The Republican State Convention
The most inspiring and grandest State:
Convention held in Connecticut since the
war, convened at New Haven on Wednesday
last. In its every feature it seemed to beget
an inspiration of victory. -Thc preliminary
caucuses, held the Tuesday evening previbus,‘
at the New Haven House, must have iu-j
spircd every one with the presages of a
and the country. ‘
The placing that honored name of Tune-
J ewell, ought to win as the support, as it
does the respect and admiration of every
voter in Connecticut. _Thc first, .is a name
honored tllroughOut 'th'c civilized World, as
at the head of scientific research and scholas-
tic attachment. For a quarter of a century,
the revered and beloved ofiicial head of Yale
College, he is held in venerated esteem by the
thousands of graduates who have left those
classic halls, and as a clear and exhaustive
writer and authority on International Law
isfinosthighly honored by the ablest jurists
of all the nations, while as a christian gentle-
man, it is conceeded, that neither New Eng-
land or the world, can present a higher type
of excellence.
The second name on our ticket, is that of
an honest, straight-forward, manly and rarely
sagacious business man. Born in poverty
and early taught to earn his bread by his own
daily labor, hLuzsuxLI. J EWELL has developed .
into one of those grandly successful charac—
ters, which it is the‘pride and boast of the
American nation, that its genius and institu-
tions can produce. He is a man of large
head and heart, of broad and liberal views,—
one who seems a mean action and all trickery,
as much in a political party as in an individ-
ual. He it is, the Republicans of Connecti-
cut proudly invite the laboring masses to
support with their votes, sure that the wis-
dom and ability he has shown in his jown
private affairs, more recently and conspicuous-
ly shown in public administrative duty,
Inust commend him to the confidence and
admiration of every true American.
Our District Electors were selected for
their unblemished reputations and the respect
and love in which they were held in the
communities where they reside. Our own
Mr. ll’arner, of the 4th District, is a lawyer
of pronounced ability, of unsullicd reputation
and who resides under the shadow of the
great meney-dispcnscr, Senator Barnum, at
Salisbury; ' ‘
Mr. annx C. Roslnsox, of Hartford,
again put in nomination for Governor, is per
haps the ablest lawyer of his yearsin the
state, on whose fair name no stain .was ever
made to stick, and a man, who despite malice
and detraction always runs very largely ahead
of his party vote, in the city where he re-
sides, because of his purity of character and
grand‘nobility of nature. No menu, under-
handed,or unworthy act was ever successfully
charged against annr C Ronrssos, and his
friends defy all the accusations of malign‘ants
and mischief makers to the contrary. We
are glad our citizens will have the opportuni-
ty to listen to him here and grasp him by the
hand, before being called upon to cast their
suifragcs for him, and if he doesn't impress
every candid person, as a man who has inher-
itede princely human nature, with heart and
brain cast in the purest mould, then we will
craveno vote for Mr. Robinson.
Mr; Kingsbury, our candidate for Lieut.
Governor, we have known from ourboyhbod.
A purer, nobler, “ squarer" man does not live
in Connecticut. Long ccnaected with com-
mercial interests, though of fine culture and
a graduate, with high honors,‘of' Yale—he is
just theman to preside over our Senate with
dignity and ability, and give wise counsels in
the shaping of our necessary state legislation.
The rest .of our State ticket is of a sample
with the head. No voter will have occasion
to regret a ballot cast for any one of these
gentlemen. If Reform means anything more
than an idle word, then ourState Convention
has given to the freemend‘of‘this State, a tick-
ct that means all that is ’liop’ed for by the
honest, voters, No better ticket was ever
presented by any convention to any people.
The very spirit of spontaneous, and indeed
irrepressible. unanimity, with which the con-
vention putthem ,-in nomination, is a most
encouraging augury of the wisdom and popuy,
lar strengtll‘of—t'hc‘ ticket. , ‘
In thc‘c'ouv'ention, there were scores of
delegates who cast their last presidentiale
lots for Mr. Greeley. All these men were
clear iu4tllcir convictions that true patriotism
made-it their "duty to sustain the Republican
cause and ticket this fall. They were wel-
comcd back With a cordiality and enthusiasm
that was an earliest -of the coming victory
which if sure to Crown our labors in Novem-
ber, is' each and every Republican puts his
shoulders to .the‘ wheel and does his whole
duty for our gallant state. and the whole na-
tion. _ - , -
The democratic State—Convention is to be
held to-morrow. The leaders want to nomi-
nate Gov. Ingersoll, but~he declines._ If they
attempt to force him they may enact the New
York farce overagain. English is also talk-
ed of, but he is not willing. Col. Loomis,
however, satnds ready to accept and will be
mad as hops if he does not get it. The Con-
vention, at best, can hardly be asharmonious
as that recently “held by the Republicans.
The Reformer.
It is claimed that Tilden has reduced tax-
ation in New York and that constitutes one
of his chief rightsilo :be,callcd-_a reformer.
It is true he hadhis own salaryas Governor
doubled, and the salaries of all his secretaries
largely increased, but the most noted instance
where he reduced taxation, was'whep. he
swore to an income less than half what he
has just again sworn that he received ! ,

Temperance Meeting.
Arrangements are being made for one of
the largest praise meetings ever held in the
Town of Norwalk in behalf of the Temper-
ance Cause. All of the Temperance organi-
zations in this county are cordially invited to
the Amphitheater Grounds. Good speaking
may be expected.
The Reform Union will then meet on these
grounds for the last time this season, after
which these meetings will continue under
the auspices of the Ladies Temperance Union,
in Lockwood‘s Hall. Should the weather
be unpleasant the meeting will be held in
Lockwood’s Hall.

Delig‘htful, Isn’t it?
How very gratifying it must be to the hon-
est democratic voter to be assured, as he is,by
his own party organs and friends, that Mr.
Tilden is worth seven millions and is willing
to spend two millions to buy his way into the
Presidency!
The State Centennial Commission, of which
Gov. Ingersoll is chairman, have issued cir-
culars inviting “ all citizens of Connecticut
and their descendants residing in other sec-
tions of the United States," to be present at
the Second Centennial Reception of the series
to be given by the Governors of the thirteen
original States, at the Centennial, which is to

Building, from 1 to 3 o’clock. The Gover-
nor will review the State troops, ou the Cen-

Treasurer Andrew Selleck was at Hartford
last week to witness the wonderful trotting
feat of the Stallion Smugglcr, when he made
his mile in 2.15;} Friend Selleck had along
personal interview with C01. Russell, the
owner of the horse, but whether he succeded
in securing him for our County Fair exhibi-
tion we do not learn.
Col. Cram was also present at Charter Oak
Park and saw the wonderful test of speed.
He did not offer to make a mateh of his trot-
ter against Smuggler, although he is undoubt-

There is no doubt as to the ability of Til-
den to take the oath of. office in case he is
elected. His reputation as aazucarcr has been
fully established by the exposure of his
fradulent income tax. But what could be
expectedof a man who‘ “farms out” patent
medicines ?

So Mr. Barnum, with a barrel of Tilden’s
money, is going to carry Connecticut, is he ?
well, we shall see, whether the democrats are
going to carry Connecticut for the first time
in a Presidential Election, since their South-
ern allies sought to break up the Union, by
the purchase of the poor men, out of work,
asthey so confidentially boast. The times
are hard and work is scarce and many, many
voters are desperately poor, but not so poor
as to sell out their principles to the aiders
and abettors of those rebels whos'e treason
caused all our present misery of hard times
and oppressive taxation.

A Memorial.
In the death of Mr. Janus A. How,
Norwalk has lost another of her most respect-
ed citizens. Such losses, have been quite
frequent, of late years.
Mr. Hoyt was well known abroad, espec-
ially in New York, where he was formerly
engaged in active business, but more recently
in government employ for fifteen years,
as one of the cashiers in the Custom
House, a position for which he was well
qualified. At home he was universally
esteemed in a large circle of friends and
acquaintances. ‘
Among those who knew him best, it has
been repeatedly remarked “Mr. Hoyt was
born a gentleman,"'and the remark did not
apply more to his position by birth and
connections, than to his characteristic tastes
and tendencies; and these were developed by
culture and society. Quiet, refined, retiring
and unobtrusive, yet genial and social, he
was much endeared to those who knew him
sufficiently to appreciate his good qualities.
He was eminently charitable in his judgments,
speaking evil of none; indulging no sur-
mises and bearing no tales of evil. His
cousin, General W. T. Sherman, in a private
letter expressing his regret that public duty
forbade his coming to the funeral, writes : "I
can recall him away back to the time when
I was a cadet, and better still when he was
with me in that bank, No. 12 Wall Street,
so perfectly honest and true that I could
confide to him the largest sums and the most
delicate secrets," and again, “I testify to his
pure honesty, kindness and fidelity.” .
During his mature life, Mr. Hoyt met dis-
asters and disappointments with equanimity
and fortitude, towards its close he bore
heavy burdens and sustained severe trials,l
especially of disease and pain, with a most?
patient, uncomplaining spirit.
As a Christian, while faithful to his cov-
enant and church, sincerely attached to the
creed and order in which he was reared, he
was a lover of that truly Catholic comniun-
ion of the ministers and other members of
Christ’s mystical body, which was so beauti-
fully illustrated at his, funeral; whose
services, at the house, were shared by Revs. ‘
Hamilton and'Bissell, of the Congregational
body, and at the church, by the venerable
rector, Dr. Mead,———who preached anexcellent
discourse,—and Revs. Selleck and Yarring.

more than half a century, heartily tenders
this humble but sincere tribute to his . mem-
ory. -

From tlw Putnam Patriot, Aug 25th.
In MKMROIAM.—-Tllc following tribute to

the family of the deceased :—
It being known to us that General Orris S.
Ferry died at his home on the 20th day of
November, 1875, on this our first subsequent
re-uniou, we desire to record our profouudest
appreciation of his marked ability jn his
profession, the justness of his views and acts
as a statesman, his devotion to truth and
honor, the magnetism of his eloquent speech,
the fullness and breath of his christiauity, es-
pecially his great kindness and warmth of
heart to each of us as comrades, his earnest-
ness and enthusiasm as a patriot soldier, and
his untiring labors to make himself and as
efficient as soldiers, to which we ascribe much
of the vigor, esprit du corps and efficiency
which the regiment ever afterward dis-
played. .

It seems we did not get the whole story of
the caman‘s ride, last week. After the catas-
trophe on the green as narrated in our last,
the party having been safely loaded up was
again started olf upon the road. We next
hear of their repeating the same exploit, in
similar manner, in front of the domicile of
one of our law dispense—a Justice of the
Peace—in quite another part of the town;
he, unfortunately engaged in the liquor traf-
fic, took it to be an intended affront either to
himself or his business, rushed out, and in
an irate mood, forgetting the sober, steady
dignity pertaining to his judicial robes,threat-
cued lynch law summarily and instantly,
when to add to his troubles and humiliation,
up popped one of our ever vigilant Borough
police, with the avowed determination of ar-
resting the Justice for abreach of the Sunday
law, the policeman thinking they must be
two customers just turned out of the store
During the wordy war of words that ensued,
our heroes composing the carman's load, were
stoically indifferent to all that passed; but
the Justice and policeman finally becoming
conversant with the true state of the case,
they were again loaded up and once more start-
ed ofi’, and we presume finally reached the
safe anchorage of home, as we hear of no
new exploits on that day.

The frightened democrats have now started
the story that Gov. Tilden is about to, marry
a beautiful and accomplished lady—rich, of
course. It is too late. A man who has lived
tobe seventy odd .without discovering his
duty, cannot catch the poo 1e by repentance
at this late hour. If the ol fellow had been
sincere in this matter, he would not have
waited till this late day, when he sees that he
is losing votes because of his celibacy.

If Mr. Tilden’s “true inwardness" is faith-
fully attained, as is asserted by the ancient
ones about New Lebanon, in Acts 8-27—isn’t
heyexpressiug himself to more false swearing?

CITY NEWS.
ax om: LOCAL nuronrans.
Nelson Taylor, Jr., has returned from
Europe.
Mayor Ely and two daughters started for
the White Mountains last week.
At the regular weekly meeting of the
Hayes & Wheeler club, on Friday evening,
there was a full attendance, and great interest
was manifested. A plan was adopted where-
by there may be a fair discussion of the
principles and aims of the two parties, and
comparisons made of their records.
The Ladies’ of the Union Sunday-school, in
Granitevillc, have endeared themselves to
the children of their charge, by giving them
the pleasures of a picnic in Lockwood’s
woods, not far distant from the new Union
chapel. It is difficult to decide which was
the most attractive, the edibles, smiles and
attractions of the teachers, or the music of
the Bull Run Baud. One thing is certain.
all had a good time and returned perfectly
satisfied.
A new motto was added to the East side of
the Tilden banner, a few days since, whose
weight broke the flag down on Saturday.
“Purity of Administration” is a motto
rather heavy for the party, or the banner.
Mayor Ely and daughters are sojourning at
the Pauigewassctt Hotel, for a short time.
.P. L. Cunningham, councilman of the 2d
Ward, is acting Mayor, and has his hands
full of business. He goes for order and the
enforcement of the laws by the police.
Economy and retrenchment is the cry. At
a recent meeting, the Board of Councilmen
abolished the lock-up. The owner who is
so firm an advocate of the new charter giving
the town the control of criminals, now com'
plains that “just this one act takes from his
pocket 72 dollars per annum.
The Misses Norton, Dunning and Boutou
have returned to their school. to complete
their studies.
It is to be regretted, and. it is with pain
that the announcement is made, that the
action taken by the councilmen in regard to
Washington street, will delay its completion
this year. We are sorry for Camp and other
tender footed ones, but they must pass by on
the other side. The action of the Board will
not prevent any who choose from making a.
sidewalk immediately.
Graniteville Union chapel is to be dedica-
ted on Sunday, p. m., 17th inst.
Full and free discussion seems to be the
order in the journals, of candidate for Con-
gress, and the city is not forgotten; in the
puffs of candidates. But, “George" with all
his sterling qualities and record has not been
mentioned for that office. We respectfully
add his name as a worthy competitor on the
democratic list of candidates. ‘ c
On the reverse side of our Tilden flag the
words “Reform," “REFORM," “REFORM,"
are repeated in such a frantic way that
people very naturally surmise the democratic
party here must be in a deplorable state of
morals, to need ' such earnest and repeated
admonition to peput up across the street so as
to stare them in the face every time they come
up from the oz’ctualllng shops in the vicinity
of the Steamboat dock! Well, when we con-
sider the vast quantities of tangle foot swal-
lowed by the devotees of that party about
here, the injunction for them to Reform can-
not be too often repeated.
It is now quite certain that the first public
meeting in the interest of Hayes &. Wheeler,
will be held in Music Hall, of this city, Fri-
day evening next, at which time the Hon.
Cyrus Northrop, of New Haven, and proba-
bly the Hon. Henry C. Robinson, of Hart-
ford, will be present and deliver addresses.
Particulars of the meeting in- hand-bins.
Some of the learned, quote the remarks of
the World in its accusation of Mr. Wheeler’s
reckless rant about the Bloody shirt. Some
even discussed it on the Sabbath. The dem-
ocracy connot face the Northern issue, neith-
er the Southern, for they know Slat if the
latter is at all prominent in the campaign
their defeat is certain. They would fain
taboo it as effectually as they do the negro
votes. '
The Sentiml quite enthusiastically seconds
your suggestion of Gen. Taylor as a desirable
democratic candidate for Congress and speaks
with deserved approbation of Gen. Taylor’s
military services in subduing the southern
democrat’s rebellion. It is quite natural
that the General wouldlike to go the present
err—Confederate House, so as to give his old
enemies battle again, on the floor of the House
but does he realize that such democrats as
Senator Eaton andmany about here, wouldn’t
mate for him just because, sword in hand, he
fought the rebels on the battle field!
Only two of the city churches .were open
an Sabbath evening—the congregational and
Methodist. Rev. Mr. Dunning occupied his
pulpit, morning and evening. A praise
meeting at the Methodist church in the eve-
ning, with the singing of Miss Wood, drew
together a very large congregation. .
We stop the press to announce that our
George is seeking for truth, . and for this
reason made‘a call at the Hayes & Wheeler
club room on Wednesday evening. He was
much surprised to find so many respectable
and sober men present, and promised to come
again.
Some people find fault with the admonition
to “live within your income” as addressed
to our citizens on the democratic banner.
The sentiment they say is good enough but
they don’t see why the people of South Nor-
walk, need to have it thrust before their
faces, any more than any other folks and
besides, it is well known here to be a “person-
al attack” upon the habits and worldy con-
dition of sevcml of the democrats who aided
in its erection. That’s where the shoe
pinches, for it isn’t pleasant to hear such
remarks as this, as a brisk looking democrat
goes scuddingly to the nearest saloon. ~
“There goes a fellow that owes me a bill and"
I can’t get a. cent of it and yet he gave his
money to put up that fishnet across the street
with the advice to “live within your income."
“He’d better take it to himself,” and the
like. , '
Mr. Rowan has been paid his fifteen dol-
lars, (which was all he charged) for his servi-
ces on the town Board of Belief, by the se-
lectmen. His bill was raised to $26 by some
unauthorized person and collected of the
town, but he never received it as he had nev-
er asked for that amount. The selectmen
propose to recover the $26 and put it back
into the town treasury.
Rev. Dr. Spencer’s son, a promising stu-
dent at Mr. Selleck’s school, has received an
official invite from the Secretary of the Navy
to appear at Annapolis for a competitive ex-
amination iu'the new class of practical engi- _
ncers, to be created. 4
That motto on the “ Slippery Sam” banner
is taken as a personal taunt by so many dem-
ocrats down here, that it is seriously consid-
ered whether it would not be better to “dodge
the issue” and strike it off the banner alto-
gether. Then, too, the ugly connundrum
propounded by the GAzuuTu, as to _which
“income” was meant, the one Tilden swore
to or the one he actually received, is being
constantly shot at them, and the democrats
are not happy. '

When poor “ Sandy” took an excursion
party down our harbor and the Dreadnought:
wascapfized by a squall, and all left fioundera
ing outside the boat in the water, our sable
friend uttered those memorable words which
will long live in our local history—“It dico’ry
fclkr for Iu’sclf now .’" The New York de-
mocracy seem to be in the same state of pan-
ic of poor Sandy’s sailing party. They met
last week at Saratoga to nominate a Govern-
or. As the Republicans had put Ex-Govern-
or Morgan in nomination, our opponents at
once saw the necessity of bringing out their
best man. They naturally ran madly after
ex-Governor Seymour and demanded of him
that he should stand a nomination. The ven-
erable statesman, with more than his accus-
tomed sincerity and firmness, repeated “Your
candidate I cannot be.” Nevertheless the
frantic party managers sought to force him to
an acceptance, and so lied to the convention
and it. adjourned under the delusion that it
had done a good day’s 'vvork. But Gov. Sey-
mour, as soon as he could be heard from, ex-
posed aud denounced the deception, and the
public generally despise their brutality, for
Gov. Seymour has the best of reasons, in-
volving possibly his life, and certainly his
health, for noi daring to venture upon the in-
evitable cxcitemcnts of so fierce a political
campaign. Now the party managers are fly-
ing to and fro in as great a panic as Sandy’s
capsized sailing party. They have frantical-
ly begged and bcsought Mr. Seymour to
stand. Have hysterically avowed to him and
as well to the world, that no other name they
can nominate will save New York to Tilden,
and like sailors in a squall they are at their
wit’s ends. Nothing so serious and yet so lu-
dicrous, has overtaken them since the St,
Louis convention. The better portion of their
party were much mortified at Tilden’s false
income perjury, but such reformers as Boss
Kelley and John Morrisscy could stand
fraud that only touched the government and
while suppressing rebellion. But in their
present fix they realize that they are the
laughing-stock of the nation, and the more
they struggle the more ridiculous they become.
‘ P. S.—Another Convention next Tuesday.
THE SILVERlllLL CflNTEST.
UN CERTAINTIES OF THE
NATIONAL GAME.
AN EXCITING SERIES OF GAMES.
We gave in our last the result of the first
of the series of games played at Stamford, for
a Silver Ball offered by Mr. Voorhies. On
Tuesday, the first of three games between
the winning clubs, the Independents of Nor-
walk, and the Unions of Silver Mine, was
played at Stamford. Both clubs were confl-
dent of victory, but the Independents retired
defeated by a score of 10 to 5, much to the
disappointment of their friends. The second
game of the series was played on Saturday
afternoon last, upon the new grounds of the
Independent club, on the County Fair
Grounds. The grounds are the best ever laid
out in Norwalk. Ropes, were stretched at
the proper distance, to keep back the excited
crowds. The management of the game was
capital throughout, and good order was main-
tained. Several hundred people were present
to witness the game, friends of both clubs.
The Unions came on the field in good condi-
tion, and in excellent spirits, and they were
justified by their recent success in feehng
perfect assurance of victory. The Indepen-
dents were not cast down, but earnest in their
determination to retrieve their good name.
The game was called promptly at 3 o’clock,
the Independents going to the bat. The
Unions whitewashed them, and then scored
one by an error of the Independents. In the
second innings the Independents commenced
a wonderful display of batting, Kemper lead-
ing of! and making a splendid home run.
From this time forward the Independents
fairly ran away with the game, batting splen-
didly, and scoring high. Every man did his
level best, and all worked together with a
will. They made few errors,—-cateher, pitch-
er, basemen and fieldcrs playing well and
with spirit. ' The Unions failed to punish Gil-
bert’s pitching, but fought earnestly through-
out, behaving iu a manner to gain the good
will of all. Ill luck, however, demoralized
nearly all of that side, aud they muffed near-
ly every thing. It was a strange sight to see
such good players missing ball after bah. In
the last inning Buttery gained a tally, by live-
ly running on a passed bah. The game ended
with the wonderful score of 30 to 2 infavor
of the Independents—fairly fought and won.
We are compelled to omit our notes of the,
game, but give below the score by innings :—
1 2 '3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Unions, 1000000012
Independents,0 2 5 2 5 3 0 11 2 30
Mr. Glover umpired the game in an able
manner, and is praised by all parties.
The astonishing success of the winning
club wasa surprise even to their warmest
friends. The Unions were grievously disap-
pointed but bore their defeat manfully. They
have a strong club, and if we mistake not,
will make a better score next time.
The third and final game will be played on
the same grounds, Wednesday afternoon, at
2:} sharp, and will be sure to draw an im.
mense crowd of spectators.

Whoever reads the disclosures in this day’s
Argus—and they will be read by four hundred
thousand voters in all of the states—will be
convinced that Samuel J. Tilden is one of the
worst men who has ever been lifted into public
notoriety. The intelligence and sincerity of
the American people are on trial. Claiming
that principle and not partisan prejudice should
guide them, if, after knowing the history of
this arch-impostcr,demogogue and despot,they
shall show that a majority of them disregard
the warning of such facts as are here present-
ed, it will teach reflecting men that the star
of American liberty is soon to set in the sea
of despotism and anarchy. Tilden has made
the record, not we. Read, ponder, act. If
the people shall do as we have done—conquer
their prejudices in favor of principles—the
danger will be averted and imposture be re.

If the enemy of mankind was permitted to exert
his diabolical ingenuity in the invention ofa new
disease, he could scarcely devise one more worthy -
of (his genius than dyspepsia. The dyspeptic suf-
ferer is tormented by symptoms resmbling those of
almost every known malady, and is often worried
into monomania by these conflicting and perplex-
ing manifestations. A favorite though absurd hal-
lucination of the victim of chronic indigestion is
that he or she has heart disease. Dyspepsia has
often been pronounced incurable, but experience
has shown that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will
vanquish it, together with the constipation and
bilious derangement which usually accompany it.
Diseases of the kidneys and supposed rheumatic
gains are so frequent coneombitants of dyspepsia,
ut they, too,.suecnmb to the above named invalo
uable corrective. '
