Senatorial. Hu'wley Letter, Sec. .
Who shall be U. S. Senator in place of
‘ lion. Wm. II. Barnum is the absorbing quer-
tiou in Connecticut politics. Even our dem-
ocratic friends are‘ exhibiting a very lively
interest in the selection of our candidate, and
we may yet be indebted to them for giving
wiser guidance to our own final action in the
matter. The letter of Gen. Joseph R. Haw-
ley is a frank and manly document. Just
such an outspoken expression of his views
and feelings as we might expect. The posi—
tion of Senator is one, as he truly says, that
is worthy the honorable ambition of any
citizen of the State. It is, moreover, a high
honor, of which any citizen may justly be
proud, when he is prominently named and
conspicuously urged by his fellow citizens
for that position, whether he would be suc-
cessful in receiving an election or not. Fit-
ness, locality, and a dozen other circunistau-
ccs, will be brought into the discussion, and
properly, to ultimately determine the result.
We believe 'filnm rather than locality should
determine our selection. We do not believe
any one candidate has a special lien-or mort-
gage upon the position over another. This
office emphatically belongs to the people of
the State to fill for their own and the nation's
highest welfare. All the candidates hitherto
named have equal right to have their fitness
and merits advocated by their supporters.
All cannot see and feel alike. All are entitled
to respectful consideration of their preferen-
ces and the honest expression of their indi-
vidual judgments. In this view all censori-
ousness is to be deprecated. No man's favor-
ite is to be aided or strengthened by the dis-
paragement of another‘s; none to be built up
by angrily pulling down others. Wisdom
and decency alike dictate a friendly struggle
throughout the canvass. We should all
proudly rejoice that our gallant little com-
monwealth possesses so many sons,who from
conceded worth are deemed worthy of the
high position, and may the best man win.

Borough Election.

Thanksgiving.
This time-honored Festival is to be observ-
ed on Thursday. A Union discourse is tobe
preached at the First Congregational church
by Rev. Mr. Bentley. The family table at
the “old house” will be gladdened, by the
presence of its absent members and the grate-

Remember the poor and help the needy.
So shall the day prove a joy and a benedic-

“Much Ado,” &c.
The Sentinel is exercised unduly over
the recent purchase of a heater, by the City
Council, from S. E. Olmstead & Co. It
complains because it was notppurchased of
one of the city dealers. We fully concur
with the Sentinel in the principle for which
it battles, but in this case its zeal is without
knriwiedge. The heater was purchased of
S. E. Olinstead & Co. who made it, and em-
ploy fire South Norwalk mechanics in their
works, and moreover own and pay taxes on
live houses and other property in So. Norwalk.
Had the City. Council purchased of the city
dealer who complains, he would have to pur-
chase it of the same firm, if he would live
up to his own text and sermon, because no
one else in town makes them. Otherwise it
would have to have been imported from out
of town and where your own citizens have
no employment given tlicrri.

We would be heartily glad to see one of
old llickory’s cast-off jackets or pants in the
Presidential chair at the present time—Dem-

Well, you'd see the fur fly from your "sol-
icl South.” The old hero, when threatened
by aSouth Carolina fire enter with nullilica~
tion, ejaculated: “By the eternal, try it,
and I’ll hang every mother's son of you as
high as Hamen 1” Such murderous outra-
ges as are now perpetrated in the name of
Democracy at the South are enough to make
old Hickory turn in ' his coffin.

The Reformed .men of Norwalk met on
Thursday'eveniug of-last week and organized
themselves into a club to be known as “The
Norwalk Reform Clu ."
A large .number were present and all
seemed to be inspired with enthusiasm and
confidence in the Temperance work.
They intend to wage an unyielding war
against the growing evil of intempcrancc in
Norwalk.‘ . .
Rooms will be procured and kept open
every evening for the entertainment of those
who desire some place to spend a social eve-
ing. A good supply of reading matter will
be furnished for their use.
Their next meeting will be held at the
Tcinplar’s Hall, in the Gamma Building, on
Thursday evening of this week, when all per-
sons are cordially invited to be present and
unite .their efforts and influence in the great
work of Reform.

Beauty of Hebron Potatoes.
. George Seymour, of South Norwalk, plant-
ed one bushel and one peek of the Thorburu
Seedling Potato with the above pious name.
His yield was plump fifty bushels. He has
already sold fifty-nine dollars worth of the
crop and has full twenty dollars worth more
on hand. This is not only the handsomest
and best potato known, but is from one week
to ten days earlier than the Early Rose. The
addition of such an acquisition to the vege-
table kingdom, is a far greater glory to our
friend Bruggerhofthan an election to congress
could possibly have been.
There was a very suspicious smell of th.
cider press about the village post office Mon-
day morning. As no licenses had been is,
sued in that quarter, curiosity led to an in-
vestigation, when it was revealed that a new
species of mail matter, in the shape of a
package enclosing a consignment of new:
sweet cider, had come down here from W as-
ton. Alittlclatcrpop, went the cork, and
in order to save the apple juice from utter
waste, the full force of the office and such
“hangers around" as usually frequent the
after part of that interesting locality, flew to
the rescue and saved considerable of the
cider. .

City Affairs.
Last Friday evening, the workingmen made
the following nominations for city officers :.
For Mayor, Charles E. Doty; For Council-
men, Nelson J. Crew, William S. Bouton,
Adolph Orlich, Joseph R. Raymond, Abram
II. McChesncy, Moses B. Pardee; For Twas-
urer, John IV. Dake; For Cblleelor, Frank-
lin A. ’l‘olles; For Auditor, John IV. Pow-
ell; For Mars/ml, William O. Merritt.
The ticket is made up from both parties
and looks wonderfully like an old fashioned
democratic citizens ticket. Major Doty was
nominated without his consent, and he posi-,
tivcly declines to run. He also declines to
enter the contest for the republican nomina-
tion, as he is not an aspirant for any office.
It is now rumored that Ex-Mayors Quin-
tard and Ely will be strongly urged upon the
caucus by their friends. Interest in the
election is constantly increasing.

Tiie Gazelle does well to advocate the
claims of Hon. 0. H. Piatt, if it is done in
sincerity, but if it is a ruse to deceive, then
we must- comdemn it.—;S’cnlz'ncl.
Not so fast, friend Sentinel. The Gazurrn
has“ made no pretense of “advocating the
claims" of Mr. Platt. It simply stated
what on the information of parties most
likely to know, we believed and still be-
lieve to be a fact. Fairfield County has
acandidate in the person of Gov. Mixou,
who will, as he most wortiiily deserves,
receive the vigorous support, not only of
his county membersfbut of many others
in different parts of the State. In fitness,
ability. character and personal deserving,
he is the peer of any other candidate. So
long as his canvass bears its present encour-
aging prospects of success, local fcality,
honor and duty bid us “support our own.”

The “Cooley Inquest.”
On our outside to-day, will be found one
of Max Adeler’s droll stories, depicting the
strife over what was supposed to be human
remains, by certain coroners intent on “ply-
ing their vocation.” We were desired to
publish the story, pending the examinations
that were then making of the Adelphi ex-
plosion, as a fitting caricature of the rivalries
between certain coroner's juries, which
seemed ambitions to out do each other. We
think its appearance now, in better taste,
and the sarcasm sufficiently apparent, while
the fun in it is so all pervading that even the
late coroners cannot lose their good nature
in its reading.

One of the surprises the Palladium is des-
tined to experience, (and we trust it will be
a pleasant one,) will be the magnitude of the
vote which will be given cx-Gov. Minor in
the Republican Senatorial caucus. It isn’t
of course absolutely certain yet, how “much
the GAZETTE knows about it,” but We know
enough to believe that his vote will be very
considerably higher than that of any one of
the New Haven County candidates.
Brigatlier-Quartermaster Charles E. Doty,
of this place, will make his tour of inspec-
tion of the various companies of the Fourth
Regiment. this wen" To“ be

panies; this evening he will inspect the
Bridgeport and Stratford companies; Thurs-
day he goes to Litchfield and Winsted,

N cw London Post Office.
The Postmaster General has very wisely
cmmissioned A. H. Bissell, Esq , to come
on and investigate the merits and demerits
of the New London Post Office quarrel.
Bissell will soon get the “true inwardncss”
of tlic row and the rumpus will then be
speedily settled.
The Supper.
The Annual Supper of the Second M. E.
Church was held a month earlier than usual,
and at extremely short notice. Good luck,
however, attended the affair, and the Society
will probably clear in the neighborhood of
$l50. On the last evening the attendance
was large, and the programme included a
c ucert of vetal and instrumental music
which passed off very pleasantly under the
direction of clioristcr Henry P. Price. Mrs.
Raymond, Misses Selleck, Crabbe, Youngs,
Nickcrsou, Flatt and \Vai'ren, and Messrs.
Nash, Pennell, Crabbe, Cliasmar, Thompson,
Hill and Price, took part in the singing;
Miss Libbie Selleck presided at the instru-
ment and Mr. Hatch also played ; Mr. James
Cousins, J r., performed two selections on the
violin, and was encored each time; songs
were given by Mrs. Raymond and by Miss
Alice Selleck; Miss Selleck and Mr. Price
rendered the Duett, “ On Mossy Banks.”
The Supper was served in the usual manner.

Now weCiggest to our venerable and re-
spected cotemporary if the party which it
supports and represents had not ought to
devise some more humane plan to prevent
tramping than that adopted by New Hamp-
shire. The country is filled with tramps
we must admit, and also admit that they
are in a sense a nuisance, but qisn’t there
some one at fault besides the tramp? Men
must live, and in such a country as ours
there is plenty for all,——ayc, more than
enough, yet thousands are suffering for the
very articles with which the markets are
glutted. All tramps may not be criminals,
but there is every reason for Their becoming
sueli.-——Scnllnel.
We are informed that several times during
the past few months different parties have
been wayloyed in different sections of East
Norwalk. The new road to the bridge is
infested with tramps and considred danger-
ous after nightful. and the shore road is also
infested. It is about time that some measures
were adopted to have the tramp rendezvous
is apooreconomy and decidedly unjust to
subject the citizens of the east side -of the
town to such dangers and outrages, because
of a slight expense—Sentinel.
Well, neighbor, which way will. you have
it? We Would not, of coursc, seriously rc-
commend the New Hampshire law for Con
necticut. We much prefer the Delaware and
Virginia laws, which administer corporeal
punishment for ali‘such outrages as that re-
ported by the Sentinel. They are not annoy-
ed with tramps in Delaware, simply because
it whips for petty crimes, while the adjoining
borders of Pennsylvania are overrun with
them. Suppose the Sentinel discovers and
cmvicts the perpetrators of the attempted
highway robbery and incarcerate the tramps
all winter in jail? Could it do them a more
acceptable or coveted kindness? If it is any
part of the purpose of the party suppOitcd
by the b’cnlhul editor, as its candidate for
Senator, to convert and utilize the tramp
clement, then we bid him God-speed in his
noble work of reform. We' think a more
ready and practical solution of the tramp
nuisance is to be found in the plan adopted
by many towns in setting them to work
cracking stone for the highways. This has a
wonderfully diminishing effect upon this
grand army of (with very few exceptions)
dead beats. But as our neighbor is so scri-
ously troubled and mixed on this labor and
supply problem, we would hopefully refer
him to the results of George Seymour-h
growth of potatoes, and inquire if after all
a hoe, a rod of land and a peek of potatoes,
is not the test solution of the tramp nuisance?

That Hattcrs’ Unpleasantness.
We gave, last week, on the authority of
one of thc batters what purported to be and
what we were led to believe to be, the facts
in the case. A correspondent in the Senti-
nel gives the “other side" of the story, and
as we have no possible interest in the discus-
sion one way or the other», except to give the
fullest and latest news, we clip such portions
of the Sentinel communication as seem to
answer what we published. The reader
“pays his money and takes his choice.” We
don’t think it a matter of very grave consc-
quencc anyway and hope the hatter-boys will
all get good-natured and bchappyouce more.
The Sentinels ctrrcspondcnt Siys V“tl.c meet-
ing was called in a legal and proper way and
by avotc of forty to eighteen—more than
two thirds—the sum of fifty dollars was
voted to be expenzled for legitimate expen-
ses, such as hiring carriages, etc. A cem-
mittce of eight of the most respectable mem.
bers were appointed to disburse it in the
most judicious manner, and the charge that
it was perverted and improperly used in the
election of democratic candidates falls to the
ground at once when I state that six out of
the eight members of— the committee were
republicans. The finance committee, assum-
ing on their own judgment, that the money
had been voted for “political purposes“
refused to audit the order upon which the
money was to be drawn, and upon recom-
mendation of the vigilance committee, the
president promptly suspended them from
ollice. As it takes a two third vote to annul
the proceedings of the vigilance committee
the vote of twenty-seven to twenty-nine on
that question is plainly an endorsement of
the president’s action. The money was then
paid at last."
A week ago the Norwalk GAZETTE appear-
ed to be divided in its affection between be-
tween ex-Governor Minor and Marshall
Jewell ; this week “a calm and impartial sur-
vey of the Senatorial fielt ” leads it to the
belief that 0. II. Plait is very decidedly lead-
ing all other Second district Republicans.
Much the Gaznr'rn knows about it, but as its
candidateis ex-Governor Jewell it thinks it
can hey) him by misstating matters—Palla-
dium. .
Tut, tut, keep cool, friend Pull. Our belitf
was based upon information from New Ila-
ven County gentlemen whose intelligence and
candor our contemporary would not so flip-
pantly assail, were we to mention names.
But then, what’s the use of scolding every-
body who doesn’t row in your favorite skiff?
We do not propose to help any candidate by
“misstating matters," and if we are in error
why not calmly say so and not flouncc around
like a wounded duck? If the Palladium can
possess its soul in patience as we propose to
do, till a vote is taken in the Republican
caucus, it can then see who “knows about
it” and who is “misstating matters." But do
keep good natured, while doing your “level
best" for your favorite candidate. We can
see no cause of irritation because little Con-
necticut is so rich in Senatorial material.
Rather should we all feel proud that there
are so many of our citizens conceded to be
worthy, by reason of their superior ability
and liiglicharactcr to fill the office of United
States Senator.
Neptuncs.
The annual meeting and dinner of the
Neptune Club was held at the Norwalk Hotel
Thursday evening. The last years' officers
were rc-ciected, with the exception of Capt.
IIobbie, deceased, who was succeeded by
John H. Ferris as sailing master. It was
voted to sail for Oak Bluffs July 28th next,
to the general delight of the club.. Feeling
allusions were made to the deaths of Capt.
Hobbie and Surgeon Uhlc,‘Dr. Gregory being
especially fclicitious in his generous tribute
to his deceased associate. '
The “supper" was the special feature of

ent that no city caterer need be imported
hereafter for any similar occasion. We were
at a Washington supper, last winter, at one
of the crack hotels, where five dollars per
plate was paid, and the tables were neither
as rich in viands or as artistically spread.
The Neptunes and their friends will score
a decided triumph for Banks and his Nor-‘
walk’Hotcl. Fun, anecdote and speech oe—
cupied the time till near midnight, when the
assemblage broke up satisfied with having
had about the best reunion since their organi-
zation. The colored glee club complimented
the boys by dropping in at the end of the
feast singing several of their plantation songs
and psalms. With a rousing three and a
tiger for Morehousc the party dispersed.

Quite a sensation in Life Insurance circles
has been caused by the sudden death of Col.
Dwight, in New York State. Ills death was
apparently caused by'hcmorrliagc of the
lungs. It seems that the Colonel was for-
merly very prosperous, but recently failed.
Lately he obtained insurance on his life in
many companies, for large amounts, payable
quarterly, and obtained quite a notoriety
among insurance men as a large customer.
They examined him, could find no flaw,
and grecdiiy issued policies. After securing
insurance to the amount of $250,000, the
mean fellow went back on the companies and
died before the second payment was due.
Now some of the companies are trying to
squirm out of their part of the bargain, and
insinuate that the Colonel deliberately sought
to kill himself in order that his wife and
child might “realize.” Litigation will result,
and the lawyers will “realize” if the widow
does not. There is something peculiar
about life insurance. The companies bore a
man to death to insure, on the start. They
deliberately take “risks,” agreeing to run
their chance, as a boy does in pitcliing‘pcn-
nies. If the customer lives he must pay, in-
variably; if' the company loses then often
every stone is turned to avoid payment, and
“compromises” too often result. .Of course
there are honorably conducted companies
which pay promptly and fairly, without at-
tempt at litigation. We speak only of what
often occurs, In this case the man may
have killed himself, although few men in
good health and sound mind seldom sacrifice
themselves for the sake of making even near
relatives rich.
The great Dominion is standing on its
head and kicking its heels in the air. The
Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise
have arrived, and the year of jubilee has
come. The voyage was tcmpcstuous, but
the storms of applause on shore from the
hearts of a loyal people more than made up
for Neptune’s rough treatment. Never be-
fore has Canada been so honored, or in re-
turn paid such respect. 'Thc vice-regal
party will take up their permanent residence
at Ottawa. '

notice is to call the attention of all those
young men who, without much deliberation
anti thought,can see the benefits arising from
such an institution. The number to be ad—
mitted to membership of the Association is
limited, therefore if the aforesaid young men
desire to become members of such an insti-
tution so valualqo society, then application
must be made as con as possible. The next

The air is full of rumors concerning we
caucuses to be held this week. The capture
of both democratic and workingmcn's nom.
inutions is the great end sought foi'by certain
aspirants.
City Items,
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.
Conductor Coins, of the New York do New
Haven Road, was with us a few evenings
last week, as smiling and social as ever.
Conductor Jones of the 7,34 morning train
had a short furlow and his place was well
filled by “Herb.”
A wedding is reported soon to take place
between one of the city belles, a musical
genius, residing on High street, and a promi-
nent literary character and would be Senator,
and is causing quite a flutter. It probably
will be held in the Methodist church.
A company of the Borough young gentle-
men seem to have difficulty in pleasing our
Chief of Police. They claim to act as gen-
tlemen; their offence seems to be singing and
whistling. When told by the officer to
stop their noise, they protested no knowl-
edge of an “ordinance" forbidding whistling
iu the city, and claimed a right so to do. It
is certain there will be sharp work if an at-
tempt is made to “carry them in" as the
number is angumcnted to some twelve or
thirteen.
Notwithstanding the long list of candidates
for Mayor, our City Journal gave to its
readers last week, it did not include nearly
all the aspirants for that honor. The names
to Capt. Russell, W. S. Bouton, C. W.
Smith, J. S. Dunning, J. Golding, and Capt.
Charles Rogersarc mentioned, and all have
their supporters. It is believed that if post-
master Dunning will allow liis name to be
used, he will make a good run in the caucus,
and would make a good Mayor. Knowing
ones say that the contest in the Republican
caucus wiiibe between D. P. Ely and Col.
Cunningham, as Major Doty declines to be a
candidate, although solicited urgently by
many of his friends. The interest in rc-
gard to the city election increases daily, as
there is sure to be three regular tickets. The
Democrats have some material, but usually
elect none except those so lucky as to be
nominated by both parties, anti as the
“Greenbackcrsf' have made a full nomination,
thus holding the balance of power, their cm-
didatcs may all slip in, then what a change
in all the city departments and city affairs!
How strange it will seem to have an Editor
for Mayor. The Greenbackers have nomi-
nated C. E. Doty for Mayor, and are trying
to induce him to accept.
The stone house of John II. Ferris, was
broken open and about 700 pounds of butter
taken out and probably carried away in a
boat. The city is well guarded (in some
parts) by our police.
The Wcslporter says that a large delegation
of masons from that place visited the South
Norwalk Lodge last T ucsday evening, and
"were delighted with the work. * * The
Old Wellers’ know how to entertain. So
say we all of us!”

The next thing in order was supper, and
landlord Sherman Morehousc had prepared 8
feast fit for royalty, and the Neptunes, loyal
to their commander, made desperate work
with the contents of that table—Sentinel.

From the Hartford Couranl.
The following letter to a political and per-
sonal friend is published as an answer to
many inquires on the subject : ——
IIAR’I‘FORD, Nov. 18, 1878.
MY DEAR Sm:
Let me give your more clearly than I did
last Friday an answer to your inquires con.
cerning the senatorial question. On the
morning of October 3d, coming up the bay
in New York, after five months absence
abroad, a few minutes only were given me to
say yes or no to the question whether I
would accept a nomination for congress in
the First District from the convention to be
held that morning. There was a hard fight
to be made and it was no time to shirk a
duty. I submitted unreservcdly to the con-
vention and you know the result. We rc-
joicc in the victory of the friends of sound
financial doctrine and national faith, and in
return for the generous consideration shown
me, I am proud to acknowledge my obliga-
tions to the district.
Now, a citizens may honorably aspire to
the office at a senator and seek to qualify
himself for it, yet when the qualification it
would :bc desirable in find in a senator are
described, any man may well hesitate to any
that he deems himself fit for the position.
The state has a right to command the ser-
vices ot air, and it may be said of this re-
sponsible and honorable ofllce, as it has been
of the presidency and of a seat in the su-
preme court, that, while it is not to be sought
with the arts of scheming politicians, neither
is it to be lightly .declined. If it comes to
me, it will come as did the nomination for
the house. If the General Assembly, on the
final summing up of the whole argument,
should see fit to honor me with the senator-
siiip, it would probably be with the approval
of the members from this congressional dis-
trict, and the district would expect me to
accept it with gratitude.
lt is.to be hoped that the contest may be
conducted without the personal bitterness
that has sometimes made a canvass hardly
less distasteful to the public in general than
to the candidates and their personal friends.
Others have been named in connection with
the place who would be honored and respect-
ed in the senate, and whose success I would
hail right loyally and cordially.
When the senatorship shall have been won
by some honorable and capable man, by hon-
orable means, you and I will be quite con-
tent, and ready to take our places in the
next fight. Sincerely yours,
Joe. R. Hawmr
[New Haven Palladium]
The above document settles the dispute as
to whether General Hawley will be a candi—
date for the Seuatorship. And while we
think the announcement of his candidacy
would have been better received earlier in
the contest we have no criticism to make on
his delay in the matter. Of course he means
to be elected if possible. It does not seem
to us, however, that he and his friends have
given sufficient weight to the desirability of
having the Connecticut delegation in the
House Republican, as it would probably
not be if General Hawley were elected to
the Senate. The Democrats, if they had
the opportunity, would make sure of the
First district another time, and the loss of it
would neutralize the vote of Connecticut
in the House. But perhaps General Hawley
will not be elected.
Hawley first, Harrison second, and Au-
drcws third is the way the Litclificld Enquir-
er stands in the Senatorial contest.
“The Stamford Advocate presents ex-
Gov. Wm. T. Minor, of Stamford, as a can-
didate for the United States Senate, to fill
the seat now occupied by Wm. H. Barnum.
Mr. Minor has long been known to the peo-
ple of Connecticut as a man of sterling in-
tegrity, eminent ability, and of the high-
est personal character. Without detract-
ing at all from the merits of other gentlemen
who have been named in connection with
the senatorship, we would say that his elec-
tion to so high and honorable a position,
would reflect great credit upon the State as
well as upon the party of which hop 1195631,]
“Aw—c-.. -w“\n‘¢
'db‘i'ivniyiiii‘iiiyoearned the title of the Banner
county in the last election, having elected
27 republicans to six democrats to the legis-
lature; and by overturning the large demo—
cratic majority heretofore given in the coun—
ty, and substituting therefor a rousing re—
publican majority it gave Litchfield county
an honorable representative in the next
national legislature in the person of Mr.
Miles. This county will not be slow to
return the compliment if Mr. Minor’s name
is brought before the legislature next win—
ter in connection with the senatorship.
In connection with the above. we would
say that the report which is being circu-
lated in a certain section of the state to
the effect that Ex-Gov. Minor was simply
to receive a complimentary vote and then
his friends and supporters were to take up
another candidate is simply absurd. We
know of no friend of Gov. Minor who will
not stand by him to the end, and we believe
his support will be found to be as hearty
and strong as any candidate yet named. In
fact it is a matter of real gratification to us,
to see how cordiall the ex-Goveruor’s name
has been receive throughout the state in
connection with the senatorship—Wolcolt-
ville Register.
IIon. David Gallup announces that lie is
not a candidate for U. S. Senator, but on the
contrary is very earnestly in favor of Ex-
Govornor and Judge Wu. T. Mixou. Judge
Minor will also have a strong support in
Litclifield County.
It is now. said that Gen. IIawlcy's letter
was addressed to Ben. Wright, of Green-
wich. No matter, it was a right down good
letter anyway and the friends of the General
will do their level best to elect him, do-
spitc the fact that the old sly rats of the
democracy, want to gct him advanced so
as to elect Gov. Hubbard to his seat in the
House.
[From Bridgeport Standard]
When we hold all the gentlemen named
for the Senatorship in high respect and should
be satisfied with either of them, yet we have
ii candidate in this city whose qualifications
for that very important office we specially dc-
sirc should he considered. We refer to the
Hon. Amos S. Treat, who is so widely known
that it is entirely unnecessary for us to dwell
upon his ability, his fitness for the position,
and his long and faithful political service,but
all these things being known we merely urge
his election. While we do not esteem the io-
cality question as so important that it should
override all others, still, it is best for any
party not to ignor it entirely. Hartford and
New Haven generally claim allthc highcsts
gifts in the party the other parts of the state
are expected to work like beavers to secure
the victories they enjoy, and it would serm
to us that those cities ought to gracefully
yield this particular honor to Fairfieid coun-
ty for once at least. With the exception of
Senator Ferry, no republican in this county
has been awarded a high office for many
years, and in view of what the republicans
accomplished in this county in the last elec-
tion, we do certainly think that it ought to
have the right of naming the next United
States Senator.
If, as is generally conceded, it is any ad-
vantage to the state and the party to have in
the Senate of the nation a man versed in af-
fairs, and possessing all the qualities needed
to properly maintain the dignity and charac-
ter of the position, there can be no more suit-
able candidate selected than Amos S. Treat.
No man has yet been named for the place
who is his superior in all requisite ability or
attainments. It would be well if the repub-
licans of this state could be represented in
the Senate by a man of executive ability of
influence and fact, and one whose weight
would count always for his state and party
and no one is more capable of fulfilling these
conditions than Amos S. Treat. Neither
Hartford nor New Haven have any mortgag-
on the place, and from the fact that the quar-
rels of those cities have so long been a drag
upon our political achievement, we think it
would be well to set them both aside in this
matter of the senatorship, and to select a
man who has never in any manner been erm-
promlscd by their unfortunate bickerings.

A row Words about Dr. David Kennedy
Taken from the Rondoul N. Y., Daily Freeman:
“While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an ex-
cellent _h_ysician. and discovered the most valua-
ble met icine ever offered to an afflicted ublic it
must not be forgotten that he deserved y stands
secondto none in this country as a surgeon.”
For instance we would cite the case of Mr.
Abram Eisvvorth. of Port Ewen, Ulster 00., N.Y.,
who ligd suffered more than TWENTY years from
the pain incident to a disease involvingthe great-
er_portion of the left thigh bone,and during till
this time he had been kept in,hlissful ignorance,
by the many goctors who had treated him, of the
real cause of is suffering. He often expressed
to the author of this article that he had not ex-
perienced the pleasure of one whole night’s sleep
in twcptyyeitrs. Although a cripple, and suffer-
ing pain and inconvenience of carrying an almost
useless limb, he has acquired a competency far
beypnd what most men would have done under
siiniiareircumstanccs. Mr.Eisworth wasinduccd
to consult Dercnncdy, who at once realized the
Situation, and plainly and frankly told the suffer-
cr that the disease had so for advanced that noth-
ing was left for him to do but submit to amputation
of the leg. Consequently on the 15th of May, 1871.
in presence of“, _and assisted by several medical
gentlemen, Dr.heunedy amputated the leg. about
three inches below the hip joint. The bone was
found to be perfectly rolteu from cud to the other.
and thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kenn cdy’s'
diagnostsa Mr. Eisworth made a rapid recovery.
and remains to this day the perfect picture of
health.
Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the
happy result of this and other cases of a similar
character, was due to the use of the Favorite
ltcnicdy. It was. this medicine that purified the
Blood. It was this that regulated the Liver and
kidneys, and tints rave tone and strength to the
system which had become debilitated by the dis-
ease, and in this way prevented a return of the
disease which necessitated so dangerous an op—
eration. _
