ion succeeded in getting the aldermen

printing not exceeding in amount the
sum of 81 900 bear the union label. The
order was observed for season or
two, but as time rolled onward and
new men came upon the scene they
4 forgot that such vote ever had been
been passed or Winked at it purpoSely

i ed to ask the reason why. 1t is prob
able that the matter will be brought
to the attention of the present board

rectors have not agreed upon what
] name it will bear, though 1t seems to
be generally understood that when
they get to it they will be governed
by the wishes Of the men who own
most of the stock. 1t is said that if

talked so much about and for all one
can tell at this time it may be The
| Trumbull.
