WILLIAMS IN NAUGATUCK
George Fred Pays Glowing Tribute to
 Alexander Troup.


 Naugatuck, Sept. l6.--A democratic rally here tonight was addressed by George Fred Williams If Boston, who spoke on the platform of the demo- cratic party In general and in partic- ular on that part which has reference to the guarantee of savings banks de- posits against loss In the course of his remarks he paid glowing tribute to the late editor of the New Haven Union, Alexander Troup. He said that his remarks would have particular significance as his coming to Naugatuck was the last request of his late be- loved friend He said: "I cannot speak without emotion of the man who above all others has upheld me in my political work In the past twelve years.
 There was no man in New England whose devotion to Mir. Bryan and the principles of the democratic party were more unswervlng and untlring. He believed with the faith of zealot, he fought with zealot's strength neither weakness nor illness could stay him from his mighty devotion, and 1t was his good fortune to die as he did, in the midst of his efforts and in the assertion of his principles.
 In closing Mir. Williams said: "In this mans death we have lost one of the greatest patriots. one whose life was as consistent as be was consistent to the political principles which he had upheld for more than a genera tion."
