Those who woke up this morning ex-
pecting to see continuance OF the fine
warm weather OF yesterday we're much
disappointed There was no diminution
OF the heat, but rain fell 50 heavily that
the cutters were full and in some pisces
unable TO carry of the water. Through
out the forenoon there was no abatement
in the rain fall which sometimes would
fan in gusts and soak the unfortunate
pedestrians who happened to be out or
doors. The streets were well washed bY
the rain and the rivers were greatly
swollen. The rainfall at / o'clock this
afternoon had reached 26 inches.

ing to the Republican theory,
preside over the Senate in place of Mr..
Alshop, the legally elected Lieutenant
governor. After Mr.. Merwin has played
at lieutenant, governor, the Republican
iugglers expect to have him declared
governor. The conspiracy of the
Republicans to keep out of office FIVE
legally elected State officers must renew
the efforts of the Democrats, and,
we should think, of all fair-minded
men in Connecticut, to have the state
constitution amended, A plurality and
not a majority should be sufficient to
elect state officers. The Inequalities of
representation in the Legislature should
be removed The determined attempt of
the Connecticut Republicans to steal the
governorship has resulted in the
present practical division of the
Legislature into two hostile Legisla-

election of the Democratic state officers,
and the House which has been taking ex

Bror, "a or naryoU refaallne.

Ideas inspire and courage
commands. This is Leader
ship. 1t is equally true of
military, political, scientific and
trade life. A true ideal bet
tiers even the retailing of small
things. Grand retailing, like any
other great effort, demands a
clear mental image and firm
execution.
This great business has been
evolved from these notions.
The success has depended up.
on our fidelity to a policy of
principles and your conception
of them. To clear the air be-
tween us and you, that our work
may be understood, is the aim
of much of our advertising.
Novelties and bargains are the
evidences of all this,as the bril-
liant pyrotechnic fire. cirling
in the darkness, proves that a
strong and solid wheel sustains
the revolutions.
Complete notions of retail
ing touch life at many points.
The retailer who meets only one
set of thoughts or one circle of
the community is small and
narrow, holding the trifle of a
single interest so close to his
eye that the broad expanse of
human needs, material and as
thetic, is entirely obscured.
One dealer sees only the
brilliant side of the community
that seeks and can affords and
is willing to pay for novelty
and the first fruits of Fashions
season; another looks only for
the careful and prudent, who
seek to get the largest comforts
from narrow resources; another
centres thought upon people
of taste and leisure who, with
out definite aims, wander about
ready to take that which at
tracts the eye or pleases the
mind; another strives to tempt
only the eager bargain hunter.
The human classification
might be extended indefinitely,
and for each some correspond,
ing dealers would be found.
But our advanced thought on
retailing says that all merchan.
disc needs must be united in
one common system if each i;
to get the best. Argus eye:
for all the community, discern
ing, combining, adapting har
moniously all interests is the
outlook that brings the largest
service, the best economy.
This touches especially
the Mid-winter Merchandise
Movement. 1t is why urgency
expels goods that tarry, and
the sharp move in quick buy
ing and quicker selling brings
the rattling bargain. while,
amid all, the strong tide of neaO
things rises to the flood.
Does it not also explain why
the period that lately was con
signed to dullness. becomes SC
brightly active with the glac
New Year? And don't you
see how the ideas that find re
cital here and reflection in tht
store, large and ample, come
echoing back from other col
umns and distant townsp
We're not too modest tC
claim our due, nor too narrow
to accord it elsewhere.

tending thereby to assert the right and to an.

to claim TO perform the duties Of said Office Of
lieutenant governor by the said Merwn ceased

before recited, and any attempt by the said
Merwin 10 resume the duties Of said office viii be
an act Of surpation against which the senate will

Senator Pierce in vigorous speech
scored Gen. Merwin and Governor Bulke-
ley, and cited the constitution to back up
the position OF the Democrats through the
whole struggle Abiding to the holdover
governor, he said: AS to Mr.. Bulkeley, it
appears that there is an attempt to lead
the people to believe that the senate is in
revolution; but the senate has performed
its constitutional duty, and it is only fair
to thar excitable gentleman to say that the
senate will keep in the constitutional line,
and no deputy sheriffs will be necessary.
The senates action leaves it clear to the
people that the gentleman by the name OF
Bulkeley Is pursuing revolutionary
course and not the senate"
This called out fire from the Repub-
