The m anufacturers of Castoria hahve been compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to familiarize the public with the signature of Chas. H. Fletchehr. This has been necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeiting the Castoria trademark. This counterfeit ing Is a crime not only against the pro- prietors of Castoria, but against the growing generation. All persons should be careful to see that Castoria bears the signature of Chas. H.

Parents and mothers in particu- lar ought to carefully examine the Castoria advertisements which have been appearing in this paper, and to re- member that the wrapper of every bot tie of genuine Castoria bears the fac simile signature of Chas.

Not to be Allowed In To-day's Conven-
 tion.
 Bridgeport, Sept. 2O,-Alexander Troup, the present chairman of the sil- yer party of Connecticut, last evening declared that the silver men who con trol the old organization of the demo- cratic party would make a fight on the committee on credentials to turn all the gold delegates who have been elected out of the state convention, which open- ed this evening in this city.
 Among the gold men who have been elected to the convention are 10. c. Benedict of Greenwich, former Repre- sentative R. J. Vance of New Britain, former Mayor Hyde of Hartford, George M. Gum of New Haven, one Of the ablest leaders of the democratic party, and MT. Burr of Hartford, another par ty leader.
 Some of the delegations are all com posed of gold democrats. These men have consistently refused to have any thing to do with the party so long as the silver men or Mr. Troup and his friends were in control of the party or ganization.
 Without the gold men the silver dem ocrats can gain nothing, and the gold men have made it so hot for MT. Troup that he had announced that he will resign his position as chairman of the central committee. He adds, however, as a parting shot that he has not in- vited the gold men to come to the state convention and that he and his friends will throw all the gold men out of the convention. The gold men are equally determined, and as they represent the brains and wealth of the party the fight is certain to be hot one. By some it is believed that this will be the end of free silver in Connecticut, but it is doubtful if the gold men can swing the convention their way, owing to their small number as compared to those who fear to do anything that is not regular"
 | The only candidate who has been prominently named for the office of governor is former United States l Treasurer Daniel l.. Morgan of this city. Mention has also been made of the name of Joseph B. Sargent of New Haven, the party's gubernatorial can- i didate two years ago. The other places on the ticket have not been widely talked of, and these as we'll as the nomination for governor are to- ! day to be found in the realm of uncer- i tainty.

A personal" CAMPAIGN.

So long as Mr.. Sewall permits his
organ to accuse President Dole Of
cowardice and disloyalty to the United
States-charges that involve even in
fanny and crime-he must expect that
those who do not regard Mr.. Dole as
a candidate but a personal friend, will
not hesitate to resent the indictment
with more or less vigor. The Adver
tiser for the period OF four months,
during which period Mr.. Sewall had
been candidate, studiously refused to
make any comment on his actions. 1t
had intended to allow him to make his
campaign in peace. When, however,
his organ persistently challenged the
Advertiser to campaign of abuse, and
set it's keynote to the words coward
~fce,'' @'disloyalty," Bringing and
1'wavering," the Advertiser, with much
reluctance, undertook to meet this
campaign of personal abuse, as best it
could. 1t is a repulsive affair. But
even the Quaker will use his fists when
assaulted.

The Advertiser Will publish tomor-

the action taken by President Dole's
Government regarding neutrality. II
will contain matter which has hereto
fore not been made public. Those who
desire to understand the history of the
event, and desire also to preserve a
correct historical record of it; and
those who in the interests of justice,
insist on the truth of history regard
less of men or candidates, should OBJ
tain it, preserve it, and send it abroad
to those who have always believed that
the action of this Government towards
the United States, was bold, loyal and
patriotic
