Great Numbers and Greater
Enthusiasm.
The meeting called for Tuesday evening -
last, to complete the organization of the
Norwalk GARFIELD IS: ARTHUR Club, was a
most gratifying success. Large numbers
were present, indeed many‘more than could
crowd into the club room, which is the large
store,No. 3, James’ Block. In temper, spirit
and enthusiasm, nothing like it has been seen
in Norwalk since the time when the drum
and fife of the recruiting baud, rallying vol—

unanimously elected.

ON ENTERTAINMENTS, LaFayette Craw.
Col. LOCKWOOD, on taking the chair re—
sponded in a few earnest and soul-stirring re-
iiiarks,and brought every man to his feet with
“three times three” for our ticket, our club
and our success.
The following communication or gr'ecting
from “the first Garfield It: Arthur club formed
in Norwalk.” was presented and read. We
omit the long list of names attached.
We, the undersigned,members'of the Win-
nipauk GARFIELD & ARTHUR Club,
believe, that the continuance of the Repub-
lican party as the governing power is emi—
nently as desirable at this time as at any pe-
riod since the mismanagement of the Demo—
cratic party called it into being.
That it is wiser to trust the government of
the country in the hands of those who fought
through bloody years to save it, than in the
hands of those, who in vain attempted to
dismember it, who tore down the “starry
emblemof the free,” arrayed themselves in
martial array against the defenders of the
Union, starved our fathers and brothers in
their hellish prison pens, and caused the best
blood of our "Nation to flow like a river.
That party who “proclaimed liberty
throughout all the land and unto the inhabi-
tants thereof,” forever blotting out from our
fair land that dark stain of African slavery
’which had so long made us a by—word and
reproach among the nations of the earth, and
when the proclamation of our martyred Lin—
coln made them free. covered them with the
brilliant mantle of American citizenship.
That by its faithfulness and honesty in the
collection and disbursement of the public
revenue have diminished the principal of
the National debt, (that fearful leoacy of the
Democratic rebellion) over $8§8,000,000.
That has by its financial wisdom funded that
debt in four and onevhalf per cent. interest
bearing bonds, thereby reducing the interest
5,302,000,000 annually. That has paid in pen-
. sions to our maimed and crippled soldiers and
sailors and the widows and orphans of those
who lost their lives on the battle fields of the
Republic, over $30,000,000. That caused
our depreciated paper dollar to be worth
every cent of its face promise to pay, and by
its careful legislation fostered and protected
our industries until prosperity again smiles
upon us a busy and contented people.
We therefore unhesitatingly pledge our—
selves to vote for James A. Garfield for Pres-
ident, and Chester A. Arthur for Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States, and to use every
endeavor to induce others to do the same.
Gen. FRED. A. PALMER, of Aiken 00., 80.
Carolina, who was present, then favored the
audience with a short address, which was
repeatedly interrupted by the applause every
one seemed unable to restrain. The General’s
remarks were substantially as follows:
Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Gar-
field and Arthur 0lub:—
_ That} the honor to be invited to address
youthis evening, only about an hour ago, in
the interests of the grandest, the noblest po-
litical organization that has ever existed. I
mean'the Republican party, the one to which
you and I belong. '
rFlipRepublican party is twenty years old
and upwards. Since it was called into being
it has been required to perform laborsnever
before demanded by anypolitical body. The
'Republican paity was born with a mission.
,It is the party of Destiny!
How this august body has performed its
.'
mission, how fulfilled its destiny, let past
events prove and history, declare. When the,
Republican party was born,_tlie Democratic,
party was already hoary With age—up to
this period wielding almost supreme power,
what use had it'made of this |power, what
had it done for the nation? For this party
also let the past speak and history disclose.
It had sanctioned and perpetuated human
slavery. It had declared that slaves had no
souls, were more chattels, and to keep them
in beastly ignorance, it enacted laws, making
it a penal ofienscto teach a slave to read. It
made it a crime with legal penalties attached
for a white person to marry a slave, no mat-
ter what degree of white blood coursed the
veins of said slave; while at the same time
it permitted, nay, it encouraged sexual rela~
tions between the two races, thereby increas-
ing the number of slaves, since it also declar-
ed that any person or child havmg a drop of
black blood in its1 veins, was black, conse-
ueutl 1e all a s ave.
q It missed laryvs that enabled itzto compel the
restoration of slaves to their owners from
any State or Territory in the Union, and
enabling it to severely punish any one who
should aid in the escape, or concealment of
slaves from their owners, and finally sought
by every means, legal or illegal, to_ extend
the boundaries of this “peculiar institution.”
which was the very bone, sinew and life
blood of the Old Democratic party. Finally,
when the people, weary and disgusted With
Democratic misrule, wrested the reins of
government from their hands and entrusted
them to the,keeping of the young Republican
party, the Democratic party still bent on
“Rule or ruin," took possession of all stores,
arms and ammunition it could under any pre-
text lay hands on, and secreted them in
southern strongholds. In every concievable
way it crippled the government, and when it
thought it would fall into its murderous
hands almost without resistance, the Demo—
cratic party fired at Sumpter—the first shot
at the stars and stripes it had sworn to de-
fend. There was literally no standing army,
and the Republic was about in their grasp.
The Republican party had learned its mis-
sion. In four short years it quelled the
The Republican party ended successfully the
most terrible civil war that was ever known.
In four short years, with the resources of the
Government almost hopelessly crippled it,
raised funds, called into the field, armed and
equipped a mighty army with which it swept
the South like a devastating fire—1t freed .4,
000,000 slaves.——it made human beings of
chattels, it swept away the old institutions of
.the South, and . brought order out of chaos.
The Republican party brought peace out of
war, and forever settled the vexed question
of the further extension of slavery. When
this herculean labor was finished, instead of
further humiliating the Democratic party it
forgave it all transgressions and restored to
all their old privileges under the government,
those whose hands were but an hour before
raised against its own life.
Not content with this,the Republican party
'soughtin every way to aid, comfort and con-
ciliate the party it had conquered,and showed
it such incredible kindness that its motives
were construed into cowardice, or remorse
for having presumed to conquer so great 2
people, and its forbearance, interpreted as an
acknowledgement that it had been all wrong,
the war a mistake, the late rebels martyrs,
until today the‘rebels North and South are
as arrogant, as wicked, as unscrupulous, as
determined to still overthrow and destroy the
Government as before the war. '
I repeat, the Republican party is the no—
blest, the grandest, the most magnammous,
forgiving political party that {ever lived. It
has its faults, we know them all, we need no
arrogant Democratic party to point them out
to us. Its labors in the past havebeen gigan-
tic, grand, successful, but its mission is not
yet ended. In the coming (impugn it has
once more to teach the D‘ ocratic party
that it has not forgotten how to conquer,
that its right hand has not yetlost. its cun—
ning. Like a slumbering giant it Will awake,
throw off the silken chains it wears in times
of peace, and arming itself for the fray once
more, it will this time bury the Democratic
party so deep that it will never be resurrected
till the day of judgment. In this last attempt
to destroy the government, the Democratic
party has lost all claim to .consrderation at
our hands, and it will find that the Republi-
can party will show no quarter, it will strike
and spare not, “until the last armed foe” of
free institutions, free speech, free elections,
free ballot, and honest counting of the same.
“expires.”
Gen. Palmer’s address was followed by an
intensely earnest and practical speech from
Rev. G. Haulenbeek, who in turn was fol-
lowed by an eloquent address by Rev. James
H. Smith, pastor of the colored church.
Further addresses were made by E. J .’ Hill
and others, and the m ting adjourned with
several hundred names‘_ the club’s roll of
membership. In all respects the meeting
was a grand success and a most encouraging
augury of victory. -
The speeches were interspersed with songs
by a band of jubilee singers, which were re \
ccived with much enthsiuasm.
The thunder shower last Wednesday noon
was one of the severest of the season. It was
accompanied by gusts of wind which caught
up dust, leaves, sticks, &c.,‘ and whirled
them up and away with great velocity. The
rainfell in torrents. No special damage was
done in this vicinity. A ball of fire struck
the horse railway track in front of the
Methodist parsonage, exploding and scatter-
ing as it reached the ground, leaving no
marks. At Bridgeport, lightning struck the
schooner Mabel, of Maine, killing Chas. F.
Shryber, the steward. The spire of St. Au-
gustine church was struck, and it will cost
several hundred dollars to repair damages.
The yacht Intrepid, was upset near Hart’s
Island, East River, and a yacht was cap
sized in Rockaway Inlet and six persons
drowned-
City Republicans.
Our South Norwalk friends being unable to
get any hall at all adequate to their numbers
are energetically pushing forward the com-
pletion of a capacious Wigwam on the street
to the steamboat. Our friends are wide
awake and have a large number acting with
them who have heretofore been democrats.
When their new building is completed, a
monster dedication meeting is to be held and
eminent speakers are now being secnred.
Put Norwalk down for one of her old~time,
war-period, republican majorities.
At a meeting of the Boys in Blue, held on
Friday evening last the following officers
were elected:
Captain—John McGraw.
First Lieutenant—Charles Brown.
Second Lieutenant—Lester Hunt.
The Independent club is officered as fol-
lows:
Captain—Andrew J. Crossmon.
First Lieutenant—E. F. Jennings.
Second Lieutenant—Geo. Wilkins.
The Hon. James Phelps, Greenbacker, has
again been put in nomination for Congress in
the New Haven district. The Greenbackers
are rampant over their success in forcing
their man upon the old bullion bourbons of
that District. There is this difference, how-
ever, between Congressman Phelps and most
Of these modern Greenback shriekers, we
really think Mr. Phelps does honestly believe
in the financial heresy.
Good, and to the Point.
There have been few speeches ever made
more true and to the point than that of “Joe
Tammany’s” An old time democratic
brother caught him "by the arm and says:
“Well, Joe, you’re going to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall, ain’t yoo?" “I vote
the Democratic ticket this fall," said J oc,
“Why I havn’t drank a drop of rum in nine
months !" Joe seemed innocentlyhnconscious
of the dead shot, but he hit the bulls eye and
that abruptly closed the argument.
Bathing houses may Bf? plenty at Roton
Point to-day, but they have not been during
the warm weather. Last week the demand
was great, and people waited for hours at a
time before they could secure one. It is
rumored, however, that we can expect a bet-
ter state Of things at the Point next year.
The present owner, it is said, will invest
considerable money in improving this resort
before the opening of next season. This
charming resort can easily be made far more
attractive, and the improvements needed
cannot fail to prove remunerative.

On Sunday morning,on their way to church
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Orcutt had occasion to
stop at the residenCe of Mrs. Ells, on North
Avenue. In getting out of the carriage,Mrs.
Orcutt slipped and fell between the wheels
and sidewalk and pitching forward struck
her breast and head against the stepping
stone, or carriage block. Her injuriw were
quite severe but we trust not serious.

Labor-ing Men.
Working men, for once, do your own
thinking. Think what the effect upon you
and your laboring interests would be, if the
free trade platform of the democratic party
were put into effect and the American manu-
facturer forced to compete with the pauper
prices of Europe? You need 116 statesman to
reason out such a problem. Your own intel-
ligence will dictate the answer.
Tire Reform Party.
The party that accepted Wm. M. Tweed,
as its great head andleader.
Tho Patriotic Party.
The party that inaugurated disunion at the
“solid South,” and that gave aid and com—
fort ion at the north.
The Poor Man’s Party.
The party that urges free trade and a sure
closing up and ruin Of American factories
and nominates Wm. H. English, the boss
forclosurer of poor men’s homes, for the vice
president. The dishonored, defeated party
——thc sham democratic party of today. The
people want no such “change."
Sound.
Said Mr. Horace Staples, for so many years
past President of the Westport Bank, and
one of the soundest financial minds of this
State, “I cannot understand how any sane
democrat, who owns a dollar in a National
Bank, in government bonds, in a manufacto-
ry, or in fact any kind of business, can vote
this fall with the democratic party.” Sounder
words of business wisdom were never uttered.
Rev. Dr. Augustus Beard again- preached
from the pulpit of the First Congregational
Church on Sunday, to the delight and edi-
fication of all his hearers. Dr. Beard is
gifted with one of the brightest and most
original minds with which the American pul-
pit is adorned.
Republican Headquarters.
The Club Room, No, 3 James's Block,
Wall Street, will be open every day and
evening (Sunday's excepted) during the cam-
paign. The Daily Tribune, Times, Evening
.Hartford Courant, New Haven Palladium,
Harper’s Weekly, and other papers will be
kept on file. All friends in favor of GAB-
FIELD and ARTHUR are invited to drop in
whenever they can make it convenient.
Head Quarters Boys in Blue.
The {Boys in Blue have rented the large
ball in Hardenbrook’s Building immediately
over the HancoCk Club room, thus literally
trampling the Hancock men under foot from
the start. The boys start off under most
encouraging auspices and number over one
hundred and twenty. Half of these are vet-
erans and the other half will cast their first
vote for the Union and Victory.
- “You might have elected a better man,"
said Gov. English to his friends who came
up election night to congratulate him upon
his supposed victory. The morning came
with fuller i'eturns,and lo,the republicans had
done just that thing. We trust our friend the
ex-Governor will keep that speech standing.

Last week, at Adams’ Brothers factory, a
silver watch was stolen from a vest belonging
to Walter Burr. Suspicion pointed to Alonzo
Kinney as the culprit, and as he was known
to have made a trip to Bridgeport, the police
of that city were communicated with. On
Friday, Geo. Arnold, the depot policeman,
came over and brought the watch, which had
been pawned. On Saturday Kinney admitted
that he took the watch, but that he was in-
toxicated at the time.
Exquisite Grapes.
We are indebted to; those princes of nur-
serymen, Seymour & Downs, for a delicious
exemplification of what they are doing for
our people in the way of introducing new
and valuable varieties of fruits. They send
us specimens of their white “Lady Grape,”
a seedling from the Concord. The bunches
are large, fine and remarkably compact, and
the vines are hardy, while the sweet flavor
excels many of the hot-house varieties. We
hope everyone interested in grape culture
will call and see the vines now in bearing at
their nursery.
“Shoot that Flag.”
As the Garfield & Arthur Club’s glorious
old stars and stripes flag was unfurled to the
breeze, Saturday p. m,, an indiscreet young
scion of democracy shouted out : “0h, shoot
that Republican flag.” The youth spoke
more than he knew. The enemies of that
starry old banner did shoot it and the brave
boys who carried it, for four long, bloody
years, but by the help of a just God and the
resolute will of the Republican party that
has preserved the Union, no traitor hand shall
again—“shoot that flag.”
Arrangements are being perfected for a se-
ries of Sunday School Conventions to be
held during the next two years, under the
auspices of the County Committee of the
Connecticut Sunday School Teachers’ Asso-
ciation. The first of the series is to be held
at the First Congreghtional church, of this
place, Wednesday, Sept. 22, and a local
committee has been appointed to arrange for
the entertainment of delegates. The Sunday
School Committee for Fairfield county are
John W. Osman, Esq., Danbury. Rev. Sam-
uel Scoville, Stamford, Rev. G. B. Day,
Bridgeport, J. L. Ambler, Norwalk.
Pastor Bentley,of the FirstBaptist church,
is off for a short vacation, 9. portion of which
he designs to spend among the hills of
Litchfield county. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell
occupied his pulpit last Sunday morning.
Next SundayMr. H. H. Barbour is engaged
to preach, morning and evening.
The Fair.
The County Fair opens two weeks from
today. The general programme will be found
in our advertising columns to-day.

The only one who enthused "worth a cent"
in Gov.English’s behalf, on the occasion of his
run through our town on his special train,
was our friend Honnecker. He charged
madly down upon the halted train behind
his 2:49 trotter, with eyes and arms, and nos-
trils wildly distended, and as he dashed on
there isn’t a doubt but that John fondly
thought he was driving right into the Post
Ofilce.
. We hope the rollicking “boys" who ac—
companied Gov. English, did not leave him to
pay for the special train on which they voy-
aged to greet him, and “whoop it up" along
the line, as they did for the champagne and
sandwiches with which they entertained him
at the Windsor.

Dr. Chllds.
The Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Childs, of Hart-
ford, has accepted the professorship in the
Presbyterian University at Wooster, 0. This
institution, though young in years, is said to
be prospering greatly and already has in its
various departments between 400 and 500
students. Dr. Childs takes the chair of
mental and moral science.

The Lawn Party.
The party held on the Rectory Grounds of
St. Paul’s church, last Thursday, by young
ladies of the Parish, proved a most gratifying
success,—socially and pecuniarily. In addi-
tion to the usual features of such entertain-
ments there was instrumental music by mem-
bers of the Amateur Orchestra, and singing
by Miss Pennell of South Norwalk. who was
accOmpaniedby Miss. Maria S. Brainerd of
New York, the noted vocalist. The parson-
age was thrown open, and during the eve-
ning the grounds were illuminated. The
young ladies have cause to feel pleased with
the success of their first entertainment.

Reduction of Local Commutation
Rates'on theN. Y., N. 11., and
11. Railroad. '
In an interview with Mr. Geo. H. Watrous
president of the Consolidated road, Vincent
Colyer, of Darien, was authorized to say to
his constituents that the long promised reduc-
tion in local commutation rates, 1'. c. from sta-
tion to station,on the line of that road, would
take place at once, as soon as the new sched—
ule can be arranged. This will be of great
advantage to the many work-people residing
on the line of the road who have to make
daily trips morning and evening to the factov
.ries located at Norwalk. Stamford, Bridge-
ort, New Haven, Wallingford, Meriden,
:Hartford and Thompsonville. It is propos-
ed to keep the old plan of quarterly tickets,
though monthly tickets would be better, but
to bring the prices more in harmony with the
rates to commuters who go daily to New
York. As the reduction in the price of sin-
gle trip tickets last spring has resulted in a
largely increased travel and of cash receipts
to the treasury of the road, so it is not
doubted but that this change will have the
same result while it will tend to decentralize
the population, permit the young men and
the young women, and the husband, to re—
side at the old homestead, though they have
to go daily to the larger cities to work.

The Difference!
Suppose the democratic party, as a party,
should fight the debased rum traffic as per-
sistently as it has and does the National Bank
system,what a difference there would be seen
in all our communities. But no, our Green—
back system is the best ever devised by man,
and so the democracy is bound to fight it as
it fought the old National Bank and brought
business ruin to the whole country, while, as
Mike Walsh once‘boasted, the grog shop is
the legitimate nursery of democracy.
Why Was It ?
Will some good, loyal Democrat honestly
tell us why it was that while our voting was
going on, a little before noon, at the April
election of 1865, when the news of Lee’s
surrender was announced at the Town
House, that every Democrat fled, and not one
day ? What was the disheartening influence
that caused them to hide away and desert
the election?
Another Meeting.
The regular weekly meetingof the Garfield
' 86 Arthur Campaign Club will be held on
Wednesday evening, commencing at 8
o’clock. Several speeches, and good singing
may be expected. Come one, come all.

Mr. Charles Sherwood has made his “Sea-
View” farm something more than a nightly
place for an idler’s home. Under his labor
and care it is a very productive farm and he
is growing fruits of all sorts. and onion, car-
rots, etc., by the ton, and melons of the most
delicious flavor. Hard work and plenty of
manure will produce wonderful crops from
our Norwalk soil.
Thaddeus K. Hubbell died in Wilton last
week of consumption and general debility-
Mr. Hubbell will be remembered by his long
and laborious connection with the lumber in—
terests of his late uncle, Wm. K. James, in—
deed, it is asserted that his fatal illness had
its origin in the excessive labor and exposure
incident to his faithful and nntiring efforts to
promote the business interests of his relative
employer.
Darius St. John one of the oldest and most
respected citizens of New Canaan, died last
week at the great age of eightyetwo. He has
always taken a deep interest in agricultural
matters in our state and county, and when
the Fairfield County Agricultural society was
in its infancy he did much towards making it
in reality what its name purported it to be.
Mr. St. John was a subscriber to the GA-
ZETTE for fifty years and more. In his death
a truly good man has departed.
As Hardenbrook Hall has been rented to
the Boys in Blue, and the Hancock banner is
suspended from their window it is suggested
that the north end of the rope should either
be attached to those undisputed democratic
headquarters; the Connecticut Hotelpr Horse
Railway depot. It is an awful situation for
our already discouraged democratic friends,
and as their banner has already been down
two or three times, we implore the Boys in
Blue to let the thing hang as it is till after
their defeat in November compels them to
run it in out of sight. The Boys in Blue can
in a kindly spirit of magnanimity float their
banner immediately above it, from the top of
the building, and thus the contrast be made
all the more conspicuous. '
Amusements.
Monday, Sept. 0th, opens the theatrical sea-
son at Music Hall, with Mr. John A. Stevens
in his own beautiful drama entitled Unknown.
Mr.’Knapp has had Music Hall all refitted,
with new scenery, new matting. &c., and we
hope this first attraction of 'the season will
bring a large and paying house. The follow-
ing is from the Buffalo Counter:—
The new drama, entitled Unknown, by Mr.
John A. Stevens, who sustains the principal
role, was produced at the Academy of Music
last evening, and, although but little was
known;of‘"l‘heUnknown,”the audience was of
goodly proportions and the play made a tre—
mendous hit. The play is a capital melodra-
ma—the best we have seen in a long time—
and in its construction Mr. Stevens has dis-
played much ingenuity, unmistakable literary
ability. and a wide and accurate knowledge
of stage business. The dialogue is clean,
crisp and epigrammatic; the wit is incisive
and telling; the humor is infectious; the sit-
uations are all effective, and his more stirring
climaxes are of such a character as to bring
down the house in thundreous applause.
Co. F’s' entertainment is to take place at
Lockwood’s Hall, next week. The pro-
gramme will embrace solos,_quaitettes, piano
music, dramatic sketches, refreshments, etc.
There is plenty of musical talent in the Com-
pany, and we have no doubt the entertain-
ment will prove highly pleasing.
MISS K INGSLAND.
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings
Miss Kingsland, the English Magician. will
appear at the. Opera House, under the man-
agement of G. H. Coe of New Haven, who
is enthusiastic in his praises of her perfor—
mances. As she has given but few enter-
tainments in this country we copy the fol—
lowing which we find credited to the London
Times:—
“Miss Kingsland is a lady whose accomp-
lisbments alone suflice to make her attractive,
but when she makes a generous cxibit of her
acquired ability she places herself almost
beyond and above criticism and merely
challenges admiration. She'is an artist of
very neat merit. Her entertainments are
conducted in such anaesthetic fashion that the
most ,‘delicate appetite cannot fail to relish
the pabulum.” .
The bicycle school opened at the Opera
House last week. Much amusement is crea-
ted by the antics of the wheels when mount-
cd by inexperienced riders.

We‘must congratulate our esteemed con-
temporaries of the South Norwalk Sentinel
upon their getting down from the fence and
for cutie inserting something in their columns
that has an independent ring in it. We know
it requires courage to utter pronounced, Opin-
ions, but only such will the public respect.
With one valiant plunge our neighbor plants
his republican colors by inserting Robert In—
gersoll’s reasons why he is not a Hancock
man. This is most stalwart, and while heart-
ily congratulating the Sentinel we must ex -
press regret that it should have placed it
among its ordinary advertisements and thus
to lead a distrustful, scofi‘lng world to sus-
pect that some one had taken pity on its re-
cent wail for public advertising and offered it
pay for inserting so much of, the “truths of
history;” At all events it is a move in the
right direction,- and whatever the motive, our
friend has the Gmm’s hearty congratula—
tions. '

The 17th Reunion.
The reunion of the old 17th Regiment, 0.
V., at Newtown, Saturday, was attended by
nearly two hundred members. A few were
present from Norwalk, and many more
would have been glad to attend if the dis-
tance had not been so great. The pro—
gramme was carried out, and everything
pissed off very agreeably. P. T. Barnum
was one of the guests, and made an address.
The tables were laid under the shades of
trees, and a bountiful dinner was provided
by the hospitable citizens. The Executive
Committee will decide the date and'placc of
the next meeting.
I The Boys in Blue.
The club meeting of Tuesday evening was
followed by another excellent meeting on
Wednesday evening when the young men
completed their organization. Chas. Olms—
tead was chosen chairman, and Arthur C.
Wheeler, Secretary. The following officers
were elected: Captain, Jame§ Cousins, J r. ;
First Lieut., Martin Murray; Second Lieut.,
W. S. L. Gruman; Secretary,A. 0. Wheeler;
Treasurer, R. S. Craufurd; Finance Com,
Horace L. Hubbell, H. S. Sheflield, James
Bailey; Com. on Uniforms, Capt. Cousins,
Fred. Bennett, Lieut, Gruman, L. R. June
andAbel. Before the meeting closed over one
hundred names were enrolled, and additions
are constantly being made. The uniforms
were promptly ordered, and much aim is
manifested in everything undertaken by the
club. -

Those Picture Plates.
Mr. E. K. Lockwood's head salesman, who
also is an ofllcer of the Hancock club, con—
ceived the idea of introducing a recent
crockery novelty in the wayOf table plates
with the pictures of Garfield and Hancock
painted thereupon. Said Requa. confident-
ly, -“now we will see the current of po—
litical preference in the sale of these plates.
These Hancock portraits will all be sold in
less than three days and we shall be stuck
with these Garfiled pictures.” At the end of
the week one Hancock platehad been given
away in the effort to “start the sale,” as
Requa expressed it, and finally, by dint of
much canvassing and coaxing one other was
sold and the account entered on the book.
But the Garfield stock had all been sold and
a constant stream of Republican callers
for more, has nearly set Requa frantic. On
being questioned by the proprietor, as to
whether another hundred of those plates had
not better be sent for, or at least enough of
Garfield’s to satisfy the unprecedented run—
poor Requa,_more out of his head than the
seventeen democratic candidates for the post
office, replied more emphatically than pious-
ly, “D—n the presidential plate business
anyhow." Poor Requa.

’ Receiving Gov. English.
Spontaneous (P) enthusiasm was never
more farcically illustrated than in the efifort
made last week to get a crowd together to go
down and greet the special train that was to
bear Mr. English from New York to New
Haven. It reached South Norwalk depot at
seven p. m. One little horse car load from
the Bridge and a desultory crowd of men
and boys from the city, pressed about the
parlor car “Gov. English,” and when the
statesman whose name adorned the side of
the car, came out on the rear platform and
his. “best man” attempted to expresss the
Governor’s compliments, a brass band which
seemed to be full of music started, a
bugle toot and base drum beating in the
front car so that not a word could be heard.
The governor stood uncovered during the
three minute’s delay and looked aweary.
At Westport, the “boys” fired an old rusty
cannon and thus greeted the Governor’s
nostrils with an ominous smell of brimstone.
At Bridgeport, the crowd was larger and
more enthusiastic. The greatest “enthusi-
asm” seemed to be among a portion of his fel-
low passengers who had been “entertained” ly
the Governor at the hotel inNew York.
And this is the man whom the democrats
of New Haven hung in effigy across Chapel
street a few years since and whom the Repub-
licans have defeated for Governor three times
already, and are sure to defeat again in No-
vember, and who never but once, in the six
times be has run for Governor received above
one thousand votes. It is due to Mr. Eug-
lish to say that he did not want the nomina-
tion and resolutely refused it, but so intense
was his party’s greed for his money to be put
into the canvass to further debauch the poll—
tics of our State, that the poor old man was
rudely coerced into a reluctant acceptance.

EXHIBITION OF LADIES SUITS, ETC.
Some two months ago we noticed the pro-
jection of a new branch of manufacture
which was intended to supply a want long
felt by the better class of our fair sisters, in
providing skirts and suits of a better grade
than has been generally attainable in our
stores. at a price commensurate with their
means, and yet so neatly made and prettily
designed as to insure the approbation of la-
dies of refined ideas. To bring about this
result our enterprising friend, A. L. Willis,
has opened his factory at Beatty’s Straw
Hat Works on Butler street, and has suc—
ceeded in producing new and beautiful
breakfast sacks, fine cloth skirts, walking
and house suits, etc., which for neatness of
style, beauty of workmanship. and originali-
ty of design reflect great credit on his good
taste and the skilled work of his lady assist-
ants. ‘
As many of the ladies of Norwalk and vi—
cinity haye expressed a desire to examine the
goods made at this factory Mr. Willis has
concluded to gratify their wishes in a man-
ner likely to give satisfaction to all. For
this purpose WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY,
Sept. 19!: and 2d, willbe set apart for the re—
ception of visitors, and u cordial invitation is
hereby extended to all to visit the factory on
those days. The hours suggested are be-
tween 10 a. m., ,and 4 p. in.
The work -room will be handsomely deco—
rated and present an attractive appearance,
and we hope our ladies will turn out en masse
in response to the cordial invitation herein
extended. Some beautiful lambrequins tasti-
ly trimmed and pinked will also be exhibi—
ted.

The Democrats of South Norwalk. Conn,
are exceedingly enthusiastic. They organized
a club in the borough four weeks ago, and
elected Gen. Couch president. They have
also organized a Hancock and English Glee
Club of colored singers. They raised one of
the biggest and most costly banners in that
part of the State, over three weeks ago. On
the other hand, though South Norwalk is a
republican stronghold, the republicans appear
to be demoralized. They issued a call for a
meeting four weeks ago to meet in the Ga-
zette office to organize a. club. Only two
were present—the editor and another person,
They soon afterward issued another call. At
this meeting there were four present. They
adjourned, and it was not until they held
their caucus to send delegates to the respec-
tive conventions that they again attempted to
do anything,toward the formation of a club.
They were appointed a committee of seven
to organize the club but it has not yet been
heard from. The democrats Of the city of
South Norwalk organizer] a club about two
weeks ago, electing as their president R. E.
Kinney, ex-chief of the fire department, and
formerly the strongest kind of a republican.
The club is in splendid shape. The members
will receive their uniforms‘ to-night. They
number 1000. They are getting a handsome
banner made. which will be flung to the
breeze on Saturday night.
Some thoughtful friend has been to the
pains to send us a marked copy of the N. Y.
Sun containing the above. It is needless to
attempt any reply to such collossal lying. If
terrified yellings and graveyard whistlings are
to carry an election then we concede the
Hancock men to be ahead. Republicans do
not win intelligent, thinking voters by empty
gong beatings. ‘

Monumental.
We last week referred to some very attract-
ive specimens of monumental work executed
by the New England Granite Works and just
put up in our Norwalk cemetery. The mon-
uments specially referred to are one for Asa
E. Smith and the other for his eldest son
Theodore E. Smith. They are of abeauti—
ful white Westerly granite and are set on the
plot of the Smith family, near the center of
the cemetery. The monument erected to
Mr. Asa E. Smith is a tall shaft of some
28 feet in height, of obelisk style of sculp-
ture. It has a very neat, polished pannelfor
the inscription, which is as follows :
ASA E. SMITH,
BORN OCT. 1, 1798.
DIED JAN. 3, 1880.
The base is admirably proportioned and
the central block has in large raised letters,
cut on the arc of a large circle, the simple
name SMITH. The sharp apex of the tall
and beautiful shaft is ornamented by polished
pendants down and around all its sides. All
in all, we deem this the neatest and most
tasty monument within our cemetery enclos—
ure. .
The monument erected to the son of the
above, Mr. Theodore E. Smith, is a finely
proportioned but short and solid shaft of
some nine feet elevation, surmounted with an
artistically cut cross on the face of which are
the letters I. 39,. S. raised, and with polish—
ed face. The central column has finely fin-
ished panels on the four sides and on the
front is the following inscription, very beau-
tifully and clearly cut:
THEODORE E. SMITH,
BORN June 18, 1827.
DIED April 3, 1879.
This inscription is on a neatly devised
shield ornamented on its outer edges by a
running line or vine cut through the polished
surface. At the base the monument is some
two and a half feet square and two feet at
its top, where the moulding and capstones
are set, and in all, it must be about eight
feet in extreme height. The white granite
out of -which it is cut is very clear looking
and no indications are visible of the iron
particles, so Often found in granite monu-
ments and which so soon disfigure, them
with iron rust. The New England Granite
Company is, located at Hartford and it has
every reason to feel proud of its achieve-
meats and success in the above two extreme-
ly beautiful monuments. We learn that im-
mediate friends of the deceased parties whose
honorable memories these shafts are design-
ed to perpetuate, are exceedingly pleased
with the manner in which the work has been
executed.
