. A MOST ENTIIUSIASTIC ASSEMBLAGE.
The Republican State Convention held at
New Haven on: Wednesday last, was one of
the largest and most enthusiastic assemblages
held in this state since . the close of the war.
’ As was repeatedlyobserved, “ the old guard

earnest determination to maintain the princi-

the New Haven House, and a most spirited

serious. 0n convening the. convention, the
Hon." J on. T..,Waite was called to the chair,
and spoke substantially as follows : ' '

every dollar that could be raised by taxatlon
or voluntary gift was required to furmsh

stood firmly by the administration of that
noble patriot—Abraham Lincoln—and re.
elected him by a commanding majority when
the sympathizers with the rebellion declared
the war a failure, and were ready to yield to
the imperious demands of southerntraitors,
and submit to the overthrow of the govern-
ment and the disruption of the Union. _
The speaker then referred to the indications
of the campaign, and said that it was. evident
that the Republican party of Connecticut
were awake to the vital importance of the
coming struggle, and ' were determined to
secure the citizens of the republic, without
regard to race or :"color, the, advantage ob—
tained’ by the. terrible conflict through which
we have 'sorecenuy pmsed. .
He thought'theapproachingelectionequal-
ly important in its results with those of 1864,
1868 and 1872, and believed the Republican
party were destined .tocontinue the control
of the affairs of " the' nation, and that the
people would not transfer to the hand of
apologists of the rebellion the control of the
overnment. In closing, the speaker entered
into a scathing review of the past record of
Samuel J : Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks,
as private citizens and public men, and con-
trusted their action with that of Rutherford
B. Hayes‘ia'n’d William A. ~Wheeler.and closed
by say‘lu’glthat if :the grand work that has
been commenced here to-day is prosecuted
with energy and heartfelt earnestness till the
setting of; the sunon the first Monday in
November next, victory will alight upon our
party banner, Connecticut will be redeemed
from democratic ascendancy, the State ticket
which we nominate to-day will be chosen,and
a triumphant majority rolled up for the elec-
toral "ticket that ' will cast the vote of 'Con-
necticut for Hayes and Wheeler.
Mr. Waite was loudly applauded on the
conclusion of his remarks.
Ex-Mayor Sterling of Bridgeport, Daniel
Crosby of Danbury, f and J Ira Scofield of
Darien, were appointed fi'onfll‘airfield County

retaries, with one Vice-President from each

Mr. Jewell, on taking the chair, made an
address reviewing the situation. Thanking
the Convention, he said : You are called
upon to nominate State officers for the first
time since the change in the Constitution re-
quiring biennial elections to he held in' the
autumn. It is a matter for great congratula-
tion to the State that this most needed change
has come at last. The actio'n'of this Conven—
tion is important, not onlyhfrom the fact that
the ofiifceij to‘he‘elected'this fall are to hold
their ohi’cesaforrtwo years instead 'of one as
has been the case heretofore, but because our
election is to be simultaneous with that of a
President, one of those quadriennial epochs
which markth‘e progress of the, Republic.
The Republican party is this year directing
its attention more to the character of candi-
dates than to the platform on which they
stand. The demand for pure administration
is more marked than at any previous ' time
in our history,- and the Republicans of Con-
uecticut should see to it, as I doubt not they
will,that their nominations are fully abreast
of the highest requirements of the times.
Withsueh’f grandma. ,and with a full vote,
I haircunojioubtuof ourisuc'cess.
Among your other duties is that of mail
uating electors to cast the vote of this State
in the electoral college. The question as to
which party shall cast this vote is of import-
ance paramount even to the State election,
but the two will doubtless go hand in hand.
The matters at issue this fall can be nar-
rowed down to a small compass. Almost, if
not
this coiniuy 3.11311 take uli‘fin‘i label: cameste
ness the question whether we shall perma-
nently have an irredeemable currency or not,
and whether we shall prepare ourselves at

as to wheregth'e Republicans “of ‘ Connecticut

Connecticut—Jstandoll‘that question- They

State, had they money to pay in the future,

quite the first in importation is"; whether"
or had they any important; change to make in
their business, or some policy to initiate,
would fix a time to do it, and when the time
arrived would act promptly upon that resolu-
tion. No corporation, or company, or busi-
ness firm in this State would hesitate for a
moment on a question so clear as this ; if
they found it necessary to change their plan
of operations, or their manner of doing busi-
would name a time when the
change should occur, and would at once he-
gin to prepare for the emergency. That is
the dictate of common sense, of business, of
propriety, of all the rules of action in all
financial affairs, and yet the candidates of our
opponents, and our opponents themselves
confess in words and deeds that the best way
to resume is to have no particular time to do
- it in, but as Mr. Tilden said in his letter of
acceptance, “when wise preparation shall
have ripened into pcrfect‘ability to accom-
plish the object with ease and certainty."
Another thing the Republican party is
called upon to doat this coming election is to
place an administration in power which will
protect the rights of all our citizens in this
oroad land. TheRepublican party will not
have fulfilled its mission until it shall be as
safe for any poor. down trodden colored man
to legally deposite the vote of his choice in
any ballot box in this country, as it is for a
Professor in Yale College.
A better organization of our civil service is
demanded. Integrity, fidelity and ' capacity
should be the rule in selecting officers to ad-
minister our civil affairs. Governor Hayes,
our candidate, has been a leader in this re.
form movement. 0f him all can be expect-
ad in this good work. Governor; Jewell
spoke of 'anothCl great necessities of the
Limes, and asked only for a just comparison
of the We candidates for the" White House._
A recess was then taken and the Congres-
sional districts assembled to nominate Presi-
dential clectors,and the Senatorial districts to
appoint members of the State Central Gom-
mittee. -
Upon the re-asselnbling of convention Hon.
Stephen W. Kellogg stepped forward and in
. eloquent words nominated'ex-President Wool-
-scy to head the electoral ticket. The an-
nouncement of 1 President Woolsey's name
elicited a storm of applause. Mr. Kellogg
spoke of Mr. Woolsey as one whose name
had been honored throughout the land and
over the earth wherever international law
was respected and valued as a promise for
whatever is best and highest in politics.
Augustus Brandagec, of New London,
gaining the floor said, I-want to second; he
nomination, sir. I have not been consulted
onlthis matter, and therefore Ican speak
from an honest, pure heart. I want to sec-
ond that nomination and all that it imports.
It is the most fitting nomination that could
be made for the 500,000 people of Connecti-
cut. [Applause] I do not mean that New
Haven shall take all the credit of that nomin-
ation. Icheerfull follow in the wake of
my friend from aterbury, but it is too
largeauame before the. country. and the
world for New-Haven to appropriate solely.
I endorse it from the eastern portion of our
State from the Massachusetts State line to
the waters of Long Island Sound. (Applause)
We are standing on the dividing line between
the centuries, and we may- throw away in
the centuries to come our goodly heritage.
ButI believevthe Republican party is our
only hope. of preserving the institutions
handed down from. our» fathers. It' is the
lope of the future, and the hope ,of lovers of
liberty the Iworld over to-day. This nomina-
tion speaks more than the platform, more
than the demo'craticparty letter. I care not
for the juggle. of p atforms. I know how
they are made, by w0rd mongers and rhetor-
icians. {Our party does; more than all. It
puts forth the brightest, purest, ablest name
-on all this broad'land of ours. It has not
been bobbed and fished by the politician. . I
accept it as an omen of victory, a promise of
reform. (Applause) Let me say to our
New Haven friends, it is for us ,of eastern
Connecticut to shake hands with our New
gHavenifrieuds, .‘and, Hartford and. Norwich
does the same. They have met and kissed
each other. (Great. applause). Yes, gentle-
men, we are beneath the same old fiag
(Renewedapplause). Men present at the
cradle of the party are rallying around the
party now as of yore (applause), and here-we
mean to stay. We mean to make this party
the depository of Republican liberty for all
ages. I dare not commit this government to
five hundred thousand graves at the South to
the heels of those men whoplaced them there.
Every soldier’s . grave is a legacy to the
members of the Republican party, and, sir,
inmemory of those five hundred thousand
who went down to death—some were our
fathers, some our brothers here, bythc mem-
ory of the debt for which «earth, air, and sea
are taxed today to pay theinterest and retire
the principal, by the memory of those who
suffer by vacant hearth-stones we come to-
gether to the altar of Republican liberty and
reconsecrate ourselvesfor the work. (Great
applause). ‘The speaker followed with a
glowing and eloquent. tribute to Marshall=
Jewell, whose name was now to be presented -
for the, second place on the electoral ticket,
his impassioned words exciting tumultuous
applause. _ . ’
The nomination ' of nex-Pres'ident -Woolsey
was ratified innid‘ applause, and then the
name of Marshall Jewell ,was formally pre-
sented, another scene of tumultuous. enthusi_
asm ensuing. Hon. James G. Battersou, of
Hartford, presented Mr. J ewell’s name in an
able and telling speech, which excited renew-
ed enthusiasm.
Hon. Cyrus Northrop seconded the nomin-_
ation, speaking for the republicans of New
Haven. The gentleman from New London
was right in saying that the name and fame
of Woolsey were honored everywhere, and
they could not belong to any one part of the
state. Sb with the name 'of Jewell ; it be-
longed to the'wholestate. We love Marshall
Jewell. for what he is, for his services in the
past, for his genial good-nature; and by
placing him'astheman of affairs upon the
ticket,-.with .President .Woolsey as the man.
of thought, we offer a ticket which means rc-
form in somefllin gmore [than .words‘, in the
living hearts and 'ves of the men themselves.
At the close. of his eloquent remarks Prefes-_
sor Northrop, put the motion. 7 All the dole-
gates rose in theirseats and voted, - giving
three hearty cheers for Jewell and a republi-
can victory in' Connecticut. . ,
The president thenproposed three cheers
for MrgBatterson and-Professor Northrop,
“who could make very good speeches on a
po'olr subject." They were given with a
wx .
The nominations for electors were then
made, as follows :
AT LARGE.

av DISTRICTS.
lst District—George Maxwell of Vernon.
2d District—John Allen of Saybrook.
' 3d Dietrich-George Fulton of Windham. .

Judge Minor then addressed the convention-
In 16 years he had not attended such a love
feast as this, and the rc-union of hearts from
all sections was cheering, gratifying to the
soul, and promised happy resultso'n next No-
vember. He rejoiced at the spirit manifested.
and closed by presenting the name of Hon.
Henry C. Robinson and the other names upon
theiti’ckct last year for re-nomination, by ac-
clamation as a whole. He paid an earnest
tribute to the worth and high qualifications of
Mr.’ Robinson as the gentleman named again
foerhefirst place on the ticket. ' ' >
Mr. Maples of Westport objected to put-
ting the motion. The] ticket 'had' been de-
feat'pd last spring, and was not the ticket
which would unite the republicans of Fair-
field county. [Hisses] Gentlemen might
hiss, but the figures would attest the truth of
Ibis remarks. (Three cheers were given for
Hon. Henry C. Robinson and the rest of the
names on the ticket.) At the last convention
a chance to object when the nominations
were made was not given.
[Here much confusion prevailed, when the
chairman insisted upon order, so that Mr.
Maples might proceed]
,5Hon. S. W. Kellogg, .'who was chairman of
>the last convention, rose and denied that no
opportunity to object was 'given,‘ saying he
distinctly remembered putting the question,
“ is there objection," and waiting for objec-
tionto be made.
. Mr. Maples then withdrew the accusation,
saying that he was conversing at the time,
and the opportunity passed before he was
aware of_ it. He thenfsaid'at' thelc'aucus the
evening before, Tilden had been condemned
as a'railroad wrecker, and Henry C. Robin-
son was a director and paid attorney of the
Consolidated road. He charged the defeat _of
the Parallel railroad was due. more to him
‘of his eity.
than any other man. The ticket proposed
will not, carry Fairfield county.
[At this point some outsider, sadly inebri-
ated, who had struggled into the convention,
walked around to Maples and with a most
comical expression seemed to be imploring
him to desist. The scene was so ludicrous
that the whole convention broke out in a tu-
multuous roar of laughter.] Maples stated
“ he didn’t know who the loafer was,” and
proceeded to say that the democratic majori-
ty in Fairfield county had increased from 600
to 2,200 on account of Mr. Robinson‘s nomi-
nation.
Judge Minor saidamattcr had been brought
into the convention, which never should ap-
pear in such a gathering. The charge made
was false and infamous. “No man.” said he,
“has been more prominently identified with
the parallel road project than I have, and no
one has done more to injure it than this man
[Maples] has. Every. one knows he has been
bought and-paid for over and over again.
Look at lliinl There he sits without a bluSh.
He is too infamous to blush.” [This was ut-
tered with a tone of indignation and empha-
sis that would llavc made a brazen image
wince] Judge Minor continued: “If Mr.
Robinson is personally opposed to the Paral—
lel road I do not know it, and I don’t know
a respectable man in Fairfield county, who
would be influenced by this matter in voting.
A more noble, high-minded and faithful man
than Henry C. Robinson is rarely met. He
is not. to he cried down by such a man and
such charges." [Applause]
Mr. Maples said he defied Judge Minor to
show that he had ever received ouc cent, di-
rectly or indirectly, from a railroad. He was
the only editor in the State, who paid for this
commutation ticket and paid \his fare on all
the railroads. [Cries of ”That’s what’s the
matter with you."
Mr. Batterson, of Hartford, said Mr. Ma-
ples had evidently come to the wrong conven-
tion, yet if what he had said of Mr. Robin-
son was true, it was only the strongest proof
of-his great ability as an attorney. He elo-
quently defended Mr. R. as a man of unsui-
lied honor and integrity, and regretted that
any such personal issue should have been in-
troduced. '
Mr. Brandagee said Maples had made a
mistake; he had come to the wrong conven-
tion; his convention meets next week,
[Laughter] He paid a glowing eulogy to
Henry C. Robinson, and gave attribute to Joe
Hawley, who had rocked the cradle. 'of the
. Republican party and b'arcd his breast to reb- .
e1 bullets. All wanted to hear him ‘ speak.
What has been said about Mr. Robinson’s do
featiug the Parallel railroad scheme was only
a tribute to his masterly ability as a-lawyer..
Here was a great democratic corporation
which passed over all the democratic lawyers
in the State and selected Henry C. Robinson,
a young lawyer of the Hartford bar, scarcely
yet reached the meridian of life. Henry C.
Robinson was one 'in whom nature might
stand up befor'c’all the world and say, “Here
is a man. ” (Great applause) 'Mr. Waite hav-
ing withdrawn his motion,:Mr. Brandagce
moved that Mr. Robinson be nominated by
aeclamation, and after that, all opposed, be
invited‘to stand, “till he is counted !” [Loud
and derisive laughter.] . .
On call of the first vote all rose in the af-J
firmative but Mr. Maples, and when those op-
p05ed were asked to rise and stand till count-
ed, Mr.‘Maples alone stood up.
Governor. Jewell declared the nomination
of Mr. Robinson, and the remainder of the
old ticket was then,on motion of Mr. Waite,
re-uominatcd. amid demonstrations of ap-
plause, including three rousing cheers for the
ticket. The disgraceful proceedings inaugu-
rated by Maples intensifying the enthusiasm.
Democratic hands. 1 08111101? deliver thondthhe State Central Committee was selected
and authorized to elect an executive com-
mittee of eight. Benjamin Wright, of
Greenwich, is the member from this dis-
district.
Cries arose from all parts of the house for
Hawley I Hawley I and General Hawley
coming forward the applause became deafen-
ing. Three times three were given for “Joe
Hawley” at call of Marshall Jewell, and then
“nine more all together” on top of that.
General Hawley, bowing acknowledgments,
came to the fore and spoke for about half an
hour, presenting an informal speech full of
-_his usual power and vigor, hoidin the atten-
tion of his hearers and frequently interrupted
by bursts of applause. He supposed this
welcome was because he had been one of
those pestiferons Black Republicans from the
beginning. From the beginning be had
stood with it, and was now in most hearty
sympathy with its principles. Individual
character was not viewed by single isolated
acts, but by the. general course of life. That
was true of a party as a party. What was it
that made the record of Theodore D. VVool-
sey ? It 'was what he had said, written,
thought and done for the last fifty years.
It is the same of parties as of individuals
He said the Republican party was willing to
be put on trial for what it had said and done
for the last sixteen years. The Republican
party was proud of its record. Compare it
with the record of our, opponents for the last
sixteen years, and judge you between them.
He traced- the record of the Republican party
from 1860 to 1876. Our friends, the enemy,
and our friends the Independents have said
very truly ,that individual character must
weigh—people scrutinize more closely the in-
dividual character of men for public position
than they did before the war. It was a hope-
ful si ti. Examine the character of Ruther-
ford . Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. We
have nothing to fear from the contrast. Take
Mr. Hayes’ record. His record for moral
character stands unchallenged. He is an
honest man, an honorable man, if any such
man walks the footstool. Early inthe prac-
tice of his profession he was made the lawyer
When the war broke out he
went with the rest to the field. He had the
good fortune to be.wounded four times, to
have his horse shot under him four times.
He was sent to Congress, made Governor of
the State, and had the good fortune when
men were looking for a man to lead the state
at a time when the question of negro suffrage
was agitating the loyal people as the only
way ‘of. protecting the black man at the
South, to be called to the head of affairs. It
required moral courage to step to the front.
He was theman for the crisis, and they
nominated Rutherford B. Hayes, (applause)
and he accepted the situation and beat Geo. .
H. Pendleton. (Applause). They called
him againto run against as strong a man as
there was anywhere in the west, and I am
not sure but he was the strongest, Mr. Thur-
man, and though desirous of retirement he
was prevailed upon and was successful.
And then when they wanted a brave, strong,
full-sized man, to run against the great f0
trumpet Allen (laughter and applause) an
inflation, they called upon Mr. Hayes to lead
them again, and he ran successfully against
the third presidential candidate. ‘ (Applause).
Find afiaw in his record if you can—find a
dishonorable instance from his boyhood up.
(Applause). I don’t like to deal in personal-
ities, but our friends, that is our enemies,
invite the test. Samuel J. Tilden is called
a very able, shrewd lawyer, spoken of as a
master of management, and having accumu-
lated great wealth. He has been what his
friends call him, we don’t invent the word, a
“railroad wrecker." Tilden has been resort-
ed to in the cases of grasping railroads in the
West where the bondholders froze out the
mortgage holders, called in by the Credit
Moblller when they wanted the advice of a
great lawyer to know if it would be safe to
proceed in the great scheme of fraud. Such
a man as Tilden would take to the White
House the worst kind of political surround-
ing—the worst even sctn in'Washington. I
look upon the campaign as the most desper-
ate, dangcrous assault upon the White House
ever ma e in the history of presidential strug-
gles. They sa thatTildcn’s money went all
through the oath and West to buy his
nomination. It has nevcr’been controverted.
I have it second hand that $5,000 went to
advertise him as a candidate in the form of
brief advertising puffs, the same as they
advertise Vinegar Bitters. Is that the way
the presidential office should be treated ?
Democrats say that if it costs $1,900,000 out
of $2,000,000 Tilden will spend it to secure
his election. After further remarks on this
topic General Hawley looked upon the can-
didacy of Samuel J. Tilden as the most
dangerous assault on the Presidency. He
alluded to Tildeu’s .letter of October, in
which he spoke of the slender thread
that held the States together, and that
the general government had no right
to coerce a acceding State. He next touched
dishonesty, and duplicity in its treatment of
upon Tilden’s “ peace" record in the conVcn:
tion of 1864, where the war was declared a
failure. He said he did not wish to dwoll
upon Tilden’s income tax, he would wait fur-
ther developments. *
He next discussed Tilden’s record on the
financial question, claiming that he had sur-
rendered to the Western inflationists; that
the letters of acceptance of Tilden-and Hen-
dricks appeared simultaneously with the re-
peal of the time for resumption by the House
of Representatives. He spoke at great length
on the reduction of the debt by the Republi-
can part , and of the placing of the $300;-
000,000 oan at 45- per cent. The debt had
been reduced under President Grant,.426,-
000,000. The figures spoke for themselves.
The interest had been reduced $30,000,000
per annum. There were claims.rebcl claims,
to the amount of about $400,000,000 which
ex—rebels would demand should be paid as
soon as they felt that they had the power;
The cotton tax item would amount to about
$60,000,000. I oppose a return of tliiSjeleL
ment to power, therefore. I oppose it that
there may be free speech and free ballot in
the South. Republican rule will do more to
secure an honest, uuintimidate'd ballot at the
South than legions of bayonets. ‘ What had
the democrats done by way of economy 3
Chicfly the placing of noble men in our navy,
many of whom fought for the flag in'the
thickest of the fight, on a pittance of pay.
It was pitiful and niggardly. The speaker.
with other effective words awakened applause.
The Committee on Resolutions now report-l
cd through Mr. Fessendeu, as follows:

The Republican candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, delivered a forcible address before a
very large audience, last Friday, at St. Al-
bans, Vt., in the course of which occurred
the following eloquent passage:
“I have no purpose here to-night, my
friends, to recall the memorable conflict
through which this nation has passed, and
which made American arms forever illus-
trious; but let us never forget the obligations
resting upon us to secure the results of that
,great conflict for ourselves, and for those who
come after us. Never, my friends, were
these obligations more apparent and impera-
tive than now. We are already engaged in an-
other confiict with the opponents of the party
which saved the nation, and which to-day
protects its integrity and guards its honor. As
in 1860, we are once more, my friends, face
to face with a united. South, with the demo-
cratic party in the North as its subservient
and pliant ally. In every latc slave State in
the Union where this Confederate party is
dominant,it claims and may receive 130 votes
in the electoral college. It has complete con-
trol of the lower House, and the balance of
power in the Senate. There is not to-day
in those late slaveStates any man holding
: a prominent position who was not identified
* in the great struggle against the Government.
Not even in the state of Kentucky can you
find a man in any position whatever who was
not engaged on the rebel side. . This is the
condition offlthe South today. I have sat
by which it carried the nation in' triumph?
through the perils of civil war. _ , I
It declares that the lesson taught -'by theI
late rebellion must be honored in the policy
and conduct of our government, and indig-
nantly protests against the unblushi'lig'hvow.
al by the democratic leaders of theories“of
state sovereignity, which the legitimate pa-
rents of ,the infamous attempts at secession,
and the immediate cause of the terrible ‘ war
through which the republic has passed, and
against the outrages of fraud, intimidation
and violence by democratic politicians in the
reconstructed states, upon the free suffrage
and citizenship of the people of those states.
It declares for reformation in the civil ser-
vice and in the administration of all public
offices as set forth in the letter of acceptance
of Rutherford, B. Hayes, for economy and ‘
retrenchment in public expenses ;. for the
speedy resumption of specie payment, and
the prompt fulfillment of the obligations of
the g0vcrnmeut written upon its paper cur- é
rency, and protest against the repeal by the
democratic House of Representatives .of the
clause'of the law of 1875, for the resumption
of specie payments in 1879, to‘ which the ua'-" 1
tional faith is ple ed, and by whose repeal
the national faith s dishonored.
- It declares for generosity and good will to
the people of the south, for harmony and
peace throughout the land,but protests against .
rewarding with honor and emoluments the
services of rebellion and treason, and insists
upon the protectionof every citizen in the
exercise of his civil rights-as guaranteed in
the amendments to our. constitution. '
It declares its unqualified love of law and'
liberty, its Welcome to improvement and pro-
gress, and seeks for its supreme objects the
comfort and elevation of the people, and the
preservation unstained of the national honor.
In matters of state policy it declares for.
economfy. and simplicity, for the encourage-
ment 0 industry, for a universal system of
unsectarian education secured by legislation,
for short legislative sessions, for general laws
and against special legislation, for the limita-
tion of municipal indebtedness and public
appropriations to the legitimate objects of
support by taxation, against bribery and cor-
ruption at elections, against bargains and
trades in appointments, and for reduced ex-'
penses and lewer rates of taxation. '
It charges the democratic party with sub-
servieucy to the men who have but just laid
down their rebellious arms; with evasion,
the financial' question; with studied insult to
the Union soldiers; with an utter disregard
of the honor and fair name of the re ublic,‘
and with the purchase of power in tlus state‘
by bribery and corruption at elections.
It charges that the democratic party is true
to its record in roposing for chief magistrate
of a restored nion, a man who withheld
from the friends of that Union his sympathy
and support when the nation’s existence was
in peril, and, as a model reformer, a man who
reached his first political prominence by asso-
ciating with the most unscrupulous politicians
who ever disgraced our land.
It accepts and most cordially indorses the
platform and principles of the party as estab-
lished by the Cincinnati national convention
and in the nomination of Rutherford B.
Hayes and William A. Wheeler for president
an vice president, it finds assurance of the
elevation to these high places of men whose
lives and records and letters of acceptance
furnish a guarantee that the principles of the
party will be enforced in the administration
of Our government.
It declares that President Grant is entitled
to our thanks for his patriotic services to the
country, and his name will be deservedly en-
rolled among the honorcd sons of the repub- '
lie; and it is ’
Reward, That the candidates nominated by
this convention deserve the unanimous and"
enthusiastic support of the citizens of Con-
necticut.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
After thanks had been passed to the officers
of the Convention, three cheers were given
for the Presidential and State tickets, three
cheers for the Republican party, and three
cheers for Governor Jewell, and the conven-
tion adjourned sine die.

Planting Strawberries in Sep-
tember.
A reader of Scribner living in New Jersey
writcsto know if strawberries planted in the
early part of September will bear a crop of
fruit next year. To this inquiry I would say,
Yes, under the following conditions: lst, the
soil must be rich, deep, and mellow; 2d, the
plants must be of this year's growth, with
healthy roots, and plenty of , them, and must
be transplanted in moist or damp weather,
and if the weather continues dry, must be
watered freely a few times, always in the
evening when the sun has gone down; 3d,
the strawberry-bed must be mulched before
cold weather sets in, with yard manure, to be
left on‘until spring. With such treatment, a
bed of strawberries may be set out in Septem-
ber that will yield, not quite as much fruit as
if put out in the spring, but enough for family
use; and the berries will be, on the average,
of larger size than those of the spring plant-
lug—Scribner’s.
Parents must never put away their own
youth. They must never cease to be young.
Their sympathies and sensibilities should be
always quick and fresh. They must be
susceptible. They must love that which
God made the child to love. Children need
not only government, firm and mild, but
sympathy, warm and tender. So long as
parents are their best and most agreeable
companions, children are comparatively safe,
even in the society of others.
A Hartford man, who took, in his hurry to
o to a picnic, what he supposed to be his
unch basket, swore a little when he got to
the grove and found he had brought a littec
gregarding the reconstruction acts.
,gard the amendments, to the Constitution in
éreference to slavery andthe laws for the pro.
gtection of the frecdmenas the - French prov-
for months during the last winter in Congress
by the side - of sixty-one men who, a. few
years since, with arms in1 their hands, were
engaged in the attempt to break up the Gov-
ernment. Now, I have heard those men de-
fend the hellish atrocities. of Libby, Ander-
sonvillc, andealisbury, I have heard Lin-
coln maligned. I have heard defended the
right of a Virginia» Justice of the Peace to
detain and open the mails of the United
States. Can you tell me where is the differ-
ence in the spirit which twenty years ago led
Missouri border rufllans into Kansas and the
massacre at Hamburg, where a regularly or-
ganized militia company were first disarmed
and then murdered in cold blood in order
that the white race‘might assert superiority.
My official relations have called me during
3 the past two or three. years into the Southern
§States and I tell you what I know,my friends
'of the real feeling of the Southern people
They rc-
iiu0cs did their - cesslon to Prussia at the
point of the bayonet. It is to the South, my
friends, with this spirit and with the demo-
cratic party at the North as its pliant ally,-
that we are asked-to'turu over the govern-
ment of the United States,with all its powers
bf legislation, with all its machinery of tax-
ation. No such prepositioufor audacity has
its parallel in the history of the country.
What is the spirit of the democratic party?
Do you want to prove what the democratic
party of the North still is? Go to Washington,
see fifty soldiers crippled in the service of the
Union turnedout of the House to make room
for as many rebel soldiers. This is the evi-
dence of the spirit of, the Northern democ-
racy. My friends, we confront the old issue.
You must not underrate the strength of the ‘
South and its allies in the North. You ask
me if it can be avoided? I tell you Yes. It
can be avoided in the old way and in the old
way only. You must not underrate the
strength of this alliance. I have a confiding
faith that the conscience of the nation will
be sufficiently awakened to avert this great
peril. Under the lead'of the gallant Hayes,
who periled his-life on the field of battle, a
modest man, aplain man, a man who has
evinced great ability in his administration of
affairs of the great state of Ohio—under
Hayes the Republican party will again
achieve a new triumph. [Applause] What
shall be your duty in this canvass? I tell you,
freemen of Vermont, what I know. The
democrats are making great efforts to reduce
the Republican majority of this State. Will
you permit this, friends?,_[Voices, “No,”
“uo.”] The banner of Vermont was never
yet trailed on the battle field. Let your bal
lots protect the, work so efficiently done by
your bayonets at Gettysburg, and on many a
field of strife. As you value good govern-
ment, as you value the sacrifices of the past,
asiyou hope for the future, let your devotion
to§the cause of the Union be proved by'your
ballots on the first Tuesday of November
next. May the star .that never sets beam
. with new effulgence to light the other States
to victory. . [Great and prolonged applause.[
The Japanese Architect at Phllc
adelpliia.
The Japanese houses are entitled to even
more careful regard, and show charming
novelties in their joinery, and expressive
carved work, as well as an almost perfect
system of tile roofing. Inthis latter respect,
noistructures on the grounds, and no houses
in the country, will compare with them. It
is not so much that the tiles are sound and
firm in themselves, as that they are laid with
such precision, and so solidly bedded,—so
sharply trimmed in the valleys and so thor-
oughly dressed, and capped, on the ridges and
hips of the building-that they would seem
to defy alike winds, snow, rains or the wear
of time. Add to this the graceful jutting
rootlets of their porches with the characteris-
tic droop of rafter,—the valleys and ridge
upon porch being treated with the same rig-
orous precision and care asthe longer valleys,
wand the result is a. roof that seems almost
perfect in its office, and is picturesque in the
extreme. The side walls sheathed up after
their own fashion with covering-boards which
are ;uucolored and relieved with no architect-
ural decoration, are only noticeable for the
extreme nicety of the joinery. The same is
also observable wherever timbers meet ; but
we question much if our Japanese friends
have taken sumcient provision against the
merciless intensity of our . American sun ;
unoiled and unpainted wood will have serious
work in resisting the finery glare without
opening its scams, or showing rank cleavage
of its joints—Donald 0’. Mitchell, in. Scrib-
ner for Sept.

Allliding to the serious charge made by
the New York Times that Mr. 'lilden cheat-
ed the government out of the income taxdue
from him and added to it the crime of per-
jury, the Providence Journal says: “The
Times is not published in a corner. It stands
with enough others to make a quartettc, as
one 'of the widest circulated and most influ-
ential papers of the country. Mr. Tilden
reads it, thousands of his supporters read it,
in the city and state of New York. The
Tinies has heretofore made an arraignment of
public men as as astounding as this and has
proved its indictment true. All that we say
now is, that the complainant is entitled to a
hearing; and that what is adduced 1s suffi-
cient to put Mr. Tilden on his defense. The
chalige is sufficiently grave to attract the at-
tention and to challenge the contradiction of
any public man. Silence will be taken as
confession. Mr. Tilden was a very rich man
in 1862; he paid a very moderate income
tax, His own testimony contradicts to acer-
taincxteut his income return. The truth. is
within his knowledge and. capable of being
exhibited. If the Times is right, nobody Will
pretend that Samuel J. Tilden should be elec-
ted president. It would be a pretty state of
things to place at the head of government,
because he is a reformer, a man who cheated
the government and defrauded the soldier.”
#
A young mother, while dressing :1 very
young child, a few days ago, said in rather
an impatient tone, “You are such a queer-
shaped lump of a thing, it is impossible to
make anything fit you." The lips of the
child quivcred, and looking up with 'tears in
his eyes, it said, in a deprecating tone, “God
made me.” The mother was rebuked, and
of kittens, instead;
the little “lump” Was kissed adozen times.

H. R. S'rnvnivs, Esq.: ..
Dear Sir—When about six months old I was vac-
cinated. The parties who were vaccinated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent thntI was rolled
inbran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my hon . I remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis-
charging corruption from my car. At this time a.
small kernel appeared on my neck, (graduallyln-
creasing in size until a_ tumor formc 01 such im-
mense size I could see it by turning my eyes down-
ward. All this time I was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit.
I then went to a prominent physician in Boston,
who. during his treatment of six months, lailccd
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly 8400.
Thislel‘t me with a rough,uggravated soremuthout
at all diminishing the also of the tumor, and in a.
sickly,fccble condition. I‘consulted another phy-
sician in Natick, who, after considerable time, slic-
ceeLlod in healing the sore without reducm the
size. At this point I commenced to use EOE.-
TINE. through t lo earnest nersuaswn of a friend.
After I had taken this medicinesbout one week
I experienced wonderful sensations. . My whole
body seemed to be undergomg a radical change,
until the tumor broke and discharged frlghtlul
quantities. From this time -it decreased in size
until the bunch disappeared, but my neck still
bears the ugly scars of the sore and lance. I am
now healthy and strong and able to work every
ds .
{will also mention that I have'heen an acute
sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism ever since
I can remember, until commencing the use of Van-
E'rlim, when almost immediately all rheumatic
pains ceased. This statement I volunteer for the
purpose of'benefitin g other suffering human1ty,and

Dear GAZETTE, my pen will wander.
Pen more mighty than the sword is.
Pen, who knows thy mighty power
Thou of evil art the master.
For the half has not been told you.
For the tenth has not been told you,
For a hundredth yet you know not
0f the Neptune’s-happy voyage.
Of their sports, their joys and fishing,
or their moonlight walks and binding,
Arthur, king of all the bluflers.
Bissell, king of all the fishers.
He the mightiest of fishers.
Mine to criticise your prose “ Quit.”
Mine to say he gave no quarter
Nor a tenth as I have told you.
Oh! the gloomy, boding east wind.
Herald of the stormy season,
He it was that first did meet us,
Made us wish and hope, tllcn anchor.
Opposition life to trade is
Mighty was our opposition
A fore-ordained opposition
But the boy-the bubble maker,
Gleeful when he blew the bubble,
Glee was added when it vanished,
So were we by this opponent
All our. powers put to tension,
Tension. bodily’and mental.
Great effects, how soon they followed.
Mirth and song—in quick succession.
Steries and the light conundrum
Thus we passed the merry hours.
Then we anchored at Block Island.
Tramped across the hills and valleys,
Had two doors shut in our faces.
This appendage to Rhode Island.
St. Helena, as we called it,
Far behind the land of Buelah,
Far from pleasant and from peaceful.
But our mirth grew louder, stronger
As the contrast loomed before us.
No bad luck could hurt the Neptunea
0n we sailed till Gay Head Lighthouse,
Light of bold quadruple signal,
Light of beauty, light of promise,
Lit our prow with ray of promise.
Here like Pilgrims saw our city,
Knew our toils and sorrows over,
Knew We soon should see our ladies.
Ladies of .theneatest pattern.
Ladies of exquisite beauty-
Waiting for their noble brothers, . »
Brothers, browned lind'tanned, but Welcome.
How we met them, howthey charmed us.
How we sang and danced and feasted,
How we sailed and walked byImoonligllt.
Beaming, bright, celestial moonlight,
This is what your “ Quis" should story.
This is what your “ Quis” should tell us.
Derelict was he in duty.
Charity, they say, ne’er faileth,
Charity, of all the virtues
Stands pre-emincnt and mighty.
I will use this lovely virtue,
Virtue of the greatest beauty,
Bright, celestial, heavenly beauty,
And excuse, who e’er he may be,
This prose “ Quis," what e’er his name be,
For the half could not betold you,
For the. tenth'couhi net be told you,
.Nor a hundrcthunone the pewer.
Scenes of joy in quick succession,
Music mirthf' illness and dancing,
Nights of dancing, days of planning
Every joy the mind could harbor;
Every joy and every. pleasure, -
Pleasure, innocent audharmless,
Pleasure, caused by nature’s'beauty,.
Pleasure with no sting behind it.
Now, though gone,'it brings contentment;
Memory her store is filling,
Filling for our future meeting,
Filling for our gay re-union.
Beauteous our merry voyage,
Beauty fills our earthly planet,
Beauty reigns and man is captive,
Beauty fills the great hereafter,
Thus saith happy, merry'Hasher.
The Bald-Headed Tyrant. '
Oh i the quietest home on earth had I,
No thought of trouble, nohint of care 5 .
Like a dream of pleasure the days fied by.
And Peace had folded her pinious there.
'But one day there joined in our household
band '
A bald-headed tyrant from No-man’s-land.
Oh,'the despot came in the dead 0f night.
And no one ventured to ask him why 3 ‘
Like slaves we tremble before his might.
Our hearts stood still when, we heard hill
cry ; . "
For [never a soul could llispower withstln‘
That bald~headed tyrant from No-man’s-land.
He ordered as here and he sent us there—f
Though never a word could his small lips
speak— . ’ . . . r‘
With his toothless gums and‘his vacant lien.
And his helpless limbs s0 frail and weak.
Till I cried, in a voice of stem command,
“Go up, thou bald-headfrom Noman’sslaud?‘
But: his abject slaves they turnedon me;
Like the bears in Scripture, they'd read
me there, ,1 . .. . .. 4.1:.
The while they worshiped with, bendedknea
This ruthless wretch with the mixing hair;
For he rules them all with relentless lmnd,
This bald-headed tyrant from Nomads-land.
Then I scearched forhelp in every chine,
For peace had fled from my dwelling new,
Till I finally thought of old Father Time,
And low before him I made' my bow.
“Wilt thou deliver me out of his hand, "
This bald-headed tyrant from No-man’sgland?”
Old Time he looked with a puzzled stare,
And a smile came over his features grin.
“I'll take the tyrant under my care : 1 .
Watch what my hour-glass doesto'him.
The veriest humbug that ever was planned
Is this same bald-head from No-man’s-land.“
Old Time is doing his work full. well-s ’ .-
Much less of might does the tyrant wield;
But, ah! with sorrow my heart will swell ,
.Andsadtearsfallaslsee himyield.~ _
Could I stay the touch of that shriveled hand,
I would keep the bald-head from Flo-man's
land. _ ‘ ' .. '
For the loss of Peace I have ceased to care 9
Like other vassals, I’ve learned, forsootb,
To love the wretch who forgot hishair
And hurried along without a tooth,
And he rules me too with his tiny hand,
This bald headed tyrant from No-man’s-land.

Love and _ 1H isehiet
BY ZAVARR WILMBHUBST.
One sunny day Love chose to stray
Adown a rosy path forbidden,
Where Mischief deep in ambush lay.
A all watched his snare heath—flowers hidden
Love tumbling in, began to shout .
For Misehief’s aid, lest lie should smother;
“ You little demon, let me out, I
Or I’ll report you to my mother. ‘.’
Said Mischief, “ I'll not set youfree ‘
Unless you share your home with me,
And give of every heart you gain,
Onehalf to joy and half. to flu ."
Love struggled, but in vain," 1
He was not born to prove a martyr,
And, sad to tell! it caule to pass '
He gave in.to the little Tartar.
Love flew to Venus in a pet. - '
And cried, when he had toldliislstory:
“ 0. Queen of Beauty, never'let
That little imp wear half my glory.”
The goddess with a- look sedate, ~ ‘
Replied, “I cannot alter fate, . .
But you shall conquer still, my boy, '
I’ll make love’s pain more sweet than joy.”
—Scribnel"s for August.
