Fraud! F-r-raudit
The Tribune on Monday, commenced the
clear elucidation of the Tilden Cipher dis.
patches, and now how- the frantic cry of
fraud, f-r-raud, will ring out of the agonizcd
Tildenites. .
#
“And not a word about Levi Warner, not
cveua complimentary vote. Republics are
ungrateful, and so are
sometimes."
The above from the Bridgeport Standard's
report of the democraticCongressional Conven-
tion for this District, held in that city last
week, shows the short-sightedness as well as
heartlesspess of the democratic managers.
Here they had used Mr. Warner as a door
mat and wiped their feet upon him, and
when he meckly obeys their injunctions to
take himself out of their way, not even one,
poor, meaningless resolution of confidence
condolence or commiscration for his igno—
minious and mortifying slaughter, is offered
to salve even the humiliating smart. This is
nota good way to “maintain harmony” in
the party and win a victory for its candidate
and we shall see if Mr. Warner and his few
friends are the dumb dogs to submit to such
a corlspicuous and wanton indignity.

Now for New Voters.
The next election occurs Tuesday, Nov.
5th, at'which State Officers and Congress-
men will bc chosen. It will probably be
an exciting election and all who can will
want to vote. The Registrars have already
commenced making up their lists of voters,
and in this issue of the GAZETTE advertise
when they will hold their first public ses-
sion. To scoommodate persons desiring
to be made voters they will receive appli-
cations at their places 'of business ot, any
time prior to Friday of the third week,
but no names whatever can be added to
the list “to be made” after that day. The
Registrars will furnish printed blanks, free,
and impart all necessary information.
A'post of the G. A. R. is about being
formed in South. Norwalk. One was in
existancc here a few years ago; but its
leading ofiiccrs were soon only too glad to
have it die. However willing old soldiers
may be to assist worthy comrades, they
have an abhorrcnce of the “old soldier"
tramp who is eternally making his way to
Boston where he will be ‘sumptously pro-
vided for by his wealthy friends.
Danbury Fair.
Nothing was thought of in Danbury last
week, but the wonders of the Town Fair-
Thc Fair is reported to'have been remarkably
good, and to have been largely attended. As
we have had occasion, heretofore, to denounce
the management for permitting the sale of
liquor, gambling, &c., upon the grounds to
an unlimited extent, we now take pleasure in
commending them for the excellent mann: r
in which the Fair was conducted. But littlc
drunkenness was seen, no liquor—not even
Schenck being allowed to be sold and gamb
ling and swindling devices were suppressed.
Mr. Starr of Litchfield exhibited a very large
string of splendid blooded Alderneys. from
his Echo Farm and the general exhibition of
cattle was said to have been the best seen to-
gether in this State for the past seven years.
On Thursday there was a collission on the
track by which a couple of the drivers got
slightly injured.
On Friday in the Running Race one of the
Horses dashed into a crowd of people and
very seriously injured Mr. Bundle the Hat
manufacturer, crushing him through the
picket fence; it was thought at the time that
he was killed, but such was not the case; he
has however been quite badly injured.
Change of Time, I). & N. R. R.
A new Time Table went into effect on the
Danbury Railroad yesterday. The 9.20 am.
train down from Danbury and the 2.27 p. m.
train up from Norwalk are dropped. The
train which formerly left Danbury at 12. In.
now leaves at 1p. In. There are also a few
minutes difference on other trains.

How to be Made a Voter.
There have been so many changes in the
State Election laws of late years, it may be
well to state just what is to be done in order
to be made a voter. First, then, the person
desiring to be made, must make an applica-
tion to theRegistrarsmr to one,of them, to be
registered under the list “To be made,” stat—
ing his name, residence, the date when he be-
came or will become twenty-one years of
age, the date when he became a resident of
this State and town, and if an alien when he
became a resident of the United States. The
applicant is not obliged to make this applies-
tion personally, but it can be made for him
by any elector of the town. Secondly, after
having been properly registered, he will ap-
pear beforc the Selectmen and Town Clerk,
at one of their duly advertised sessions, and
take the freeman‘s oath. Having been thus
admitted his name will be placed on the regis-
ter list, and on Election day his ballot. will be
received the same as all others. Remember,
in order to be made a voter, your name must
be registered on or before Friday, Oct. _18th.
If not so registered it will do no good to go
before the Selectmen, for you cannot be made
until next year-pfd‘ithy can consider only
those names presented to them by the regis-
trars.
There is to be no voting on certificate
whatever. An elector of the State who has
not been a voter in town before, must proceed
the same as a young man who has never been
an elector. An elector who has ever voted
in town before, and has bcen in the state one
year and in town six months can have his
name put on the list by the registrars and will
not be obliged to go before the Selectmen at
all, '
Congressional districts -
Fourth District Democratic Con-
vention. '
trict convened Thursday last, at Bridgeport,
~ to nominate acandidatc to succeed chi War-
ner in Congress. A caucus of Fair-field
County delegates was held to fix upon
this county’s choice (the nominee being con-
"ccded to our county,) with the following l‘C-
sult:
FIRST INFORMAL BAILCT.-:W. F. Taylor,
of Danbur , 27; F. W. Bruggerhof. of Da-
rien. 14; ‘. A. Marden, of Stamford, 16;
G. A. Carter, of Stamford, 1. .
SECOND INFORMAL BALLOT—1W. F. Tay-
lor, 23; F. W. Brnggerliof, 2‘2: F. A. Mar-
den, 12. '
THIRD INFORMAL BALLOT—F. W. Bru, —
gcrlrof, 28 ;'W. F. 'l‘a 'lor, 29; F. A. Marden . .
FOURTH INFORMAL BALLOT.——F. W. Brug-
gerhof, 25 ; W- F. Taylor, 31 ; F. A. Mar-
den 8.
Firm INFORMAL BALLOT.—-W. F. Taylor,
28 ; F. W. Bruggerhof, 29; F. A, Marden,7.
FORMAL MENTION—F. W. Bruggcrhof,33;
W. F. Taylor, 31; necessary to a choice, 33.
And so Mr. Bruggerhof was declared the
- nominee of the caucus, which then adjourned.
Tire convention then convened and H. H.
Barbour was chosen President, and Albert
Relyca and D. S. Sholes, Secretaries.
lion. Nelson J. Taylor as chairman of the
Fair-field County caucus, presented the choice
of the caucus, Hon.'F. W. Bruggcrhof, of
Dorian; Hon. J. C. Smith presented the
name of George W. Poet, of North Canarn.
FIRST INFORMAL BALLoT.—Whole number
of votes 133; F. W. Bruggerhof, of Darien,
44; W, F. Taylor, of Danbury, 22; George
W. Poet, of North Canaan, 46; F. A. Mar-
den, of Stamford, 13; E. W. Seymour, of
Litchfield, :8. ’ j
The name of Mr. Mardcn was then with-
drawn. - ‘
SECOND INFORMAL BALLOT.——Whole num-
ber of votes, 131; necessary to nominate; 66;
F. W. Bruggerhof, 72; G. W. Feet, 46; W.
F. Taylor,’12; E. W. Seymour, 1. ‘
The name of Hon. W. F. Taylor was
withdrawn, and Hon. F. W. Bruggerhof was
nominated by acclamation.
And .so it transpires that Mr. Warner, who
by all decent usage was entitled to it; that
W. F. Taylor, who ought to have .had the
nomination years and years ago; that Galen
Carter, who had expected it and had been
promised it sure; that Marden, who was
made President of their State Convention
just to help make his congressionalnomina-
tion certain ; all, all are thrust aside to con-
fer the honor upon their new convert, Mr.
Bruggcrbof.‘ Mr. B. is a gentleman of. the
highest 'respectability, but unfortunately he
is allied to a party where mere-personal worth
and gentility don't count. With 'a dozen ri-
val candidates soured against him, and old
and scarred veteran democrats jealous of his
recent alliance with their party, our friend
Bruggcrhof has no easy contest before him,
even in this, usually strong democratic dis-
trict. The Republicans have only to work
with earnestness and courage to win a victory
for their candidate, this time.
._ ,HenrylAglen. .
The tragic‘dcath of )the above named gen-
tleman, who has all his life been a worthy
and respected citizen of Norwalk, was one
of the saddest incidents in‘_the Adelphi chap-
ter of horrors. He had for many months
past been declining in health from some un-
known and occult malady. At the advice of
Dr. Lyues, he last year 'went to Europe to
consult medical scientists there, and with a
belief that the voyage would at least prove
beneficial. He returned late last fall slight-
.ly improved, and the past summer has been
in the habit of going up and down, twice a
week, in our steamboat for the double pur-
pose of a sail and consulting a city physician.
He was on'his accustomed errand when
lauunchcd into eternity by the boiler cxplo:
sion. His body was rescued from the water,
but‘hc gasped his last breath on being placed
in the rescuing boat. For many years he was
amcmbcr of our well known building firm
of Allen &. Price. His friends were many
and his enemies nonc. liis struggles for life
and final tragic death, touches all the chords
of pity in our natures, and his loss to'his
family is that. of a kind and» indulgent hus-
band and father, and to this community, one
of it's most upright and respected citizens.
His funeral was attended by Our Brothers’
Lodge, of which he was a member, and by
.Butler Lodge of SouthNo’r'walk.
- Another Victim.
Mrs. Lord, who was so terribly scaldcd in
the Adelphi explosion, expired Sunday morn-
ing. Her burns were doing well under the
attentive care of Mrs. Dr. Pardcc, but a com-
plication of other diseases developed and end-
ed the life of. the sufferer.
Samuel Brooks a workman in James
Cousius‘ Shoe Factory, died last week Mon-
day evening from the effects of scalds rc-
ceivcd attire Adelplricxplosion. He leaves
an interesting family in poor circumstances.
His funeral was attended on Wednesday,
a. m. last, by thnix Engine 00,. (of
which he was a member) and his fellow
workan from the shoe shop.
Henry Laricrman, injured on the Adelphi,
dicdlust Thursday night. - He was a Ger-
man by birth, and was in the employ of Mr.
Bradley, of Saugatuck.
Fire Parade.
The Annual Parade of our Borough Fire
Department on Wednesday the 23d inst., bids
fair to be a fine one. Hope Hose Company
have invited three companies as their guests,
viz: Humane Hose, of Danbury, Atlantic
Ilosc, of Stamford, and Putnam Hose, of
South Norwalk. The Pioneer: H‘. d: L.
Company have invited two companies from
abroad, viz: Washington H. & L., of Dan-
bury, and Old Wolf H. d: L., of South Nor-
walk.
Wc are glad to see the dry goods men pros-
pering, despite the low prices and cheap
steamboat fares to New :York. Ferd. B.
Smith is erecting a pretty cottage on West
.Avenue, and Sylvester VanHooscar is re-
painting his showy residence adjacent. May
success over attend these worthy and enter-
prising knights of the yard stick.
Our Norwalk Clergymen fearlessly per—
formed whnt they decided to be their duty
in the No License matter. Nearly all of
subject, discussed it at evening meetings in
public halls, and even visited various points
in the suburbs of borough and city, to arouse
the people and induce them to vote against li-
censing the sale of liquors. In the Borough,
Sunday evening, they held a Union Meeting
at the 2d M. E. church to advance the cause.
The city clergyman also took it for their sub-
ject Sunday evening. "

A Good Concert.
We are to have a first class musical en-
tertainment at the Opera House on Thurs
day evening the 10m inst by therenowncd
SPAULDING BELL RINGERS. They have
visited us several times and have always
given good satisfaction. In addition to
Georgie Dean Spaulding, (among the best of
lady Cornetists,) they have this season the
well-known Jepp’s, who were here last sea-
son with the Berger Family, and a fine
company of other talented artists.» Their
entertainment is sure to bc a good one and
is deserving of public patronage. They are
back to old time prices as regards admission.
See their adv.
Kate Claxton.
This noted and famous actress it will be seen
by adv. is to perform here in Norwalk at
Music Hall, city, . on Monday evening next,
supported by her full company in the well-
known play of the “ Two Orphans." It is
of course useless for us to say anything
about her, her reputation as a fine and ac-
complished actress being so well establish-
ed that shc can hardly fall of drawing :0
full house. 'So seldom do these first class
actors visit us, that. when they do come
they ought to be greeted with overflowing
houses. Go and hear her.

AbOut this time expect autumn tints.
The democracy of this Congressional DiS- .
them have preached in their pulpits on the ‘
'l‘oivn Election.
That votcr must have been hard to please,
who could not get suited with the almost
endless variety of tickets in the field yesiter-
day. The Counters have a night of it before
them, as we write, and never before was it
so emphatically true that “you can’t tell who
is elected till after election.” Tltb temper-
ance people made a vigorous. effort for a con-
tinuance of “N o Licence,” but their adversit-
rics madcjcvcn more desperate endeavors to
carry their side of- the issue.
The individuals on all the tickets are
worthy citizens and whoever is found to be
elected will no doubt serve the. public Wllh
honest fidelity. A pointed attempt was made
by some disgusted dem‘ocrat to cast a slur
upon Ex-Warden Hyatt by having him put
on as one of the Hag/wards, but he can bear
it, and, if elected, we hope he will qualify
and ofllcially corral all those who have at-
tempted to be so funny at his expense.
Lewis Hubbell, states that he saw a man
(and he States his name) vote a whole packet
of “License” ballots, and also saw them
shoved into the ballot box. .
airmail!
We give below the full vote so far as
reached by the counters this Tuesday morn-
ing. There were three regular tickets in‘
the fieldand a number 'of split tickets, and
still the voters were not satisfied. The
Scratching was fearful, especially (for a
wonder) on the Democratic ticket. Four
men, selected from the three parties, com-
menced counting the tickets at 5 o’clock,,
and continued without cessation until about
daylight, when the Registrars carried the
boxes 'to thc‘Town Clerk‘s office and per-
mitted the exhausted counters to go home
to breakfast. They will mectthis morning
and complete the count. after which the
Registrars must compile the returns from
all the districts, declare the result, and
make their official report.‘ Probably they
will be able to complete their labors some
time this afternoon. . .
The vote on License was soon counted and
made known. »
The entire Republican ticket is probabl

A Half Century of Service. -
Eli B. Bennett, Esq, for fifty years Towq
Treasurer of Norwalk, was yesterday elect-
cd for the fifty-first time. The long and
faithful service rendered this town by
Mr. Bennett has Source 9. parallel in the.
whole nation. Not -only has there” never
been the error of apenny in his accounts,
but times out of number,“ he has paid the
town’s orders, when there' was not a
cent of ‘the town’s money in the Treasury.
Mr. Bennett, already has, as we know, the
gratitude of our best citizens, but the town
as a whole ought to make him some fitting
acknowledgement of its indebtednessto him
for such unparalleled service. The town can
abundantly. afford and should only be too
glad to vote some fitting testimonial, which
its now aged servant might look upon with
pleasure for the remainder of his days and
transmit to his descendants as an heir-loom
and incentive of equal public spirit and
private virtue.
The Americas did not make her‘ trip to
New York Monday. This gave rise to many

finish these repairs. Commodore White was
in town yesterday and testified before Austin’s

party who has violated the law by selling
liquor in the town of Norwalk the past

If the Selectmen do not see fit to question
to closely, we understand that the County
Commissioners have power to pass upon the
qualifications of all applicants, especially if
there are any objections made to them or
filed on applications.

We find in Anthonys’ Photograph Bulle-

that we have no old fogy artist, but one
who is not only up to the times, but
the first to adopt any improvement in the
photograph art. The Journal says :—“The
