Little Town Meetings.
'Next Monday, in most towns throughout-
the state, town officers are to be elected
There ought to be unusual care this year in
selecting our very best men, and unusual ef-
forts put forth .for their ,election. The ab-
sard nonsense of non-partizan minority rep-
resentation prevalent, does not lessen our du-
ties in the above respects. The chances of
electing unworthy officers is increased rather
than diminished by the present legal farce,
and this law cannot too soon be repealed.
But don’t. neglect the “little town meetings.”
M—
The Constitutional Amendment.
We hope to see every man, without dis—
tinction of party, sustain the proposed con—
stitutional amendment, altering our mode of 1
Selecting judges. As at present appointed
no one in particular is responsible, with the
usual results in such cases. We believe if
the republican party is in power it is best it
should make square out republican appoint—
ments, and if it be a democratic administra-
tion let democrats, or officers acceptable to
democrats, be selected, and then let either
party he llLlui accountable for the acts of their
appointees. So if the governor is authorized
to appoint a judge there is little doubt of a
selection fit to be made. As things are now
run in matters of official appointments and
in the baser humbug of minority representa-
tion in electing town oflicers, there is very
little responsibility anywhere. For ourselves
in all these matters give us a solid political
ricnd or square out democratic opponent.
M
George W. Pcct. who now is Senator from
the 17th district, and awaiting defeat for
congress on the democratic ticket, was one of
P. T. Barnum’s most active agents in Liteh-
field county when he ran against Wm. H.
Barnum. Peel: boasted only last week that
he would wear no man’s cast off clothing, but
when the nomination was offered he accept-
ed with thanks.
Gen. Hancock allowed himself to be good-
ed into writing a letter asserting he will veto
all rebel claims voted by congress in event of
his election. As he isn’t to be elected its no
matter of difference, but his bourage is des-
tined to lose him votes at the south, as it did
Mr. Tilden. If Gcn. II. is sincere he is enti—
tlcd to credit for his courage and we now
await with intenscst interest an enunciation
of his views on the subject of tissue-ballots,
bull'dozing and Chisholm murders at the
“solid south” for the crime of being republi-
cans.
m
Silk Stocking Club.
Some of our democratic friends in town,
are busy just at present now, forming anew
marching club, to comprise, (using their own
language) “none but respectable people, not
edii‘ty Irishman among them." They are
to have a dashing uniform, and expect to be
out during tin; i‘t'fji:i{ in full feather Whether
they will consent to have the “boys in
white," not as a tail to their kite is not
stated. The question is asked how will the
Mikes, Barneys and Pat‘s, and other Irish-
mcn take this insult to them and their
countrymen? From past experience we
suppose they will swallow the dose and con-
tinue to vote the “dimocratic ticket.”
The Fairficld Baptist Association met on
the 22nd in st at Stepney. Rev. Mr. Pogson
of Bridgeport, preached the opening sermon.
Rev. E. D. Bentley was chosen Moderator,
and also preached the sermon in the evening.
Rev. Mr. Ogden of New Canaan also preach-
ed. The letters from the churches on the
whole were unusually cheering. '

According to our Rowayton correspondent,
the Boys in Blue of Darien and Five Mile
River, are to have a lively time on Thursday
evening at Contentment Island. A fine
display of Edge’s fire works, glee: club sing-
ing,-. illumination, collation, short speeches,
and banner presentation make up the unusual
attraction. " The entertainment will be given
by Thompson Dean, Esq,, at the Centennial
Building, and the Banners will be presented
by Vincent Col yer. Visitors in boats can
see the fire works and illumination and hear
the music from the water.-
We also learn that Benjamin Fitch, Esq,
the venerable founder of the Soldiers Orphan
Home at Darlen, has requested Vincent
Colyer one of the trustees, to arrange for a
grand reception of all the Boys in Blue of
the 12th Congressional District on the
grounds of the Home at an early day. The
receptioii is to be on the most liberal scale,
Mr. Fitch’s wish being to show both his
regard for the boys, many of whom are old
soldiers, and his appreciation of‘the gravity
and impertanec of the present political situ—
atiou.

The Lesson of the Maine Election.
In local politics the lesson to be taken from
i the Maine election in that nothing should be
taken for granted. Even if the State is Re—
publican, it is absolutely needful to gain
.every Congressman possible as an offset to
the thirty Representatives from the “Solid
South,” placed there by the negro vote which
is refused the ballot. In this congressional
district we have a close and hard contest in
hand, but one which we can and shall win,
but to do it we want every vote.
Further: the result in Maine was made
doubtful by the failure of the “business
boom” to reach that State. Let that be a
lesson to our business men. Don’t get the
idea that business has nothing to do with
this election. To you this centest between
Democrats and Republicans means buéiness
or death. If you can influence a neighbor,
if a document explained to a friend can win
a vote, it is your business duty to take the
trouble. _
Further: there is still a large, doubtful
vote. Some men, from a previous belief
that Gui-field was to be elected without effort
and borne to the White House on flowery
beds of case, have hesitated to decide to give
a vote against Hancock. The time for hesi—
tation is past. If every Republican vote is
cast, the census and the four rules of
aiithmctic 'will conspire to make Republican
success a certainty. But the party has now
no room for laggards.
The Maine fight was just the tonic which
the Republican party needed. The party
was born in a fight, cradled in a. fight,
spent its mature manhood in about the
tallest fright recorded in history, and if
it ever dies, fifty or sixty years from now,
the fright in which. it dies will make a history
of itself. It is a fighting party, and the
echoes of the fight in Maine are the bugle
call to the Union. Its blood is up; let the
Democratic party stand from under. Fraud
and State stealing, bull dozing and violence,
bigotry, intolerance, whiskey and ignorance,
are the allied cohorts to rout which is the
appointed and Providential mission of the
Republican party. The crusader, in the
intervals of battle on the sultry Syrian plains,
may sometimes have laid him down to a
lazy and cnervating slumber but the first
triumphant shout of the infidel legions
without the camp was always enough to
rouse him from his lethargy, and bid him
don his harness and go forth again, conquer—
ing and to conquer. And so with the Re—
publican party. Its slumber was brief and
light, but the first deluded shout of Demo-
cratic triumph in Maine was enough to wake
it. And from this time the still hunt is over,
and in a resolute fight, the Republican party
is always on top.
M .
Wednesday Night’s Parade and
' , Meeting.
The address of Joseph L. Barbour of
Hartford, and brother of H. H. Barbour Esq,
of Norwalk, at the Opera House last Wed-
nesday evening, has not been exceeded in
convincing power and eloquence by any
speech thus far in the canvass, and we have
had “the best the market affords.” Mr.
Barbour’s mode of treating the money issue,
the business question and tariff, are apt,
clear and ununswerable, While his eloquent
and pathetic references to the horrors of
Andersonville, it would seem, must take the
last spark of Hancockism out of any loyal
listener, and especially out of any man who
had ever been a soldier. .
The evening’s parade by our own and
visiting Boys in Blue, was a brilliant pageant
that attracted the admiring attention of all
fortunate enough to be where they could see
it. Many residences along the line of their
march were brilliantly illuminated in their
honor and many more would have been but
for the speaking attractions in the Hall. 1n-
the future these things will be managed
better, and evenings will be totally given up
to street parades and on the occasion of a
speaking meeting in the Hall, there will be
no out door demonstrations to divide the
interest. This will give those needed in the
ranks the chance to hear the speaking and
, those preferring the speeches a chance to see
the parade.
The line of march was the same as pub-
lished in our last issue. The companies in
line were the Bigelow Battalion, the colored
club, the City Boys in Blue,the Veterans, the
Independents, a company of leading citizens
of the city on horseback, the Five Mile
River and New Canaan Boys in Blue
Previous to the march the Bigelow Bat:-
talion was surprised by the presentation of
and elegant flag by their lady friends. Dr.
Barbour made the presentation speech, and
the boys respcnded with deafening cheers.

The Ridgeficld Fair. ,
Our neighborszat Ridgeficld had excellent
weather for their Town Fair last week and
they had a very fair show, but not quite up
to their usual exhibit.
The only' departments fully represented
were those devoted to the ladies, and the
specimens of their exquisite fuse and fine
handiwork were the redeeming features of
the fair. Their departments comprising fancy
work, painting, bread, cake and butter mak-
ing, Jae, were quite full and was very attrac'
tive.
The Cattle show was about an average;
Fruit Vegetables and Poultry small.
The Trotting was better than in some
previous years, there being quite a number
0' entries and some very good horses.
The attendance this year was much smaller
than usual, owing the managers thought to
the Andre Centennial at Tarrytown, which
had a tendency to divert from this Fair, as a
great many of its patrons came from that
portion of New York State, lying adjacent to
Ridgcfield. _
The managers all worked hard to make the
Fair a success.
To Business Men.
Every business man knows that if the
Administration remains Republican all the
conditions of financial stability and commer-
cial prosperity will be unchanged. Every
business man knows, also, that a political
revolution which will bring into power the
Democratic party will be disastrous to the
mercantile interests of the country.
Win. A. Hall, of the old and well known
shoe firm of Benedict & Hall, died recently
at his home on the North River. He was a
prominent Republican and a special friend of
Mr. Greeley’s, and an owner at one time in
the Tribune. His interest in that paper was
sold to the senior of the GAZETTE some years
since.
Capt. Anderson, 'of the Americas, did a
gallant not last week which will endear him
to many of our Norwalk people. Miss Ste-
vens, principal of the Home Lawn school
went on board the boat with an invalid
friend, expecting to return to her school as
soon as her friend was made comfortable, but
before a suitable seat was obtained the boat
was moving from the dock. In great per-
plexity she went to the captain and stuted her
situation, that her scholars would meet and
her absence would .be unaccounted for, and
no possible Way of getting word to relieve
their fears before her arrival in New York.
Capt. Anderson said he was already behind
time but under the circumstances would land
at Gregory's Point and let her off, which he
did. .
Chairman Barnum has been to the labor
and expense of' sending copies of the Sun
containing the renegade Lyman Trumbull’s
speech to all the republican voters in Con-
necticut. Why didn’t he add the fact that
Mr. Trumbull, while an U. S. Senator took a
fee of $10,000 for an opinion given Secre-
tary Stanton, that the constitutional amend—
ments were legally enacted. This in addition
to pocketing his back pay, salary grab.

Death and Funeral of Miss
Eliza M. Carter.
On Thursday morning, 23d inst, this com-
munity was shocked by the most unexpected
announcement that the highly esteemed prin-
cipal of one of our ladies’ schools—of which
mention was made in our columns, last week
—had been very suddenly stricken down,
about 9 o'clock, by rheumatism of the heart,
as she was about to enter her school room.
Miss Carter had not been well since the
closing of her school in early summer. Dur—
ing vacation, instead of recruiting her ex—
hausted energies, she had been struggling,
painfully at times, with disease; and was in
no condition to resume work. But the time
had come and she did not shrink, though
over-worked and over—burdened as she had
been. '
- She was the second daughter of Hon. Jo-
siah M. Carter, formerly State’s Attorney for
Fairfield county, a native of New Canaan, a
graduate of Yale college (1826), an eminent
lawyer at this bar, and an honored member of
society, who died March 22d, 1868.
In the higher department of our Union
Center school, which has had such teachers
as Potwin, Payne, Camp, Hubbell, Fairbanks
and others,—-a school in which her honored
father took such interest as one of the com-
mittee with Rev. Dr. Mead,—Miss Carter
laid the foundation of an education which
was further advanced at Miss Dutton’s fa—
mous seminary in New Haven. While there
in tender youth she cordially embraced the
religion of Christ, which she has ever since
illustrated in a devoted life of faith and
works.
Earnest study and culture had eminently
fitted her for the high vocation of the teach—
er, which she enthusiastically embraced two
or three years after her father‘s death,and en-
tered upon it in the seminary of Miss Ram—
sey at Elizabeth, N. J., and prosecuted in a
private school at New Rochelle, and at Well’s
college, Aurora, N. Y., and in the institu-
tion 'of Mr. Watts at Englewood,‘ N.‘ J.
Four years ago, desiring to be with her
honored and beloved mother, and her family
and rightly judging that her motives, aims
and efforts, (so heroic and self-sacrificing)
would be appreciated and sustained in Nor-
.walk, the home of her youth, she established
the School whose early prosperity has justifi-
ed her confidence. We trust it may be main—
tsincd and be made more fully what she de—
sired it should be. What it has been the
progress of her pupils, their so commendable
exhibitions and their devotion to her abund-
antly demonstrated. ‘
Notwithstanding her absorbing duties in
her school Miss Carter had heart and found
time for christian work, especially in connec-
sion with Miss Raymond in the primary _de—
partment of the Sunday-school of her belov—
ed church, also in the Sunday-school of the
Mission church. _
Sudden as was the call she shrank not
from death, but composedly, as the straggle
of dissolving nature could permit, she affec-
tionately bade adieu to her mother and sis—
ters and fell asleep in Jesus.
THE FUNERAL.
A short prayer was ofiered at the house
of Miss Carter by Rev. Mr. Bissell when the
remains were taken to the lat Congregational
church for the funeral service. Arriving at
the church Rev. C. M. Selieck impress—
ively read the Episcopal form on entering.
The hymn beginning “Jesus, lover of my
soul” was then sung by a quartette com—
posed' of Messrs. E. C. Bissell and Parker,
and Mrs. Wilson and Miss Thorp, with Mr.
Gibson. at the organ. The platform and
font about the pulpit were adorned with wild
flowers by the tasteful hands of Mrs. Chas.
S. Lockwood, while the floral pieces con-
tributed by loving friends and pupils were
of the mqst beautiful description. The
scriptures were read by the Pastor who fol -
lowed in abrief address of comfort to the
bereaved family and eulogistic of the deceas-
ed. His reference to the tears shed by her
scholars the morning of her death, even the
sorrow of the little colored children she had
taught in the Sabbath school .and who were
present to attest their love, was touchingly
pathetic. Rev. Mr. Bissell folloWed in a
brief address (in which affectionate refer-
ence was made to the honored father of
the deceased, whose funeral the speaker
was called to attend) which is substantially
outlined in our brieftribute above. The
hymn "Nearer my God to thee” was then
sang, a short prayer and benediction by the
the Pastor, when the cortege proceeded to
the cemetery, where the beautiful Episcopal
service was most tenderly read by Rev. C.
M. Selleek.
H. H. Barbour, Esq., had a narrow es
cape from a serious fire at his pretty, new
Queen Anne cottage last Wednesday even—
ing. ’ His little son in lighting a window gas
jet in one of the front chambers set the lace
curtain in a blaze. The curtains and lambre
quins were pulled down and the fire stamped
out. The damage will be covered by a
couple of hundred dollars.

Democratic Meetings.
(Reported Expressly for the Gazette).
"Red spirits and white, black spirits and grey.
Double, double, toil and trouble.”-Macbcth.
The inviting of J. L. Barbour to speak for
Garfield threw the Democratic Philistines
into as sorry a panic as the incendiary foxes
among the corn of their ancient namesakes
and prototypes. Boss Kelly Hyatt dreaded
the effect of an honest presentation of the
truth by a member of the famous Barbour
family. Ergo, he fled up the Naugatuck
Valley and dragged from his sweet seclusion
the silvery toned orator, Charley Durand, of
Ansonia. Now Charleyhas been the subject
himself of miseries manifold? Miseries in
church and state, in county and town, and it
wasn't kind in Hyatt to drag him hither
om armis, as he personally did, to be har—
nessed with the bugle voiced orator of Flex
Hill, Gen. Nelson Taylor, Jr., attorney. at
law and Notoriously Public at the City of
South Norwalk. Even after getting this
fancy matched team rigged up to go tandem
at Lockwood’s Hall in opposition to that
called by the Republicans at the Opera
House, the Boss lost heart and head and flew
around like an old hen that had hatched
ducks, on the banks of a mill pond. He
mistrusted Durand and doubted Taylor. He
knew the former was wont to bore the“ pa-
tience of his friends, and the latter was not
an altogether enrapturing speaker especially
when he had nothing to talk about. The
Boss clutched his dark auburn hair and beat
his noble and expansive brow as be escorted
Durand from the supper table to the library,
and then darted at the all unprepared Anso-
nian, and shouted—"I have it,:l’ve got it i”
Durand was startled. Seeing the glaring
eyeballs, distended nostrils, clenched teeth
and wild look of the Boss, he began to trem-
ble with a suspicious fear that his friend and
host had “got 'em” sure enough. But the
Boss in a calmer and more confidential mood
continued, “I’ve got it now, I’ll go and get
Heman Barbour t9 speak with you and. so
keep our poor dupes from running OR to.
hear Joe, and thus have their votes imperiled
by listening to his clear presentation of po-
litical truths. That'll just make our opposi-
tion meeting a beautiful success.” Hats were
donned and the twain clambcred down the
giddy steeps of Prospect Hill, and capercd
like young colts to “the house that Barbour
built.” They rang and» were Icon ushered
into the gracious presence“ of the urbane
Heman. Their missionvvas at once made
known. But judge of their chagrin when
the subject of their happy thoughts peremp-
torily refused to be a party to so contempti-
ble, 8. trick. No, he was himself going to
hear one honest presentation of the issues
dividing the two great parties even if he had
to be “boxed” up to accomplish it. This
repulse chilled the visitors to the marrow,
and in the language of an observant urchin
hard by, “a sicker looking pair you never
saw than stumbled from the stoop of- the
Queen Anne Castle.” But the Boss is a little
man of great resources. He had hired the
new Norwalk Band and he felt sure that so
respectable a body of men would attract
enough to Lockwood’s Hall to save his oppo-
sition meeting from' the utter desolation of
last week's fizzle. The Band, however, had
been promised to the Boys in White and
Grey, to lead their procession, which it most
creditably did, thqugh it was torturing to see
so many of the rank and file on behind try-
ing to keep step to the music and at the same
time struggling to overcome the effects of
their too free potations of Lee’s, Hands’,
Ratchford’s and Thompson’s tangle foot. But
the-street parade went off well when we
censider what many had to contend with, (in
their ludicrous efforts to keep in line), and
the fact that in passing the long line of bet-
ter dressed, better looking, and better drilled
Boys in Blue, not an insulting word was
spoken or action exhibited, is most creditable
to the motley democratic procession. They
soon filed in and filled the hall, to the relief
of the Boss and the less interested spectators,
for the smell of kerosene from their extin-
guished yet smoking torches, was a great
relief to the nasal burdens previously borne.
That there is a choice in even the vilest odors
is made very apparent to one who attends a
Democratic meeting. Now, bad tobacco and
worse whisky and raw onions, with stale
cabbage and decomposed turnips, as exhaled
from dcbased human stomach‘s in average
Democratic gatherings here in Norwa’k, can
be greatly relieved and'the atmosphere of
the hall greatly improved by the introduction
of kerosene smoke, though REx would com—
mend carbolic acid as a substitute promising
still better results. Try it “Boss" at your
next meeting and if it fails to mitigate a dis—
gusting evil which detcrs many from attend-
ing your stated gatherings, REX will pay for
the pot of catholic.
The meeting was rescued from the dreary
empty benches of “Misther Saymour’s," of
last week, by the torch bearers and hand;
But Durand was dull and Taylor inane. It
closed heavy and lcaden and without interest.
The special object for which it had been
convened had failed, for scores of lukewarm
democrats and doubtful voters (upon whom
the leaders have their covetous eyes), got
over into Joe Barbour’s meeting after all, and
listened to his unanswerable Republican ar-
\
i
k The sorry day‘s work done at Bridgeport,
"Tuesday, in nominating that temperance
reformer, Pcet, for Congress, to surely invite
the defeat designed for the “male" buying
Barnum, deepened the gloom pervading the
opposition meeting. Bill Taylor, of Dan-
bury, a straight and true Democrat from
time immemorial, might have been nomina—
ted, with some show of an election. But the
faithful adherents of the party are again
given the go by, and George Peet, a renegade
Republican, selected, to repeat the Brugger—
hof folly of two years ago/ It is true they
tried to choke the nomination down Barnum’s
throat, but he had no stomach for a contest
with Miles and .couldn’t be kicked into ac—
cepting. . . 7
Next came the utterly disheartening blun—
(for of that very Wednesday morning in the
renomination of Sheriff Sanford, who, to
show his blind zeal for Democracy, disgraces
himself and his party by loading upon re-
putable communities such deputies as the
law- defying Jerry Donovan. No wonder the
indignant delegate from Ridgefield rose and
announced to the convention—“You have
nominated Sanford but elected Crosby."
Could there be a worse run of luck for a
political party ? Even the fact that Ike Lee
was floating and. dishonoring the stars and
stripes With :1 Hancock attachment, across
from his Democrat—making mill, and at his
own expense, didn’t revive the party’s de—
spondcncy i. hit. Then a shallow effort at
fraud and deceit was attempted by painting
a lying supplement to their South Norwalk
banner, as follows:

by such a bold falsification. 'Did the Demo.
cratie party fight for the Union, or any part,
of it, when it burned New York's orphan
asylums and robbed and maimed and murder-
ed citizens quietly walking the streets. Is it
forgotten that the disuaion sympathizers in
that city, who never failed to vote the “reg-
ular Democratic ticket,” shot and killed
young Williams of Norwalk, the son of a
life-long Democrat, during their riot, inaugu-
rated and- continued for days to thwart the
sending of reinforcements to the decimated
ranks of Union soldiers at the front? Let
Libby Prison, Belle Isle, and Andersonville
answer. Let the sacred memories of the
dear, dead boys now mbulderlng in all our
cemeteries and filling unknown graves all:
over the “Solid South," make reply. Ah,
truly, “whom God wishes to destroy He
first makes mad.”
But something had to be done to “whOOp
up” the flagging Democracy. There was.
grandcouncil of the repeatable leaders (no i
“d—-——d Irish” invited, you‘know), and the
verdict was that a high-toned and strictly.
“respectable” club of native-born “1303’B in
White and Grey’.’. must be immediately or—
ganized- This it was thought might stimu-
late in quarters where the gin and whisky cf '
the scores of Democratic millshad failed to
do its accustomed work. With usual Demo-
cratic consistency, Collector Turk was em-
ployed to canvass for names. He got down
F'red. Mitchell and the Inspector,'.but dodg-
ed Honnccker. Our future P. M., (for the
purposes of the Club), was willing to be a
Frenchman, German, or even I-tali-an, but
Turk was inexorable. No “vile furrincr”
was to be admitted to this select membership.
Indeed, he was specially charged not to ad-
mit any “naturalized citizens" of the Irish
persuasion. They are good enough to do
the marching and voting and filling of kero-
sene torches, but this club must be reolwrchr,
and Turk insists that Honnecker “isn’t that
kind of a cat,” and so not only is he exclu-
ded from the new Club,but his boy is refused
admission though offering to pay five dollars
for the privilege, sq also are Hands, Keene,
Finnerty, Lawlor, et at genus omne. The
new club must wear kid gloves, white neck
ties and button-hole boquets. The uniforms
to be Spiro’s last out of claw hammer coat
tails, with white kerchiefs depending from
the rear. The natural odor of the members
to be concealed or measurably suppressed by
Lubin’s best extracts. This is to be at once
a Sanitary as well as Democratic Reform
Club. It is a work undertaken none too
enterprise the tide setting so strong for Hon-
neckcr will change to Turk for our next post-
master. The “Boss” is big with hope at the
encouraging prospects of the new club, as is
also his first Lieutenant, Ccneh. Hope re—
vived, and the democracy again skipped
about Norwalk like kids in the Borough
pound. 3f . -
Pending the local anxieties and rejoicing
came ,a Macedonian cry ,from dark and
benighted .Westport. to “come over and
eloquent craters from‘eNew York and Bridge-
port would be there. The Norwalk and
South Norwalk “Boys in White and Gray”
were urged to march over. “Refreshments”
(?) were promised and everything to make it
pleasant for the boys. Orders were issued
for the boys to go. South Norwalk took the
smoking car of the 6:50 train to Saugatuck.
The Bridge club footed it, in genuine Demo-
cratic style, with Ed. Lynch's dray in the
lead to carry the transparency, and such as
had become unable' to walk before the pro-
cession started. And here the,besctting ill-
luck of the party again overtook and over-
came them.’ The Saugutuck Hancock Club,
headed by President Wheeler of the
Fairfield County Agricultural society, had
thoughtlessly provided a sumptuous collation
of ham sandwiches, and the day was Friday.
The South Norwalk .club on disembarking
was invited at once to the repeat, but to their
credit, remembering their religious vows,
every man declined the meat. Not being
able to eat, the next most natural thing for a
Democrat was to drink. And drink they did.
While this Belshazzar’s feast was going on
Wheeler sent 'off runners to head off the
Bridge club and deploy it from Westport to
Saugatuck to join the festivities thcrje.
Whisky, beer and cider, (the latter in [all
stages of fermentation), disappeared like frost
before a June sun. The inner truth is that
there is a. sore unpleasantness between the
Saugatuck and Westport Democratic leaders,
and Wheeler is accused of trying to burst
the up-town meeting by thus detaining the
audience. It certainly looked like it, for
after charging the boys up to the nozzle with
liquid fermentations'of the most explosive
characters, he marched and jolted them mile
after mllc, till such abdominal insurrections,
were inaugurated in each torch bearer’s
viscera as to threaten the town’s safety. The
boys were marched and countermarched by
Jack Wheeler to Mose Wilson’s, up the hill
to Bill Finch's, and again dosed with new
older, then to Jack Hurlbutt’s, who led them
back to Brad's tavern. ;_ There had been _,a
terrble scattering and? breaking of ‘ranks
when they got abreast of the hall long after
the meeting had adjourned, but within the
bar room they became so deathly sick that
Al. Relyea compassionately filed them up to
Bradley’s bar and opened the “bat-’1." Host
Bradley assured the boys, the doubtful fluid
be dispensed would allay their pangs and
prove a desperately needed astringent. Mis-
guided souls! Matters soon grew terribly
worse. The poor, writhing creatures never
before dreamed of the awful extremity of
pain Mother Eve’s transgression had brought
upon mankind through the accursed apple.
Their heads were dizzy and their whole
anatomies were wrenched as with the throes
of ten horse power force pumps. What was
there left them but flight? And such a re-
treatl Napoleon at Moscow pales before the
picture! Oh, “what a\ fall (ing down) was
there my countrymen !”
The South Norwalk Boys charged back
upon Saugatuck, strewing the. road with in—
dubitible evidences of the “heavy seas” en-
countered on the way, and the usual nausea
attendant thereupon. The Club from the
Bridge headed. for Peach Swamp, ”’1 the old
road, with the ever feithful Lynch, overloaded
with helpless stragglers bringing up the rear.
The whole thing was worse than a Bull Run
stampede. The poor, demoralized, half
crazed creatures, got Scattered and lost in
the woods and fields‘and staggered their way
over the pike towards Norwalk. The stone
walls and rail fences seemed to have turned
into powerful magnets, and were stuck fast
with poor victims, utterly unable to break
away! One such, in‘ the intervals of his par-
oxysms, from sweet cider gripes, was heard
piteously to moan—“Och Ginril Half—(hie
cock,—Gin- (hic)—ril Half-(hic)-coek—(hic)—
jist (hie) see (hie) what (file) I’m sufferin’
for yee’s 1” Another, unconsciously fell
amid the dry grass with torch unquenched,
and soon was enveloped in lurid flames!
The order from his burning boots was clearly
sulphur, and arousing in the fiery light about
him cried out—“Jist me d—d luck. I start-
ed for Westport. and here I’m sure, in par-
geertory, bad cess to 'em, but thin I doan’t
see’s there’s much difference in the places.”
The road and fields-.between Westport and
Norwalk were liberally strewn with torches,
caps and capes, While the fertilizing material
so copiously spread over the area, promises
abundant harvests for another year. A por—
tion of the South Norwalk club were loaded
on to the Saturday morning Owl by kind
hearted Pat Murphy, and reached home a
little before daylight. A few of their num-
ber got mixed up with the Bridge Boys and
footed it to the Borough. One such soiled
dove sat on the curb stone near the Bridge
early Saturday morning, and when accosted,
replied—“what kind of it cursed town is
this Westport, anyway P" evidently thinking
himself still there. Another was rolled out
of the horse bedding at. Gorham‘s stable, to
the utter sacrifice of the straw. He was too
far gone for intelligible utterance, but as his
half inanimate form was rolled over and
about, the word “West(hic) Westpo’ort,"
could be detected. A little before six O’clock
be revived a. little and
There in the twilight dim and grey, ' _

And yet he muttered—" Solid Seminal“
His breath it man of Bradley‘s Bye,
still he hlcoollkhcd out the cry —
. _“ Welt-l hDQMblc)-parade.”
Rescuinxartieb‘ Were out scouring and
dredging Peat tifswai‘np Saturday, hoping to
rescue those stillml’ss'ing.
It is charged that those who reached the
Borough, and then became incapaple of
standing erect, crawled about on their stom-
achs and chalked the Walks with the New
York Sun's cabalistic figures, $329. This
we do not believe. That work was evidently
done by parties who took more naturally to
the which made of crawling in the dirt ind
bedaubing their hands with the filthy expec-
torations of the pavement.
Oarlong tale of Democratic woes would
be incomplete, did we fail to record the final,
almost, tragedy. Ed. , Lynch had not: only
picked up- the dead (drunk) and .woundcd,
.I
soon, and if Turk succeeds in the grand
. help.” A “grand rally" of the unterrified'
iand unwashe’d,was to,be held there. Grandi—
but he had» faithfully returned the transpar-
'ency and was charged to leave it at Tom
Finnerty’s mill. Tom was closed and he do-
posited it with Martin Lawlor till Tom
should open again. In attempting to with-
draw it from Lawlor‘s,words arose and areg-
ular Donneybrook fair ruction ensued. Ed
claims Lawlor'struck first and vice versa.
But be that as it may the transparency was
pitched into the mud in the middle of the
street while Lawlor and Lynch “had it out"
on the sidewalk in front of Lawlor’s store.
When we met Lynch, scratched, bruised and
bleeding, in answer to inquiry he said he had
been having a little more fun out of that
“Westport parade." And so runs the des-
perate democracy madly on to defeat, and
all admit the Nor-walk end of it never had
.such a thorough clearing out as at the never
to be forgotten Jack Wheeler’s “Westport
parade."
P. S. and N. B.—The silk stocking and
white kid club is a fact and a “thing of been-
ty." Fred Mitchell and Turk have, by en—
ergetic canvassing filled the ranks and fixed
on the following officers :—
Gaptain—Ferd. B. Smith. '
18f Lieut.—Sheriff Wallace Dunn.
2d Liana—Fred, Mitchell. »
Then only the great men of the party or
selected to march at the head with wooden
broad axes as Pioneers. Those thus far se-
lected are :—
Leader—Ex Borough Tycoon Samuel Dis-
kam.
’ Port Surveyor—Burr Smith.
Meturalogm—John Mitchell.
Geologzlet—Philo W. Bates.
Slattery, the Celtic barber, was admitted
“under suspension of the rules” because of
the imperative need of his services as club
perfume: and fine comb scraper. This led
young Honnecker to apply, but he was rude-
ly refused membership on the ground that no
one could be admitted of foreign birth, and
who didn't become a boiled shirt. Attorney
Seymour was urged to join but not untilafter
most of the names to the club Were down.
John is one who prefers to select his compa—
ny for himself, no matter how select the
selections of Mr. Turk and Mr. Mitchell for
him might be and so he peremptorily declin-
ed the doubtful association.
So far, all was glorious; hilarious. But
fates seem against them. They went and
hired Wood’s store for the new club head
quarters. Their blood-shot eyes and thirsty
throats were quick to discern the peculiar
advantages of its location. It was most con-
sistently sandwiched between Ike Lee’s on
the north and Matheis’ “refreshment"mills on
the south, But this morning they have
learned, to their horror, that the store was
last occupied by 'the ghost show and all
democrats are superstitiously afraid .05
ghosts! Can anyone tell why ? Nor is this
all their trouble. They are disgusted to find
that before the ghosts had the store Wood
used it to pack hogs in. And this for a silk
stocking and kid glove club? Did you
ever! REX.
DOUBLE N. B.—The originally formed
club of Boys in White, who are mostly
Irishman, will be required to keep their
proper places in line of march, in the rear of
the silk'stockings. REX.
