Let every republican voter in Connecticut
who intends visiting the Centennial make his
arrangements not to be absent on the day of
election. Every vote is needed, and if every
voter recognizes the great importance of the
contest and does his duty, Connecticut will
take her old position with a solid New Eng-
land in favor of good government, and the
equal rights of all men.

Rev. Mr. Hamilton preached an earnest
discourse, Sunday morning, from the text
“ Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heav-
en.” His theme naturally led him into a 1'6.

condemnation of injustice, fraud and evil do-
ing among political parties was as well-de-
served as it was earnest and sincere.
More Tildcn Frauds.
Not satisfied with the more than forty thou-
sand illegal registrations in New York and
Brooklyn. of which there ts legal proof, the
Tildcn reformers have (:0an an enor-
mous scheme for illegal voting in Philadel-
phia. Saturday night the polic'e'of Philadel-
phia captured fifty thotuam'l bogus tax re.
ceipts—a necessity for voting' in Pennsylva-
nia—which were almost an exact fao aimilea
of the genuine, and had been specially man.
ufactured with a counterfeit water mark in
the paper. Two leading democrats are under
arrest and are to be examined today. A
Philadelphia dispatchsays: “There is‘ great-
excitement there among the leading politi-
clans of both parties, andat the hearing a
lively time is expected. , Whatever is the re
sult of the hearing, this capture prevents the
consummation of the greatest fraud which has
ever been attempted here, and shows where
the party of return intend to get their votes.

Remember
That whenever there is a full Republican
vote polled in Connecticut, she goes for the
party of the Union. Our gallant little State
has never yet wavered in any National con-
test since the war and Republicans must not
by inaction let her waver now.

Our '~ Senator.
The nomination of Oman How: of
Stamford, for State Senator by the Republi-
cans, ensures the 12th Senatorial District to
the Republicans. Mr. Hoyt is. well known
throughout the District as a high-toned,
Christian gentleman. His great liberality
in matters of church, town and state, have
deservedly made him an universal favorite
with all the people of his district. Perhaps
no man in Connecticut comes closer than Mr.
Hoyt to an exact counterpart of the late
Governor Buckingham,in personal character,
sound judgment, business enterprise and
patriotic devotion.

Gov. Hayes of; Philadelphia.
Last Thursday was OhiO’s day at the Cen-
tennial and it is estimated that fully one
hundred and fifty thousand people were
present, thirty thousand of whom were
Ohioans, who joined in the enthusiastic rwcl
come to their Governor and our candiddte
for the Presidency. Nothing could have
been in better taste than the dcportment and
. speeches of the modest Governor. He was
welcomed in an eloquent speech by President
J. R. Hawlcy, amid enthusiastic plaudits of
not less than fifty thousand auditors. All
who know Gov. Hayes intimately seem to
agree that he is more like Abraham Lincoln
in clear, incisive wisdom and goodness of
heart than any Presidential nominee ever
before the American people.

The following gentlemen having been ap-

“ T—lIe BloodyShirt.”
Our opponents could not have chosen a
more unfortunate campaign cry than the
phrase used by them so fiippantly .and deri-
sively. Doctor Ronnnr Hermann, our can-
didate for Congress, knows well all the hor-
rors of shirts made bloody by the bullets of
treasonable democrats, for he has taken them
many a time from the wounded backs of the
"boys in blue" who were fighting for the
preservation of the government these same
democrats are now “ going solid” to capture.
Some miscreant threw a stone at the Boys
in Blue last Friday evening, while in proces-
sion, and inflicted a severe wound upon the
eye of one of them.-—Sentfnel.
Did anyone ever hear of a democratic pro-
cession having been stoned?

Old Stamford is wide awake. Meetings
are, being held every week. On Friday
evening, Hon. Stewart L. Woodford was the

New Voters.
Ninety-one new voters were made at South
Norwalk, on Wednesday last, and forty-three
up-town on Saturday, making 198 for the
week. Many “naturalized” citizens, proba-
bly, will be made on election day, and such
others, as may be registered on Wednesday.
Persons who have ever voted in this State,
and have resided in town four months, will
be entitled to vote on election day on certif-
icatcs.

On Friday the funeral of Mrs. Lizzie Rich-
ardson, wife of Prof. Leonard Wood Rich-
ardson, of Trinity College, and daughter of
the Rev. D. R. Austin, of South Norwalk,
was attended at her late residence in Hartford.
The sudden death following so soon the
bridal of this accomplished young lady, clic-
ited deep sorrow and sympathy in surround-
ing friends; many beautiful and appropriate
floral tributes expressed these sentiments.
The burial services were exquisitely touch-
ing; literally she was laid upon a bed of flow.
ers and profusely covered with the same, so
that no harsh so falling earth grated
upon the ears of " ed friends!
Thus another young life, full of happiness
and promise, has passed from us, and we pray
that God’s gracious presence may abide with
those who mourn her.

The first entertainment of the Winter
Evening Course was given at the Opera
House, last Friday evening, by the Young
Apollo Club, of New York. The balcony
was well filled by persons holding course
tickets, and the seats on the floor of the Hall
was pretty well occupied, though the mana-
gers deserved astill larger attendance. The
Apollo Club was composed of some seventeen
vocalists, chiefly young boys, and a pianist-
Thc singing by the boys was a rare treat, and
the audience encored about everything. The
company showed very~ careful training, the
rendering of solos, and choruses by the fresh
clear, smooth boyish voices was charming.
The entertainment gave excellent satisfaction,
and the boys will be well patronized if they
ever come here again.

the annual report. The business of the road
was some $10,000 better than the previous

about being formed. It is proposed to in
crease the pay of the Grand Scribe from fifty
dollars to two hundred dollars per annum.
Many members of the Order from this vicini-

not elected as officers, received nearly a

Harry Beers.
The name of the young friend who has so
recently passed from our sight, will long be
remembered in the community familiar with
his worth; long be affectionately cherished
in many a heart now saddened by his loss.
The. many noble qualities of the deceased
gained for him the love of those who knew
him best.
In his business relations he was the soul of
honor, and in his fidelity to an obligation he
knew no selfish considerations.
Removed to another State in the full flush
of his young manhood, lotus trust that the
promise cut short as to his earthly career, may
find full fruition in the life upon which he
has entered; that the death of this life will
prove to him the entrance-way to Life Eter-

thing in it was an extract from the Charleston

the arrival of the U. S. troops. While all
the democratic papers North are calling it a
Federal usurpation, bayonet election, etc,,
that Southern democratic paper says: “ The
officers were carried up by Mr. Buist and
introduced to the citizens of the place, both
ladies and gentlemen, who were very glad to
meet them, the Rev. Mr. Logan tendering
them the llospifalities of the place. The
United States officers at Cain Hoy arc quar-
tered among some of the families of the
place, and the men have a house assigned
them. They are 9. fine looking body of men,
and the officers courteous gentlemen. The
inhabitants of the village are pleased to have
a permanent protection against the black sav-
ages who inhabit the surrounding country.”

Prepare.
All sorts of lies will be circulated by our
unscrupulous enemies to influence the weak
and uninformed against our candidates. One
story is now put afloat that our nominee for
Congress is on intemperate man. The foolish
absurdity of this falsehood is apparent from
the fact that right at his home he ran over
six hundred ahead of his ticket 9. year ago

The Republicans of Danbury had a glorious
demonstration last Wednesday. The Nor-
filk and South Norwalk Boys in Blue, num-
bering some 150 went up on the regular
evening train, and were received by a large
and fine company of Danbury Republicans,
headed by Ivcs’ Band. At nine o’clock the
Bridgeport train arrived with seven compan-
ies from that city, when line of march was
taken up for Concert Hall, where the ladies
had provided a bountiful collation, thgcn‘tirc
floor being occupied with long tables
spread with good things to eat. After
collation, about 9%, the march commenced
and continued without cessation until 12%.
The men who innocently supposed Danbury
to be "all on one street” were surprised to
learn their mistake, and came to the conclu-
sion that the old town was “immense.” The
and we were forced to the conclusion that the
democracy did not live in houses or else were
packed very close. The illuminations, from

CITY NEWS.
BY OUR LOCAL EXPORTERS.
The city Fire department, under thc‘dircc-
tion of Chief Engineer, Eugene Kinney». and
his efficient" aids, are to have a short exer-
cise this (Tuesday) evening, at the foot of
Washington street.=
A sad calamity is likely to befall our city
unless a radical change is made for the better.
Our efficient Mayor has surmounted many
difficulties in executing the laws and ordin-
ances under the new charter, but some of his
under officers have in some instances per-
formed the duties of Mayor, in addition to
their legitimate duties, and for this reason,
the Mayor has said he had better resign. IWc
hope that his decision is not final, and that
he may use his delegated authority to compel
obedience to all legal laws and ordinances, or
remove the offenders from ofilcc.
If. is a remarkable circumstance that the
owners of all our city drug stores, are politi-
cally of democratic persuasion; only one of
the three have refused to allow notices Of the
meetings of either party to be left or conspic-
uously posted in their sales rooms. Messrs,
Peck and Stillsou seem to delight to have
such notices placed in prominent positions in
their stores.
A very pleasant meeting was that of the
Teachers union, 'at Franklin street School
house, on Friday evening. Some time was
taken in becoming acquainted, after thatythc
interviews, promenades, and chats were
much enjoyed, by Teachers, invited guests
and scholars. .
Music from the city Band filled the air on
Wednesday evening ; the occasion being a
serenade at the residence of J ohn McQushc,
Esq, to the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Fitch. Later in the evening, the silvery
notes of the trumpet was heard near the
residence of H. H. Elwell, Esq, where Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Elwell received their friends
and invited quests. All was merry as n mar-
l-ingc bcll. ‘- .
Rev. D. R. Austin has been sadly bereaved
during the past week, in the sudden death of
his youngest daughter, residing in Hartford.
Only a short time since she left her home a
bride. Rev. H. N. Dunning, in his prayer
on Sunday morning at the church, referred
very tenderly to the circumstances and to
the former pastor, in his bereavement.
That contest for the posit ion 'of sclectman
is by no means ended, but will be kept quiet
until after the state election. Those three
who voted by placing only the initials of
their candidate’s name on the ballot do not
propose to be thus cheated out of their vote.
Then it is absolutely necessary to have two
selectmen in the city, as we support a town
lock-up.
An extra meeting-was held in Music Hall,
on Saturday night, [under the auspices of
the Union Republican Hayes 6‘: I’Vllceler
club and was addressed by Joseph ”Barbour,
Esq., of Hartford. Hon. Dudley P. Ely,
Mayor of the city, was chosen to preside,
and sixty of the good and true men to act as
vice-Presidents. After a song by the Glee
Club, Mayor Ely thanked the audience for
the honor conferred upon him, and after a
few pungent and well chosen remarks, intro-
duced the orator of the evening, who was
received with great applause, and for one
hour and twenty minutes held his audience
spell-bound with his strains of eloquence,
comparisons of figures and records of the
two parties. IIis formation of the demo-
cratic party into divisions, putting in none,
but those who belonged there, and leaving
none out, who belonged there, was a master-
piece, and received merited applause; many
democrats were present to hear it. No ar-
raignment of the democratic party or vindi-
cation of the acts of the republican pdrty, has
been so thorough and efficient, or the danger
of electing a democratic President more fully
shown. \Ve are unable to understand how
any patriotic, moral, or christian man can be
inscnsible or blind to the danger and shame
of voting for the democratic party. If lis-
tening to such honest statements, supported
by official facts, figures and records, such
convincing arguments and stirring appeals,
will not arouse the energies of a community
and awaken it to the good honest, earnest
work in this important campaign, that com-
munity must be sluggish and hardened in-
deed. At the close of the meeting on motion
of the Mayor, three rousing cheers were
given for Hayes & Wheeler, our nominees
for Governor, and Senator, and the orator of
the evening.
Rev. A. Mend, of New Haven, made an
earnest appeal to the united cOngrcgotions
(Methodist, Baptist, and Congregationalist,)
in behalf of the prisoners’ Friends Corpora-
tion of Connecticut, and proving by facts
well substantiated, that the community are
not doing what even self-protection demands
for the reform of our criminal population.
We neglected to refer to the efficient kid
glove ushers, George, Fred and Dick, at the

congratulate our republican friends through-
out the district ou the high character and un-
nssailable “record of our national standard
bearer, Rutherford B. Hayes, and his associ-
ate on the ticket, William A. thcltr. Above
the suspicion of insinccrity or double dealing,
either in private or public life, we can rely

A Brave Old Soldier.
He was quite an old man, and he had quite
a bad limp, and he remarked, as he touched
his hat : '
“All I want is money enough to get to
Savannah. I feel I have not long to live,
and 1 want to be buried in that nice, cool
graveyard just outside of Savannah."
The appeal didn‘t open a. single wallet.
He was talking to three men who had found
a shady spot under a grocery awning, ondllc
seemed a little disappointed. Pulling a new
string, he remarkcd :
“Gentlcmcn, won’t you do something for
an old soldier ?” “Were you a soldier in the
into war?" asked one. “I was,” was the
prompt reply. “What branch of the service?”
“The heavy artillery.” “Where were you
stationed ?” '
“ Well,” slowly replied the stronger, as if
he hadn’t expected such a question, “we were
sometimes here and sometimes there. The
fact was, our artillery was so heavy that we
generally kept it on a hill The confederate
government didn't Seem to expect that us
three or four men were going to drag a big
cannon all over the country and whip the
Yankees to boot. Yes, I was wounded in
the left leg.”
“ In what action 2” was asked.
“ I never knew what they named it ; my
business was to get up and hump and knock
thunder out of a whole Union regiment to
once, and you bet I didn’t have any time to
fool around and ask what they were going to
name the battle. I went into the war to
fight, and didn’t I just throw myself,
though ?" _ .
“Did you throw yourself under a wagon '2”
quietly asked one of the three.
“ Sometimes I did, and sometimes I didn’t.
They used to let me fight any way’ to wm.
I've fit. from under mvagon and from the top
of a tree, and the boys used to call me the
wild cat.” .
“ They must have seen you ‘clawiug’ to
the rear,” suggested another of the trio.
“ Very likely, gentlemen. Sometimes I
could fight better at tile rear and 1 went back.
T I’d change and fight on the flank, and
t ’d advance and mow ’cm down ill
front."
“ Where did you say you were wounded?”
“ In the leg—just about there. The sur-
geon said that three or four bullets hit me at
once.” “Be honest, now, old man, and tell
us if you didn't get that log hurt in a mill or
around machinery ?” “Great God, do you
doubt my word ‘3" gasped the men, starting
back,
“ We do 1” they replied in chorus. He
closely scanned each face, and was indulging
in gesture to show how he deplored such
conduct toward one who had fought bravely,
when one of them said :
“ Come, now, speak the truth, and we‘ll
misc you thirty cents.” T be old man turned
to go, halted, hesitated and then replied : I
suppose, gentlemen, that I fell off a building
in Atlanta and hurt my leg, but it happened so
darned close after a battle that I could never
really tell whether the fall or the fight hurt
me the most. Now, please pass in your ten
centscs l ”

Clellun, 01' New York, secretary of war, Gid-

of the interior, Gilbert‘Wulkcr, of Virginia,

Thoughts by a Soldier.
In 1860,‘when the civil war; was impend-
ing, our president was James Buchanan,“
old bachelor and a democrat, like Gov.-Til-
den, another old bachélor, he had not force
of character enough to prevent him from
yielding control to the worst people of Ills
party. Our fratricidal war ensued. The
present crisis is not unlike the first. Flatter-
cd by the success of 1874, when many of the
better republicans were disgusted by the con-
dition of the party, the democrats who then
came into powcr in the House of Represent-
atives and many of the states, have fully
shown out their old hater of the negro
(spelled with two g’s by them) and their
ovcr-wccning anxiety tosccurc for themselves
and their fricndsuncarncd monies from the
public treasury. If the republican party is
corrupt, the democratic party is far more so,
and has now at its head the old associate and
partner of the New York thieving ring. In
the republican party, on the other hand, its
best men are coming to the front, its candi-
dates bcing well known for integrity and
ability.
Gov. Iluycs was a brave Union soldier in
the late war, has since served several years in
Congress and three terms as Governor of
Ohio. In his own state he is very strong,
booting with case for the governorsllip the
best and most popular democrats in the Uni—
ted States, being severally Senator Allen G.
Thurman, George II. Pcndlcton, and ex-
Gov. William Allen. Such a man is not an
“ unknown nobody" unless the whole demo-
cratic party amounts to “nothing.” His ju-
dicial and legislative experience is for longer
and more distinguished than Mr. Tildcn’s.
Tllc writer of this was a democrat in 1860,
and were Gen. Hancock or Senator Thurman,
either of them, nominated by the democracy
for president, he would be indifferent, think-
ing that we would have a good president no
matter which were elected; as it is, 1101th
come on from Ohio and is registered to vote
in New York for the first time in sixlccn
years—and will vote for Hayes and \thclcr.

Responsibility for Fraudulent
Registration.
The registration is over. It was intended
to elect Mr. Tildcn, and it ought to defeat
him. Put everything else aside; suppose
that on every other issue he deserves success
and yet the single fact that there are 40,000
illegal votes registered in this city, Brooklyn
and Jersey City, ought to convince every
honest citizen that it is his duty to vote against
Mr. Tildcn and his party. I’clfifogging dis-
guises will not serve here. Wc all know by
which party these things are done. IVc all
know, also, that there is one man in New
York who cannot possibly be ignorant of
them, who might have stopped them at any
moment, and who consents to this wholesale
robbery of the people just as he seemed to
consent before, when the some thing was done
by the tllcivcs of Tammany. But this time
he consents without the possibility of igno-
rance ; he looks on in silence, when :1 word
from him would stop the swindle, because
he wants to be President.
Many crimes have been laid at Mr. Tildcn’s
door, (most of them, as we think, falsely,)
but not one as black as this, of which his own
conduct accuses him. They say that he stole
railroads, wronged clients, defrauded the rev-
enue. These are mere pcccadillocs-besidc the
stupendous crime of robbing the nation of
self-government. Mr. Tilden’s friends are
trying to steal the Presidency. Filcbing rail-
roads becomcs mcro pretty larceny by com-
parisgn.

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmon-

Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death or a patient; they look up
the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemor-
rhage follows, and in fact, they clog the action of
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of‘ a dull pain in the side, con-
stipation” coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-
blmle, feelings of drowsiness and restlessneSs, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a disor-
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons so affected, if they take one or two hen-
vy colds, and if the cough in the cases be sudden-
ly checked, will find the stomach :lndlivcrcloggcd
remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are amass ol‘ sores, and
ulcerated, the result. 01‘ which is death.

immediate relief ; and p continuance of its use
