But, although earnestly devoted to Re-
publican principles and ardent in debate,
Mr. Peters had no personal enmities, and
never intentie nslly wroi line or uttered
q word Of unkiDd personality. Appeal
to reason and not to passion" was his
constant II junction TO the younger writers
on his stsff. "Vituperation is not argu-
ment, and sarcasm directed against the
weaknesses or foibles Of an opponent
may smuse your foolish friends, but Ii
will never win you q vote from your oppo-
nents." He was vehement in denuncia-
ton of opinions and doctrines which he
believed to be detrimental to the COM
munity, but he had the largest tolerance
and charity for those who entertained
opinions the most Numerically opposed
to his own. And as it was In politics, 90
it was in all the relations of life. The
capacity for entertaining or cherishing
personal malice or private grudge seemed
wholly absent from his nature, and he
was always resdy to befriend even those
who had misrepresented or wronged him
without hint or apparently even q
thought that he was returning good for
evil.

AN EXCURSION UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

AN EACURSION UNDER DIFFICULTIES
The Down Town Euchre club went to
South Norwalk, last Thursday evening,
as the guests of Mrs Lawton OF Elmwood
avenue ia that city. The Stratford MEM
bers of the club gathered at the corner
of Stratford avenue at O'Clock in the
afternoon. After a wait of 10 minutes
they boarded car and arrived in Bridge
port, where they were met by the mem-
bers of the club who reside in that city.
They waited here for % minutes for a
through car for WestpOrt, and found that
it was necessary to make change at
Southport, as no cars run through from
Bridgeport. Westport was reached In
due time and hurried walk across the
Bridge revealeda the fact that another
walt of % minutes was necessary before
a Norwalk car would arrive. The party
took possession of an Ice cream and con-
fectionery store near by and set in to en-
joy themselves. A car finally came and
the run to Norwalk was soon made
Then another wait OF 20 minutes was
necessary, to get car for South Nor.

reached at 10 o'clock, just four hours
time from Stratford. A splendid time
was enjoyed, but the return trip wa:

crush out all honest rivalry and honest
difference of opinion In the party ranks,
and his constant ideal in municipal affairs
was the elimination of national partian-
ship from their conduct and the combin-
alton Of citizens without distinction of
party for the management of the business
Of the city. As the election of 1880 sp-
preached, and Cenkling, Logan and
Cameron developed their plans for the
denomination of Gen Grant, the Jealous
patriotism of Mr. Peters took fire at once,
and he devoted himself with unspsring
energy to the task of arousing public
sentiment to the danger involved in any
departure from the precedent set by
Washington, which made two terms the
utmost to which any President could be
elected. He opposed the reelection of
Conkling and Plstt to the United States
Senate in 1881, and his wrath was fierce
and fervent when Garfield was struck
down by the bullet of the assassin in July
Of that year. But his absolute indepen-
dence, his contemptuous indifference to
every consideration of self-interest where
cor science ard principle were involved,
were never more strikingly shown than
