the President.

Mr.. Morrison, in speech on the surplus
resolution, made bitter attack upon the
President, in the course of which he said
the President has vetoed over hundred
bills, many of which passed the House with
out dissenting voice, and when he has not
vetoed bills he has sent special message
this open attack on the President being
greeted with applause from both the Repub-
lcan and Democratic side. Col. Morrison
went on to modify it by saying: ''We have
felt at least have-that he has been dis
executive; at least, as he understands it,"

The Dublin demonstration.

The London Standard of this morning says
that the state entry of the new Lord Lieu
tenant will doubtless be brilliant affair, but
after the wild enthusiasm Of yesterday at
Dublin, any ordinary pageant will appear
time. 1t was demonstration in favor of
Home Rule, which Mr.. Gladstone. at the
proper time, will doubtless make the most of
it. Lord Londonderry and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach must be content to dispense
with an appreciation which is to be won only
at so perilous price.
The Times alluding to the demonstration
in Dublin upon the departure of the Earl of
Aberdeen, says that it would be absurd to
attempt to draw any conclusions from a
spectacle (which though not without its
pleasing features, chiefly illustrates the in
Stability and insincerity of the Celtic char
acter.

by young Newsom, died from the eff

he would recover, but he rapidly grew
worse after the third day. Newsom's

had not secured it al the time Of
O'Conner's death. After that, a new
warrant was sworn out, charging him

and he charged defalcations, due to
republican dishonesty and incOmpe>

of dollars since 1851. He also
charged the Republican party in Ten.

20 millions, with spiritiug away the

Mr.. Taylor then took up the tariff
question. He based his views upon
his construction of the Chicago tariff,
calling it Chinese wall which shuts

of business.
On the question Of federal aid to ed

that the Blair bill was killed by the
resolution providing Tor the applica>

The speaker declared that there was

He said that he stood on the plank
in the national democratic platform
which declares opposition to "all

said he was not opposed to universal

The speaker discussed the missing

made an oratorical reference to the

when intermittent fever set in. At last a
chill of eongestive character came upon
her, which, with her already weakened con-
stitution, she was unable to overcome and at
last she peacefully passed away surrounded
by mourning friends and relatives. Among
the more notable traits of character in the
deceased was her kindness of heart and gen.
tleness of disposition, which characterized
her in all the walks of life and under the
most trying circumstances. For nearly sew
enty years she had lived a consistent Chris
tan She united with the Methodist Epis-
copal church in Ridgefeld, the place of her
birth, when but eleven years of age and never
forsook the religion of her fathers. Yet she
was charitably disposed toward all denomi-
nations. At the time of her death she was a
member of Trinity M. E. church in this city.
Mrs. Lovejoy a daughter of the late
Jabez M Gilbert, of Ridgefeld, and a grand
daughter of the late Issac Gilbert of this city,

F. Lovejoy, employed at the Winchester ar
mory. She also leaves three brothers, James
and Elias Gilbert, of Ridgefeld, and Isaac ].

Veteran Firemenss Photograph.
In the window of Jefrey's cigar store on
State street may be seen picture of the Vet
eran Firemen's association, taken from the
old State House steps on the morning of their
departure for A nsonia to take part in the
great parade. The picture is an excellent
one and the faces of the old fremen who,
many years ago, protected our city from the
fiery element can all be recognized. The old
hand engine 'tHercules' is well shown and
on its right are Fire Marshal Kennedy,
Charles Doty and B. F. Brockett, foremen on
the day of the parade. To the left of the
engine are the representatives of the old
board of fire engineers. Back of the engine
and occupying the steps are the veterans.
The beautiful banner of the association, up
on which is a portrait of ex-Chief Hiram
Camp, is held on the highest steps and is
sharply defined. The Branford band, which
played for the veterans in the morning, is
also seen in the picture. The picture is by
Guyer and is a credit to that artist.
