Death of Proprietor Converse OF the
Converse House, This City, and Grove
Cottage, SavIn ROek-A Long and
Painful IlIness-Death of His Father
In EnAeld A week Ago.
Horatio A. Converse, proprietor of the
Hotel Converse, of New Haven, died Sunday
morning, August 10, after painful illness of
six months, with dropsy and Bright's disease
of the kidneys. Mr.. Converse was well
known to the travelling public, having been
in the hotel business for about eighteen years.
He came to New Haven from Springfield,
Mass, in 1884 and leased the Austin House,
now the hotel Converse, and also had place
at Savin Rock connected with the hotel. He
was very successful in his hotel ventures and
made many friends in spite of the fact that
he was unusually strong in his likes and dis
likes. Mr.. Converse was born in Enfield,
Conn, May 5, 1885, and was a son of DR.. Jo-
seph P. Converse, who practiced at Enfield
ct the advanced age of lightweight years.
Mr.. Converse leaves a wife and three chill
dren, three daughters and one son. The eld-
est daughter is the wife of Fred j. Brainerd.
A brother resides in Rome, n. Y, and q sis
ter in Enfield. Although knowing that he
could not recover Mr.. Converse bore his try
ing illness very patiently, and though his de-
voted wife and children, with the aid of DR..
f. 81. Wheeler, his physician, and Mrs. e.
NJ Smith, his faithful nurse, did everything
in thier power to alleviate his suffering death
at last was a welcome relief to the sufferer.
The funeral Will take place from his late resi-
dence, 100 State street, at s o'clock this
evening. The interment will be at Enfield.

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
THE VOTE OF COLORADO.

70 me Fdffor Of The TrtbHne
Sir: I find In Tho Tribune Of Thursday an eni-
toral article headed The General SITUATION IN
which, among other things, you say
The Republicans gavo to President Garfield the votes
OF every Northern State excepting California and Colorado
which barely carried by the Morey fraud anu Ne"
Jersey, which gave Hancock only 900 plurality.
Tho point to which wish to call your attention
Is that with reference to the vote OF Colorado IN
1880. Colorado gave Garfield plurality OF 2So3
or 5l27 per cent Of her vote. In 1854 Blalne's
plurality was 1868, Or 54.3o per cent. Blaine
was popular candidate in Colorado, and received
the full Republican vote Tho vote Of the State
at the forthcoming election will be larger than IN
1884. and Color ado may safely be set down for ten
thousand majority for Harrison and Norton
The Morcy letter had very little. II any, influence
upon the voters Of Colorado, Notwithstanding that
the Democrats made a desperate EFFORT 10 MAKE IL
available there as a campaign document, and car
ried their agitation far to create riot In Den
yer on tho eve OF the Garfield election. Respect
