Business Men Take an Outing.

BERKSHIRE BUSINESS MEN JOIN WITH
 NUMBER FROM THE NUTMEG" STATE
 IN PLEASURE TRIP TO NEW YORK;
 The business men of North Adams, Adams, Zylonite, Dalton, Hinsdale, Pittsfeld and other towns in the Northern part of Berkshire county, to the number of about 225 accepted the invitation of the managers of the Housatonic system to take trip to New York city. on Saturday of last week, the object being to show them the advantages and superior facilities of the Housatopic system for handling freight, and at the same time give them 8 pleasure trip.
 A special train of four cars in charge of Conductor Geo. Brown and Engi- neer Chas. Lyman, left Pittstield at about 7.30, taking the party down the main line to Danbury, arriving there at 10.30, where they were greeted by about 100 of the representative business men of that thriving city. After stop of nearly half an hour the signal was given for start, and the train pulled out over the Danbury & Norwalk Division, for Wilson Point, reaching there about 12 o'clock, where the party was met by Colonel Stevenson and other railroad officials, together with about two hundred business men from New Haven, Ansonia, Birmingham and other places. After spending a short time in looking over the docks and facilities which the company have here, the party boarded the handsome steamer "Cape Charles" and at about 12.30 started for the sail down the sound. At l o'clock dinner was announced, and it was not necessary to announce it very loud nor more than once, for everybody was hungry. The bill of fare was elegant and even those who had "no appetite" could not resist the temptation to eat. After dinner speeches were made by mum Der of the representative men from various places, and Col Stevenson in a few well-chosen words explained the aims and purposes of the managers of the Housatonic system, and the superior advantages it now offered to freighters.
 After a pleasant sail of about two hours and a-half, during which the officials were untiring in their efforts to add to the comfort and pleasure oi the party, pointing out many places and objects of interest, the party were landed at Pier 45, where nearly two ] hours was spent in looking over the immense wharfs and storehouses which the company have here.
 At about five o'clock the party started on the return trip. Lunch was served on the home trip, after which more speeches were in order. The boat arrived at Wilson's Point about eight o'clock, where special train was wait ing to convey the party homeward. Everbody expressed themselves as vel pleased with the days outing, and al came to the conclusion that the Housa tonic officials not only know how te "run railroad" but also know how te entertain their guests"

they were readers or not. This Com
ference proposed to make the cam
paign on high ground and to rely
fully upon the Democratic party
As the address had stated, the differs
ences in the party were too great to-
be remedied by honest, manly effort.
Abuse was not proposed. There
were men in his county who had
done as much as any ono for Stnet
Democracy who believed in this
Tillman movement, but he believed
them to be in a minority. When
we have concluded this campaign
the supporters of Capt Tillman VIII
be, we believe, in a pitiful minority,
but tho Democratic party will have d !
vast majority. We have come here
to do orr duty to the State IN this
emergency. [Applause.] $3s

The Boston Herald has been study
ing the results of the recent elections
AS the result it declares that there
has been no year since the war--not
even that remarkable one of 1874,
which was followed by seventy OF
eighty Democratic majority in Con
grcss-whcn the local elections
showed such steady and sweeping
gains against the party in power as
they have shown in the North, the
centre and the East this year-cv-
crywhcre, indeed, in which the peo-
pie have voted. 1t indicates not
only widespread feeling of dissat-
lsf"ction on the condition of the
tariff, but an emphatic disapproba-
ton Of the course Of President IIar-
rlson, the action of Speaker Reed,
and the unscrupulous effort, as seen
IN The Montana election and in other
instances, to overthrow the influence
of the people in our form of govern
mcnt. The Democratic party never
had more important work to do, nor
more encouragement to enter boldly
upon it.
