Our Opera House Meeting.
The Republican gathering at the Opera
House, Tuesday evening, was in every sense
a grand success. The stage was filled by our
first citizens, the clergy and other learned
professions, and the merchants and-manufac-
turers and artisans of our village. Hon. J .’
A. Van Wormer, of Utica, made an exhaust-
ive argument of nearly two hours length
proving the financial and tariff heresics of
sham democracy, and the fidelity, honesty
and wisdom of the Republican party in its
twenty years administration of the Govern—
ment. His able arguments were attentively
listened to and.frequcntly interrupted by
enthusiastic applause.
The colored GleeiClub then favored the
audience with campaign songs.
Hon. F. A. Palmer, of Aiken 00., South
Carolina, was next called out and made an
eloquent and effective address. He was
constantly interrupted by applause 'andr‘ac—
corded the closest attention. We hadpre—
pared an extended report of his earnest and
truthful words, but the press of other
imperative matter compels us‘reluctantly to
omit it.
Mr. Palmer was followed by Gen. Smith
of Memphis, Tenn., who, despite the late—
ness of the hour, held the audience’s inter—
ested attention while he narrated the scenes
of democratic iniquity enacted in his section
of the South. The cutting irony~.:of the
Hancock phrase of a “free vote and fair
count,” as illustrated by the leaders of the
“SOlid South,” was graphically set forth. If
honest democrats at the Nurth could only
know the crimes committed ‘atjthe South in
the name of the democracy, they would
break from it as they did in the beginning of
the war.
The Boys in Blue from South Norwalk,
with their beautiful new uniforms and novel
torches, marched up town and enlivened the
meeting by their presence. It was their first
appearance on the street, their uniforms hav-
ing arrived that night. They marched well
and made a fine show.
The colored Glee Club gave several of
their inimitable Garfield songs set to their
favorite melodies.
An inspiring incident of- the evening which
intensified the prevailing enthusiasm was the
receipt of the following dispatch from Sena-
tor Edmunds of grand old Vermont:
. BURLINGTON, V'r., Sept. 7, 1880.
A. H. BrINGrON,—Vermont sends greeting
to her mother State with her constant major-
ity for equal rights in every state, for free
« and honest elections, for real money and pro-
tection of American labor.
GEO. F. EDMUNDSQ
As soon as President Lockwood concluded
its reading the vast audience by one com—
mon impulse rose to its feet and gave three
tremenduous cheers for Vermont and three
more for our candidates.
All in all our first public rally of the cam-
paign was anotable success, and all departed
from the hall at near midnight strengthened
and encouraged for an earnest continuance
of the fight.
At the Wigwam.
Long before the arrival of the ofileers and
speakers the new Wigwam was filled to over-
flowing, and hundreds were pressed against
the structure on all sides. Seats are arranged
only on the outer sides of the building for
the ladies, leaving all the central space as
slandingroom. At eight o’clock President
Rowan called upon State Senator Oliver
Hoyt to address the audience. He did so in
a clear, earnest and convincing manner.
Talking to his common srnse hearers like
a practical, common sense, business man as
is. At the conclusion of his remarks
the music and streams of light from the long _
pzocession of the several companies of the
Boys in Blue, penetrated the Wigwam, and
soon all that could squeeze their way, by
compressing the already compact multitude,
filled up the cr-n'er, but not a fourth part of
the Boys could squeeze into the room, and
as the edifice is made with hinged and eleva-
ted sides, which were all of them open, the
multitude, now increased to not less than
two thousand, pressed closely about the out-
side of the building. As soon as order was
A
u
, restored, Gen. Hawley was introduced, and
in his usual fertld and impassioned way,held
the audience for nearly two hours. His fair
and honest statement of the position of the
two parties, his sound reasoning of the
necessity of still maintaining» in control of
the government that party that carried it
through the democratic rebellion and pre-
served the nation from the bloody attempt of
its enemies at destruction, was so clear and
convincing that it seemed impossible that
any honest, thinking man, who desires the
continuance of his business prosperity, could
hesitate as to what his duty is in the present
political contest.
Gen. Hawlev was almost constantly inter-
rupted by uproarious applause, ahd as cheer
after cheer filled the air, the plucky General
remarked that if this kind of enthusiasm
continued to grow it would soon get to such
a height here in Norwalk that the only thing
a speaker could say would be “hurrah. "
At the close of his able and most masterly
speech, the‘ colored glee club took the stage
and so delighted the audience that notwith-
standing it had been standing nearly three
hours it seemed willing to remain the rest,
of the night to enjoy the melody of the
colored boys’ voices. .
Outside the grand line of Boys in Blue was
reoformed and took up their ‘march to the
Borough, the club from Five Mile River
having returned home by the late train.
All in all no such a demonstration,so clean,
orderly,so imposing,has been witnessed since
the Lincoln campaigns, and it angers well
for the thoroughly aroused sense of duty
which inspires the breast of every patriotic
and sensible man in our midst.
The New Canaan Boys in Blue turned out
in large numbers and made a fine appearance.
With the Bigelow Battalion they were escort-
ed down West me, and thence to the Wig-
wam by the city company. Several residen-
ccs were handsomely illuminated, notably
those of H. H. Barbour, Dr. Clark, Mrs.
Lawrence, D. W. Fitch, Judge Stuart, Eben
Hill, W. H.'Benedict, A. J. Crofut and Cap.
tain Knapp.
The hamlet of the GAZETTE, though
absent at the Wigwam, acknowledges the
"honors” so enthusiastically extended:by. the
New Canaan Boys in Blue, while passing
his residence.

some old favorites including Pat Reilly and
'-the Delanos, and a full band and orchestra.
For full programme see bills. ‘
UNCLE TOM’S CABIN.
This old favorite is to be produced again
the Anthony &. Ellis Company, which is
. undoubtedly the largest and best in existence .
Several new and taking features will be in-
troduced as specified in the adv. and bills.
Few plays are as deeply interesting as old
“Uncle Tom" when faithfully produced.
The Norwalk Orchestra won golden opin-
' ions at the Opera House, last Wednesday
evening. They may expect a large audience
at their Concert on the 24th.
The entertainment of 1 Company F, at their
armory, Lockwood’s Hall, last Wednesday
evening, was a very good one and they
ought to have had a full house. We trust
that in all future efforts they will be greeted
with crowded houses. They deserve it, and
with the talent possessed in the company as
shown in and through the various scenes of
their evening performance they will certainly
succeed in pleasing whenever they choose to
appear before the public. They were thor-
ougly enjoyable in everything.
i.‘
Quite a sell was perpetrated on the public
last week, by a rumor that the old Fairfield
County Bank was closed and an examiner
from New York had been sent for. It turned
out, the lock to the outer safe had become
disarranged and would not open on the com—
bination, so that the maker had to be tele-
graphed for. All efforts to force the door
failed and thc'bolts were finally picked to
pieces.
Two Moro'Clubs.
Two more clubs of Boys in Blue, are being
organized. A new company of another hun-
dred will be at once equipped, and a colored
club is already organized and equipped.
PERSONALS.
Dr. Glines is on a visit to his old home in
Ohio.
Miss A. Woodbury is visiting old friends
in town.
The aged father of engineer Rider, died
last week.
John Cotter and family have been rusti—
eating and recuperating at Short Beach.
Burgess Merrill is confined to the house

again. , _ . _
Sergeant Wright of the Metropolitan
Police was in town yesterday greeting old
friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Dusenbury, of Brooklyn,
were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Blascer, over
Sunday.
Hon. George B. Robinson, the founder of
Leadvillc and republican candidate for Lieut.
Governor of Colorado, and who is sure to be
elected also, was on a visit to Chas T. Leon-
ard last Week. Q
We are exceedingly. pained to learn that
Hon. Calvin Cbilds, our U. S. District At—
torney, is, it is feared, hopelessly ill at his
home in Stamford, from what appears to be
partial paralysis of the brain.
The New Haven Palladium prints 9. letter
written :to the Hon. Marshall Jewell by an
“alleged reliable New York gentleman” who
has been informed of a scheme approved by
ex Senator Barnum for disfranchisin g some
2,000 republican voters by inducing them to
bet on the election and then challenging their
votes. The proposition is too _thin to
require serious consideration, and it is a-
refiection on Mr. Barnum’s acknowledged
shrewedness to suppose that he is wasting
time or money in such business. He deals
in mules not in fools.
Our reporter gives elsewhere a. friendly
account of the impressions made upon him
while in attendance upon the two democratic
meetings held in Norwalk last week, which
.will repay perusal: We find his narrative
substantially agrees with the general impres-
sion of all other intelligent citizens who
heard and saw what he so aptly describes.
Chorus Club.
It is proposed to organize a strong chorus
club for the campaign. Mr. Alex S. Gibson
has taken the matter in hand,and will be sure
to make it a success. It will be a grand good
feature. ~
New Voters.
Persons entitled to be made voters should
hand in their names to the Town Committee.
The sooner the better. Men who have voted
here before, and been away, should see about
having their names restored.
The late Railroad Accident.
We find we were misinformed as to the
presence of a freight train in our narrative
last week, of the accident to Mrs. Bouton,
and we notice we have also misled the
Sentinelmhich Copied the chief points of the
GAZELTE’S article. Mrs. Bouton was struck
by the up passenger train, just as stated by
us, but her own and her friend; theory that
there was any freight train in sight at the
time of the accident is fallacious. The
freight train from the east did not emerge
into view till after Mrs. Bouton had been
carried into an adjacent house. The engineer
of the passenger train, states that Mrs. B.
was standing upright in her buggy, as if in
readiness Ito jump, when his engine struck
her carriage, and he says the collision shot
her fully thirty feet into the air. She landed
on the side of the track as already narrated,
probably striking on her hands and knees.
The concvssion of the fall must have been
terrible, yet, almost marvelously, she sus-
tained no serious bruises or even skin
abrasions. Dr. Emily Pardee who had her
in charge since her return from the west, on
the day following the accident,ascertained
that two of the front teeth had been loosen-
ed, and her friends fearedthat her jaw had
been fractured. Dr. Swift, dentist, pro—
nounced the jaw itself not fractured, and
hopes to have the teeth all right in a few
days. All in all, it is one of the-mostin-
comprehensible escapes from death, on re-
cord.

From Labor to Best
The death of Mr. Edwin Hoyt, which oc-
curred last Wednesday, takes from us anoth-
er of our most estimable elderly citizens. His
life and character were of the quiet, unobtru-
sive sort, yet in all respects he was a model
of the courteous, winning and lovable gentle-
man and friend. He was a prominent Mason
and initiated a member of St. John’s Lodge
of Norwalk, in 1822, years before many of its
present members were born. ' For several
years he was Eminent Commander of Clinton
Commandery.
“ Life's labor done, as sinks the clay—
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say
‘ How blest the righteous when he dies.
The funeral was attended on Saturday
afternoon. The remains were taken to St.
Paul’s church where the usual Episcopal
services were held. At the grave, the beauti-
ful Masonic and Templar services were read
in a very impressive manner, under the au—
spices of St. Job i’s Lodge and Clinton Com-
mandery, K. T. G. M., J. H. Barlow, of
Birmingham, was present.

Matrimony or Death.
Chas. Greenburgb, a German, aged 27, has
boarded with the' widow Geo. Cleveland at
Whistleville. Sunday night the two were
seated in pleasant converse, when he seized a.
rope and ran to the woods, threatening to
hang himself. Mrs C., in terror, ran to one
neighbor and another to give the alarm. Mr.
Ireland started in the direction‘ he'had taken
and soon found him hanging from the limb of
a tree. He was cut down insensible and Dr,
Pardee sent for, but before his arrival he had
recovered sufficiently to walk with help back
to the house. The Doctor arrived and found
him out of danger, though his breathing was
still very labored. On being questioned he
confessed that unless he could marry the fair
widow lady, he wished to die, and she had
refused to listen to his tale of love. He was
conveyed to the City station house reception
room, and remained till Monday morning,
when the kind-hearted Mrs. Cleveland called
and saidif he loved her as deeply as he had
given evidence, she would marry .him then
and there. A license was procured at once
and Justice Bouton made the twain one flesh
inatanter, and new life runs like a happy
dreamto both.

Our opponents with their natural prone-
ness to blundering, blundered as usual in ar—V
ranging to " have their first " meeting last
week at South Norwalk, in the middle
of the street. It is true they are not all
to blame for obstructing travel to and from
the depot, for it is due to truth to say that
more than half of the obstructing crowd
were Republicans, attracted into the street
by curiosity, no doubt, more than any desire
to listen to the democratic oratory. Our
friend James H. Olmsteud of Stamford was
the first to rise and attempt a speech. By
some fatal mistake he, too, attempted to start
off with an eloquent apostrophe to the motto,
which with painful satire challenges: the con-
tradiction Of every intelligent man who roads.
It is in these words:
AFREEBALLOT ...... .3
3 AND A E
3 FAIR COUNT. 5
As he struggled for some ~eloquent afila-
tus and failed more dismally than he
was ever known iodo, it was easy to see
that “Tissue Ballots,” Shot Gun Policy,”
“Counting out” in Alabama and New York,
“coffee stained false naturalization papers,”
and the thousand outrages and frauds 'upon a
free ballot of which his party has been pro-
ven guilty, was haunting his memory and
verifying Shakspcarc, in “that conscience
doth make cowards of us all.” The next
speaker was the ever genial and versatile K.
D. Gallagher of New Haven. He soon made
it apparent that he had more voice and less
conscience than Olmstead. His resounding
voice echoed all about the amphitheatre of
hills surrounding our sister city, like a fog
horn, and his arguments were quite as clear
and unanswerable. Many democrats were
indecorous enough to praise his speech at the
expense of poor Olmstead, who evidently
“didn’t feel well," because “sound and fury”
Gallaher came more nearly up to the aver-
age dcmocrat’s idea of a finished oration.
The democrat’s second meeting at Lock-
wood's Hall, Thursday night was still more
disheartening. A cold easterly. wind and
rain had set in and chilled and dampened
everything. Gov. Andrews' Bank Commis-t
sioner procured a seedy hack, becoming the
mud and' weather, and had Senator Eaton
and ex-Postmaster Edward Spicer Cleveland
driven from the Depot in great state to Ed.
Thompson’s hotel. This blunder seemed
more depressing upon the spirits (?) of the
party than the drenching rain,and the effects
of the visit were unmistakable upon Cleve—
land far into the evening. It s'oc'm became
apparent that Thompson, (faithful as he is
to democracy in all its forms and effective as
'his establishment is known to be in proniOd
ting democracy) was not to have the little
pittance of patronage of entertaining the dis"- '
tinguished Hartford speakers, ahd they were
ruthlessly wheeled awainleveland to the
charming red (hot) residence of lawyer H.
H. Barbour, and Senator Eaton to the home
of another attorneyrwho has not yet taken
to the ministry, but removed as far as
possible away from Thompson’s, which
seemed to satisfy the desire of the orators.
The usual jv‘fstage fixtures" adorned the
platform. Four Colored boys, for a dollar
each, had contracted to sing, and the poor
fellows fairly blushed with mortification, and
Well they might, as the first sound that
caught your ”reporter’s ears on entering the
hall was: “What’s them d—n nagurs doin’
on the sthage forninst the speakers’ any-
how ?” , | _,
All wreatbeilin smiles, Cleveland rose to
speak. Cleveland, always speaks first. He
did not open with his accustomed peroration
about the “freagle of Edom" but repeatedly
got asbadly mixed as when in one of the
dizzy flights of his oration, he thus mangled
our national bird. He said the claim that
the Republicans put down the war was a lie.
Cleveland,every one seemed to concede,knew
all about liea,.and so that was settled. He did
not say Republicans always boasted that in—
dividual members of the democratic party
did bravely fight ,._._S:_i,(_1_e_,_ by "sidemwith
the vRe‘publica'ns' to put down the rebel—
lion, while the Democratic party in the
North and South was doing its utmost to
defeat the heroic efforts of their soldiers in
the field. Neither did he say that not one
single Republican ever fought to destroy the
Union. He had heard the story of the old
judge to the young lawyer who sought his
advice. (It is surmised that Attorney Bar-
bour communicated it to him while at tea).
“If you cannot find anything to say for your
own side, why, then there is nothing left you
to do but to abuse the opposite side.” Cleve-
land acted faithfully up to the suggestion.
The chief burden of his soul was that so
great and so good a man as he knew Garfield
to really he, should have accepteda legal
retainer of $5,000 for professional work hon-
bstlydone, and a further sum of $347 as
profits on Credit Mobiler stock, which has

loose when he reached the point in his high
(old) oration eulogistic cf Samuel J. Tilden.~ t
He “pointed with pride" to him as the man
many Ring of unhnng thieves that had so
long despoiled the groaning, helpless tax
payers of New York. (Up to this period
his cane most vigorously and applaudingly
into the floor, but it was observed that he
suddenly lost interest in this particular
exordium). Glowing with heat and the
eloquent recollection of his visit to Thomp-
son’s tavern,.Cleveland went up higher and
heights,he shouted out at the tOp of his lungs
—“And Tilden also burst up and broke down
the damnable demorat-—" Here catching for
breath he caught the angry gleam of old
Senator Eaton’s eye and saw at once, and for
the ten thousandth'time, that like Mrs. Par—
tington, he could never open his month
without putting his foot in it. The good
natured democrats laughed outright at his
blunder and his mortification. Disconcertcd
as Cleveland was by the derisive laughter of
his audience over this bull, he aptly essayed
to give the “boys” “caromels,” and shouted
out—“Let any one look these men before
me in the face and they would instinctively
know they were democrats.” And the open
mouths,uncombed hair and unkempt shining
of many of them fully justified the remark.
There was no disputing this proposition of
Cleveland's. Thus thrown from his Pegasus
the solemn Senator “tally," and turning
abruptly he screeched out that those dire
Republicans were even now in a can'-
spiracy to give his friend’s seat in the U. S.
Senate to ,General Joseph R. Hawley. (A
faint murmur of applause went through the
audience.) “But,” said the eloquent Cleve—
land, “before that shall be done they’ve got
to walla over my dead body I” This unlucky
quoting of the Senator’s own antebellum
too visibly gall and gravel and ashes in Mr.
Eaton’s teeth. He became‘as nervous as if a
hornet were in the seat of his pants. But it
was no use to attempt to give Cleveland any
more signals of distress. It clearly made
matters worse, and he was permitted to
drivle through. All the remainder seemed
boys say, up to the end, when he seemingly
caught a fragment Of his accustomed afilatus
and ended his grand Norwalk oration in
exactly these words: “The democratic party
on the 4th day of next November is going to
erect its old foundations SO deep that its
“D—n a 11
who had dispersed and despoiled the Tam— does down there in Norwalk.”
from old Wheat. at
With becoming dignity and solemnity
Senator Eaton rose to addressthe audience
Cleveland had so long hitsrnately wearied
and amused. The Senator is no Spring
chicken. He is a shrewd lawyer and advo-
cate and he took in at a glance the calibre of
the audience before him, and so had to
dwarf his arguments so far below his own
abilities as a man of intelligence and :1 States-
man of experience, that to the ordinary. mind
his remarks were made to seem unworthy
both the senator and the man. The Senator
has a reputation for honesty and courage.
This is why he and Cleveland make such a
grotesque, “fancy matched team" on the
democratic stump. Hismost serious charge
against the Republican party was true. They
have given away in the homestead bill to
poor and industrious settlers millions of

fully satiqf'y those who invited him.here and
no one else of course has any disposition to
here as their party’s U. 8. Senator was more
pleasingr‘ff not more edifying than anything
he said. As he took his seat his face seemed
to express the same satisfaction of the dying
confessidn of the Irishman—“Thank God,
I’ve neverE-killsd anybody and anybody has
never killéd me.” .. '; i _
The usiial stage ,Oi-naments had been act
with an giftist’s precisidn. Postmaster Hon-
necker and Collector Turk were placed at
widest poséible points of separation, at the
front, of. course, while at the apex' of the
triangle vi'as Rev. B. H. Barbour, who justly
diverted the audience’s admiration from the
others, as he was really the handsomest little
man on the platform. Of course, such a
commanding central figure could not escape.
and although it was far into the night, the
galls for “Barbour,” “Barbour,” could not
e resisted, and he, with the mostch’eei‘ful
alacrity, hesitated, andthen was lust, in by
far the best speech of the evenihg’ti-‘T‘Hé said
he was‘htrugsliug away from “politics and
intimated his hope to lead-*av‘better life. He
did not-quote Pinda'rf‘s “Reformed, Regener-
ate, Rogues of Grace," who stood—
“Ode ey'e‘to heaven deploring moral evil,
The other winking qown upon the devil,”
but ' he very broadly hinted that the demo-
cratic party was no better than it ought to
be, and though his aims _ and hopes were for
something higher and better, he still should
give thedemocratic party his faulty and
support just so long asit ptoiniséd success.
His speech for the cause was ‘ eloquent and
by far the best of the evening, but nature
detests a vacuum, and as Clevelandqhad the
first two hours of the evening the empty
craniums were filled... withrhis. froth, and
Barbour’s pathos allfient for naught.
Norwalkjghashad no such wild eloquence
as Clevelanfl’s since the Town House orator
perorated__r,_,his Fourth of July oration in ’49,
these words: “Let us lift the veil of time
and look back into futurity and see our Rev-
olutionaryforefathers bleeding and dying on
Plymouth’s famous rock.”
There was a most grotesque admixture of
the comical and absolutely ridiculous,
throughout the meeting of the party of mis-
representation and false pretenses, but the
most solemnly ludicrous scene was left to be
enacted by Senator Eaton at the Horse Rail-
way depot next morning, just prior ,to that
aged‘statesman’s departure for his, home in
Hartford. Jimmy Gordon, the colored pol-
isher of Jaqui’s stoves and ranges; chanced
to be present. Gpvernor Andrews’ Bank
Commissioner Hyatt at once with great for-
mality introduced James-710 tho-amm.u.
one ot’thé‘To'hf‘Iiegfd‘ minstrels who had
been coaxed to sing Hancock’s melodies at
his and Cleveland's meeting the previous
night—at a dollar a- head. The Senator
rushed upon the colored “friend and brother”
and seizing both his hands he began to bum
in an undertone the refrain :
“Where Afric’s sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand.”
James’ hands were badly soiled with stove
polish, and the Senator's warm grip peeled it
off upon his own like pollen from the
lily. But he would not let go till he had
made James promise to come and sing to the
disconsolate democracy of Hartford.
promised James payment of expenses and
all manner of fat things if he would be sure
and come, and James said on such conditions
he would. Hyatt, seeing the situation, stood
by with a soiled towel wrencbed from the
towel rack, and nudging the Senator to “wipe

the state that, inasmuch as an electors’ meet-
ing is to be held on the first Monday of Oc-
tober next, for the purpose of voting upon a
constitutional amendment, the machinery of
the election laws is to be put in operation,
voters admitted and new registration lists to
be prepared. This is a mistake. The elec-
tion law of ' 1877, page 230, section 15,
(pamphlet laws) does not require it to be
done, but the act of 1878, page 305, chapter
72, section 2, expressly forbids it, and the 3d
section imposes penalties upon any person
who shall violate the law. The 2d section
reads as follows:
“The board of selectmcn and town clerk
shall not be in session in any town for the
purpose of admitting electors except upon the
days prescribed by law, preceding the elec—
tors’ meeting in November.”
An amendment was voted on in 1879 and
the legislature (acts of 1879 chapterllo, page
457) passed a special acts provididg for the
admission of electors to vote‘ upon that
amendment, but which expired with the
