Phelps, the following extract is interest
ing
''The founder of the Phelps fortune was
John Js Phelps, journeynan printer, who
worked in Hartford. He was a tall. fine
looking young man, with large piercing
eyes and unusual power of countenance.
Having become acquainted with an
other young man Of similar ambition,
these snarb Yankees came to this city
and established the dry goods house
of Emo & Phelps. Emo was the best buyer
in the trade. and Phelps was the best sales
man. They became Ilch and dissolved, and
each. began operating in real estate with
great success. John J. Phelps also engaged
in coal speculation with immense profit, and
though he was not an old man at the time Of
his death, he left half dozen millions. Emo,
on the other hand is still alive, and is max
ing money faster than ever. The chief rep
resentative of the Phelps estate is William
Walter Phelps.-Iroy times.

UNDER THE WHITE BANNER OF
PEACE AND UNION.

The letters of Messrs Baker and
Matlock indicate q disposition on the
part Of these respective chairmen to
promote union, harmony and cooper
alton Of the Democratic party. This
is certainly good news to the party IN
the state. We are very glad to see
that these gentlemen have heard the
voice Of the masses of the Democracy
and have gracefully yielded to the
inevitable That, however, may he IN
perfect accord with the feelings Of
these committee chairmen, and now
the only necessary factor for prellm
mary settlement of all the differences
between the two wings OF the party, is
manifestly supplied by the acqui'
essence of these gentlemen in the Will
of the Democratic party. 1t is now
time that elimination and recrimlna'
ton between the wings OF parllzans
should cease; it is time that all former
differences should be buried, and with
one heart and one mind the Demo-
cracy OF the state unite about the
affairs of their country and under the
white banner of peace join in the
great work before them, both in state
and national politics.
Il The destiny of the Democratic party
in this state and this country is too
great to permit minor differences and
petty jealousies TO ALLEVIATE one Demo-
crat from a full cooperation with the
whole party. The destiny and pur-
pose of the Democratic party are to
lift the great burden Of taxation from
the soulders of the working people OF
this country, and to establish tair
and equitable method of raising rev.
enue to support an economically adj
ministrated government. For the
first time in many years the Demo-
cratic party is in position to accom-
plish this most desirable and devOut-
ly hoped for object and it were the es-
sence of folly to permit anything to-
disturb the harmony of party action.
Let us then forget all the jealousies
and hard things that have been said
one of another, and with the grand
object of peace and union move in
solid column, one and indivisable, on
to victory, but fret let us conquer our
selves. Let US restrain our personal
FATALITIES, and attempt to select rep
resentative men as candidates who
will excite the least factional opposi-
ton, men 30 true to Democracy and so
high in popular regard as to be above
factional criticism.
