The Democrats and Their Opportr

The Democrats and Their Opportu-
nifty.
Yesterdays Hartford Coursnt says: The
democratic party of this state is now prac
tically committed to what its leaders face
tiously call constitutional reform" 1t is
really Unconstitutional reform, for it pro-
poses to reform the constitution in way
other than, that which the constitution
provides. -. = --r...',s--
But call 1t constitutional reform If you
will. Whatever it is, it has no chance of
taking any practical shape before the next
general election! It's advocates propose to
change the representation in the towns in
the lower house of the general assembly
and to make population the determining
factor of how many members the town
shall have, and for this purpose would
hold constitutional convention instead OF
| attempting constitutional amendment
along the prescribed line of procedure.
The republican house will, of course,
refuse any such measure and 30 this ses
sion, If it ever does anything, will al
least not do that. We shall go into 1885,
| with that matter as it now is. Many
| shrewd observers believe that the demo
cratic leaders have fomented the presen
state troubles for the sake of blaming
them upon the constitution and trying t.
discredit it with the people. Their whol'
attitude is one of opposition to it.
Very well now, as we have said befor
and shall often have occasion to say again
if you really believe what you say, gentle
men, just proceed. You think fair rep
resentation of popular sentiment is no
| secured by making up a body as ofr lowe
house is made up. Then make up you
state convention, in order to have it fair
on some other basis. Make it mp as yo1
think the legislature should be made up
Show the people of the state what yo1
would do if you could by doing what yo'
can where you can do as you choose. Pu
your so-called convictions into practice Ant
let the people judge of them.
If the democratic party does not dare t
do this, then it shows its own lack of faitl
in the acceptance of its scheme.

Later Plans of the Grays for Hts

A meeting of the Grays was held last
evening at the armory and after practice
drill had been INDUCED in, the various
committees having in charge the arrange
ments for the ssventy-ffth anniversary of
the Grays reported that excellent progress
was being made along all the various lines,
and it is safe to say that the affair will in
all ways be one of the most pretentious
and enjoyable ever held in this city.
All the former members of the Grays
are invited to be present at an informal
reception to be held in the armory on Sat-
urday evening next.
The ladies of the city are invited to con-
tribute flowers for the decoration of the
graves, which will occur on Sunday
Flowers intended for such purposes can
be left at the armory Saturday afternoon
and evening or Sunday morning, or if
parties who are willing to contribute flow

committee who will take the flowers to the
armory. g.,

1t is desired that all veteran Grays and
friends send floral contributions for the
memorial services to the armory not later
than p. N. Saturday. Those who cannot
conveniently send to the armory should
notify Sergeant G. D. Nicoll, who will
send for their offerings. Several children
of the public schools have promised to
send flowers for the memorial service, and
it is expected that a generous contribution
will be made by children not yet heard

Arnlory Notes.

The New Haven Grays held dress pa
rade last evening to prepare for their out
door procession next Monday afternoon.
Captain Brown made remarks of consider
able length on the proper order to be OBJ
served on the day, and the men were put
through a severe drill to fit them for their
coming duties.
The regular winter drill of the Govern
or's Horse Guards will commence next
Monday evening, when a full dress parade
and inspection of the company will be
held. The semi-annual horse parade of
the Guards occurs towards the close of the
month. Members are already discussing
to what place the next trip will be taken.
1t is probable that Stratford will be the
town selected for the company's fall visit.

Notes of Interest.
HARTFORD, Sept. 9.-The convention of
the League of American Wheelmen was in
session last night from o'clock until af-
ter 1. Many important changes were
made in the constitution, but only two
are of general interest. A new definition
was adopted as follows:
Article III, Section 9-Erase all after
the first paragraph of the section and sub
stitute: An amateur is one who has not
engaged in, nor assisted in, nor taus hit BIZ
cycling or any other recognized athletic
exercise for money or other remuneration,
nor knowingly competed with or against
professional for prize of any descrip-
ton; or one who, after having forfeited
his amateur status had had the same re-
stored by competent authority having
jurisdiction over the sport. Ia "a g., s
IA bicyclist ceases to be an amateur by
y7(a) Engaging in bicycling OF other recog-
nized athletic exercise, orr personally
teaching or training or coaching any per
son therein, either as a means of obtain
ing livelihood, or for wager, money
prize, or gate money.
(b) Competing with professional, or
making pace for or having the pace made
by such in public or for prize.
(c) Selling, pawning, turning into cash or
realizing upon any prize won by him.
(d) Accepting directly or indirectly for
bicycling any remuneration, compensation
90 expense whatever from any other per-
son interested in the trade, or from any
other person having an interest in the
sport, except from his bicycle or, other
athletic club, for necessary travelling and
training expenses 'sS''f
(e) A bicyclist does not forfeit his anna
teur status by teaching the elements of
bicycling solely for the purpose of effecting
the sale of BICYCLE 49,
The other important amendment was
one permitting state divisions to admit
clubs three quarters of whose members be-
long to the League of American Wheel
men. Under the old constitution all the
members must be members of the league.

Dor To-Day.
BR1DaEpoRT, Sept. 9.-The White squad
ron, consisting of six gunboats and three
torpedo boats, dropped anchor shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon about three
lighthouse. The party on board the Oar;
ing were soon alongside the flagship and
paid their respects to Admiral Walker.
They quickly ascertained that death had
occurred on board one of the ships. One
of the sailors on board the Chicago, named
Harry Oaks, aged ffty-one, was killed in
Portland Monday. He was terribly crushed
by one of the ships boats falling upon him.
1t was the desire of the captain of his ship
to have the body buried on shore. Mayor
Marigold volunteered to take charge of the
arrangements and was sent ashore in one
of the government launches He obtained
a burial permit and secured a grave. The
body was brought ashore, accompanied by
a squad of sixty marines and the ships

The reception committee arrived in the
harbor at $3.50 with this information: The
squadron will remain here until Friday
forenoon. The general public are invited
to visit the war vessels from 1870 to
o'clock tomorrow, and will be received on
board. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the
electric search lights will be displayed, af-
fording a splendid sight from Seaside. At
80 tomorrow Admiral Walker and all the
officers will come ashore at the Rosedale
wharf and be taken in carriages by the en-
tertainment committee to the George hotel,
where shore dinner will be served.
The steamer Albert j. Hoyt will make
hourly trips tomorrow from the foot of
Pembroke street to the White squadron.
By this and other means of transportation,
private and otherwise, Bridgeporters will
have chance to visit the ships, the size
of the vessels making it impossible for the
ships to enter the harbor. The squadron
is about four miles from the dock.
