No doubt bout Connecticut.
Will our friends outside of this State cease
to worry about Connecticut as a doubtful
State? Connecticut never has been, is not
now, and never will be anything but anti-
democratic. Out-of twenty-four Presiden—
tial elections in our history she has gone
Democratic but three times, for Van Buren
in 1836, for Pierce in 1852, and for Tilden
in 1870, and in those three cases by the very
slendercst majorities. She does sometimes
go wrong in Gubernatorial elections, because
of very good nominations by the Democrats
or very poor ones by their opponents, but in
Presidential elections the chances have al-
ways been about eight to one, as above
stated, that she would be anti—Democratic.
And with such Gubernatorial nominations
as ours this year the chances are simply'
1,000 to 1. Betting men who rely on New
York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to sup—
plement the “Solid South” are simply up the
wrong tree, and had better make a note of it
at once.
#
Excellent Nominations.
Everywhere this year the Republican are
putting their best men foot foremost in the
race. The last is New Jersey, where the
nominee, J no. Potts, is beyond doubt the
strongest whom :either party could present.
The news of his acceptance has thrown New
York Democrats into a flurry. The World,
in quite a panic, pronounces him “the clean
est and strongest man whom the Republicans
could have put up,” and calls on New Jersey
Democrats to forget their natural instincts
and choose a decent man to oppose him.
Every ticket offered this year, presidential,
gubernatorial and electoral, shows the infi-
nite superiority of the Republican party in
every State to its opponent in intellect, abili-
t ,statesmenshi and decency. Our New
'gorli‘friénds ngbd'not'wmry about New
Jersey and Connecticut. Carry New York
and they will not be behind you!

One Candid Democrat.
Our friend E. J.Hill has just returned from
another lumber expedition west, and being
delayed at the Buffalo R. R. station, very
naturally fell into a friendly discussion with
the ofiicial in charge of the depot. He was
very doubtful about New York, but he was
sure Connecticut and New Jersey were going
democratic. Hill tried to convince him that
it New York was as sure to go for Garfield
as Connecticut was, the thing was up with
Hancock. The democratic brother was loth
to concede this. He felt sure Hancock
would be elected because “the people wanted
a change," he said. “What people want a
change P" demanded our impetuous friend
Hill. “Why, all of us fellows who want an
office," honestly and frankly retorted the
railroad man. “You see," said he, “there
are lots of people who don’t care about
politics anyway,and they say the Republicans
have had all the offices for twenty years and
it is only fair to give the other side a show,
and so they’ll vote for and elect Hancock.”
“Well," said Hill, “Suppose an insupposable
case—suppose Hancock were elected, do you
suppose it would do you any good? Do you
think you could get an office i" “I know I
could,” promptly responded the disputant.
“Well, I don’t believe any northern democrat
would have any show at all if Hancock was
elected," said Hill confidently. “The fact
is stranger there's just where I’ve got than. I
wed in the Confederate army,” said the
democrat with an honest confidence born
of the best assurance. Hill gave it up and
reluctantly confessed- that the man was fully
justified in his expectations.
We print this week an unusually good ser-
mon. Mr. Thomas, of the New York East
Conference, and now pastor at Mamaroneck,
ought to be much better known. He belongs
in a list of the best one hundred preachers in
our church. Read his sermon and thank us
for worrying the copy out of the hands of its
I a
modest author.-—Methodwt.
Rev. Mr. Thomas having returned from .
his yachting expedition “down east," is now
quietly resting at his shore cottage near Wil-
son's Point. The sermon refessed to above,
is the remarkably eloquent and able one
preached before the Ministerial Association
of the New York East District of the New
York East Conference, at South Norwalk,
June 14th, the subject being “The worldly
Life.”
”
The Democrat explains that Mr. James H.
Olmstead, was induced to give way to Gen.
Couch, because there was‘no other place
where they could put him and gratify a
desire to recognize the soldier element. This
isa little thin, as the boys say. Why was
not Gen. Couch given the place worthy of
his military standing of elector at large, if
the soldier element was to be honorably re-
cognized. We can see no sense in sacrifi-
cing Mr. Olmstead for the sake of giving Gen.
_ Couch a, position, if anything less influential
than. the one he now holds as our Borough
Burgess. .

Wm. H. Benedict, Esq., has made a great
improvement in his place by removing his
T
Democratic State Convention.
IT IS SEIZED \VITH I’ANIC, NOMINATES GOV.
ENGLISH WHO DECLARED HE WOULD NOT
HAVE IT, AND ITS DELEGATES TAKE T0
FLIGHT.
If there is a Connecticut Democrat who is
not politically scared to death it would be
comfortable to see him, as a curiosity. They
held a convention in New Haven last Wed-
nesday, and finding that Ex-Gov. Hubbard,
Waller, Seymour,Ingersoll and others would
not allow the nomination for Governor to be
fOX‘OEd Upon them, in spite of Governor Eng-
lish’s emphatic and almost disrespectful re-
fusals to accept under any circumstances,they
took advantage of his abscncé at Saratoga
and nominated him, and Charles M. Pond,of
Hartford,for the second place on their ticket,
and ran away. But, as
He who votes and runs away
May have to vote another day.
They cautiously authorized their State Com—
mittee to “fill any oacancy that might occur (?)
in the State or electoral tickt. No one was
deputed to “fill the vacancies” in the heads
of the delegates to the convention. All the
mud in all the Democratic papers in the
country couldn't do it.
What a party this “grand old Democratic
party" now isl It always holds its conven-
tions two or three weeks after its opponent,
and devotes the larger part of its time, and
all its brains, toa stupid and blundering imi-
tation of. any thing done by the Republicans
which seems to promise success. The Be—
publicans, by a spontaneous uprising of their
convention‘fiinited two interests by choosing
candidates from New Haven and Hartford.
That was enough. The now “terrified De—
mocracy” would have done the same, if they
had been driven to draw upon a New Haven
graveyard and a Hartford Deaf and Dumb
Asylum for candidates. If “imitation is the
sincerest flattery,” every delegate to the Re-
publican convention owes his thanks and his
profoundest bow to the Democratic delegates.
Long may they wave!
Hubbard declined, and Ingersoll refused to
run, and'Seymour would much rather not,
and Waller did not wish any of the pie, and
Loomis “positively withdrew.” English did
:all of these, and more too, and it remains to
be seen whether he will consent to have this
nomination, bones and all, crammed down
his unwilling throat by a one-idea conven-
tion. It is hardly to be supposed that he
:will consent to play cat’s-paw again to the
ivory men who a_few years ago encbered him
but of the senatorship and gave his place to
Senator Barnum. Still, as the convention
descended so low as to send a committee to
General Hancock to use his influence 'in
coaxing and teasing Governor English to eat
his own words and come to the help of the
‘ Democracy agaist these dreadful Republi—
cans, it is possible that he may he induced to
swallow everything,the nomination included.
~We are neither afraid that he will, nor afraid
that he won’t. The ticket is of no earthly
consequence, except as showing the panic,
the incapacity, and the utter lack of resour-
ces and generalship in the Democratic party.
The Republican nominations have scared
away every available Democratic candidate as
badly as they have served their voters, and
each prefers to hide in the chimney corner.
The party has shown again its inability to do
anything else than waddle along two weeks
in the rear of the Republican party. It can-
not manage its own affairs so as to avoid
these periodical sticks in the mud, and yet
it coolly asks to be intrusted with the man-
agement of the affairs of fifty millions of
people! In fact, will some one kindly tell us
what is the use of the Democratic party,
anyway ?
A Charming Residence.
The shores and adjacent elevations about
romantic Saugatuck present many of the
most attractive suburban residences to be
found anywhere along the Connecticut shore,
but without an exception we think the place
of Mr. Lawrence, on the extreme eastern
point of Saugatuck, or Compo Point, is the
most charming of all. He has about one
hundred acres, one-half of which is in
“grand old woods” of forest trees, and the
remainder in rich table plots of velvety
meadow lands and lawns, or covered with
orchards of all out—door maturing fruits,
smoothly cut hedges and “shrubberies that
Shenstone might have envied,” and flowers
nymphs,” and gardens that recall one’s best
ideal of Eden. His house is unpretentious
in its architecture, but is nevertheless capa—
cious and attractive and opens out upon a
water view of the Sound, of surpassing love-
liness. The grounds about the family man-
sion are thickly studded with statuary of the
classic, sombre and humorous moulds. The
long private driveway down from Compo
street is graveled with fine beach pebbles and
either side set with tulip trees and maples.
His barns are as large and generous as the
heart of their owner, while his graperies and
glass conservatories are enough to make even
an editor disgusted with‘ his honest poverty.
Within his hot houses he has all varieties of
Among the most conspicuous of his fruits
were his bananas, figs and oranges, all now
fruiting, also Japanese plums, a new and
delicious acquisition but recently introduc-
-ed into America from the Orient. His night
blooming cereus showed over fifty matured
blooms, with many new ones still budding
forth. His collection of the various varie—
ties of the cactus family is beyond anything
we have ever seen. In his vegetable garden.
his Lima beans, mounting poles twenty feet
high, his musk melons weighing over twenty
pounds, his tomatoes of five pounds weight,
and other similar prodigies of the vegetable
kingdom, show his chief gardener, our old
friend, Daniel _ Deagan,‘ to be not only an
enthusiastic and experienced cultivator, but
in flowers, fruits and vegetables abundantly
worthy of the U. S. Agricultural Depart—
ment’s diploma of Master of Arts.
What is best of all in relation to this para-
dise, of a seaside homestead, is the entire
freedom and even cordiality with which Mr.
Lawrence greets every one whose tastes or
pleasure are gratified by driving through his
grounds. In a word, it is a most extensive
and superbly kept park, maintained at pri-
vate expense for the enjoyment and delight
.of all reputable persons who choose to enjoy
them. As one of many who have been fa—
.vored with drives through Mr. Lawrence’s
charming grounds, we thus publicly express
our gratitude and advise every reader who
can spend an hour in one of the, most de-
lightful rides in or out of Connecticut, to
follow our example and “go and do likewise.”
Another Head in the Dust.
Now Kate Dodson’s head rolls into Ser-
geant-at-Arms Bright’s basket. She is a col-
ored woman—is the widow of a soldier of
the regular army; she has occupied the posi-
tion in charge of the ladies’ retiring room of
the Senate for some twenty years, and has
given marked satisfaction to the public. She
‘was discharged on Saturday last, to take ef—
fect yesterday. though her duties have been
discharged with fidelity. She is put out
without cause— Washington Republican.
All who have visited the ladies' gallery of
the Senate for the past: twenty years, will
remember the courteous attention of colored
“Kate." No lady ever dropped her port—
monaie, kerchief, fan or glove, without
the faithful “Kate" taking every possible
means of restoring it to the loser. Her ap—
pointment was secured by Massachutts‘ dead
Senator Sumner, but she has met the same
fate as the poor old colored woman so long
in charge. of the ladies’ retiring room in the
House gallery. Neither women were Con-
federate Democrats, and so had to give way.
That's all.

The Change that is Wanted.
The "change” that the democrats insist
the people want, consists in transferring the
executive part of our government back into
the hands of the “solid South,” which now
has both legislative branches in its control.

That Bank Robbery.
About four o‘clock a. m. a few village
milkmen were hovering about our town
hydrant, when the Savings Bank’s sign fell
down from its place over the windows of the
bank to the walk below, with a noisy crash.
At once the rumor spread that bank thieves
had exploded dynamite inside in an effort to
blow open the massive safes,but it proved
all a farce, as Johnny McCormack, the ever
vigilant watchman, was resting as quietly
and undisturbed as a toad under a plantain
leaf, with both eyes open. The boys do say, l
however, that John had recently been‘ to
Danbury.

The N. Y. Archery Club are so charmed

an opportunity to witness their skill in hit-
ting the target at 200 feet.

Night Blooming Cereus.
That famous plant of Mr. Joseph Matheis,
Main street, has again its annual season of
blossoming; it commenced on Sunday even-
ing with eight handsome blossoms, had six
last evening and is expected to have thirteen
this evening. Ladies desiring to see this
noble plant in full flowering would do well
to call at or after nine o’clock, as the flow—_
ers to not fully open before that time. Mr.
Mathcis has kindly consented to place it out
on the walk in front of his residence,Skiddy’s
Block.

Democratic State Convention would not

up Gen. Couch instead, whose war record

We are indebted to Mr. Chas. S. Prowitt
for late copies of Denver, (001.) papers.
They have full accounts of a grand Fireman‘s
Tournament held there on the 12th inst. It
was a contest participated in by State com—
panies and in which the Bates Hose of Don—
ver won the belt for hose trains, running 500
feet, making the connection at the plug, lay-
ing-200 feet of lime, breaking a coupling, at-
taching a nozzle, and getting water in 35}
seconds. In running off ties for book and
ladder teams, Hook No. 2 of Denver won the
belt, running 500 feet, raising a 25-foot lad:
der, and putting a man on top in 25% sec-
onds, the best time on record. The straight.—
away race for book and ladder companies, a
distance of 600 feet, was won by the same
team in 23% seconds. The straight-away
race for hose carriages, a distance of 700 feet
was won by the Alpines of Georgetown in
27} seconds. The Leadville Herald says of
the broken bank of Colorado, that it has not
been able to satisfactorily adjust its liabili-
ties; we regrct to see that our old townsman
and friend, Major Doty, is in danger of los—
ing his savings deposited therein.

The ofl‘icers of- the Fourth Regiment as-
sembled at BridgepOit, last Wednesday, to
elect a successor to Major Doty. Capt. J. C.
Crowe, of Co. D, South Norwalk, was chosen.
Major Crowe has been-connected with the
Regiment as a commissioned officer, from its
organization, we believe, and by faithful ser-
vice has deserved this recognition. His com-
petitors were Capts. Blakeman, Shumway,
Hubbell and Goodwin. It was voted to
change the helmet hats, and a committee was
appointed to procure plans for a monument
which it is proposed to erect in memory of
the late Col. Fairchild.
The promotion of Capt. Crowe will render
an election necessary in D Company, to fill
vacancies. The names of Lieut. Jennings is
very naturally mentioned for promotion,
while the name of A. J. Crossmon‘, a former
popular commander of the Company, and
now a member, is also mentioned.

The New Railroad.
l
Most of the land owners through whose
property the New York, Connecticut. and
Eastern railroad is laid out, were represent-
ed at the hearing before the railroad commis-
sioners at No. 4 Church 'street on Friday, the
layout being shown by maps to be through
New Haven, Milford, Stratford, Bridgeport,
Fairfield, Westport, Norwalk, Darlen, Stam-
ford and Greenwich. The city of New Ha-
ven was represented by Corporation Counsel
Stoddard. After consultation with several
present, Mr. Stoddard stated, that at the
present hearing the only part of the line
of the new road to he discussed was from
the state line to the point where the road in-
tersects with the Derby road out in Orange;
and the new road people had agreed for the
present to leave the city of New Haven part
of the road untouched. Consequently on
behalf of the city‘of New Haven and the
Derby road representatives present he would
withdraw for the present and appear at some
future time.
District Attorney Doolittle represented
George B. Grinnel. of New York city,
whose country residence at Milford would
be ruined by the proposed line of the new
road if it was carried between his barn and
house as laid out. Mr. Doolittle denied the
right of the new company to take any land
-unless it was a corporation, and the speaker
wanted evidence that it was a legal corpora—
tion. He knew the company was not a cor-
poration, for said he, “I took the precau—
tion to get copies of all the records lodged
with the secretary of state, and upon those
records you are not a. corporation.” A mes-
senger from Hartford, later in the day,
brought copies of the articles of the associa-
tion of the company,but even then Mr. Doolit-
tle claimed that the company was not legally
incorporated. After reading the law on the
subject, Mr. Doolittle said that, according
to the engineer’s report of the road, it would
be48 18.100 miles long; and that the law
says that a little over $240,000 must be paid.
What appeared? Why that 2,401 shares,
worth $240,000, had been paid for just $100
more than the law required—rathera small
margin Mr. Doolittle thought, for, a com-
pany that claimed a capital of four millions
or more of dollars. Hon. Levi Warner of
Norwalk, who appeared for the company,
endeavored to explain this matter, but did
not succeed to the satisfaction of Mr. Don‘-
little. ’
Among the objections interposed against
the building of the road was one by James
H. Olmstead, who held that the road would
substantially ruin ,the $50,000 property of
Mrs. L. G. McNullen in Greenwich. F. J.
Beardsley, first selectman of the town of
Stratford, complained that the line of the
new railroad ran through his town so that it
practically blotted out one of the town's
main roads. I. K. Ward of West Haven,
asked that the new company be asked to
properly construct their bridges over the
West Haven borough roads so that they
would give more satisfaction than those
constructed by the Derby road. The latter
built their abutments so they projected and
took up too much space. Selectman S. L.
Smith of Orange, objected to grade crossings
at the Elmwood and Long Hill crossings in
his town. The objection was noted. Select-
man A. P.' Wakenian appeared repesenting
the town of Fairfield and objecting to any
crossings at grade in the town. Joseph F.
Foote, representing the borough of Norwalk,
also objected to the road crossing at grade
streets in his borough, but more especially
Main street. Edwin Sherwood president of
the Oak LawnCemetery association near
Sonthport, objected to the railway crossing a
road leading to the cemetery. Err-Colonel
Hoyt of Greenwich opposed for. Win. Rich,
John Sniffin, Colonel Thomas A. Mead and
Nicholas Cassidy of Greenwich, and raised
the same point that Mr. Stoddard had, viz:
that the company was not a corporation and
therefore not entitled to take the land of his
clients,
Some of these objections the commission-
ers noted. Some of the points will be visit
ed. The company’s agents claimed that
their layout had been made as fairly as pos-
sible. The hearing will be resumed at, some
future time.

Letters from the People.
EDITORS or GAZETTE :—
Will you allow me the space in your paper
to state why, as a workingman and one who
has always voted the Democratic ticket,
except perhaps for some minor town officers,
etc., I cannot vote for Gen. Hancock. Can I
as a mechanic afford to accept the plank in
the Democratic platform which advocates a
tariff "for revenue only.” Take away the
protective tariff and what becomes of the
mechanics of the North? The consequence
will be that we will have to compete with
foreign labor, and every workingman knows
what that means. Our country would be
flooded with foreign goods, and that means
less work for the mechanics of this country.
Free trade would be a nurse to this country,
and I for one do not intend to vote for it.
Now, Mr. Editor, does anybody know how
the Democratic party stands on any of the
leading questions of the day? They say they
are for honest money, but they do not hesi—
tate to run a demagogue and greenbacker in
Indiana, and unite with the soft money
element in Maine and invite Ewing. of Ohio,
the Greenbacker, into the counsels of their
party.. And now comes Wade Hampton and
he tells us about the principles that Eco and
Jackson fought for,etc. What does he want
to bring up the bloody shirt business again
for ? I should think the South had had
enough ofthat. But the North will take
him at his word and we shall have a bloody
shirt campaign, and the Democratic party
cannot find fault, for they commenced it.
I for one am convinced by the action of the
Democratic majority in Congress that they
are not fit to control this Nation. 1 shall
vote for Gunman) and Anrrrnn.
