CHARLES J. Cons, Chairman.
Hartford, J line 25, 1880.
Speech of Secretary Schurz.
Secretary Schurz made the first of his
speeches for the campaign at Indianapolis,
last Tuesday, and while it will most certainly
be published by the National Commitce as
the most effective of campaign documents,
it is not too early to direct our readers’ close
attention to it. It gives the record of the
Republican party and its administration in
a modest and manly resume. of its services to
the government, which every Republican is
privileged to claim a share of. .
“It has maintained the ublic faith and
raised the credit of the nited States to a
point never reached before. It has with con-
sistant energy followed a policy rehevmg the
country of the evils of an Irrational and dan-
gerous money system,_and greatly promoted
the prosperity of the people by the restora
tion of specie payments. It has funded enor-
mous masses of the National indebtedness git
‘a lower interest, and thus saved many mil-
lions a year to the taxpayer. It has faithful-
ly executed the laws with a conscientious
observance of sound constitutional principles.
By its fidelity to these constitutional princi-
ples it has removed many obstacles which
stood in the way of a friendly understanding
between the different sections of the country
and different classes of people. It has, under
trying circumstances, when the pubhc peace
was disturbed by riot and violence on the
part of a numerous class of Citizens, greatly
aided the restoration of order and security
by a calm and moderate employment of the
limited power at its command,, Without in
any case resorting to a doubtful stretch of.
authority. It has reformed many abuses in
the public service, infused at higher sense _of
duty into its different branches, raised its
moral tone, increased its efficiency, punished
dishonesty and kept the serum unsulhed by
the scandals arising from lax notions of ofil-
cial integrity." .
The great question which will agitate the
country until November, the choice between
two parties, not between two men, has
never been better put than by Carl Schurz.
“N ow I desire you to put before your
minds with impartial candor the question,
whether the Democratic candidate and the
party behind him can be bestgepended upon
to preserve that which is goo in the present
condition of things, and develop it in the
direction of improvement? I Wish to state
the question mildly, for I am not partisan
enough—indeed, my orthodoxy in that re-
spect has now and then been questioned—
to deal in wholesale and indiscriminate do.
nunciation of our opponents. To speak in
all candor, it appears to meathat. the Demo-
cratic party labors under historic as well as
constitutional difficulties. Since the down-
fall and disappearance of the slave power as
a compact political interest, from which the
Democratic party, more than twenty years
ago, derived its morals, its logic, its palm—a
cal skill and statesmanship, that party has
been floundering about, out of logic connec—
tion with the questions of the day; neyer
knowing the time of day; always looking
for something to turn up, arid when some.
thing did turn up, spOihng it; lamely lag-
ging in the rear of the events and require-
ments or the day; always behind; denounc-
ing as impossible things that were_already
accomplished facts; with a strange'incapac-
ity to understand the present and to measure
the future, making itself the recipient and
rallying point for all dangerous and obstruc
tive tendencies and elements, and_thus com.
mitting blunder after blunder, which at the
moment of their birth it uniformly gloried in
as great strokes of policy, from the secession
movement in 1861 down to the nomination
of General Hancock in 1880.
. Looking back to the year 1864, the fourth
year of the civil war, when the Southern
Federaoy was near e total exhaustion of its
resources, we find )emocratic party in Na-
tional Convention solemnly declaring that
the war was a failure and must be abandoned.
A few months afterward the triumph of our
arms was decided, and Confederacy collaps-
'ed, the restoration of our Union was assured
and the Democracy was forced to acknowl
edge that the war had been a success. The
Democracy had proclaimed its despair of the
Republic just at the time when the lriumph
of the Republic was ripe. It became evxdent
to every one that had the Democratic, policy
been'adopted, "the war would have indeed
become a failure. and the Union have gone
to wreck and ruin. When slavery breathed
its last' and its abolition had become an evi—
dent logical necessity, requiring. nothing
more than the form of law, the Democratic
party declared that the abolition of slavery
would be the ruin of the country, and must
by all means he averted. Who is there to
deny now that the abolition of _ slavery was
an absolute necesssity and has turned out a
blessing ? The Democrats are compelled to
admit it themselves. When, as measures of
settlement. the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments were passed the party
declared them void and entitled to no re-
spect, and almost immediately afterward
found itself compelled to adm1t_ that for the
peace of the country and as baSis for future
development these constitutional amendments
had to be‘maintained.
Coming down to more recent hislery,wlien
the Republicans in Congress had passed the
Resumption Act in 1875, and the fruit of the
.restoration of specie payments was almost
ripe to be plucked, the Democratic party
in its National Convention of 1876, thought
it a smart thing to declare that the very act
passed for bringing specie payments was an
im diment in its way and must be repealed.
And who is there to deny now that had the
act been repealed under the pressure of all
the inflation elements in the country, the
confusion of our financial policy necessarily
ensuing would have prolonged the evils of
an irredeemable’ paper Ocurrency under
which we were then suflering ? I need not
accumulate further examples to show how
incapable the Democratic party proved it-
self, to understand and apprecialepot only
the immediate requirements of the times but
facts that had been virtually accomplished
and how its greatest efforts were directed
to the5end of obstructing things that had be-
come inevitable, and which it afterward
found itself compelled to admit as good.
And now in this year of 1880, when the
war issues are fairly behind us; when by its
conciliatory spirit and its stag. observance of
constitutional principles the overnment has
removed all the elements of discord between
the two Sections which itwas in its own
power to remove; when, aided by a Wise
and successfulfinancial policy, general pros-
perity is again blessing the‘land, and when
the peop.e look above alkthings for enlight-
ened practical statesmanship that Will under-
- stand the questions it has to deal with to
foster and develop that prosperity ; now the
Democratic party knows nothing better to do
than to set aside its statesmen of known and
settled opinions, political experience and
training, and to nominalc for the Presidency
a Major-General of the regular Army; a
professional soldier, who has never been any-
thing else but that, and who from the very
nature and necessities of his profession has
always stood aloof from the management of
political questions. _
It must not be forgotten that this Govern.
ment is no longer the slmfilgpmachine it
was in the early days of the ubhc. he
bucolic age of America is over. The in-
terests the Government has to deal With are
no longer those of a small number or agri-
cultural communities. With here and there a
commercial town. They are the interests of
nearly fifty millions 'of people spread over
an immense surface, with occupations, pur-
suits and industries of endless variety and
great magnitude; large cities with
ti ons and interests so pushing, powerful and
complicated in their. nature, and so constant-
ly appealing to the Government rightfully
or wrongfully,that the requirements of states-
manship demanded in this age are for differ-
erent from lhose which sufiiced a century
a o.
gIt is believed by many that it is an easy
task to perform the duties of the President
of the United States—that the only thing he
has to do is to form a programme of policy
which he desires to carry out, and to call
good and experienced men into his Cabinet
to attend to the detail of the business,
Without meddlin himself with its intricate
complications, e experience I have gath-
ered from personal observation, not only as a
member of the legislative body, but also. of
the Cabinet, has convinced me that this is a
great 'mistake. I speak from experience
when I say that most of the good things that
have been done under this Administration,
Whatever merit the respective Cabinet minis-
ters may deserve for them. are no less due
to the clear-headed and faithful support,
frequently called the “amiable obstinancy,”
with which President Hayes stood behind
them by warding off the opposition. It is
for such reasons of inestimable benefit to an
Administration that the President himself
should have had the experience of active
work in legislative bodies, and especially in
the Congress of the United States. It will
require in a President a high degree of that
intuitive genius with which but very few
men in acentury are endowed to make his
Administration successful without that ex—
perience.
I shall certainly not attempt to. depreciate
the character of General Hancock and the
great services which he has rendered to the
country. He is a gentleman of irreproachable
private character, which I shall be sorry to
see any effort made to discredit. As a soldier
he has shown signal bravery and skill in the
handling of troops under difficult circum-
stances, and his name is identified with some
of the most splendid achievements of the
war. For all this every good citizen will
honor him. But the question is not Whether
we shall honor a deserving General. 'The
question ,is Whether a deserving General
would be the kind of a President'the country
needs, a President who can be depended upon
successfully to solve the problems of states
manship which are now before us; to pre-
serve the good things already done and im-
prove upon them'. In a hundred cases to
one, by taking an old regularofiicer, who has
never been anything else, and putting him
into the highest ' and most difficult political
position, you may spoil an excellent General
in making a poor President. There he is,
with an honest intention to do right and to
serve his country. ‘ Problems of-financial
policy suddenly rise up before him—questions
of revenue, of commercial policy, not in the
way of general maxims and vague pX'lllClpleS
but in the mysterious shape of political prob-
lems to be applied to a given state of circum-
stances; questions of party politics, where
the interests of the public and of, the public
and party are curiously mixed together in
bewildeking confusion. The man at the
head of affairs means to do right; let us as-
sume his cabinet officers mean the same.
But now a host of Senators, Representatives,
prominent political leaders from all parts of
the country swarm in upon him. Having
never had any practical contact with the
workings of financial systems, having stood
aloof from the intricacies of political manage-
ment, the man at the head of the Government
is the objective point of all their efforts.
They have all contributed to his election and
success; they are all entitled to his. regard;
he has heard of them all as prominen en
entitled to respect; he has considered em
all as men entitled to credit ; and now he
discovers that their opinions clash and that
their aims are different and contradictory.
Scores of them beseeching him with their ur-
gency to make him believe that the cabinet
minister he trusts, by the things he attempts
to carry out, is injuring the party upon whose
permanence the life, or at least the welfare of
the republic depends. And when he has
gone through this for weeks and months, and
his head begins to swim in the confusing
contests of interests and ambitions entirely
new to him, and he feels himself in many
things he has done or left undone under a
pressure giving him no rest of mind, a help—
less tool of foreign wills instead of being the
director of things, he will then concludelhat
the repulse of the fiercest onset at Gettys-
burgh and the taking of the angle of intrenc-
ments in the Wilderness, glorious feats of
arms, were after all very simple things com-
pared with this.
What have we on the other hand in the
Republican candidate? His youth was that
of a poor boy. He lived by his daily labor.
He rose up from that estate gradually by his
own effort, taking with him the experience
of poverty and hard work and a living
sympathy with the poor and hard working
man. He cultivated his mind by diligent
study and be stored it with useful knowl-
edge. From a learner he became a teacher.
When the Republic called her sons to her
defense he joined the army and achieved
distinction -in active service as one of the
brave on the battle field. He was called into
the great council of the Nation, and has sat
there for nearly twonty years. No great
question was discussed without his contribu-
ting the store of his knowledge to the fund
of information necessary for wise decision.
His speeches have ranked not only among
the most eloquent, but among the most in-
structive and useful. Soarcely a single great
measure of legislation was passed during
that long period Without the imprint of his
mind. No man in Congrbss has devoted
more thorough inquiry to a larger number of
important ~ subjects and formed upon them
opinions more matured and valuable. He
was not as great a soldier as his competitor
for the Presidency ; but he has made himself,
and is universally recognized as what a
President ought to be, a statesman. He
understands all phases of life, from the low—-
est to the highest, for he has lived through
.them. He understands the great problems of
politics, for he has studied'them and active-
ly participated in their discussion and'solu—
tion. Few men in this country would enter
the Presidential office with its great duties
and responsibilities better or even as well
equipped with knowledge and experience.
He need only be true to his record in Order
to become a Wise, safe and successful Presi-
because his services rendered in the past are
just of that nature which will give assurance
of his ability to render greater service in the
future. The country wants a statesman of
abiiily, knowledge, experience and principle
at the head of affairs, His conduct as a
legislator gives ample guarantee of great
promise in all these things. And for all
these reasons, in my opinion, the interests of
the Republic demand the election of James
A. Garfield to the Presidency of the United
States. -
The extracts given, brilliant as they are,
can do onlypartial justice to the character
of the entire speech which deserves and
should receive a close reading by every Re-
publican, and by every candid Democrat.
When the men who have at heart the busi-
ness interests and prosperity of the country
learn, as consideration during the next ‘few
months must teach them, that ,a vote for
Hancock is only taking a “gambling chance”
for prosperity, instead of the dead certainty
which they now have, Garfield’s election is
placed beyond a doubt, it is to these men
that the Republican party addresses itself,
and by their aid it expects success.
A Fourth Presidential Ticket!
Ne'al Dow, the great apostle of the “Maine
Law" has formally accepted the National
Temperance party’s nomination for the Pres-
idency.. This gives us a four horse presi—
dential team and the only distressing feature
about this fourth addition, attaches to our
friends of the Sentinel. There being three
brothers on the editoral staff, one is a very
sagaoiously consistent Republican, the _sec—-
ond a zealous Democrat and the third a

stock of brothers, and if there be no “sisters,
cousins or aunts,” in the family we don’t see
What is to be done for the new temperance
party. Perhaps the Greenbacker brother
can “prove an alibi,” or make him outa

Sentinel startled, and unspeakably pained the
many friends of Arthur Eiwell, by erroneous-
ly announcing his sudden dccease. Young
Elwell has been in Northern Minnesota for
some months past. hoping the climate might

he h“ for a long time been suffering. About
four weeks ago he had a hemorrhage caused
by the undue excitement of a rapid ride in
the crisp and highly rarified air of that
region, but at the present time he is much
better and his physician assures his parents
that with proper care he has good reason to
hope for his ultimate recovery. Mrs. H. H.

The Proposed Brflge" Improve—
ment.
The rebuilding of the two, wooden stores
recently burned on the bridge is being" rapid-
ly pushed forward. Meantime the effort to
secure the property for the public good, for
all time, lags, according to ancient and usual
Norwalk custom. In considering the best.
pities, that this property could not be pur-
chased outright and an opening left in the
line of Main street which should give not
only the free circulation of health giving sea
air, but a water view ddwn our beautiful
harbor, to every one driving into our village
from the north. We believcif this entire
property were purchased, a sort of battery
opening and'improvement could be made, of
the full width of Main street, and after it is
completed, property enough could be sold,
on either side, to fully indemnify the Borough
for its outlay. Al no distant day, the place
across the Bridge must be widened and it
would seem the part of prudent wisdom to
secure this east end now. Our heaviest
Borough tax payers have already petitioned
to have a portion of these store fronts pur-
chased and cut off. We trust the whole or
none, may be secured. The difference in
cost of the whole over .the ten feet front,
will be slight, and if anything is done, it
ought to be done right and that means the
purchase of the whole and the leaving of an
open space at the foot of Main street. We
hope some one will take interest encughin
the project to start either an individual sub-
scription or circulate a paper, securing an
agreement from property owners individually
benefits thus to be conferred. May not this
be done and done at once.
’ How Norwalk Grows. j
The net quarterly receipts of the Norwalk
Post Office received by the U. S. for the
quarter_ending June _30th, 1801, Were less
than $300. The same receipts for the quar—
ter ending J one 30, 1880, were nearly $1,500.
Another South N orwalk Mail.
Another mail is made up at our Borough
office for South Norwalk, at 8 o’clock in the
evening, and one ‘in return is received from
South Norwalk at 7:10 a. m. This makes
four special mails between the two offices
every day.
The New York Herald dispatch says that
at Norwalk, Conn., with the $5,000 appro—
priated, it is proposed .to make a channel 100
feet wide and six feet deep at mean low
water from Long Island Sound as far
toward the steamboat landing as the funds
will allow ; also to make a channel 100 feet
wide and six feet deep at mean low water
from Gregory’s Point to Norwalk—Sentinel.
Had our esteemed contemporary taken the
pains to refer to the River and Harbor Bill, it
would have seen that the appropriation for
Norwalk harbor was pot as stated above, but
in the following words,as heretofore publish-
ed in the GAZETTE:
“Improving harbor at Norwalk, Connecti-
cut: Continuing improvement, five thousand
dollars; and so much of said appropriation
as shall be necessary therefor shall be so ex-
pended as to have the channel .six feet deep
at mean low water between the steamboat

A Vacation Pulpit Well Supplied,
Is that of the First Congregational Society
which, during the absence of the pastor from
now to September 5th, is to have Rev. Edwin
Johnson, formerly of Bridgeport, for the
first Sunday in August, Rev. S. J. M. Mer—

Italian minister, for‘the third, and Rev.‘A.
F. Beard, D. D., a son of this church, now
pastor of the Congregational Church of am-
cuse, N. Y., for lhe fourth and fifth Sun-
days. - .
But notwithstanding this generous provi-
sion, the pastor will be cordially welcomed
back at the close of his vacation Which, it is
hoped. will-conduce greatly to his improve-
ment in health and general refreshment and

Careless Firing.
A little after five o’clock Friday evening, a
shot gun was discharged on the west side of
the harbor and a few seconds after, a gentle—
man walking past the Senator Ferry place
was showered with leaves out from a tree just
over his head. Such careless diacharges of
loaded fireams is simply criminal and cannot
be too strongly condemned.
Down East.
Although the Neptune club does not sail
this year, there will be no lack of down cast
cruises. This Week two parties will sail, the

The latter left last night in the sloop “Two
Brothers,” with the following members:
William L. Jackson, William E. Buxton,
William Osborn, Ben. Allen, Harry Rider,
John Rider, Stephen Clarkson, Calvin De
Math, and John Moore,—the two latter
hailing from Danbury. If they have good
weather they will probably put in an appear-

Accident-aProbably Serious.
A schooner load of ice arrived from Ban-
gor, last Sunday, for the Ayers Brothers,
city: butchers, after a long voyage, having
'sailed from Bangor on the 3d inst. The
weight of the ice on the start was 232 tons—
the wastage is believed to be about 100 tons.
Yesterday afternoon, while preparations
were being'made for unloading the ice and
storing it in the large ice house on the lower
Danbury Railroad wharf, a pulley block fell
from near the top of the building, perhaps a
distance of thirty feet and struck one of the
Ayers brothers on the back. He was picked

out a Hancock and English banner across the_
street from the Hardenbrook building, Mon-

that the banner builder had gotten their
candidates as badly mixed up as did Billey
Mullen, when he declared for Gen. Hooker.

We understand that the business of the

was anticipated, and Mr. Willis, the enter-

made of the very best material and in the
best possible manner; this fact, together
with their original and tasty designs, causes
them to take well with the public, and being
the only ones of the class yet in the market
they meet a long felt want of those of the
ladies who are able and willing to pay for
good materials and goodwork, or in fact of
all, who wanted a really good articleof wear-
ing apparel; they will probably supersede
in a large measure lhe ordinary shoddy ones
with which the market abounds. Mr. Wil—

Sacques for the morning and evening wear of
the ladies, which he makes up in difierent'
styles and colors.

On Wednesday last, the good people of the
First Baptist church assembled at the depot
to take passage for Redding, where they
proposed to spend the day in the enjoyment
of their annual pic—nic. Judging from the
number of baskets and et cetcra on the plat-
form it was evident that the party had no
intention of being Tanncrized. At Brook-
side Park the party found the Bethel
churches, with the Bethel Cornet Band.
There was plenty of room for all, and all the
accommodations to be desired. The Park is
pleasant, and all speak well of'the arrange-

and several other vehicles were brought into
requisition to convey the party to the place
of execution. It was not a Lodge affair, and
therefore all present were not members of
the Order, but a large majority were. They
went for agood time, at moderate cost, and
came home evidently Well satisfied.
Disgusted.
The Wallace Committee of the United
States Senate, who have been investigating
“little Johnny Davenport” the past fortnight,‘
has concluded its labors, to the utter disgust
of the Democratic members of that body.
Davenport hadthe evidence right at hand to
prove the unblushing perjuries ’and‘ frauds
connected with the naturalization and’ballot
moted by the New York City Democracy.

Some Seasonable Advice to the
Young Men, of Norwalk.
Keep cool, but don’t imagine that ten or a
dozen glasses of ~ “ice cold lager,” rapidly
imbibed, will assist you in doing so.
Bathe often, if necessary, but go to some
place less public than the pottery or propeller
dock, as that part of the Norwalk harbor is
not the Garden of Eden dud fig trees do not
there abound. .
If you are a clerk and have been so fortu-
nate as to get a couple of weeks off, he hon-
est and tell your friends that you have been
home helping the “old man" with his haying,
&c., and not try to carry the idea that you
have spent your vacation in doing Saratoga,
White Mountains, or some of those places.
Are you going on the Sunday school ex-
cursion? if you are, don’t try to obtain, a
ticket for a free passage and dinner, under
pretense that you have been a regular attend-
ant at Sabbath School for the past year when
you know that most of your Sabbaths have
been passed at Roton Point, for a long time,
and it is not known that the missionaries
have ever established any school in that
place. _
While persons are passing to and from
church, Sunday,.p. m., and you happen to
be dressed in a particularly nice suit, don’t
place yourself within the bank entrance with
such an air of proprietorship, for most peo—
ple will know that you don’t own the bank,
and they will naturally wonder if those
clothes are paid for. '
If you attend church of a Sabbath eigen-
ing, and the services should not interest you,
you will of course take your place among
the outsiders, and if ladies should be passing
at the time, don‘t.- request “Emma" to
utcs, or by your constant braying the good
people will be led to presume that a horse
fair is being holden, and that you are the
principal donkey on exhibition.
If you are out walking with your sweet-
heart, and While passing the Gazette, Build—
ing she should call your attention to some—
thing unusually attractive in Fred Mead’s
window, don’t suddenly pretend that you
have urgent business across the street.
Neither the Mitchells or those Chinameu
keep an ice cream saloon.
Dont “take in" all the free lunches you
can get a “whack” at, and then flatter your-
self and boast to your friends how very
cheap you are boarding.
You will of course play croquet but don‘t
devote your whole time to the game, for
nothing could be more inconsistent than, as
was witnessed up Main street a short time
since,to see six able bodied men playing cro-
quet, while in an adjoining lot a woman was
hoeing potatoes. .
Play billiards if you can afford it, but don’t
forget your board and laundry bills.

Vegetables.
The Benedict Brothers, who have for sev—
eral years past conducted, a very successful
early garden enterprise on Reservoir Hill,
assure us that all the ordinary products of
the garden can be produced as early in this
meridian as in New Jersey. That our son
holds moisture better, and in dry seasons we
have a very decided advantage, While in sea-
sons excessively wet our porous and gravelly
subsoil ensures good drainage and secures
crops from failure, while in New Jersey, the
clay subsoils are likely to “drown out” the
the plants. As a'practical‘ fact, the Bene—
dicts have supplied the home markets 'this
year with about all the early beets which
have been ofiered for sale. Many of the
earliest vegetables seen at our‘ green grocer
stores were raised by'them. The. soil all
about the Spring Hill section of Olll' town'is
remarkably fertile, and trees and plants grow
with wonderful vigor thereabouts. Mr. ,
George Rice has grown there the finest
peaches we have ever seen in Norwalk, and \
many others are following his example. The
marvel is that more of our land oWners do
not turn ultention to the. raising of early
vegetables and small fruits, for which there
is an unceasing and growing demand.

, -' A Noble Act.
President Dowd, of the Bank of North
America was surprised by the receipt ofa
letter dated July 236, from A. J. Mayor of
New York, inclosing a check for ten thou-
sand dollars as stated by Mr. Mayer, towards
ultimate payment in full of a large sum hon-
eatiy due the Bank by Mayer, at thctime of
his failure in the year [807. Notwithstand-
ing Mr. Mayer took legal steps in bankruptcy
and paid ten cents on the dollar, and was
therefore legally discharged, yet such are his
notions of-justice and moral obligation, that
in his letter of remittance he writes to the
President of the Bank: “I hope air, the re-
ceipt of this money will affordayou as much
pleasure as the sending of it gives me.”

from youth to old age, the teeth. Acidity of
