Never was a political party more fortunate than ours in the selection of all its candi- dates. - ' JamesA. Garfield Is now too well known from his orphan infancy to manhood to need any word of commendation. It has been our pleasure to have personally known him ever since he entered :Congress. A grander in- lerlcct, a nobler nature, a purer -life and, character, no man ever possessed. Proudly will the nation claim the once bare foot boy, its next President. Chester A. Arthur, The second name,on the ticket, is a gentle- man of college culture, and large experience. He isa lawyer of eminent abilities. He is no where so popular as where most intimatly known. He is sure by the vote of his own cznpire state to be our next Vice President. HOBART B. BIGELOW, Our candidate for Governor, is everybody’s friend, and so universally popular, that his majority in Connecticut is confidently put at not less than Flee Thousand. So strongis he, that he will carry our whole State Ticket with him most overwhelmingly. MR. BULKELEY For Lieut Governor, is a. clear headed, prac- tically wise mam. who though not among the men of large wealth of Hartford, was the first one in Connecticut to telegraph a donation of ten thousand dollars to the suf- ferers by the Chicago Fire, Our candidates f or Secretary and Controller are both super- ior, able and upright men of stainless repu- isi ions. DAVID P. NICHOLS of Daubury, our candidate for State Treas- urer, has again and again proved himself one of the most capable and careful ofiicers Con- necticut ever had. FREDERICK MILES Has represented the 4th District in Congress for two years. He is a wise man, of few words, but many ideas. He is capable. faithful to his congressional duties and con— slant in efforts to subserve his district. Unlike his comptcitor he is a man of cool head and temperate habits. He was elected before, and will be again, even though Mr. Poet’s recent departure from the Republican " ; lead him to expect straggling "1 his old time political associ« ."Ie all other renegadcs, will lose ’ 'i will gain. CHARLES H. CROSBY, Cur candidate for Sheriff. has alreadyLshown our county of what stuff he is made, by run- ning far ahead of his ticket. This year he is morally certain to be elected as hundreds of democrats have already determined to desert their regular nominee and vote for Crosby. OLIVER HOYT Our present State Senator, is again in nom- ination for another election. He did not want it, but the people wanted him. He is a man of large business experiences and lar- ger still, of head and heart. He was once invited to a place in the Cabinet of General Grant, but modestly declined, His princely contributions to every religious or human— torian appeal to his noble, generous nature,is known of all men. Against him, is pitted by the democracy, Asa Smith of Norwalk, and no one doubts the result. ASA B. WOODWARD, The present Judge of Probate for this Dis— . 1‘" 3 i trict of Norwalk, was elected before, by the very large majority of 040. He has made hosts of steadfast ftiends in the discharge of his official duties, and will Surely he I'c-clccted but it should be by a great- ly increased majority, as this is an office tconserves the interests of the dead and widow, and orphan, and should not be in ide a bone of purzizm strife It is no dispar- agcmcnt to any pevtous incumbent to say that the 'Norwalk Probate District has never had an abler or better Judge. ' Our Norwalk REPRESENTATIVES, ’ whoever they may be, will be selected for their ability and worth. Here at the Bridge, the popular preference seems to have settled quite preponderatiugly upon Geo. R. Cowles. At South Norwalk, R. H. Rowan, Tal— madge Baker, D. P. Ely and W. S. Bouton, are most prominently mentioned. The can— cus may be depended upon to make‘no mis— takes and our whole ticket, we believe to be absolutely certain to win. And now boys,up and at the common enemy and victory is ours. 22:341.?— Irlshmen Read ! We would call attention to a seriously written article from that able and non- partisan Catholic paper the New York Tablet, which we publish on our outside to- day. There is not an Irishman in Norwalk or Connecticut who does not know all the Tablet says to be strictly true, and yet they will bare their sturdy backs .at every elec - tion to the democratic leaders lash and vote the “regular ticket.” But all do not and will not. A larger number of naturalized Iris'hmcn will vote for Gen. Garfield than ever voted for any Republican Presidential candidate before. . Down Again. This tizne, it was the gale from the South that tore down our Democratic friends’ ban— ner, which fell again on Friday night last. What an unfortunate party. Look out for Rom-backs. The Democracy are so utterly panic- stricken and frightened that they have lost their head, and Republicans must be prepar- ed this week, for any lie, cheat, fraud or , other iniquity, that partisans utterly unscru— pulous can concoct. Look out for them. - .fi-.————' The Fire Parade. The annual parade of the Borough Fire Department, last Wednesday, passed off very pleasantly. The Wheeler & Wilson Band furnished excellent music. The programme laid down in the last GAZETTE was earriedout _ to thelctter. The several companies looked well, and never marched better, while the apparatus was in fine condition. We have had larger parades, but few more creditable. ‘—__——_.—__-————- At South Norwalk the election will be held iathe store No. 69 Washington street, in- stead of Military Hall, as heretofore. The Putnam Phalanx of Hartford were at Washington last Friday. Also the Sedgwick Guards. Both being on their return from ELECTION! Tuesday, November 2nd. ___._— Polls Open at 6:00 A. M. ' Close ' at 5:00 P. M. G Our Next Meeting. Hon. Secretary Sherman has honored the old town of his family’s nativity, and given great personal gratification to our citizens generally, by consenting to stop over here on his way to New Haven, where he speaks in the evening of Saturday next, and address our citizens on the political issues of the day. Mr. Sherman has few equals and no superiors, in his clear, able, earnest and eloquent pres- entation of the truths of history as affecting the vital questions of our financial system, which after all, is the foundation stone of all national prosperity and greatness. may. war. II. 'rnoxras, needs no introduction to our Norwalk peo— ple. Dcvout, honest anti earnest, and rare— ly eloquent, he always delights as well as instructs his audiences. No better combi- nation of speakers, for the culightment and profitable enjoyment of our citizens, could possibly have been arranged. Let there be a full and appreciative audience. The ladies of course are ever welcome at a Republican meeting. Next Monday Night’s Meeting. Ex-Governor VauZandt,‘ of Rhode Island, one of the ablest and most eloquent speakers on the Republican stump, will speak at the Opera House next Monday evening, Nov. 1. Hon. “7m. P. Ficro, of New York, whose eloquent address with James G. Blaine, at Bridgeport, pnd Rev. Mr. Thomas at Music Hall, the same evening, two years since, will be recalled by many of our citizens, will also speak with ex-Gov. VanZandt next Monday night. Mr. Fiero is a. most electrifying speaker and will more than delight all who attend. /’ Disgraceful Partizanship. The same old game that was “set up” to defeat P. T. Barnum, when running for Congress, is now being played upon Repre- sentative MILES. The dodge is to get some miscreant professing to be a Republican to go around among the Catholic clergy and proffer them a large amount of money for their influence in behalf of the Republican candidate. Of course the proffer is purposely so made as to be indignantly spurned, but the Priest is liable to be deceived by the in- tended sell. It is a base trick of the enemy ad was so thoroughly exposed in the Bar- num campaign no one ought to be deceived by it. A party in such a desperate craze that it will steal the private telegrams of its oppo- nents, and commit forgeries, to carry their ends, will resort to any deceit or deviltry that promises them assistance. .. '———_.—‘. Illuminations Our citizens will need no urging to illu- minate their residences and grounds next Thursday night, Already active exertions are being made. to procure suitable material for lights and decorations. Each family will illuminate according to their own ideas and means, and the greater the variety the finer will be the general effect. Just how to il- luminate will puzzle many people of moder- ate means, and yet it need not be a matter of much expense or trouble. In Stamford the old fashioned way of using candles in all the windows predominated. At South Nor- walk fine effects were produced with “fire balls” strung on w'res in straight lines or scattered over the grounds Chinese lanterns are extensively used by all who can obtain them, but they are now scarce and rather costly, Tar barrels are often used to good advantage, especially on high ground. Fire- works are always pleasing, and a few Roman Candles or Red Lights add wonderfully to the effect as the procession is passing. ' Such things, however, should be secured in ad- vance. Flags always come in play, and red, white, and blue cloths of any kind in festoons, please the, eye. Colored gpapers in the windows are used with fine effect. Others who have but little time to prepare, light up the front rooms and raise the curtains, the i teriors showing off nicely. The boys in line always appreciate a light, however modest; and we have known them to cheer a tallow candle in the window of a colored man’s house as heartily as the brilliant illu- inations of his more favored ' neighbors. Then illuminate! illuminate! l devise ,some- thing new and novel, if you can, but be sure to illuminate in some manner. Vote the Whole Ticket. Our victory will not be complete unless the whole ticket is elected. Our opponents despairing of electing Hancock are trying their best to secure Republican votes for their Congressman, Senator, Sheriff and Represen- tatives. Special efforts will be made in this District to elect their candidates for the State Senate and the House of Representatives, in order to secure the rc-election of Senator Eaton for six years. Stand firm! Don’t Like I (7. Several mutual friends have been to the trouble to notify us that the Democratic candidates for State Senator and for Judge of Probate are highly incensed at the GA— zs’rrE, for its references to their candidacy. We can see neither justice or good sense in this. Most. gentlemen who accept nomina- tions for politicalofiices in times of high par— tiz-tn excitement, have intelligence enough to recognize the fact that they thus make them- selves the subjects of‘legitimate criticism. We republish below, what the GAZETTE said of our displeased friends, last week. We designed to treat them generously and fairly, and we still think we did. If they are, upon a calmer second reading, still disposed to question the accuracy of our statements, we are ready at any time to admit free their cards of contradiction: ' (From the Gazette of Oct. 19th.) SENATOR. Asa Smith, Esq, the present head of the Norwalk Pottery, was nominated for State Senator last week, Mr. Smith is a gentle- man of probity, property and character. But all his good qualities, which we gladly concede, will not prevent the triumphant re- election of Hon. Oliver Hoyt, the statesman and philanthropist. JUDGE or PROBATE. . John S. Seymour, Esq., has received the democratic nomination for Judge of Probate, for the district of Norwalk. Mr. S. is a young lawyer of promise, “a gentleman and a scholar," and in personal attributes far bet- ter than his party. Indeed it is one of the enigmas of politics how a man of Mr. Sey- mour’s gentlemanly'instincts, high scholarly attainmentsrand conceded intellectual abili- ty can affiliate with the bascr elements which constitute modern democracy. He ought, and probably does, know better, but being honestly a free trader in principle, he is of necessity forced into the democratic party for there is no where else for him to go. He has but recently come among us and conse— quently is unfamiliar with persons whose estates and property interests are likely to be acted upon in the Probate Court. Neverthe- less he would, if it were possible for him to be elected, prove a conscientious, indus— trious, and painstaking ofl'lcial, but as he stands not the ghost of a chance of success, his acknowledged abilities and high personal character all go for naught in the contest and will not indeed command his own full party vote. “Tis pity, but ’tis true." _ Lots of “Mules.” It is perfectly well understood that large amounts of money have been sent here to be used at Norwalk and South Norwalk by the Democrats. Large sums have been sent here- tofore, but probably never in such profusion as now. Mr. Barnum and Mr. English must both have opened their barrels wide to thus glut this Congressional District. New “al— moners” have been selected to dispense this corruption fund, but we presume it will be mainly left around among the gin mills, and all the poor dupes who are expected to do the Democratic voting will get,will doubtless be the old three cent drink and two cent cigar. Theft-unit and file of the Democracy are fools'giiithey donitdemand. a fair and honestdi‘v'y of this m‘OI‘iEy sent here for them. ————-H_--.—-_— , Don’t fail to so early neirt I‘d—outlay» night to hear ex-Gov.

Next Thursday night the Republicans of old Norwalk will extend their greeting to all the Republican clubs of the adjoining towns. Our citizens generally are expected to illuminate and decorate their residences and furnish a suitable collation to our visi- tors. All out of town friends will receive a cordial welcome. The following is the list of ofiicers of the evening, accompanied by the line of march in detail: OFFICERS. Marshal—F. St. John Lockwodd. Assistant Marshals—Gen. R. B..Craufurd, W. J. Gunning, Rev. Joe A. Hamilton, A. B. Wobdward, Dr. E. C. Clark, Apdrew Selleck, Aid in Chief—Capt. Addison A Bette. Assistants—Wm. II. Earle, Buckingham Lockwood, Harry Hungerford, LeGraud C. Betts, Wm. E. Quintard, I. A. “Meeker, Goold Hoyt. The first division will form on West Ave— nue right resting on Beatty street. The second division in Beatty street the right resting on West Avenue. The third division in Merwin street right resting on West avenue. LINE OF marten. From point of formation up West Avenue to Mott, countermarch to Elm street, Elm to Franklin Avenue, to Belden Avenue, to Wall, to Main, to West Main, to Catharine. to head of Main, to Union Avenue, to Camp street, to North Avenue, to the “Green,” East Avenue to Wm. H. Earle’s residence, countermarch to Wall street to Mott Avenue and Union Park for refreshments.’ Invitations have been extended to all the uniformed companies in Fail-field County, which have already been very generally ac- cepted. Bridgeport .will send her famous “Molly Pitcher" club, Stamford will send her two companies, New Canaan two, South Norwalk all her companies of Boys in Blue, Cavalry, Batteries, &c., Georgetown promn ises 125 men, Ridgefield her full force, Da— ricn 70, and Danbury, Bethel and Westport are to be heard from. 'It is confidently ex- pected that there will be from 1,500 to 2,000 men in line. _ As no men are hired, and this is the last week when parades are being held every night, we can reasonably expect no more. If the night is pleasant old Norwalk will see the grandest parade and illumination in her history. There are many houses in Norwalk not on the line of march which would show off well from the main streets. We hope to see all such illuminated Thursday night. All companies will report to Captain A. A. Betts, at the corner of Beatty street and West Avenue. at 7% o’clock, p. m. sharp or immediately upon arrival. The Bigelow Battalion have engaged the Howe Band of Bridgeport, to head the line. Ladies, Take Notice. The committee on refreshments for the en- tertainment of visiting clubs of Boys in Blue Thursday night, request the. ladies of Nor- walk to send to the house of Committeeman E. 0. Keeler, Mott Place, all such cake, sandwiches, &.c., as their good and generous hearts prompt them to contribute. This no- tice is given in lieu of detailed personal so- licitation, and we trust the, proverbial hospi— tality of Norwalk will need no- further prompting. Republican Caucus. The Republicans of the Town of Norwalk are requested to assemble at the OPERA HOUSE, Saturday Evening, October 30th, at 8 o‘clock, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Representatives to the next General Assembly, and the transaction of any other business deemed advisable. Per order, G. N. ELLS, Rep. Town Com. Norwalk, Oct. 25th, 1880. O The Democratic papers of this District, seconded by the Hon. James H. Olmstead, are busily circulating the silly statement, on the pretended authority of several Catholic priests, that Congressman Miles has sent out an agent to buy up Priests and all voters in their Parishes. They say the agent openly offers $500 to each church and $25 in addi— tion to each man, to vote for Miles. A man of Mr. Olmstead‘s intelligence and standing ought to be above such petty business. Mr. Miles brands the statement as a lie, in the following brief letter which covers the whole ground: A Denial. The following telegram has been received from Hon. Frederick Miles: - CIIAPINVILLE Oct. 23d, 1880. The report that I have sent any agent, or authorized anyone to offer anything, either to build Churches, or offer money for votes, is false and a base lie. I have 'never said -a word to any person from which such an in- ference could be drawn. , FREDERICK MILES. To Hon. D. P.NICIIOLS,Dlll'lbul‘y, Conn. _._..___—- Reading Ridge. Hon. F. A. Palmer, will address the citi— zens of Redding Ridge. Thursday evening, Oct. 28th, at W/ziteltead‘s Hall. ‘lIr. Palmer is one of the most eloquent and earnest men on the Republican slump this fall. He is a son of Connecticut, was a Union Soldier, and in good faith after the war closed. settled in South Carolina but was driven out, because he dared to be a Republican. Nothing more, and nothing less. He will hold, delightmnd edify any audience. ' Death of Rev. Dr. Plumluer. Rev. Wm. Swan Plumer, D. D., L. L. D., recently of Columbia, S. C , died Friday morning at ten minutes past three o'clock, at tbe‘Union Protestant Infirmary in Baltimore of an affection of the bladder. Dr. Plumer, who was one of the most distinguished cler- gymen in the Presbyterian church, was born in Beaver county, Pa, July 26, 1802. His ancestors were among the first settlers of Newburyport, Mass. Congressman Frye’s speech at South Nor— walk, last week, was the most convincing ar- gument yet listened to by our people. There was much disappointment vat his not being assigned up—town for which point he had previously been engaged, and where he would have had a far larger number of dem- ocratic listeners. But our city friends are to be congratulated on having secured, by far, the best speech in all respects, of any yet de- livered in Norwalk. The New York Sun of March 20th. 1880, charges that the organization humorously called “Watterson‘s Pet Lambs” that were bonajide political organization extending all over the United States ahd that its name was “The Union Veteran Reform Association” and that its purposes were seriously to force Tilden into the Presidential chair and that Gen. Wm. B. Franklin and Darius N. Couch of Connecticut were members, among many other army officers. Be on Time. Our citizens should be promptly at the Op- era House, at 1 o'clock, next Saturday after- noon, if they would secure comfortable sit- tings at the grand Republican rally. to be addressed by the man whom Wade Hampton wants to shoot, because he dares to speak his honest sentiments. Secretary Shefman will draw a. crowd of listeners irrespective of party. _________ The First Baptist church have called'a council to consist of delegates from all the Baptist churches in this county, and the let Baptist church of Hartford, to meet with them Wednesday, Nov. 3d, at 11 a. m., to examine Mr. H.

Reported Expressly for the Guarani. Sound the hewgag, wake the tomjobn, That a waiting world may know. Of all the critters our earth upon, Norwalk’s got the biggest show. . “Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make [very] mad." My brother Seymour will render this back into the classic tongue of Virgil on request. But was. ever proverb more true ? REX last week attempted to show the world that the Norwalk Democracy could beat any “greatest show on earth,” and so had all our principal animals duly caged and labeled. Even the Democratic party‘s great Mastodon, their numerous Ele— phants, their Unicorns, and especially their Behemoth, were brought in out of the storm and eligibly placed under the canvass. It is true we did not cage the entire collection for that would have made the procession too long, and lots of the smaller varmints got away and hid in their holes, but Rex flutters himself that of all leading specimens, be exhibited, as so poetically promised— "A great variety.” There were beside the enormous feeders outside the. Cages named, the spotted Hyena, a snapping, biting, surly brute; then the Egyptian Porcupine or Hedge IIng,a splight- ly fellow till'you come to tmch him, then look out for his ugly quills; there was the Chimpanzee, or great American Orang Outang, a real ring—tailed roarer; then the great Bore Conslrictor, a writhing, snake in the grass sort of a critter; and the Poll Par- rot. which decended from Charles the First or Moses, and learned its talk about the Horse Railway Depot, 8 unique bird though it will sometimes foul its own nest, but it can’t talk anything but what it has heard some one else say, and as it helps out the col- lection We gave the squawking thing a cage ; then there was the Catamount, a vicious. treacherous brute f a fine specimen of the Polecat,a mighty amusing critter just as long as you can please him, but when you don’t well, then, have a care; of boots and bears of course there was a great variety; of weasels and long tailed rats, not a few; the performing Ape we knew would draw and the dapper Monkey was just irresistible, as the great showman. A. Whrd, would say— “a most amoozin little critter.” How he did make the people laugh at his antics, while the rest of the animals stood with faces long enough to eat their oats from our old fash— ioned dasher churn. There were in the col— lection all the “leaders" of the herbiverous, gramniverous and carnivorous species. And my, what appetites! There was no appeasing their voraciousness. The more fodder they got the more they howled for increased ra tions. You never saw sucha hungry set. Their appetites would ruin any showman who attempted to satisfy them. When the crowd pressed around their cages last week and laughed and began to poke fun at the animals, they yelped, and snapped and growled— “Till offended atsuch an unusual salute They all turned their backs and stood sulky and mute.” _ But our Acrobats and Bareback Riders! They are all just the cheese. Such grand and lofty tumbling you never saw to any show ! They’ll turn a back hand-spring quicker than one forward. Then our riders, they just beat the world. They’ll ride ten horses abreast at the mute time, and what is more wonderful, two going in opposite directions. When they fall they always land on their feet' and have never been known to miss a meal. They’ll take all their pay in rations, but dear me, what insatiate appetites; if anything they’re worse’n the other animals. It would take the whole U. S. government to satisfy their cravings. There is a hanger—on about our show who gives us a deal of trouble. He wants to do all the grooming, and to set the riders on their horses. He too, is an outra- geous feeder. We’ve thrown him all the slops and offal that comes from the Show, which he greedily devours, and the performs ers are continually slipping money into his covclous maw, but it never satisfies. He's worse than Solomon’s horse-leech. We get discouraged, and then mad, feedingthe beast and then he’ll bite some of your heels and we commence throwing him bones again, ’till he’s got so now that he‘ll either run or step on us and mash us, most probably the latter, and so REX will no doubt have to go out of the show business, and after November 2d, his entire collection of rare and unique ani- mals will be for sale. ‘ RE‘x last week you know, warned you of the grand finale parade, that Capt. Ferd. was getting up as a stunner for Norwalk. Well, the thing is to he did, and Friday night next is the time settled upon. Then look out for the “hollow diamond square.” Did you ever know such an unfortunate party? Friday was the only day the Silk Stockings could get out of town clubs over here to parade and as these are almost entirely composed of Foreign Legions the Captain has been put to his wits ends lo know how to' feed the men. It being Friday, Morison’s sapdwiches can't be used and a substitute must be concocted. In an hour there was a corner on herring and codfish. Codfish balls were agreed upon late Saturday night, but Doc. Brush said they’d make the boys drink so like satan that. it would ruin the club paying for lager. are. told the doctor then proposed hard boiled eggs as a substitute, and said if they got the eggs fresh there was no bad smell about ’em, while codfish-balls always made him think there was something dead in ’em, so all in high feather voted for hard boiled eggs for the parade. As soon as this news got spread around about the outskirts, “Out ran the dames with kerchief‘s tied over their caps, , To see it their poultry were safe from mishap; The turkeys they gobbled, the geese screamed aloud, And the hens crept to roost in a terrified crowd.” Some one proposed a lunch of crackers,but a Silk Stocking said, “No more dry crackers in mine, I had all of them I shall ever want over at New Haven. They marched‘us all over God's creation there and then gave us nothing but old dry crackers and lager. No more crackers, not even of Postmaster Hon— necker’s best make.” . And by the way, did you hear about that grand New Haven parade in honor of (to be) Gov. English. Well, Morison nobly gave the Union Band fifty dollars to head the'Silk Stockings and Foreign Legion, for that pa— rade. As the last Democrat truly reports:— “At 6 p. m.,all was hurry and bustle at the various club rooms. At those of the Pha— laux,_President Smith and Dr. Brush were busy seeing to the boys, and at about half past six the boys flied out: of their rooms,ful- ly equipped for their triumphal reception at New Haven. Headed by the Union band the march was taken for South Norwalk, where a special train was waiting for them." “Oh, ye gods and little fishes l” That “special train." Did you see it ? It was composed of platform and cattle cars with rough board seats built around and across them and run on freight schedule time. Poor Capt. Ferd. how I pitied him, but we anticipate, let us quote further from the - Democrat: “After the line had been formed, on Wednesday night, by the Hancock Phalanx, Mr. Honnecker stepped to the front and in the name of the lady friends of the Phalanx, presented them with a magnificent silk flag. Mr. Honnecker’s speech. in presenting the flag, was loudly applauded by the members. Capt. Ferd. Smith, 'in a few well chosen words, returned thanks for the beautiful present. Miss Honnecker then presented Capt. Smith with a magnificent boquet of flowers." — _ . Well, it was pitiful to see poor Capt. Ferd. in that cold, open car,rhis teeth chattering, ' and his lips as blue as a berry, holding on to that boquet till his 'arm was paralyzed! But the Capt. was resolved to do or die, and he did nearly die, with chills, as the gravel train halted in the .cold wind at Westporl, and at Bridgeport was detained nearly an hour, and the slowest time on record made to New Haven. Even this could have been borne, but every now and then some poor torch bearer, as the no—spring cars jostled from side to side jumped up and howled with pain swearing there wasa wasp under his seat, when it was nothing but the slivers on the unplaned board seats. Jolly Doc. Brush kept himself warm using his tweezers, but Wet . in spitelof his surgery, it is reported, that mor’n a score had to take breakfast next morning off the mantel—piece. Had a cup of hot coffee, or apple—jack been ready for the boys when they reached New Haven, the icicle which ran down their spines might havelbeen thawed outybut no, afteran out- rageously "long march all over the magnifi— cent distances of 5Elm.city, the poor,'tired, hungry souls were put off with a few beggar. ly dry crackers and drinks of congestive-chill lager. No wonder a few of our boys got. mixed up with the mixed-up New Canaan club and brought up at Meriden in their ef- forts to reach home. That our Silk Stockings made a sensation is ccrtain‘, for the Democrat copies the fol lowing from a New Haven paper, spelling Hancock rather strongly it is true, but no doubt the case required it: “Among the companies in line, that was applauded along the march, and that all the spectators were talking about,was the Hand. cock Phalanx of Norwalk, onehundred men strong, who executed frequently, the dia- mond movement, to thedclight of all the ob- servers. Their uniform attracted much at— tention as well as a handsome and accurate portrait 'of Gen. Hancock." Look sharp for Capt. Ferd’s "diamond movement” next Friday night. While our boys on the line of march were thus suffering for Gen. Hancock and Gov. English. President of the club Asa Smith, Morison and John Wheeler of Saugatuck, were swelling their fat sides at the Tontine, where Judge Birdsall was entertaiuing in a Democratic way, Gens. Baldy Smith, Frank- lln and McMahon. At the close of the Ton- tine festivities the Judge seems to have shed his Norwalk and Westport visitors and escorted the heroes of the late unpleasantness to a six—horse barouche to jolnin the braces- sion. We know he did for deesn’t the Democrat say: - “The Hancock Vet ran Legion, headed by the Moodns Drum C fps, of world-wide ce- lebrity, had the right of the line, and acted as escort of Gena. ‘Baldy’ Smith. Franklin, McMahon and Birdsall, a committee of the National Veteran Legion, in an open landau, drawn by four horses, who were supported on the left by- the Meriden Veterans. They received a perfect ovation upon the entire line of march, ladies'v’vaving their handker— chiefs and miniature flags, in honor of their distinguished visitors, whose natural gallant— ry kept them busy bowing their recognition to the fair ladies of New Haven." Rumor has it that Wheeler could not stand such conspicuous honoring of this Mordecai in his Westport gem—Judge Birdsall, and so left the city in disgust. When Wheeler reached Saugatuck he was about as dis- gruntled as good old Senator Eaton was when he made his last Westport speech, and said, in the heat of debate, that “our nation a white man was almost as good as anigger," and on turning around was appalled to see our four Norwalk colored singers on the stage beside him 1 Every time he thought of that dreadful, Democratic Birdsall riding with old Baldy Smith, and he, Wheeler, President of the Fairfield County Agriculfu- ral Society, and heretofore “leader" of the Westport Democracy, left behind to sulk it out, made him as disgusted as Nate Bradley was when a Democrat showed him the four colored men aforesaid on the Westport platform behind Eaton. Poor Nate couldn’t believe his own eyes, and began to fear he had got ’em or was “getting ’cm again." “My God," says Nate, “ and has the Democratic party of Westport got so low that it lets niggers on the stage of one of its public meetings? I’m doae now. By the dem- nition bow wows,I can't and wont stand this! I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. Its no use, I am sick and disgusted and throw up the sponge. Our party has gone up and I’m done. N ig— gers up on the stage! Ugh, horrors l” Vexations and misfortunes seem to beset our Democratic friends on every hand. They returned from their cold and cheerless, their shivering and freezing parade at New Haven on the “special train" to find even the elements against them. Friday’s gale,—and the wind from the South at that—tore down their Hancock banner and let it drop for about the seventh time, since it was first so gaily unfurled. Then Ike Lee’s-piece of hunting —-his stars and stripes, which was so heavily Weighted with the muslin rug with Hancock and English thereon, was torn to shreds in the same gale and carried to the ground by the unworthy association. _ fThe torn and-rent netting banner, with the face of Hancock and English all besmeared with mm, is now hid away in the Horse Railway depot. garret as dejected, dishonored and‘useless as an empty beer bottle, wlfile the smaller stars and stripes across Main street from the Conn. Hotel has shared the same fate as its rival~across from Ike Lee’s, leaving the democracy as fiagless as hopeless, while “Old Glory,” Garfield and Arthur, across from the GAZETTE BUILDING, proudly rode out the storm, as it will next Tuesday, and float and flaunt VICTORY, VICTORY, for its candidates and cause. During all our opponents’ long night of dismay, nothing has transpired to cheer them and relieve their misery save the single boquet presentation to Captain Ferd; the fact that Boss Hyatt has been deposed as- gencral campaign fund dispencer, Morison made almoncr of Barnum’s “Mules,” and the break down of Brad Keith‘s coach on return-. ing from the Grant parade at Stamford, REx's motto is, "be just and fear not though the Heavens fall-” That Keith broke down 'is certain, for does not‘the last Democrat say :— “Oh, no! Craw, Keith, Carpenter and Lester Hyatt did not swear when they had to foot it home from Darien on Friday morn— ing. Well, boys, when you golo Republican processions do not stop to get a drink and . you will be spared the fatigue of walking home.” Now, of all the tormentors who most cruelly tortured that solemn and glum demo- cratic conclave at the depot, the night the Indiana returns came in, Brad Keith was the most merciless, and he is fair game for them in their desperate needs of something reviving to their depressed spirits. The simple fact, of a wheel coming off, of hue of Gregory’s hacks, and the “walk over” of the boys from Daricn, is a little incident, but the drowning democracy arenow clutching at straws and must be indulged another week. The “walk over” Brad and his political friendsvwill have nexsrTuesday night, will cause the democracy to extinguish their lights very early and go home, without even the doleful psalm singing indulged in at their late convocation at the depot to hear the returns. - REX.

Under advice of Norwalk physicians its parents took it to a New York surgeon, who, on examination, said an operation would have to be performed to remove the obstruction, and there was but about one chance in a thousand that the child would live through it. He advised that they return home and think over the matter for a couple of days and then return if resolved upon the operation. As it seemed inevitable that the child would die if it were not removed, the distressed parents had concluded to return and venture the hazardous operation, when in a fit of casual coughing the child threw up the offending irritant and was as well as ever within a few minutes. . _ N orwalk Band.
