That argument is addressed directly to George

enemy. What have the advocates of Civil Service
reform to say in reply? They have violated their
principles in sustaining President who has per-
sisted in breaking his pledges respecting Civil
Service reform. They have been in the habit of
arragning " the Grand Old Party" for its al

CONDITION OF THE H. X C w.


 The railroad commissioners report as follows concerning the Connecticut Western road ''On our fall inspection of your road. made September 2G, 1888, the roaibe,l, track and bridges all gave evidence of having received attention, and of a very considerable amount of work during the past season. The bridges east of New Hartford all seemed to have been put in good condition, and when the repairs for which arrange melts have been made are completed along the rest of the line your road will be in very satisfactory condition, We observe the enlargement and improvement in the Norfolk depot, that tasteful passenger station is being erected in place of the one recently burned at Lakeville, and that a convenient and substantial platform has been erected at Tariffville. We trust that some satisfactory arrangement may be soon made with the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company whereby you may be enabled to give your patrons better station facilities at this place.

Chairman Barnum's Illness .

The Hon w. H. Barnum, chairman of the national democratic committee, has been in poor health for two months or more, but his extensive business and political duties prevented him from taking any rest. He was quite i'll in New York last week and was not able to reach his home in Lime Rock, until Monday noon. Yesterday he was not able to visit Salisbury and vote, in fact he was confined to his bed. With few days rest he will undoubtedly regain ,hie usual health.

HOME IS 4 SUMMER GARDEN STILL

Still Natures lover sees beside
 His woodland path the gentian's face, And still stray golden rod gleam forth From sheltered hooks with plumy grace wildwood candle whose sweet blaze Yet draws the bees in sunny days. Beside the brook the asters brave, Bright stars of earth, delight to bloom, And the charmed heart almost forgets That just at hand are cold and gloom, Waiting their somber shade to throw Der all the warm and golden glow. Now let the richest flowers of love, The fairest buds of friendship shine Kindle upon the hearth blaze
 Symbolic of that flame divine Which burns with clear and steady light Through sorrows long and weary night. Welcome, November's days of gloom,- Welcome the winters storm and cold Bright be the hearth, but brighter still Shall be the light of loves pure gold; Outside the winds may beat at will, Home is a summer garden still

HH probabiy elected Governor Of New York
New Jersey Democratic COnnecticutin doubt. Both parties claim
 INDIANA.

Dispatches received at ;35 this morn ing concede the election of Harrison and Morton. The New York Tribune bulletin states that they have carried New York state by from 15,000 to 2O,- 900, and the Herald bulletin places the figures at 15,O0O. Hill is probably elected governor of New York state by 8 small margin. New Jersey goes democratic by nearly 5000. Connecti- cut is in doubt, but the indications are republican. The Hartford Times gave up the state to the republicans at mid- night. Both parties claim Indiana, but it looks democratic. Simonds is cleo ted to congress from the first Conn. district, Miles probably elected from the fourth district.
 The returns came in very slowly last evening and up to midnight were meagre and conflicting. The following shows how difficult it was to get returns from which to base an estimate of the result in any of the doubtful states.

Followed His Brothers Example.

CINCINNATI, Feb. ia. l.. Kebler,
brother of Charles Kebler. who recently
committed suicide when the knowledge
of his fOrgeries were about to develop,
has followed his brother by suicide. 1t
happened last night at Fern Bank, a
suburb of Cincinnati, down the Ohio
river at his residence. He USED two re-
vOlyers, holding one in each hand, and
directing one to his brain and the other
to his heart, fired simultaneously. No
cause is known for the deed except the
disgrace of his brother Charles. He had
wife and three-year-Old daughter.
The latter was i'll at the time, and he
had left his business early yesterday
afternoon on that account. He had
been employed for the past three years
as secretary of the Cincinnati Baking
company.

AT BATTALION DRILL.
One Hundred Men of the Gallant
First Were Out Last Night.

Battalion drill at the armory last
night brought out 100 men of companies
c, ID and f, First regiment. and Colonel
Bend, Adiutant Sonnen and Sergeant
Major Knowles. The gallery was
crowded with spectators, large pro-
portion of whom were ladies'. Company
e reported SO men for duty; d, SO, and
L, 81. This number was cut down to
ga men in two divisions, under Captains
Bean and Blakely. All the formations
were in double rank. An hours march
ing. with but one or two errors. showed
that the boys had not entirely forgotten
the battalion movements, but were a
little rusty from want of practice. A
few minutes rest was given at 9o'clOck,
after which the two divisions, still i'm
double rank, were put through the ''lOad
and fire." in which they showed the
effect of good manual drilling. The
acoustics of ArmOry hall are not good.
and it is sometimes very difficult to
understand all order across the hail.
This difficulty led to one or two errors
during the drill. ''AlI things con-
sidered,'' remarked Adjt. Sonnen, 1.-The
drill was fairly good. 1t was ordered
simply for instruction, as the occasions
are too rare on which battalion move
mentS are possible"
"What have yOn to Say?' asked the
reporter of Col. Bend.
Only this, it plainly shows that we
must have more battalion drills. And
We'll have them, tool"

Means account has been examined and
he has paid to the receiver $l25,O0 for
his paper held by the bank. George K.
Duckworth has paid $4,000 on account,
and will pay the remainder as soon as
it is aScertained. Director Roth is doing
the same. What effect this course will
