r. Suffering from Extreme De
DTuraIization.

BToraliZation.
The Republicans bore their defeat sui
lcnIy. Never were people more demon
allied than the supporters of Mr..
Blaine, who were Republican only that
they might get office or profitable Gov
eminent contracts. But aftec the
grand old party recovered from the
surprise. certain organs and leaders
took courage in the thought that a
Democratic Administration would soon
overlap itself and make the conserva-
tive people of the country anxious for Il
return of Republican rule in 1885. They
predicted tlat the majority OF Demo-
Gratis and Indep rndents would demand
office, and that the professional pOliti-
clans wOull control the Government.
Bat Mr.: Cleveland record rs Governor
OF New York was enough to prove to
fair-minded men chat as President he
world be firm. honest and able. The
Radical press said that Mr.. Cleveland
woWld not be strong enough to with
stand the pressure of the Democratic
demand for Office. Papers like the
,
Press and Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette would .eXclaim: ''LoOk. See them
the. ARMY of Oflice-hunters from the
South already overrun Washington.
But those who looked saw that the Of
fice-SeekerS We're UndemOnStrativc and
comparatively few. Had Blaine been
elected President Washington would
have been crowded with Otlice-hunterS,
and the Otlice-hunterS would have cX-
hibir d the worst types of the Republic

was less clamor for Offica on the eve of
cilaHge of any administration than
now In the first place. the Democrats
elected Mr.. Cleveland rs an eminent
reformer; and they could not. therefore,
consistently beg him for office. In the
second place Mr. Cleveland has stat d

that officc-seekers ''need not apply"
He prefers to make his own selections.
And, in the thnIi place, the Southern
Democrats, who the Republican press
said were Over-running Washington.
have something else to occupy their
time besides oilicc-hunting. They are
busy men, and after working for the
success of the Democratic ticket, they
are no longer politicians until the next
campaign.
Two months have passed since the
election. The hopes of these Repub-
licanS. based on assumed Democratic
greed for Office have dropped fifty per.
cent. They see the Southern Demo-
Gratis commencing Mr.. Cleveland 5
Christmas letter. in which he STATES
clearly the Democratic doctrine OF civil
service reform, and grow Respondent
to think the Democrats are behaving
wisely and temperately. In short the
Republicans see that Mr.. ClevelandfS
administration is to be successful

cratic .riumphs in National elections;
