The Result.

Hip’ hurrah!

Senatorial Districts.
In the IOth Diitrict, a glorious victory was
wan for the Republicans‘. This dark hole of
democracy was nobly_ redeemed and our
friends in Weslport who contributed so
largely tollio result, have praises showered
down upon them from all quarters. lusscll
'l‘omliuson, our successful candidate, is an
able business man. ' Honest and capable and
will prove a must valuable Legislator.
The 11th District Senator holds over.
The 12th, our-own District, fought a hard,
but successful battle, despite special efforts to
defeat our candidate. Every, town in the
District gave a Republican majority as the
result of careful organization and incessant
and faithful 760M}. Herein Norwalk, the
fight was intensely opened, but by noon, the
courage of our opponents waned and we roll-
edout one of our old time majorities.
In Wilton, a glorious contest was waged
and victory 11 is nobly won at the polls. In
New Canaan, our friends struggled against
unequal odds and vanquished the enemy
despite their confidence and liberal spread of
“salt.”
Little Durieu, covered herself all over
with glory. Being the home of our oppo—
nent’s Congressional candidate and he a man
of conceded local popularity, there was
much anxiety over the result there, but
grandly did she emerge from the conflict.
Stamford also, with a heavy majority to
overcome and local issues perplexing our
cause, came out of the fray, with one of her
heaviest Republican majorities. There was
hard work done there by Sam. Fesseudcn,
(who is returned to the House,) and by one
and all of our friends, determined to win a
victory for our cause and for Oliver Hoyt,
our Senator and one of Stamford’s noblest
citizens. Old Greenwich, again redeemed
herself and democratic stronghold as she: is
gives us a thumping Republican majority
and two Republican Representatives, one
being Benjamin Wright, member of the
State Central Committee and to whose skill-
ful and indefatigable labors, we are not
only indebted for our triumph in Greenwich,
blit also for our victory throughout the
entire 12th District. Wright has clearly and
nobly earned, as all will concede, a just
claim to the honor of succeeding Oliver Hoyt
in the Senate.

Liquor Licenses.
The County Commissioners will meet in
the Court of Cemmon Pleas Room, Gazette
Building, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov.
12th and 13th, for the purpose of granting
licenses for the sale of liquors. The Com-
missioners have adopted' a new plan for
issuing licenses this year. Heretoforc
licenses have been issued for $100 to every
man who came' along with an application
and a paper that purported to be ahead.
Under the new rule the Board will use the
power given them by the law and grade the
licenses from $100 to 8500 according to the
amount of business done. The following is
the scale of prices adopted 1
Druggists doing a purely Drug business
$100
Hotel sales under $2,500, 100
All dealers on sales of $1,500, 100
“ " 3,000 150
“ “ 5,000 200
“ ,‘ 10,000 300
“ “ 20,000 400
Over . “ 20,000 500
Parties? will be required to make oath ,as to
the amount of sales and must bring their
bondsmen with them, who also will be re-
quired to give evidence of their financial
ability as bondsmen in the amount of $1,000
each. If any parties wish to offer objections
to the licensing of any dealers, opportunity
will be given to hear those objections. The
examinations, it is said, will be. strict, and
we hope will be the means of closing up
many objectionable places. There will be a
struggle probably with some applicants as
all who can will wish to get a $100 license
based upon a business of $1,500. The
Commissioners will have plenty of business
looking out for such cases.

, Borough Election.
The Borough Registrars are now at work

The Senatorial Question.
x1311 nuns rimsuu'rsii. n. nanaisou.
New Haven has attempted to take time
by the forelock onthecenatorial question,
and at a meeting of their 'Central Republican
Club, passed resolutions strongly urging and
endorsing Henry B. Harrison for the place.
The Palladium says he is “precrnincntly fil-
ted by character and ability for the posi-
IZion of United States Senator. A republican
from the birth of the party he has never wa-
vcrcd in his attachment to it, and it would
be only a meet reward for his distinguished
and long-continued servi as to now elect him
to the United States Senate.”
MERIDEN 111111.31:sz 0. II. I‘LATI‘.
After referring to the action of the New
Haven club, the Mcridcn Repuplz'cau says:
“Mr. Harrison isa very worthy gentleman,
of irreproachable character, and all that is
said of his ability and fitness for the posrtion
will be grantcd,but we respectfully beg leave
to differ with the IIavcn morning papers
when they say that all this section of_ the,
state is unanimous in favor of Mr. Harrison.
They should not assume to speak for New
Haven Country until they know something
of what they are talking about. Mr. Harri.
son may be the candidate of the city of New
Havenabut the rest of the county is entitled
to consideration. We have here in Meriden
a gentleman whose services in behalf of the
Republican party are entitled to some recog-
nition, and all that can be said of Mr.
Harrison’s character and fitness can thh
equal justice be said of the Hon. 0. li..1’latt,
He is certainly the choice of this section of
the State, and prominent Republicans from
all parts of Connecticut havc'aud are urging
Mr. Platt’s claims for the posrtion. We might
paraphrase the comments of the Palladium
upon Mr. Harrison’s nomination, and apply
them to Mr. Platt. He is pro eminently fitted
by character and ability for the posrtiou of
United States Senator. A republican from
the birth of the party, he has never wavered
in his attachment to it, and it would be only
a meet reward for his distinguished and long-
continued services to now elect him.to the
United States Senate. He is unquestionably
the choice first, last, and, all the time, of the
Republicans of this section of the State, and
certainly their claims to theeousrdcration of
the party at large cannot litiguored.”
srrauronn ransnxrs WILLIAM T. iiixon.
In the great republican victory in this
State, on Tuesday last, Fairfield county may
fairly claim the banner. Hitherto, for a
number of years, considered more reliably
democratic than any county in the State, it.
comes out of Tuesday’s struggle with over a
thousand republican majority, wrth twenty-
six out of twenty-nine republican representa—
tives elected, and two republican Senators.
This is doing tolerable well for an “old dem-
ocratic strong—hold.” _
Now we think that when the question of
electing a U. S. Senator, in place of Wm. H.
Barnum, comes before the legislature, Fair—
field county may very appropriately have
something to say on the subject. . W e know
there is no lack of able and experienced pub-
_lic men in the party from among whom the
legislature may easily select a eanidate worthy
of the high ofiice. But we present our hon—
ored townsmeu, Ex—Governor Wm. T. Minor,
as the peer of the best that can be named. _
man of the highest personal character, of_ripc
experience in political affairs, of unquestion-
able ability, aud one who is known through-
out the State having already occupied the
highest political office in the commonwealth.
His election to the U. S. Senate wrll
crown the great republican victory of
Tuesday with its most substantial advantage,
and we shall have in the place of Wm. H
Barnum a republican statesman of broad
views and enlightened judgement, whose
presence in the Senate will restore Connecti-
cut’s lost prestige in the highest legislative
body of the nation, and once more bring back
to our State the national distinction it enjoy-
cd in the days of Buckingham and Ferry.»—
Slamford advocate.
Gov. Minor will no doubt receive not only
a strong endorsement from this county, but
the support of many others from different
sections of our State. He is ripe in scholar;
ship, learned in the law, having been a popu-
lar and concededly able judge on the bench
—-and more and better than all, he is a man
of clear, broad and correct business qualifica-
tions, and his election would not only be an
honor to the State, but most servicable with—
al, to it, and the political party making the
selection. -~
HARTFORD wiLL PRESENT MARSHALL JEWELL.
The Hon. MARSHALL JEWELL will also be a
strong and leading cafididate. His ripe ex—
perience in public affairs and peculiar advan-
tages as Post Master General, coupled with
his conceded ability as a business man, will
ensure him a very formidable support, dc-
spite the fact that Hartford enjoys the honor
of being the home of one U. S. Senator al-
ready. Gov. Jewell has done much also
towards keeping up tiie'united strength of
our party in the State, and from this stand-
point it looks to us that he and cx—Govcrnor
Minor are likely to become the leading candi-
dates bcforc the nominating caucus of our
approaching Legislature. Hon. S. W. Kel-
logg. of New Haven County, fis also in-
fluentially named for the place, and Hon.
Augustus Braudagce, if not Representative
Wait, also, are likely to have considerable
hacking. But of one thing we are certain,
Connecticut will be again represented in the
Seutate by a man of high character and con-
spicuous abilities. Assured of thus much
we can possess our souls in patience, as due
weight is given the claims of every candidate
and of all localities.

Obituary.
The sudden and startling death of Stephen
E. Keelcr ESq , of New Canaan, was briefly
mentioned in our last. Mr. Keelcr was
one of New Cauaau’sbcst citizens. Unos-
tentatious, but in all things reliable and
honorable. He had been a reader of the
GAZETTE for more than thirty years. His
loss will be deeply felt in the town, the
church and most crushingly, in his family
so unexpectedly bereft. His demise was
without premonition or warning, yet his
pure life gave ample evidence that the sum-
mons found him prepared.

The body of A. T. Stewart, the famous

It is supposed to have been stolen for. the
purpose of extortiug money from Mrs.
Stewart, who has nearly completed a large
and expensive mausoleum in the Garden
City Cathedral, in which she had purposed
to permanently locate the remains. The
police have been veryr actively at work
endeavoring to find the body and the rob-
here who stole it, but with what success is
as yet unknown. although according to hit-
est New York papers they have been suc-
cessful in finding out by the aid of blood-
liounds, how the thieves got out of the
churchyard with it, and'they pretend to
think that they will be able to clear up the
mystery in the course of a day or two. It
is one of the boldest and most daring pieces
of rascality that has come to light in along

prising ghouls will bc secured and properly
punished.

DEAR GAZETTE :—Sojouruing in‘your city
over the Sabbath, I took the liberty of a
stroll which finally led me down Main Street,
through which a crowd of humanity seemed
threading its way toward the ‘ various
churches, with faces radiant with a hope
that an hour spent in the sanctuary would
atone for the wickedness they must encoun-
ter the coming week, for men uow-a-days are
the same as in the days of Baron Munchau-
sen—“Lord forgive us the sin we are about
to committ”—but no one seemed to notice or
care that a pestiferous atmosphere surrounded
them in their struggle for “the place where
two ways meet ;" and as I looked down the
street, I shuddcred to think how indifferent
men grow toward their fellows, for while I
stood there with a heart swelling with all the
pity and humanity of a modest Christian,
something struck me, and I looked about to
see if the man in a blue coat had not slapped
me on the shoulder as a modest hint to
“move on,” but it proved, simply, the shock
of an idea that, at the same moment, in the
different apothecaries along the thorough-
fare, were men of science and sngacity peer—
ing througha half-hidden window, with a
malicious smile playing over their thin, com-
pressed lips, and a quinine twinkle in the
corner of their eyes, wondering how many
bottles of their villiauous compounds would
be sold during the coming week to save the
lives (f) of this thoughtless people who dared
to wade through the dirt upon the sidewalks,
and open their lungs to the stench from the
gutters on either side of the street, filled
with old hitching posts, paper, and all man?
nor of death dealing filth. It would seem to
a stranger that the Health Officer and Hy-
drant Keeper might appear at a suitable
hour, Saturday evening, and see that the
street he put in proper dress for the Sabbath.
What think ye, citizens, shall this principal
street of your city continue to blush at its
own nastiness? Daxnuax.

democratic successors elected. ' Senators
Dorsey,". Spencer, Connover and Patterson
will also certainly he succeeded by democrats;
and these changes, if none others occurred,
would leave the next Senate with thirty-two
republicans, forty-three democrats and one
independent.
Connecticut has elected a republican Leg-
islature, which gives a republican in place of
Senators Barnum; Pennsylvania has gone
republican. which means that Senator Don
Cameron will be re—eiected. No other changes
are probable, and the next Senate should
therefore stand—Democrats, 42 ; republicans,
33, ,und independent, 1.
0
Senator Conkiing.
Mr. Conkling has scored another victory.
Last winter he made himself the undoubted
master of the republican party, and yester-
day’s election makes him master of New
York. He will go to the Senate for another
six years; but will he serve out his term ?
The master of the republican party and
the master of the great State of New York
may prove in the Convention of, 1880 a big—
ger man than old Grant—Herald.
One of the most gratifying results to us
of the election outside of our own state is the
return to congress ofGeucral Joseph R. Haw-
ley from the Hartford, Conn, district. Gen-
eral Hawley is one of the purest, ablest, and
best men who have occupied a place in the
House of Representatives for many 'years.
His return at this time is a most gratifying
result to the republicans of the. entire coun-
try. His commanding influence, purity of
character, and recognized abilities will surely
make him one of the leaders of the next
House—Seneca Falls, N. 17., Courier.
The election of Hon. Vincent Colyer, of
Darien, will be aHv/aluabie help to the Re-
publicans in the ousc. Those who were
with him in the Legislature 'in 1877 will be
glad to see him back agniu.——Meriden Re-

Did you hear something
"Veslport ?
Our Borough Warden is the ;_most cheer-
ful victim of Tuesday's ‘chrwIielming de-
feat, that we have encountered. ‘
The “only greatest : show. on earth"— Wm.
II. Barnum and his “mule team."
“Beautiful in their. lives, in death they
are not dividcd”—Relyea and Barbour.
' “United they stood—divided they foil.”
The second cause of the Democratic dc-
fcat was the lavish, and probably corrupt,
use of money in Milc's interest—Bridgeport
Farmer.
The above, is the meanest attack we have
yet seen made on the democracy. Is it
possible that democrats sold their votes for
money? Forever perish the thought.
The Greenbackers seemed to have been
governed by a principle, while the democracy
was apparently moved by no other or higher
motive than to win the offices. -
We know at least six distinguished re-
publicans who are willing to stauda nomi-
nation for U. S. Senator, who couldn’t
possibly accept the nomination for Gov-
crnor.
About the only thing the labor ticket
carried this way, was dismay and terror
into the democratic ”ranks.
What a pity that Ex-Gov. Marshall Jewell
doesn't happen to live in New Haven at this
particular juncture.
“I. H. B." writes from Hartford: Every-
body's question this morning is, “Well how
do you account for it f" I don’t know that
it can be better answered than in the words
of_a well-known politician of this city, who
gorng home one night and very late, and
very, very tired, was- met by his wife with
the' announcement that she was feeling
quite ill. “I feel dizzy," said she, “and
have a strange sort of swimming sensation
in my head. What do you suppose it is
Edward?” “I [hie] really don't know, my
dear,” said Edward, steadyiug himself
against the bed-poet; but I feel [hie] just
that way myself. I think it.[hic] must be
in the atmosphere.” It is the easiest, and I
reckon the most reasonable way to account
for the sweeping republican victory in Con-
necticut yesterday—it was “in the atmos-
phere.” Various local and personal causes
may have contributed to the result in greater
or less degree, but the main fact in the
situation is, that underlying all these there
was a universal disghst with and distrust of
the democratic party. . That was “in the
atmOSphcre,” not only in Connecticut, but
throughout the country, and that accounts
better than anything else for the results.
.We resent with indignation Bromley’s
assault upon the purity of “Cloves" past
ife. ,' .
That Bridgeport should have defeated
both N. Wheeler and W. D. Bishop shows
that the New York and New Haven road is
not all potent in that section after all, while
the election of State Senator Miles to con-
gress from that district is a phenomenon
that is less difficult to understand, when one
is told that Senator‘ Barnum rather helped
than opposed it, as Mr. Miles is abusiness
partner' of his—Hartford 002'. Springfield
Republican.
How the mules baulkcd all over Fairficid
County.
The .Greenbackers stood manfully by their
ticket, and the vote cast for McKay was cer-
tainly an encouraging beginning, as in his
case the new party was strong enough to
force the democracy over to the support of
their candidate.
Our very young and worthy- friends, Rel-
yea and Barbour, should not be unduly cast
down. When such veteran Mzoleteers as
Senator Barnum, President Bishdp and Di-
rector Nat. Wheeler, get routed, the youth
and beauty of the sadjeyed attorneys should
suffer no decay because of their unexpected
defeat. ’
There was something kindly, touchingiy
tender, in the remark and invitation of
wouldbe-Senator Barbour—«“We shall all be
up there [at Hartford]. Come and see us.”
But then, both sides cannot win, and some-
how, it seemed to be our turn this year.
We always did have a tender side towards
the youngmnd "young candidates” in particu-
larare always objects of special interest. The
Senatorial Candidate in the 101b, on whose
chin and lip the down of puberty is scarcely
yet visible, and the adolescent candidate in
the 12th district, together formed such an
unripe quantit y of youth and beauty, that
we could not help feeling a tinge of sadness
an their high hopes of success were “nipped
in the tender bud by the withering, killing
frost" of last Tuesday. Let them not give
way to despondency however. If thgv wil1
each diligently eschew politics and dig away
at their law cases and books, they will yet
rise in the world. The legal roadway .is
crowded with common-place attorneys, but
there is abundant “room at the top,” and up
ward we point our two young friends, with
hope and pride.
Our Washington boys came home and

New Hampshire has a Republican legisla—
ture, which ensures the return of their pres-
ent. able Senator Wadleigh, and also sends a
solid Representation to the next House.
Representative. elect Rowan‘findiug a spe-
cial fight was being made, against him, just
rolled up his sleeves. and “sailed in,” and
came pretty near polling all the votes cast.
The defeat of our friend Bruggerbof goes
to prove that he is entirely too respectable a
gentleman to make a satisfactory and success-
ful democratic candidate. llc had better

Down Town, or our 3d; voting. district,

can vote, Tuesday, as note the result now and

Hou.Fred Bruggcrhof can console himself
with the thought that the people were less
willing to part with him than with Mr.
Miles.
One of the drollcries of the election is nar-
rated by an eye witness who was present at
the Westport polls. As the utter rout of the
Democracy became apparent, the rival candi-
dates for judge of probate stood watching the
voting. Judge Taylor with blanched cheeks,
fearing defeat :aud Cashier Woodworth, the
Republican candidate, equally frightened for
fear he would be elected; Judge Taylor finally

City Items,
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. '
A very amicable meeting of the members
of the Old Hen Club was held on the evening
after the election. The president not having
beenacandidate for office, was more than
usually communicative, and affiliated cheer-
fully with members who were politically op.
posed to him. All seemed pleased that their
candidate for the Senate and Assembly were
elected. '
The remains of Clarence Knapp, who died
in the far \Vesf, arrived at the depot on Sun-
day evening.
As the third and last election of the season
is to be a city election, the subject begins to
receive attention. Candidates for the vari-
ous ofiices are frequently mentioned. For
mayor, Messrs. P. L. Cunningham, C. F.
Hallock,Judgc Craw, Hon. D. P Ely, N.
Taylor and J. W. Powell are named. The
mayor has yet many friends who would work
for his_electiou but positively declines to allow
his name to be used. For councilman there
are many candidates, but it is supposed that
none who opposed the “ordinance” can pos-
sibly be elected.
The monthly Sunday school concert, of the
Congregational church, was held on Sunday
evening. The exercises being participated in
very largely by the smaller scholars made it
exceedingly interesting. Owing to the illness
of W. H. Benedict, the‘ superintendent, the
committee of arrangements had the exercises
in their charge. The music under the direc-
tiouof Prof. Disbrow, aided by Mr. Puuzcl;
and the choir, was of a high order.

St. Mary’s Catholic Church Fair opened on
the evening of the 6th at the Opera House,
and continued throughout the entire week.
The articles are numerous and the majority
of them are costly and useful. comprising
tons of coal, barrel of flour, chest of tea,
black walnut bedroom set, blankets, bridle
and saddle, library case, sets of chairs, mir-
rors, sewing machine, clock, shoes, hats,
millinery goods, dress goods, silver sets,
three or four kinds, sets of chairs, dozen
shirts, parlor stoves, dressing case, lounge,
easy chair, paintings, statuary, books, cakes,
&c., &c., See. The shares run from 5 cents,
to 25 excepting two or three articles which
are 50 cents per share. The admission is
10 cents. The fair solicitors are models of
politeness and zeal. Temperate refresh-
ments can be had at moderate prices and
dancing takes place each evening to the
strains of Prof. Martin’s Orchestra;Band.
The management is most excellent under
the supervision of Father Russell, and
assistant Father O’Brien, and altogether the
fair reminds of the old time ones, the pro-
ceeds of which beautificd our town by the
erection of St. Mary’s Church on West
Avenue. Saturday evening aSilvertiitiug
Ice Pitcher with accompanying pieces,
valued at about $100 was put up for votes,
which cost ten cents .each, the gentleman
receiving the highest number of votes during
the fair to receive the pitcher. As we go to
press the vote stands Warden '1‘. II. Morison
64, Mayor W. S. Ilanford, South Norwalk,
50; Mr. W. H. Earle, East Avenue, 40; Dr.
Lockwood 20 ; Ex-Wardcn J. W. Hyatt 27;
John P. Beatty 5; Dr. I’urdec, ‘Sonth Nor-
walk, 2 votes. The numerous friends of
Dr. Nolan made scycral attempts to bring
him into the contest but he strenously rc-
fused the use of his name. Friends of Ex—
Mayor Ely, and E. A. Woodward, Esq, of
South Norwaik, withheld their names in
"favor of Mayor IIanford. The contest bids
fair to be a spirited one as the names of
J udgc A. 13. Woodward, Gen. Couch, E. P.
Weed, Levi Warner, Hon. Talmadge Baker,
Crofut & Knapp, Rev. Drs. Mead and
Spencer,-Stiles Curtis, James Cousins, S. E.
Olmstead, Asa Smith, Gen. Smith, Gen

tinguished citizens are mentioned to be
entered this week. A prominent fireman
predicts that a member of the department
either iii South Norwaik, or the Borough,
would be the Black Horse in the race. We
shall see.

Democratic Complaints of Sena-
tor Barnum.
Leading democratic politicians make scr-
ious charges against Senator Barnum‘s course
as chairman of the national democratic com-
mittee. It is alleged that he has used his
position solely to try and secure a democratic
majority in the Connecticut legislature in.
stead of looking after the interest of the
democrats over the whole country. His re-
moval from the chairmanship of the national
committee is threatened.
Senator Barnum thinks it wasn’t
so-mucli ot a storm after all.
New YORK, November 8.—Seuator Wil-
lian' II. Barnum of Connecticut said at the
Fifth Avenue hotel this morning that he
did not know but the result of the fall elec-
tions would have a beneficial effect upon the
democratic party after all. For one he was
not discouraged. The difference of opinion
on financial questions had somewhat inter-
fered with the success of the democracy, he
admitted. The defeat of General Butler for
Governor of Massachusetts he thought was
a great blow to greenbackers; Asa party
they must dissolve sooner or later. Ilada
presidential election been held this fall, Sen-
ator Barnum thinks the democracy would
have polled a much larger vote and the re-
sult might have been different.

RICHARD n. HUBBARD.
Governor ofState'of Connecticut.
.1 ~11; PROOIMA'TJON.
Following the recommendations of the
President of the ‘ United-States, I have
apporutcd Thursday, the‘ 28th day of No-
vember, instant, as a day of public Thanks-
giying to Almighty God for His protecting
care and goodness to the people of this state
during the year now drawing to a close ; and
especially: ‘
Thanksgiving for the blessing of health
on our Commonwealth, and that the destroy-
ing plague has not been suffered to come
nigh our dwellings.
' 'hanksgiving for the blessing of peace on
our nation, and that we have been saved
from the consternations of war, whilst other
nations have been suffered to come nigh our
dwellings.
Thanksgiving fcr the blessing of peace
on our nation, and that we have been saved
from the consternations of war, whilst other
nations have been vexed with tumults and
wars, and rumors of war.
Thanksgiving to the Lord of the harvest
for fruitful seasons, and the overflowing
abundance of the harvest.
By a contrast, which ought to be and
except for our own folly andimprovidcuce
would be, a flagrant contradiction, we are
in the midst at the same time of unmeasured
abundance and at pressing want. The les-
son of the day, then, is not only thanks-
glvmg to God but almsgiviug to His poor.
Let not those whose homes are full of fes-
tiVity and whose barns are bursting with
plenty, blind their eyes to this evident le‘ssou
nor imitate the rich man whose dogs were
more charitable than.thcir surfciting master.
Is not human brotherhood something more
than a fable? If so, can we hope to render
acceptable thanks to Him who heads its
pitying car to the cry of the raven if we
deafeu ours on sucha day as this to the
cry of our own brethren who have need ?
