The resolution which would ban women from entering taverns caused considerable discussion with the delegates lining up as '1ibsrals," and "conservatives". The conserva-. tive group favored the ban, but opponents felt that under the law at present tavern owners are sui. ficiently discriminated against wlth- out adding other restrictions. The vote showed both sides deadlccked, with 87 votes each and the deciding vote was cast with the liberal fac- ton by Ryan, who acted as chair man on the motion.

Gen. Washington Issues Statement EulOgizing.
 Gallantry of Troops
tBY JOHN BARR)

On tl.is page is reprinted Gen. eral Washington's own offlcial ac- count of the historic Midnight Crossing of the Delaware and capture of the British Hessian troops at Trenton, at Christmas time l60 years ago.
 Our last Wednesdays article on the same subject told of the man. ner in which the Waterbury folks-At-home received the News" of that highly important event in their newspaper, "The Connecticut Journal and the New Haven Post Boy," published weekly in New Haven and distributed in Water bury and vicinity by the enter prising Post-Boy. Thomas Hick- COX, Jr., who rode his route on horseback.
 :. The paper of January 1, 1777 Gust a week after the evenD brought the first brief account: the next weeks paper carried the details that the folks were so eagerly waiting for-and on Jan- uary 22nd Thomas Hickcox Jr. and his patriotic pony brought his cutomers the very, identical &C., count by General Washington which is reprinted today on this page, and is worth cutting out and pasting in your historical scrap-book.
 The reader will notice that following the custom of the time --Washintgon used capital letetrs more freely than we do to-day; and that whenever he speaks of ."the People" or of his "Men"-re- ferring to his troops-he always began the words with capital let- tors. You will note, too, his fine praise of Officers and Men, viz:
 "In justice to the Officers and Men I must add, that their Be- haviour upon this Occasion re- fleets the highest Honour upon them. The Difficulty of passing the Rive in very severe Night. and their March through violent storm of Snow and Hail, did not

 It would be a mistake to draw any nasty conclusion, applicable to the whole list of the missing.
 Senator Glass, for instance, is under physicians orders. Some oth- CTS are plainly out of sympathy with their present party leadership, and it IS the common understanding among politicians that still others have been asked to remain as silent as possible.
 The sum total, however, is im- pressive. The campaign of 1886 is almost as notable for the silence it has provoked in some quarters as for the noise it has stirred up ir others.
