OUR ELECTION !
Only Two ‘Weeks More for Anion.
The Republicans Of Connecticut never
had a more glorious opportunity to secure
the popular verdict of “ well done goodjand
faithful servants,” from _the loyal men
throughout this broad land. It is our op-
portunity to wipe out the disgrace of New
Hampshire and show that the patriotic fires
which burned so brightly beside every Re-
publican hearth stone during the war, are
still blazing with zeal and ardor for the right
and for those principles for which the dear
boys died upon the battle-field. Our candi-
dates are all in the field. Governor Jewell
has no superior as amodel, christian gentle-
" man. Our Lieutenant-Governor, our Secre-
tary Of State, Treasurer, Comptroller, candi-
date for Congress, and Senator, are all men
for whom it is a delight and an honor to us
to labor.. And now afull acts is all that is
required for their election. Shall they not
have it? THEY VERILY SHALL! Forward
the column !
Our Congressional Candidate.
In the HON. GEORGE COFFING, the people
of this Congressional District have an up-
right, self-made man, of the best type. He
is a zealous Republican, and will,if elected,
always be found at the post of dug:3 aiding
in the carrying out Republican asures.
Acting in unison with the Republican ma-
jority in Congress, he would be far more
useful in securing those appropriations and
special acts of legislation, our District so,
much needs. His Opponent, Mr. Barnum,
could not, if he were disposed, and should
make it a point to remain in his seat for two
consecutive sessions, prove as useful to his
District as would Mr. Coding, and this,
Democrats as well as Republicans, fully un-
derstand. We shall have a chance to see,
therefore, how many there are who prefer
party to the best interests of their State and
country. Mr. Barnum boasts that he does
not care a fig for the Democracy, that when
they get tired Of electing him they can leave
him alone, and we presume he speaks just
as he feels. Mr. Cofiing does care for the
Republican cause, and will do all in his
power to advance its principles and subserve
the wishes and interests Of his constituents.
He is a man who may always be relied upon,
and is always to be found at the post of duty.
In Litchfield County, where he is known
thoroughly and well, no man stands higher
in the popular esteem. An earnest and
zealous effort, and every Republican vote
”polled, will secure his election. Shall he
not have it? We along the shore line, have
not- haoso cogent reasons for years for
electing the man who can be most useful to
us in 'securing our much needed river and
_ harbor appropriations. 'Let all who desire
such, vote for GEORGE CorriNG.
Our Candidate for Senator.
The nomination of ASA B. WOODWARD,
as our candidate for Senator in this District
is an earnest of success. Mr. Woodward
has for many years been the law partner of
Senator Ferry, and is well and favorably
known throughout the 12th District and the
State, as a lawyer of thorough acquirements,
and a gentleman of unsullied reputation.
No man in the community enjoys a larger
share of popular appreciation and esteem.
He is a sensible, prudent, capable and thor-
ough Republican. Unostentatious, unas-
suming, of quiet dignity, urbane and com-
teous in manner, he is, nevertheless, thor-
.oughly in earnest in all good words and
works. The Democracy could not have
more completely contrasted qualities and
qualifications. We accept their guage Of
battle, and are willing to await the pop-
ular verdict and preference for virtue, ca-
pacity and personal deserving, for their re
verse. The two candidates need only to be
judged by their own standards of self-ap-
preciation, and the influences exerted by
themselves in the community, to determine
the choice Of any independent, conscientious
voter. ' '
EThe Prussians have left Paris, but
did not leave Peace behind because the

New Hampshire.
The election in the Granite State has re-
sulted in the complete triumph Of the De-
mocracy. The Governor, Legislature and
all three Congressmen. This was caused
mainly by the overweening confidence
growing out of seventeen years of unbroken
success and local bickerings and distractions.
Connecticut now has the chance to nobly
lift the disgrace of New Hampshire. . All
eyes are turned upon us. If Jewell and our
candidates are elected, loyal men _ every-
where, will rejoice. If otherwise, the other
sort will be made happy.

Mussns. EDITOEs.——A certain swaggering
would-be politician, holding for the first
time a minor office in our town, and a dele-
gate to the Democratic Senatorial Conven-
tion which nominated the Hon. Mr. Woody
as Senator, had the impudence to assert, in
a certain place in this town, (after all
the insults given to some of our best and
most honest adopted citizens in the late
Borough election,) that such things “Would
be all right and heal themselves.” Does he
think that there is no manhood in them? or .
that a man like himself, or the “Ring ” he
is a tool for, can govern or control respect-
able Irish men, or compel them to vote for
any Of the nine who constitute the so-called
(by them) Democratic Party 1’ We urge

At the conventions, Thursda , the Repub-
licans nominated Asa. B oodward for

Didn’t we say so ? Haven’t we mamtaiued
ever since the “declination" of E. A. Wood-
ward, lately published in the Sentinel, the
peruhtcnt“decliuation” that it was nothing
but a “blind i” We understand that his “de-
clination"was so heroically persistent that the
convention had to wait upon him in a body
and humbly beseech ofhim to accept, which
he finally did, lust as he intended all along tO
do. The who e thing was understood long
ago, fellow citizens, and was designed to ter-‘
minate just as it did—Independent.
W The Independent editor having been
so recently in the confidence of “Woody,”
we cannot doubt but that he speaks from
“personal knowledge.” Indeed, the fact is
verified by the statement of delegate Craw,
in 'the Convention, that “ b a recent con-
versation . held with Mr. Woodward, the
gentleman intimated that ‘ he would consent
to run if the nominatibn was FORCED ON
HIM." “ Adorable Sal," shrieked infatuated
Jonathan, " Wilt then be forever mine 7”
“Just come me pretty, and you bet I will !”
quickly responded the eager Sally. But
is n’t this nonsense of “ declining” getting a
little nauseating?

23' Here is another story of infant pre-
cocity. A four-year Old son of Mr. P. P.
Coe, Of Madison, was out with another little
boy from Norwalk, trying to fly a kite.
They tried every way they could think of to
get the kite up, but without success. Finally
the Geo boy clasped his little hands together
in the attitude of prayer and with charming
simplicity and earnestness said, “Please God
send us a little wind to get up my kite.”
Gough’l Lecture.
The ovation’the people Of Norwalk gave
to this renowned orator, last week, con-
trusted strangely with the first engagement
he indulged in hereabouts, Our older read-
ers will recall the vigorous efforts made by
a certain clergyman to keep him out of his
pulpit. We also recall his total “collection”
of $3,49 and nearly all in coppers, in a
neighboring town, for a similiar lecture to
the one given here the other night, and for
which he can receive $200 a night as long
as his strength holds out for its delivery.
The Young Men’s Christian Association are
deserving the public gratitude and support
for their liberality and enterprise in securing
Mr. Gough, and the popular appreciation
was fully rendered in the jamming Of Lock-
wood’s Hall, as it never'was crowded be-
fore. '

WThe Borough authorities are laying a

‘gem,’ pushing out into the railroad track,
opposite Ely’s Block, must be either quail
traps or whited sepulchres.” Well, settle
it among yourselves, it makes no matter of
difference to us, which way it is decided.

tiful City should be thus marred by archi-

Asa B. Woodward, an honorable lawyer
Of Norwalk, is the republican candidate for
the senate in the 12th district. He is in, all
respects such a man as the best citizens
ought to support. His competitor, Elbirt
A. Woodward, the present senator, is a hire-
liug of Tammany, who took up his residence
in Norwalk two or three years ago with a
considerable amount of wealth acquired in
the‘public service, Tammany fashion. His
character is in all respects what might be
expected. Tammany is generally supposed
to take considerable interest in the fellow
and he is considered in training for other
offices. Some unpleasant developments are
said to have made him unwilling to take
the nomination this year, but it was crowd-
ed upon him. When .Connecticut becomes
willing to give Ofiice to such men it ought
to be annexed to Five Points cistrict.
