War on Ouigg,


Some OF the leading Republicans in
New York State wish to retro Ely5Qugg
from the leadership Of tho party. 1t is
said that in order to accomplish that OBJ.
ject, they will abolish the County Com
mittee of which ho is chairman. His
laundering in the Mayoralty campaign
disguised the Republicans and they think
his retirement will prove a benefit to the
party. Seuator Plat will have to he very
careful or the Republican party will pass
Into minority, and Croker and Hill will
dictate the policy Of The State. When
men have SO little foresight as was shown
by tho Republicans in thor management
rs to convert u big majority into minor.
lty in few months, they need not be sur.
prised if tho people should grow FESTIVE,
and demand that they should retire and
allow their places to BIO filled by wiser
man

MARRIED AT LAST.

"A Courtship Begun Forty Years Ago
 Finally Consummated.
 A wedding with a decided tinge of romance took place in Willimantic Thursday night, and as all the world loves a lover, the affair created much interest. The bridegroom is George>E Raymond, very successful business man of Brooklyn. N. Y, and formerly of Dayton, O., and the bride is Mrs. Ellen Trowbridge, who is well known in this section for her activity in wo- man suffrage and w. c. T. U. matters.
 The marriage was the consummation of a courtship begun forty years ago. The newly welded couple, who are now yerging on sixty years of age, lived in their early days in New Canaan They loved one another and a proposal of marriage was made, but the parents of both objected, owing to the youth of the parties. The match was broken off and Raymond went west. He was married later. His present wife was also married She became widow ten years ago, and he became a widower three years ago. Recently their early courtship was renewed and it culminat- ed in the marriage.
