The Fall Elections.

The elections of today in Ohio and Indi-
ans will, in one event, decide the Presiden-
~tiiiii'elccl'ion. If both go Republican our
Democratic friends will agree with us that
“the game is over,” and General Hancock
may in future draw his pay and rations in
peace and quiet, undisturbed by any illusory
dreams of an unattainable Presidency. For,
to the Republican party, neither of these
States is indispensable; outside of them it is

- backed by the whole power, resources, and
enthusiasm of the North frOm Maine to
California. To the Democratic party both
are indispensable, for they have no chance in
Connecticut or New Jersey,and neither New
York nor Indiana'alone could supplement
their “Superb” solid Southern vote sufileient-
ly to seat their candidate. Therefore defeat
in Ohio or Indiana which they have been
trying to discount in advance, means politi-
cal danger of the most pressing kind, and
defeat in Ohio and Indiana means simply po-
litical drouth. How we in Connecticut have
“kept our end up” the recent town elections
show; how our Weptern brethren have done
let the news of tomorrow tell us.

Within twenty—four hours every one will
be wiser as to the Nevember result than he
is now. To us the danger, if any, seems
greater in Ohio than in Indiana. Indiana is
a Democratic State, and our enthusiastic
Ohio Republicans have carried the war into
Africa so warmly that they may have left
their own country= exposed to a sudden in-
cursion of the enemy. In that one danger
lies the only reason for apprehension. A
Democratic still hunt “for meat” (with
mules) is their only chance in Ohio, and such
a chance we are confident from all advices
the Ohio Republicans have not left them.
But let the thought of it give caution to our
friends at home. The price of freedom from
Southern domination is eternal vigilance. For
three weeks more letevery muscle be strain-
ed, not an effort relax, and the result will
show that "mules” are no more successful in
Connecticut than out of it.

It is comfortable, however, to reflect that
four weeks from today the mud—flinging
will be over and the Democratic papers, after
speculating about President Garfield’s Cabi-
net, will settle calmly down to the belief
that he is not a bad fellow after all. But it
is painful to think, on the other hand, that
an honest, high-souled, faithful servantof
the Republic, whose whole being feels an
accusation of dishonesty whose than a blow,
should have been compelled to undergo such
an ordeal as DemOcratic slanders have made
of this campaign. And it is shameful to think,
now that the Democratic party has learned
this cheap and nasty way of managing a
political campaign, that no candidate can
ever be nominated on the Republican ticket
without a'certainty' of much the same expe-
rience. If ‘any man by life, services, and
experience, seemed to have earned an exemp-
tion from such attacks,it was Garfield beyond
all others, and the causeless and baseless
slanders which have been heaped upon him
are enough to drive honest men even further
from the politics than they have been in the
past. The country owes it to itself, to its
hopes of obtaining faithful servants in the
future, to rebuke Democratic methods by
making Garfield President, and every good
citizen can aid in the work. .

Remember, Republicans, in doubtful states
one per cent. of the note generally turns the
scale. If, then, one in fiftyof you can secure
the promise of a Democratic or doubtful
voter to cast his ballot for the Republican
electors, the State is safe beyond a pera‘dven-
ture. Make it so! 1

Good Roads.

One of our prominent citizens who enjoys
the charming drives about old Norwalk—and
who does not ?-.expresses his delight at the
universally good roads all about the town
where the selectmen have had control. We
can add our own judgment that they have
not been so generally good in twenty years.
While those in 'the Borough, we do not re—
member ever to have seen so bad. If you
doubt it take the. little patch of hillocks in
front of J ackson’s store, for instance.

The Assessors. ’

The members of the new Board of Asses-
sors promptly commenced their labors last
week, and are now ready to receive lists.

_ They will furnish blanks upon application.
Tax payers read their ofilcial notice and gov-
ern yourselves accordingly. T

Encouraging.

The Democrat gives the following en—
couraging morsel to its candidates for Sher
ill and Congressman. Speaking of the
Democratic party and its “harmony,” herein
Norwalk, it says :

“Bickerings, quarrels, dissensions, is the
history of the party. It makes every re-
publican smile when you suggest that they
may elect their ticket In aloealelectmnnfle
knows full well that no matter how united
they may appear_ a week. before election
takes place, they Will be dmded as surely as
the sun rises on election day."

Well, ~we must admit that this is about so
and we presume it will be continued just so
long as “the party” will load all its honors
on new candidates and desert all who have
always been faithful and true to the party,
as was conspicuously the case with James
Mitchell last week.

H #
A Temperance Mayor.

The Sentinel emphasizes the announce-
ment that South Norwalk has secured a
Temperance Mayor. We have no doubt Of
it, and yet we deem the insinuation that
Mayor Swartz was anyless such, a false im-
putation. We are sorry to see our esteemed

contemporary [not ; only losing its head,

"butt-its hitherto reputation for. fair and honest,

. .7 I ' 3 ng with its opponents. Nothingis tobe

' ‘ 'l'ff'g'lli‘ned by false imputations, and the Sentinel

in its ludricious efforts to be neutral, should
learn of the old adage: “be just and-fear

no ."

Tuesday’s Republican Rally.

Hon. George H. Watrous and Senator O.
H.Platt favored the citizens of Norwalk,
Tuesday evening last,with two of the strong-
est and most unanswerable arguments' in
behalf of continuing the Republican party
in power, which have yet been delivered
here. Mr. Wattous in opening, observed
that be had seen it stated that the President
of the Consolidated Railroad was to address
the People of Norwalk. This was a mistake.
The President of that corporation, as such,
bad no politics and no candidate, whereas he
hadboth. He wasas an individual and a
business man for Garfield and Arthur. and
for continuing the Republican party in
pOWer, because the best interests of the
nation would, in his judgment, be promoted
thereby. He deemed it neither prudent or
safe t3 reinstate that party in power which
was and surely would be dominated by the
South. It was not wise, indeed it would be
dangerous to reinstate those in poWer who
had so recently sought to destroy the nation
and only laid down their armed rebellion
upon utter exhaustion of all their physical
powers of resistance. He alluded to the
motto on the banner he had observed at South
Norwalk, in the words, “We vote as we
shot, for the whole Union.” He could not
understand this sentiment at this end of the
line, and thought it must have been borrowed
from the South At the South they Could
properly say they vote as they shot, but if
the veterans of the Union army were to do
that in reality, the solid South and their
Northern allies would be apt to get very
seriously damaged,as they did when in arms.
He would not say that all those who claimed
to be veterans and were now in the Hancock
ranks were bounty jumpers and skulkers of
duty in the war, but he would say that every
bounty jumper and deserter and skulker of
duty would now be found advocating Han—
cock, the superb. For all the best interests
of peace, good governnent and business pros-
perity, he most earnestly hoped that the
Republican ticket would triumph in No—
vembcr.

Senator Platt, though quite feeble from
his injury and long illness, followed Mr.
Watrous and enlarged upon hissargument,
proving the folly and wickedness of restoring
the Democratic party to power. It was
most unsafe and would prove disastrous to
all our best interests. He compared the dis-
tinct civilization of the South with that of
the North and 'West. He showed their
aversion to popular industries and education.
They had no well-sustained system of free
schools, or savings banks, or other: popu.
lar modes of elevating the masses, as with
us. The leaders there were intolerant and a
small minority dominated in all matters,
political or otherwise. He read from one of
their school textbooks a paragraph to show
their hoatility to the tariff system of protec-
tion to American manufactures, s6 popular
in New England. He revealed the novel
and interesting fact that the text of the
Cincinnati anti-tariff plank in the Demo-
cratic platform is taken bodily from adopted
constitution of the late Confederate States!
They adopted this inutheir orgauic law so it
could not be repeglpdgla prohibition of all
tariffs save for revenue only. There was to
be no protection to manufacturers or to the
thousands of laborers in all Our mills tolera—
ted by the Democratic party of to-day, and
the very words of their platform was stolen
bodily from the Confederate constitution.
There was food for thought in all that was
said, and while neither speaker made the least
attempt at oratorical effects, the logic of their
arguments was irresistable and unanswerable.
We have had many who were present testify-
ing to us of the convincing force and power
of these two addresses. The Republicans of
Norwalk are more than grateful to the two
distinguished gentlemen for "the generous
sacrifice of time and convenience in coming
here to talk to our people in such an earnest,
epractical and convincing manner.

 

 

Our former republican friend and associate
Geo. W. Peet, Esq., now in nomination by
the democrats as their candidate for Con
gress; realizing the able and exhaustive man-
ner in which Messrs. Wm. H. Barnum, F.
W. Bruggerhof, etc., discussed political is—
sues upon the stump has challenged the Hon.
Frederick Miles to meet him in joint debate.
Mr. Miles makes no pretense of being a
public speaker, but he is a level headed man
of for more than ordinary practical common
sense, and like Gen. .Grant, has a plain and
blunt way of expressing himself that would
be very likely to cut friend Peel down to the
waters edge by :the simple conundrum,
whether it was not the hope and expectation
and promise of the congressional nomination
that explains the singular fact of his now
being in the democratic party.

The Danbury Fair
Last week was as successful as usual and
notwithstanding the large crowds present
everything passed of smoothly and nicely,
this was probably owing to the fact that no
intoxicating liquors were allowed to be sold
on the grounds, and all attempts to do so
were promptly ferreled out and the offend-
ers punished ; one individuol got a four
menths sentence in'jail for trying to sell. The
attendance was a little larger than last year,
the number of tickets sold at the gate being
:13 follOWS ,

Thursday, 7,656 6,903

In addition to prohibiting the sale of
liquors, 'no gambling devices of any kind
were allowed. Friend Kroger of Wilton,had
full-sway on the grounds and has been highly
complimented for the order kept. Why can’t
hclrun the County Fair in the same'way ?

§Grant and the Boys in Blue.
This Monday night’s display of the Boys
in Blue in New York, in honor of Gen.
Grant, is confidently expected to be the most
inspiringpolitical spectacle ever witnessed
in America. Fifteen thousand torch bearers
are expected from Philadelphia alone. Many
of our Norwalk boys went down to see the
monster pageant.

 

 

Mob Violence.
It would seem the Democratic leaders in
New York were heat upon invoking mob
violence to carry their points in illegal regis-
tration, and voting there in November. “Lit-
tle Johnny Davenport" don’t scare worth a

cent, however.

Hyers Sisters.

This singing and playing troupe of colored
performers gave us a most satisfactory exhi—
bition of their wonderful powers of melody
and song, at the Opera House, last week-
Wherever they may go we bespeak for them
full houses,as none can fail to be charmed by
their melodious voices.

 

At the Opera House to-night, a fair will
open, forgthefpurpose of raising funds to
liquidate the expenses incurred in the recent
improvements made at St. Mary’s Church,
including frescoing, etc. We hope the man-
agers may receive liberal encouragement.

Mr. Smith of the Norwalk Pottery, in-
forms us that at no time within his remem-
brance has his establishment had such a
large run of orders for stone pots in which
to lay down fall butter. This is doubtless
owing to the unusually fine ffall pastures.
The amount of fall butter being laid down,
Mr. Smith says is unprecedented.

' AT SOUTH NORWALK.

Grand ParadO—and Illumi-
nation.

The Republicans of the city have arranged
for a grand parade and general illumination
to take place on Thursday evening next.

 

evening will be devoted to the demonstration,
which is expected to surpass anything yet
held in this part of the State. Invitations
have been extended to twenty—two clubs, and
the responses so far received indicate that
some 1,800 men will be in line. Captain
Russell will act as Marshall, with competent
assistants. The Commissary Department is
in excellent hands, and there need be no fear
but that all who participate will fare well.
The committeeon illuminations and fireworks
will see that everything is all right in their
departments.
1 Line of March.

The column will form on North Main
street, (West ave.) and march to the Borough
line, tbcnce countermarch to West street, to
Chapel street, to Golden Hill, to Bay View
avenue, to High street, to West street, to
Lowe street, countermarch to Clay street, to
Washington street, to South Main street, to
Monroe street, to Chestnut street, to Concord
street, to Elizabeth street, toWIiter street,
to VanZant avenue, to Hoyt street. to Henry
street, to East avenue, to refreshments.

The illuminations will undoubtedly be
very general and beautiful, and the entire
demonstration a delight and credit to the
public spirited citizens.

Meeting shis Evening.

At the Wigwam, this Tuesday evening,
Hon. Samuel Fessenden, of Stamford, will
address the meeting. He is too well known
as an eloquent speeker to need commenda-
tion from the press.

Next Week Tuesday

Congressman Fan, of Maine, will speak.
Particulars hereafter.

Drowned.

A distressing event occurred Saturday

night resulting in the drowning of Mrs. Dan-
iel Gilmore, whose husband is the engineer
of the propeller City of Norwalk. Mrs.
Gilmore boarded with her two children—
aged seven and three—at Mike Nolan’s while
her husband’s duties required him to remain
on board the'boat. At about half past ten
Mrs. G. left home to visit her husband. She
called on an acquaintance near the lock-up
and remained a half hour later and was last
seen endeavoring to enter the propeller yard.
It appears she attempted to board the boat
lying at the dock, but with gang-plank
drawn in for the night, and apparently‘lost
her hold of the vessels side and fell to the
water below. A young man who came up
as a passenger and was sleeping abreast of
where she fell, heard a woman scream and
arose and called to one of the employes on
the boat, saying there was a woman over-
board, but as nothing could be seen or heard
it was surmised that the boy who gave the
alarm had been dreaming. The engineer who
was asleep in his room on the opposite and
forward side of the boat had no knowledge
of this alarm. A Mrs. Bresner, living near,
also heard a woman scream once, but gave it
no heed as no further outcry was given.
Sunday morning engineer Gilmore went up
to Nolan’s and inquired for his wife and to
his surprise was informed she had left to
visit him the previous night and had not re-
turned. The poor man in great alarm then
traced her as above and came to the terrible
conclusion that sheihad, in attempting to
board the vessehfalle'n overboard. A search
was made and her lifeless body soon found
beneath the water, between the dock and
boat. Mrs. G. was a woman about thirty
years of age, Her name was Mary Sweeney
before her marriage, and she was employed
at Morison’s shirt factory. She has had four
children, her eldest and youngest only, sur—
viving her. Her husband has been engineer
on White’s line ever since it commenced run-
ning here. The poor man is overwhelmed
with grief at the terrible afiliction which has.
overtaken him, and universal sympathy is
expressed in behalf of the stricken family.
A jury of inquest was summoned which
met at Mr. Nolan’s at 6 p. m., last evening
and the above facts were substantially elicit-
ed. A severe contusion on the lady’s tem—
ple seemed to indicate that in her fall she
had struck the vessel‘s side or one of the
dock logs, and was rendered insensible and
immediately sank in consequence. This cir-
cumstance explains the fact that but one out-
cry was heard, and no struggle in the water
could be discovered at the time the boygav e
notice of the fall and single outcry he had
heard.

#

Helen Potter’s Pleiadcs.
As we have before announced Miss;Pot-
ter’s company will appear at Lockwood’s
Hall, on Friday evening next. This is her
first appearance up town in over five years
and we are sure our people will give her
“Pleiadcs” a warm welcome, for Miss Potter
has ever'been a favorite here personally.
At South Norwalk, last year, the company
gaveexCellent satisfaction, and Miss Potter’s
Recitations and Personations surprised and
delighted her old friends. This year the
company is entirely new, and we doubt not
is equally as good. Seals will be sold at
Betts’ drug store this morning, and should be
secured at once.

 

 

 

Connecticut Republican.
F. S. Lyon, Esq, issued on Saturday the
first number of abright little paper at South
Norwalk with the above name. As its name
implies there is no neutral folly or deceit
about'it, but it manfully carries its colors at
mast-head. The generous amount of local
advertising which fills its columns is a sure
indication that the business portion of South
Norwalk is heartily with the new enterprise.

Commodore Perkins informed us some
time since of his company’s intention to put
a new passenger .boat on the Norwalk route
next spring, but also stated that as yet no

definite action had been taken.

The Sentinel calls on the GAZETTE for
light as it is bothered to know how the Bor—

plain that, all the democrats and a few re—
publicans voted that way.

At the late election the democracy elected
but one man other than that secured by the
minority'representation farce. Certain com-
binations weremade against Judge Stuart for
Justice and he was defeated by Fred Mead,
who received the highest vote on the demo-
cratic ticket. Dr. Brush, as stated in our
last, made a good run for grand juror, but
just as he was about to “tally one" he was
tripped up by a blunder,—too many fish in
the fry.

If the democracy had carried the late Town
election they would have gone wild with de-
light. The cannon would huve been fired,
bonfires would have illumined the sky, the
“boys” would have paraded, and the noise
would have been deafening. As it is, they
say the result is of no consequence and in no

manner indicative of the result in November.

FROM OUR LOCAL BEI’ORTERS.

Mrs. H. II. Elwcll, we are pained to learn,
is slowly passing away. Her latent disease
has so far developed as to leave her survival
9. question of but a very brief period. , The
hearts of all, are deeply moved at her and
her family’s distress. ‘

The New York 85 New Haven Railroad
is now laying up a massive stone wall beside
Seymour & Down’s nursery, with a view to
the widening of their road bed for the laying
of another side track. We marvel that the
city government does not takesome action
towards inducing the railroad company to
fill up and utilize that breeder of malarial
disease, the pond hole on the east side of the
track. It would pay the company to do this
and it would doubly pay the city to have it
done. The crossing to the nursery grounds
ought also to be excavated so that the drive -
way should be under instead of over the
track, and now is a good time to secure both
improvements,

A decree of divorce has been awarded Mrs.
E. A. Woodward, and the terms of settle—
ment mutually agreed upon. Mrs. Wood-
ward, it is understood, deeds hack to her
late husband, all the real estate derived from
him, and now standing in her name, and he
on his part, agrees to surrender to the mother,
the care and control of the two youngest
children. and to pay all the‘court expenses
involved in the mother‘s application for
divorce, and to pay Mr. James H. Olmstead
her attorney, his fee of $2,500, and to settle
upon Mrs. W. the further sum of fifty
thousand dollars. It is also stated that Mr.
Woodward Opposedno objections to his wife’s
application for the decree, but fevored the
same, and that the final details of the settle-
ment Were brought about by the intervention
of mutual friends who were invited into the
case at the request and submission of all the
parties in interest.

If Indiana goes against us to-day, it is no
Republican loss, and should cause us no
discouragement. If it goes for us it is a
cause of serious apprehension to the demo-
cracy, as it is and has been, one of their
surest strongholds. The loss of Ohio to us,
would be about equal to the loss of Indiana
to the Democrats, in its effects upon the
Presidential issue.

German Services.

On Sunday next, October 17th, the Right
Rev. Dr. Edward Hergoz, Old Catholic
Bishop of Switzerland, will visit the German
Congregation of South Norwalk.

The Bishop will celebrate the Holy Com—
munion at Trinity church (in German) at S
30 a. m., and preach the sermon at the vespcr
service which is to be held at, St. Paul's up
town, at 3 o’clock.

On Friday preceding, Oct. 15th, at 7:30 p.
m., the Rev. Mr. Rockstroh will lecture and
hold a preparatory service to the Holy Com-
munion in the Sunday LSchool room of
Trinity church. 3

At the service in St. Paul’s the German
choir will be supported by the choir of
Bethlehem Chapel, New York, who will also
sing the communion office in the morning.

The following is the programme for the
service at St. Paul’s :

 

Invocation, Mendelssohn.
Our Father, Winterberger.
Magnificat, Gregorian.
Nunc dimittis, _ Gregorian.

Oflertory—Gloria from xiith, Mass Niozart-
Mr. Hermaan Raumfeld, of New York,
will preside at the organ.

 

At the late election quite a number of votes
were lost by men carelessly depositing their
ballots for town officers and justices
folded together and put in one box. Some
men wrote a name on the ticket opposite the
name of a man they wanted to defeat, and
then failed to scratch the printed name, thus
making an excess of candidates and causing
their vote for that dfilce to be thrown out.
These things are at every election, and often
by men who have the reputation of being
intelligent. When will men learn how to
vote ?

 

New Voters.

The Registrars of the various voting dis-
tricts will be in session next Thursday, 14th,
for the purpose or receiving applications of
persons desiring to be made voters, and to
perfect their lists. Hand in your names. No
names can be added to the list after Friday
next. Remember every new voter must
make an application in writing, and his ap—
plicution must be in the hands of the Regis-
trars as soon as Friday. Next week the
Registrars will hold two sessions for correc—
ting aud perfecting their lists.

A Miraculous Cure ofAsthma.
Emma, N. Y., Dec. 1873.
DR. S. D. HOWEVDGBI‘ Sir : You adver-
tise that any person buying and taking your,
“Milk Cure” and “Tonic" will be cured of
asthma, etc. I have done so, and my
asthma, of over twenty years existence, is
gone. Iinduced a friend, residing sixteen
miles distant, to try it; he did so, and his
asthma, too, is one. I commenced taking it
on the 2lst of ovember last, and my friend
on the 6th or 7th of December instant; both
very bad, obstinate cases. I can give full
particulars of the case if desired. Allow me
to refer yen to Gerity do Morrell, druggists,
here, as to the facts which 'I. have in this

MEssns. EDITORS:
I desire again to announce to the Lum-
ber-loving and Lumber-buying public that,
notwithstanding the unprecedented drought
at points of production and the enormous de-
mand at points of consumption, (both of
which items have tended materially to reduce
the supply,) I have now in stock and en route
the largest, most complete and satisfactory
assortment of Lumber ever offered in this
market. As evidence of this factI refer to
some few items below and respectfully re—
quest an examination of my stock by any one
who contemplates buying. I offer:

750,000 ft. BANGOR SPRUCE TIMBER in

all sizes from 2x3 to 6x10 and 8x8 making a

specialty this year to keep in stock long

Shingles in this part of the State, and having
bought for cash and shipping upon low
freights can sell at the lowest price in the
market. If the "dear public” would buy
Shingles let them call upon me, for I literally
mean “business" in this respect.

I would also call attention to the item of
100,000 ft. of 5 and 6 inch BARN BOARDS
planed two sides, dressed T. & G. split from
gang sawed stock boards, absolutely free from
sap and every piece sound as a nut. I also

This Furnace is well known to the trade as being the most powerful heating Furnace ever
put on the market, and combining under the Thatcher patent more good points than exist in

any other Cast Iron Furnace yet made. . Some nine or ten thousand of the Furnaces are now
in use, more than 5,000 of them in buildings of all classes owned by the Astors of N ow York

City. ,
CONSTRUCTION.

As will- be seen by referring to the cut the grate and fire bed are entirely new and of two
parts only. The Radiating P011313 0n the fire-pot give the best security against overheating
-‘ the air by extending a large radiating surface to came in contact with the air to be heated.
The tubes in the body shell and in this Furnace through which the air is forced being cast
Iwithout joints they will not burn out'and the air cannot escape through them without being
raised to a very high temperature.

An examination of the Furnace at our factory cannot fail to convince the most skeptical
mind of their great superiority over anything before ofl‘ered in this line.
