New Haven, Conn, who has been a
regular summer visitor in Brattleboro
several years, died at his home in New

age. Ex-Gov. Harrison was born in

Yale and was one of the organizers of
the Republican party in his state. In
1865 he was a representative in the
Connecticut legislature, where he
made an elaborate speech in favor of
