assured. That every Republican elector in
every town should be up and doing, we be-
lievc to be a patriotic duty. Let our best men
be selected for official responsibilities and let
no Republican stay away from the Polls un-

A PLAIN TALK-
We copy the following passages from a
communication which appeared in the New
Haven Palladium of last Wednesday :
“ IN UNION Tunas rs STRENGTH.
Messrs. Editors:—There is one lessonlaulfl“
by the late elections, and thatrs, that there
must be a full and hearty union of all the
elements of» the Union party, in order to in-
sure success in our state at the coming spring
electiOn. But men cannot be driven, nor
should the “rack and torture ” be used In
these days to drive men into the support
of theprinciplcs of others.
And here comes the pornt of our re barks,
and we call upon the State Republican Com-
mittee, and other influential men in the Re-
publican party, to see that all obstacles in
the way of' a perfect union be removed. Let
us treat our allies as we should like to be
treated, and our partial defeat of last spring
will give us victory next."
Upon all which we have a brief commen-
tary to make.
There are but two political parties in Con-
necticut, viz: the Republican and the Demo-
cratic. Each of these calls itself “the Union
party." The Palladium writer, in using that
designation, doubtless means the former, and
it is its success which he desires to accom-
pllSlI.
But he informs us that there are men,
whether inside or outside of the party does
it it distinctly appear from his communica-
tion, who are nevertheless its "allies,” and
whom he is anxious to conciliate. He inti-
m ates that these “ allies" will not be “ driv-
en" to the support of certain “ principles,"
which he defines no further than by vaguely
c ailing them “the principles of others " than
the allies themselves; meaning, therefore, as
w- infer, that the principles of the Republi-
e ti party are those which the “ allies ”can-
i t-‘ be driven to support. ‘
We certainly do not wish to drive people,
win-i her our “allies" or not, into the support
1. r of our opinions or our candidates, but
fit“ scrupulous gentlemen ask altogether
t» such of the Republican party, when
iii-'y remand that it should suppress its con-
Vli'lluLtS in order to get their votes. With all
I'Ir'_ ct for the latter, the former are the
m important of the two.
in let us look a little more closely at the
p :r-i made by thc’Palladr'um writer. A
bri.-: sketch of recent history is needful to
its :.r‘l elucidation.
\' the close of the war, in the summer of
151.15 the Republicans or Connecticut, as a
n. were heartily in sympathy with their
p. ;.:ic-.l brethren in the other states. But
'lrr nntehineryof the Party was in the hands

/ onuential memo ,
{pt-gt such a course of tremen- 5
these “ allies " as will remove their discusl’.1:l
and secure their votes next Spring. The ex-
horrutton suggests three inquiries, viz:
Isl—Who are these “ allies ”1
2d ~What is their force ?
31,l-'-\II hat is the treatment expected to se-
cure their alliance?
Taking these questions in their order, we
suppose that by ,“0ur allies," the writer in
the Palladium means the Philadelphia Con-
ventionists of 1866, and their sympathizcrs
in this State. It is their alliance that we
are urged to conciliate,
The force of these allies may be estimated
by the following table:
The highest vote ever cast, to:

Gov. Buckingham was 44 458
Eur President Lin’corn, 44,2391
1 or Gov. Hawley, in 1866. 43,074
For Gov. Hawley, in 1867, 46,578
The discontent of the allies, therefore, did
not detract from Gov. Howley’s vote labt.
Spring, for that was greater than any candi- "
data had ever before renewed in Connecticut.
"I11: great as it was, Mr. English received a
- faddrtion to his vote of 1866 to se-

, votes that he got the preceling yearaud
2,604 more. The “allies," therefore, accord-
ing to the reasoning of the writer in the Pal-
ladium, are, to the extent only of that ma-
jority, to be credited with the clertion of Mr.
English. Their whole force, then, from
the record, is 987 votes. Upon the record
they can claim no more.
What treatment now, do these 987 allies
require of the 46,500 Repub'icans who voted
for Gen. Hawley last Spring ? Are the for-
mer willing to accept of the platform and
candidates of the latter, and luborin good
faith for the common success? If so, we
are willing to let the past bury its differences,
and to forget the bickerings anti heart-burn-
ings which grew out of the events of 1866.
But if the “treatment" required is that
the 46,500 shall submit to the dictation of the
987 in the selection of candidates, or the
enunciation of principles, then we decline
the whole business at the outset. If these
men choose to say, “ we hold the balance of
power, do as we say or we will go over to
the Democrats, and beat you,”—be it so; we
shall live and succecl without them, and we
are tired of the threats of “the balan"c of
power." .
We have no fears as to the future of the
Republican party. We do not expect that
it will always control the local affairs of all
the States, as it has done of late, but, it will,
during the generation which has witnessed
the recent war, control the government of
the Republic itself, in all its branches. The
next President will be a Republican, elected

THE FAIR. i
It is no over statement to assert that our
County Fair which terminated on Friday
last, was in all respects, the most satisfactory
one ever held since the organization of the
Society. Thugrounds possess the rare corn-
hinations of easy access for the vast mum--
tudcs who thronged them, with water and
gas—thOSe prime necessities so frequently
wanting or- other parks—and a topographical
beauty and adaptability, we do not know
equaled anywhere. As we predicted before
the Fair, there was one universal acclaim of
satisfaction with the location, and all concede
that whatever differences of opinion may
have existed as to a permanent location, the
thing is now settled, that in no other way
and at no other point, could the people of the
entire county have been so Well accomrno-
dated and. the interests of the Society more
successfully conserved.
Among the many hundreds of animals
and articles pescnted for exhibition, and
nearly every one of decided merit, it is im-
possible for us to give anything like a just
and adequate review. ,‘We refer the reader
to the published premium lists to make upin
part this omission, but even the list of Pre-
miums, as it inevitably must, will fall far
short of entire justice in runny instances,
owing to haste, errors of judgment and the
cccentricitics of the human understanding.
We think there has been less real grounds for
complaint in the bestowal of awards, than
almost ever before, speaking much for the
on a more advanced platform of liberty and
equality, than any of his predecessors.
shall be glad to have the help of the 987
their hands the Dixons, or Winches-
ters, or Peases, as our standard-bearers, or
to suppress-the utterance of our dearest con-
victions as the price of their alliance.

W“ At the. “weekly town meeting” on Sat-
urday, it was voted to straighten, or rather
continue Eclipse Avenue through from Camp
Street to toe Sticky Plain road, and to dis-
continue the present opened and traveled av-
enue thereto.
It was also unanimously voted that the sc-
lectmen should make suitable disposal of the
water, hitherto inundating the residents upon
Union Avenue, at a cost not to exceed one
hundred dollars. ‘

W The foundations of the new Bank
building are now all up, and the side walls
will be at once pushed forward to escape the
frosts of" winter. When completed it will be
not only the finest building in Norwalk, but
probably equal to any Bank Building in the
State. It will bea credit alike to Norwalk
and the men who are engaged in its construc-
tion.

Good Suggestion.
It has been suggtsted by a number of per-
sons who obtained money premiums at the
County Fair, that the some he left with the
Treasurer for the purpose of helping to con-
struct a Fountain upon the grounds and to
ornament them. As water in great alma-
dancc may be obtained from the hills north
of the grounds, an artificial lake and foun-
tain could easily be introduced into the nat-
ural hollow in the centre of the grounds,
thus forming a most beautiful and attractive
feature. Now that the southeast corner lot,
between the present enclosure and the river
has been obtained, if by any means the field
of Mr. Belts upon the upper end could be
procured, and thus the entire line from river
to rail road and from Silver Mine mid to
Broad River be introduced into the enclosure,
we should have a location unrivaled in beau-
ty and convenience, by any in the County.
-—-—-——~-<0>—o
an Pansoxaon—Thc 2d M. E. Society
have commenced the erection of their Pur-
sonage. The structure is to be placed on the
south side of their lot and will prove a cred-
itable addition to the architectural adorn-
ments of our village. The enterprise and
indomitable perseverance and energy of this
pbople are deserving the highest admiration.
Few churches have overcome so severe dis-
couragements, yet its zeal has never abated.
Although destitute of wealthy members, it
has what is far better, a large and rapidly
growing membership of zealous hearts and
willing hands.

W St. Paul’s Church was re occup’ed on
Sunday last, after several weeks consumed
in a thorough renovation of its interior. The
Venerable pastor preached a discourse suit-
able to the occasion. The enlargement,
though- not as extensive as many would have
preferred, is ucverthless very considerable,
supplying a line offbur seals across the body
of the church, while the chancel is now re-
tired withiu the space of the projected end.
The removal of the old ceiling and replacing
the same with wuod colored beams, with the
new stained glass windows. give the church
agreatly improved and most beautiful ap-
pearance. _ The memorial window in rear of
the pulpit, is a study as a beautiful Work of
art. It rs the contribution, we are told, of
the Misses Margaretta and Amelia B'elden,
as a filial tribute to their parents.
The carpenter work was done by Messrs.
Knapp & Fitch, of South Norwalk, and the
graining (exquisitely done.) by Mr. Charles
Smith, one of our young and growing artists.
Three large reflectors pendent from the
ceiling, replace the old gas fixtures. The
upholstery has been tastefully replenished—
anr] all in all, as rehabilitated, few neuter or
really prettier churches are to be found in
New England.

WWO have a. descriptive account of‘ the
two new car palaces, the artistic creations of
Mr. George Platt, architect, of this town, and
ordered by Legrand Lockwood to be put on
Michigan Southern route. We shall try and
give it place next week as an evidence of our
local quality.
We‘
in giving to him the electoral vote of Con- E
nccticut, but. we cannot consent to accept at r
fidelity and disinterested service of the mem-
. bers of the various Committees.
Before entering upon any detailed refer-
ence to the matters that especially engaged
our nitration, we wish to accord to Mr. Jon-
athan Camp, President of the Society, the
honor and praise we know to be eminently
his due, for the preparation of the grounds,
the buildings, the track, and all else upper-
taiuing to the exhibition. Limited in time,
he has labored incessantly, with a fidelity
and zeal few men bring to bear in behalf of
their own private interests. Others aided
' and did what they could, but it was Mr.
Camp who “organizedvictory," and the So-
ciety and the public cannot over estimate his
services. Chas. Plumb, the Secretary, labor-
ed most indefatigably during all the week.
With courtesy toward- all, and fidelity to the
Society‘s interests, his appointed assistant
failing to report for duty, he was about the
hardest worked man during the continuance
of the Fair, engaged in the Saciety's service.
This overtaxing of any one officer, is wrong,
and in justice to Mr. Plumb, some onelcrwwn
to be willing to act as assistant and residing
near the grounds—now that they are perma-
nently located—should be appointed at the
next annual meeting. Mr. Bartram labored
incessantly in his vocation as Marshal, while
our old friend Brothwell, adhered to his tent
with his wonted fidelity. The various Din-
. ing Tents were kept busy, and seemed to ac-
commodate the appetite necessities of the
people in all respects, save that of liquor,
which We are pleased to say was commend-
ably scarce.
Tuesday, was busily occupied in receiving
and adjusting articles for exhibition in the
Hall.
Wednesday opened gloriously, and from
early dawn to quite noon, the grounds were
being throng‘ed with cattle, sheep, swine and
poultry. Such an array of really rare and
choice breeds of cattle, we have not seen
surpassed by any State Fair of the past.—
'I‘he blooded herds of Morris Ketchum, Esq,
of \Vesipnl‘l, C. Spooner, Esq, of Bridge-
port, Dr. Turner of Wilton, were exceedingly
fine and meritorious. Nothing in the way of
an exhibition of horned cattle has ever
equalled this in numbers or quality. But
one train of working oxen was entered, and
these comprised most of the best cattle in
town. Wilton, Redding, Ridgeficld, West-
port or Greenwich, could easily have beaten
us had they tried. ~
The display of sheep, was also exceedingly
fine, and proved a growing interest in that
department—Mr. Blakesley exhibiting some
of enormous size.
Some very fine specimens of the swine
family were present, but they were numer-
ically few, as were t.ir human prototypes.
Thursday, was given up almost exclusive-
ly to the Horse, as well it might have bean.
The p .ir of matched chestnuts owned by Dr.
Parker, of New York, were not surpassed by
any family team at Springfield, in the per-
fection of their matching—identity of size,
color, step and appearance. There were a
dozen other double teams, that would at any
ordinary exhibition have been awarded pre-
miums. To us, this evidence of a growing
interest in, and improvunent of our breed of
cattle and horses, is one of the best omens of
the Fair. There were also large numbers of
very fine single road andjamily horses. The
mares and colts were very fine, but did not,
except in a few cases, denote that general ad-
vancement apparent in the classes of road
and family horses. One two year old Harn-
bletonian Colt, belonging to Mr. Chas. Ketch-
um, of Westport, attracted general admira-
tion. Mr. Bfakesley’s “American Prize,"
among stallions, secured to be accorded the
lead in popular favor, as in speed. He'is
certainly a very fine animal and exhibits a
prooigious stride when moving.
Friday, was divided between the trotting,
ball playing and annual address. The racing
was quite interesting throughoutthe day, but
t e closet and most exciting contest came
off just at evening, which the horsepf Wm.
R. Nash, won, after a desperately contested
struggle.
We were particularly pleased to observe
many owners of trotters driving their own
horses. Mr James Smith, of Stamford, and
C. M. Kelchum, of Westport, were conspicu-
ous in this reform, trotting their horses, as
any gentleman may and should. If there is
anything entirely disgusting to a genuine ad-
mirer of the horse, it is the modern fashion
of allowing some vagabond rowdy to go
swearing, yelling and thrashing about attack
like a wild savage. For one, we thus pub-
licly extend the thanksef all decent persons
for this most commendable reform.
The Society is especially indebted to Messrs.
Morris Ketcbum, Oliver & J. B. Hoyt, Le-
grund Lockwood, and the Wakeman Broth-
ers, for the extent as well as merit of their
various contributions. We are personally
indebted to Mr. Ketcltum, for a liberal divis-
ion of his large and lucious hot-house grapes.
His gardener may well feel proud of the dis-
play he was able to make. John Ryan, gard-
ener to Oliver Hoyt, again laid us under ob-
ligations for specimens of his exquisitely fine
productions in the same line. But for Mr.
Ryan, our frtrit and vegetable show would
often prove deficient. Whenever he appears,
success jn these departments is assured.—
Long may he live to attend the Fairs. Hen-
ry C. Randle, and the Wakeman Brothers,
also are entitled to our grateful acknowledg-
ments, for out door culture fruits. Mr. Na-
than Seely has left with us his basket of
Daniel Webster corn, which took the first
premium for its extra weight. We stand
ready to distribute for seed, to any one dc.
sirous of testing its quality.
I. M. Bullock, Esq, of Norwalk, delivered
the opening address, and Rev. Mr. Benedict,
pf Fairficld, the closing one.
The Exhibition Hall was densely filled
each evening. Another will have to be erect-
ed next year, if this exhibition is any augury
of the future. It is estimated that ten thou-
sand persons, and over one thousand carri-
ages warc on the grounds at one time, on
Thursday. The grandest part. of the show,
after all, was the vast concourse of men, wo-
men and children. Really, the most attrac-
tive and valuable exhibition in the grand
hall, was the case of Ladies' Sacque Cassi-
mcres, exhibited by Chas. C. Betts, President
of the Nor-walk Mills. There is but one
other factory in the United Stutcs,turning
out these exquisite cloths. _
A fine exhibition of Architectural Designs
was tirade by Lambert do Bunnell. Whitney
Jr Beckwith had a Photographic display wor-
thy thc Paris Exhibition. A novelty in the
way of a safety rein for ladies and child-
ren‘s use, in riding or driving, was exhibited
by the patcntee, Mr. Hull, 01 Stamford.
Douglass dz Mead, had a tempting case of
candies. Curtis, (10., Gent's hats, and Miss
Bucl, of Ladies do. Legrand Loekwood's
gardener,“ come thirty rare 'c‘xoti'c‘frnits and
hot house plants. John Ryan, a‘ rare and
beautiful "Cissus Discolor." Wellman, had
pictures, music, sewing machines, drc. The
Floral display was very fine.
Au artistic c-..tting of flowers and figures
in card board was suspended from the wall,
as were also some exquisite specimens of
Penmanship by Mr. H. B.Wilkcs, who opens
a class of instruction in the upper rooms of
Gazette Building this week. John S. Jones,
of Westport, had some very fine specimens
of canned fruits; they surpassed in variety
and nicely anything ever before seen at a
county Fair.
The Weed Sewing Machine exhibited by
the Norwalk Agent, Mr. Parker, attracted
much attention. The specimens of Sewing
were unique and extremely well done, run-
ning from a. paper fabric to leather near half
an inch thick with the satire needle and
thread, and without change of tension. It
was awarded the first premium for its sim-
plicity and its good working. Blackmau
had his Melodcons and Organs in full vocal
chord, and several sizes of the Empire Sew
ing Machine worked by an experienced ope-
rater.
Outside the Tent and Hall all sorts of nov-
elties greeted us. The one of greatest prac-
tical utility, perhaps, was the farm and field
gate exhibited by H. G. Sofie-id, Esq., of
Stamford. Its simplicity and ,cheapncss
commends it to favor. Next came a Teth-
ering device for' posturing animals in grass
plats. Then a May spreading machine,
which beats all the kicking colts in the coun-
ty. The inevitable “swing” elevated old and
young at ten cents ahoist, but there were
no impossible fat women or horrible “suaix”
shows to disturb or discredit the enclosure.
The Danhury Railroad did itself a good
service and the public a greater one by run-
ning frequent trains to and from the Fair
Grounds at a very low fare, without an ac-
cident. Indeed, no casuality occurred du-
ring the whole Fair, so far as we know.
Lieut. Gov. Hyde, Ex-Licut. Gov. Averill,
T. S. Gold, of Cornwall, Mr. Lindsey of
Meriden, (owner of Pathfinder), and many
other distinguished personages from other
parts of the State and County were present.
The Base Ball Championship of thc' Coun-
ty was attained by the South Norwalk
“Alert” Club. They thrice nobly contested
for the'prize and were awarded the Silver
Bali. .
The $300 purse was not trotted for. $50
and $30 purses were offered. The following
were entered. Prince, a sorrel horse, owned
and driven by Mr. Chas. Ketchum, of West-
port, Hickory, entered and driven by Mr. S.
Snifi‘en of Danbury; a black mare Owned
by Mr. F. “W. Pond of Stamford ; Lady Hun-
ter, owned by Mr. F. C. Taylor of Bridge-
port ; and a sorrell owned by Mr. Chas. D.
Chapman of Fairfield. The first premium
was handsomely won by Prince. Time,
2:47 3-4, 2:46, 2:451-2. In .the afternoon a
trot of double teams w s contested for three
premiums of $75, $50 and $25. The entries
were by James D. Smith, Stamford; Chas.
D. Chapman, Fairfield; John H, Keyser,
Norwalk ; B. Manson, Stamford. Condi-
tions; Fastest time; three heats. - The first
premium was awarded to Mr. Chas. D.Chap-
man. Time 2:51 1-2, 2:09 1 2, 22561-2. The
second prize was awarded to Mr B. Manson,
Time, 3:02, 3,13 1-2, 3:02.
Various scrub races were improvised to
the evident delight of all. The weather was
charming, the track and grounds all right,
the people satisfied and the depicted Treas-

Black Polands, considering them the finest
trio of fowls in the collection, but refusing
them a premium on account of the owner's
name being attached to the coop.
Also a diploma to James C. Smith, Nor-
walk, for a pair of Black Bantams
Also to John Elwood, Norwalk, for two
coops, having more than three fuwls in each,
and consequently debarred from competition
as a trio.
The Committee would also recommend
that all fOWls in future, be required to be ex-
hibited in baskets or conps of uniform size.

then two of the winning clubs on Thursday
afternoon ‘and finally the winning club of'
rust game and the odd club on Friday p. m.
Owing to a misunderstanding as to time, we
believe, the Monitor club failed to appear at
the spec:fi.-d hour, and the game was given
to the San Souci. Subsequently the Moni
tors appeared but did not play a formal game.
In the afternoon the Liberty and Forest clubs
played five innings, when the game was dc-
clared in favor of the former club. We givo

At 3 o'clock, the Alert club met a picked
nine from Stamford, and it was thought by
many that the “tug of war had come]? but
after playing five innings, the Stamford boys
cried “enough," and retired to the shades of
their beautiful village crest fallen. The fol-
lowing is the score :—

At night the Corn. again drew lots, and it
was decided that the Alert and Liberty clubs
should play Thursday afternoon. As these
were universally acknowledged to be the
leading clubs, the interest centered outthis
game. We intended giving a full report of
this game, but our space forbids. ‘ Tire Lib-
crty club first Went to bat, and scored 2 runs;
the Alerts followed and their first striker was
put out on first base, but they succeeded al-
St) in scoring 2. The Liberty boys scored 3
on next innings, and~ the Alerts were white-
washed, three being put out in succession by
Campbell and Chauncey. The thirds in nihgs
the first two strikers were put out in succes-
sion by C. Hatch and Byxbeemrakiug five in
succession by ss. and lstbase. Jake Gru-
man reached 3d base and in running in was
put out on borne base, it being a close thing.
The Alerts made 2.
The fourth innings Liberty seared 7, and
it was conceded by all would prove victors.
Geo. Chauncey made a handsome home run.
The Alerts scored 4. Fifth innings Liberty's
scored 2 ; Alerts scored 3 and next three
strikers were put out. 6th innings, Liberty
scored 1. Here Quintard’s strength gave out
and the "Alerts had pretty much their own
way till the last innings, hitting most every
half. C. Hatch struck a ball finely over in-
to line of carriages making a home run. The
last innings Liberty scored only 1, when the
When the Alerts took the bat Quin. put the
ball in with a rim, pitching splendidly, put-
ting two strikers out in succession. Foulkes
made a home run, and next man was put
out, closing the game by a score of 37 to 23.

The result was unexpected to most bf the
spectators, and while the Alerts contested
the game splendidly, playing their best, it is
due to the Liberty club to say that they went
into the field with a patched up nine, and
their catcher and pitcher both on the sick
list. Still they accept the result without
complaint, and hope for better luck next
time. This was their first defeat this season.

played six innings, the Altrls winning the

of this Borough arc to chose their officers

system to be totally inadequate to our wants,
yet we leave it to the candor of the honest,
thoughtful, tax'paying portinn of the dune-

for our money, and whether it be not time
for a change in the ticket. We are no stick-
