BURIED IN CALVARY.
The Monitt Family Became Catholics .

The Montt Family Became Catholics .
 Generation Ago.
 When Dudley Mofitt died at the Stein- meyer hotel Saturday morning 1t was believed he had no near relatives in this country and arrangements were made for his burial in Riverside cemetery Sunday afternoon. In the meantime friends in this city telegraphed to his lrother in Manchester, N. H.. and yesterday morning the latter, accompanied by his son. arrived in this city and called on O. O. Chambers and stated that the dead m.n was a Catholic and that he should be buried in one of the Catholic cemeteries. Mir Chambers very gracefully yielded to the request and the remains were at once removed from the hotel by Undertaken York to the residence of John Mccarthy, 154 South Leonard street.
 In conversation with a reporter of the DEMOCRAT Frank Moffitt said that he came to Water bury in 1S47 and worked for some time in the East Brass mill. His brothers George and Dudley. and two sisters, Isa- bella and Eliza came later. The family was originally Protestant but he said him. self, George. Dudley and Isabella were among the first converts to the Catholic faith in Waterbury and were baptised in the old Catholic chapel on East Main street which then stood on the present site of St Patricks hall. The other sister. Eliza, never changed her religion. She re- turned to Ireland several years ago and married a captain in the British army. Many years ago Frank, George and Isa- bella removed to New Hampshire where they have since lived. None of them. he said, went back to Professionalism and while his brother might not havebeen very practical member of the church he never heard that he had abjured it and on this account thought he was entitled to burial | in a Catholic cemetery.
 The funeral took place at 10 o'clock to- day with interment in Calvary cemetery. The pallbearers were William Banpop, John Dwyer, James Fitzgerald. Anthony Carroll, Thomas Hanley and John Me Carthy.
 There is much speculation as to how much money the deceased was worth When his sister Isabella visited him about a year ago he is said to have informed hel that he had S13. 900.
 Mir Moffitt said his ancestors wnet ovtl to Ireland from England during the early wars between those two countries. Hi mothers name was Fitzerald. one of thu "Geraldines." and it is the proud boast oi Mir Moffitt to be able to trace his geDealog, to such famous Irish rebels as Lord Ed ward Fitzgerald and "Silken' Thomas.

That the Tariff is Used Political Foot

Editorial in Wilmington Messenger Aug.
22nd 81
We are assured by distinguished
member of the Congress that there
are lot of Democratic newspapers
and politicians who have been shout
ing for tariff reform who really did
not want any tariff bill passed b.
cause they knew that as soon as this
question was out of the way the
money question, would come to the
front. lie writes, and it Is instruc-
tive, that "noted Goldbug member
of the House from New York, said
in the lobby Of the Senate that il
was better for the Finance Of the
country that the tariff legislation
should be defeated because when
that question is out of the way the
South and the West will unite on
silver" The same able gentleman
saws he is "for silver and financial

money question is at the bottom OF
all our trouble, and that it is fal
more important to the great body OF
our people than the tariff question

The Hon. W. r. Henry was billed

At twenty minutes past one O'Clock

House to hear him and found
the gathering consisted of

But soon the crowd began to gather
around the Court House to hear this

chance and didn't give us free coin

was astonishing to behold the crowd
and when we stood up in front of

We actuly numbered four. Speaking
was postponed until night. Hand
bills were struck off and circulated
over the town announcing the speak
ing to take place at night. At nigh
the bell rang, but few responded, II

it was the fire bell and by actual

II is healed The Populist Party. =
1t contains extracts from the nation
al Republicans campaign book and
goes on to try to show how much

! pie 5 Party and the Republican party.
The Democrats are certainly IN a
bad way. one day they swear that
the R"pubIcan party has swOllWed
the Peoples Party and there is no
ditft renee in them. The next day
they swear the Peoples Party has
swallowed the Republican party.
They found out that neither one of
these lies would work and now they
have gone to work to show how
much difference there is between
them. | hope they will send on,
more of thest circulars because they
help TO verify the very thing we have
said all the time. That is. we are
as much opposed TO the principles Of
the national Repub lean party as We
are to the principles Of the national
Democratic party. But if the Re
publIcans We're IN power IN this State
ami We're using ''bull pens" anC

we would co operate with the Dem
