Norwalk’s Great Majority.

Old Norwalk can proudly claim herself
t ) be the Banner town of Fairfield County if
not of the Smit‘, Our majority lacks but
twenty—four of being three times as great as
that. given for llzryes. The figures are Hayes,
iii}; Garfield, 31 5. It didn’t pay to crawl

Victory Grmrdly 'Won.

Lioneral Grunt most aptly says “the Re
p ll:ii‘.lill.l party has won because it had the
r:g.. to win. We had earned succcess, we
bid earned it try what we had done in.tte
put for the. country, and what a party has
«l he is good earnest of what it can and will
do for the country." That tells the Whole
story. No campaign within the memory of
tho present generation had been made so dis-
graceful in personal deli-action and fraud as
this has been been by the mad democracy.
All the Republicans battled for in the cam—
paigu was the equal rights of .man.E The
right of every citizen to think, to speak and
t) cute as he wished and-have his vote honest-
l y counted, and that without prejudice to his
business or social standing. The mainte—
nance of a public credit and of a sound cur-
rency was a cardinal principle of the Re-
publican party. 'It advocated the protection
of American industries to the end that mas-

 

ter and man might be r‘emunerstively paid. j

I But none of these issues were of a sectional

character. These principles are as wide as
the nation’s domain, as high as the stars and
as immutable in their beneficent relations
to every citizen as God’s own laws. Such
then were the issues upon“ which we fought
and have won a victory second only to Ap-
pomattox. A

The vilc’assaults made upon us and our
leaders resulted only' in disgusting decent
Democrats and firing the hearts of lukewarm
Republicans with resolute purposes to put
down and vote down so indecent and out—
rageous partizan assaults. For, way down
deep in the! heart? of every decent American
citizen there lies the bed-rock love of “fair

. play” and: this sentiment has been aroused
and quickencrl as in no other campaign, and
by this sign, also, have we won our glorious
victory.

No man on our side, need now feel that he
has been guilty of an act meantr than issuing
or circulating forged letters of credit or even
counterfeit notcs. When the canvass opened

. Republican papers and orators appealed to
the intelligent Understanding of the people.
No word of abuse was heaped upon our 0p-
pcsing candidate. While on the other '. side.
libcls and forgeries and the indecent use of,
stolen dispatches have made this the most
filthy and mendaeious canvass the Democra—
cy ever waged, and verily they have their
reward. Let us hope this crushing defeat
may at least teach every Democrat that
common decency, like honesty, is the best
policy, and that every Republican may
honestly congratulate himself that he is no
less a gentleman than when he first'took part
in the campaign, which again emphasises the
truths uttertd by our great leader that—
"The war for the Union was right—ever-
lastingly Egon, The war against the Union
was wrong—forever wrong.”

 

Our Next Sneaker.

Who would make a better, or who more
deserving the honor, than Hon. John H.
Ferry, who carried the Democratic town of

' Fairfieldlast week.

 

Wrecked.

Tue steamer Rhode Island went on to the
rocks near Narraganset Pier,Friday morning,
in the dense fog. The passengers were all
saved, but the cargo and vessel will prove a
ruinous loss. , A light on Whale Rock would
have prevented the disaster. The Senate has
three times passed an act for a light at this
point, but it has failed in the House.

 

Wanted.

Last Thursday,Friday and Saturday nights
thoroughly proved the great. need of either a
fog-horn or steam whistle signal to be placed
at our Light House to warn vessels groping
about the harbor or outer Sound of their
dangerous proximity to the rocks and shoals
of our intricate and dangerous shore. A
petition forwarded Representative Miles this
winter would no doubt ensure this greatly
needed safeguard to our coastwise marine,

 

The Hon. Marshall Jewell would like to
represent Connecticut in the United States
Senate. but there is an obstacle in the way.
The obstacle answers to the name of Joe
Haw]ey.—N. 1". Sim.

Both of tlrcabovc gentlemen have done
gallant service in the campaign and deserve
well of their party. The ambition to be an.
United States Senator is one honorable to
Republican worthy and capable of filling
., position, and we presume there will be
many others in different parts of the state
whose claims will be pressed by admiring
hands, in due season. But let the contestbe
cordially good natured, high and noble.

Honor to whOm Honor, &c.

In the campaign just closed there are many
to whom special honor should be accorded
as special credit is due for exhaustive and
effective service- Where all did so well, it
may be invidious to particularize any by
name, yet with a special desire to do no in-
justice, we know we but express the prevail-
ing sentiments of every Republican when
W9 express our obligation to nearly every
member of our local clergy for their good
words and works in aid of our cause. To
Rev. Wm. H. Thomas especially are our
thanks due, whoVat personal invonvcnience
and his own pecuniary cost, came to our aid
from Mamaroneck and delighted our people
by concluding our Saturday afternoon meet—
ing so happily, after Secretary Sherman was
forced to leave us for NewVI-Iaven.

To Dr. F. A. Palmer in an especial sense
are the Republicans of this section of the
Sarto deeply indebted He held himself
cinstanrly in readiness to speak anywhere a
meeting was desired, or to fill any delin-
‘quent‘s place who had for any cause failed in
keeping his appointments.

Congressman Frye, of Maine, made a
special clIort to accommodate the earnest
wishes of our people to listen to him and has
our heartiest thanks.

Young Attorney Woodbury also, was at
all times ready to run here, there and any—
where t ) help our cause. His addresses were
pointed, practical and useful. He deserves
well of his party and has earned the thanks
of all who now rejoice in our grand success.

President Watrous, of the Consolidated
Road, who accompanied Senator Platt, made
a short but most convincing argument and is
gratefully remembered by the Republicans of
Norwalk.

Judge J. E. Woodbridge, of Vermont, and
Asst. Dist. Attorney Fiero, of New York,
closed the campaign'here and filled the hearts
of our earnest workers with delight and
gratitude. -

The Bigelow Battalion did heroic service
'vcleetlon day as they did throughout theicam-
paign, and nobly squelched the Democratic
lie that they were composed mostly of boys,
by marching to the polls at 7 a. m., Tuesday,
and depositing eighty-four solid votes for all
of our candidates. '

The Garfield Guards also did most worthy
service and cast twenty—six votes out of a
possible twenty—eight, although numbers of
the poor fellows wereofiered and every man
of them knew he could get a ten dollar note
for his vote.-

Benjamin Barraclaugh spent a whole . day
chasing about New York and Brooklyn to
secure a speaker for us after the one regular-
ly engaged had given notice that it was im—
possible for him to appear. ..

As not a dollar was furnished us by our
State Committee for election expenses, which
owing to numerous meetings and Wide
Awake parades were unprecedentedly large,
our own citizens contributed with unprece-
dented liberality. Mr. William H. Earle,
Col. F. St. John Lockwood, W. J. Gunning,
H. J. Chapin, and scores of others we might
name, not only contributed most liberally to
the cash expenses of the campaign, but gave
what was quite as essential, their influence
and best efforts towards the great result of
315 majority. 5-

Then our working committees, to whom
the details of the canvass were entrusted,
who frequently from dark till next dawn la-
bored over their lists of. voters and plans of
effective election work,and then, better still,
saw these plans carried out on election
day. No words we could utter would
be too extravagant praise. The grand result
of their untiring efforts is recorded in our un-
precedented 315 majority. And then
last, but not least, the “Old Guard” by their
example, their weight of years and character,
gave strength and encouragement to our
younger and less determined voters. Any
party may well feel proud of its member-
ship, that enrolls the names of such veteran.
citizens and patriots as Wm. S. Lockwood,
Capt. J. W. Hubbell, Chas. F. Raymond,
Eli B. Bennett,—who for fiftytwo'gears has
been the candidate of all parties and has been
consecutively. our town treasurer—of Gould
D. Jennings, Stiles Curtis, Henry Kellogg,
James Benedict. and the like, who early vis—
ited the polls and cast their Republican
votes with a conscious conviction that it
might be their last good not for the land they

loved. All praise and gratitude to these aged

“fathers” who, despite the infirmities of their
great age, were neither too old or indifferent
to cast a vote for that pure statesman JAMES
A. GARFIELD.

 

 

“The Little Boy that Died.”

Seldom have the sympathies of this com-
munity been so tenderly outpoured as in the
sudden and peculiarly painful death of little
“CHARLEY” LAWRENCE, whose bright
spirit took its flight heavenward just as the
unusually radiant sun of last Wednesday
morning, broke, as in sad mockery,with§full
sum mcr cfi‘ulgence, over the dear boy’s
stricken home.

It was only Thursday week,*the little fel—
low was in our ofiice procuring colored pa-
pers with which to give expression to his
young but patriotic tastes, in the decoration
of the windows of his mother’s residence,
preparatory to the parade of the Boys in Blue
that evening. Well, happy and blithe as a
song-bird, he gaily chatted with us, with all a
bright boy’s cheerful enthusiasm, and yet
with that high—bred dignity of manner and
expression, which were his wont and which
made him the well recognized little gentle‘
man that he Was. The same evening he fol-
lowed the long line of march of the torch—
bearers, and on , returning home complained

_of pain and fatigue, but again Friday night

his boy’s curiosity led him to several distant
points, where be halted and stood to view
the long, democratic procession as they filed
by. The night was unusually damp and
chilly, and it is supposed he here took the
cold which in so few hours resulted fatally in
acute inflammation of the peritoneum. His
bright sunny face and winning smiles. were
as a benediction about the streets of our vil-
lage and instinctively won the hearts of even
casual passers—by. But, how much, oh, how
much more must have been his sweet smiles
and loving ways to widowed mother, sister
and brother, God and their own crushed and
bleeding hearts may ever know. -' *

Dear boy, thy span of life was brief, but
the memory of thy loveliness will be tender-
ly cherished long years after itbyfair‘ form
shall have mouldered beneath the lilies and
the violets. And though the grave eufolds
thy precious dust, thy gentle spirit has been
ushered into realms celestial, and thou who
wast so fondly loved here below, 'art now a

sweet harmonist in the choir of Heaven.
“Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither in the North Wind’s
breath,
And stars to set;
But thou, hast all seasons for thine own,
Oh, Death.”

Mrs. H. H. Elwell is rapidly nearing life’s
end. She is afflicted with cancerous decay
of stomach and bowel, and her intense suf—
ferings our only be a§suaged and her life
prolonged ny hyperdermic injections of

unable to retain either medicines or nourish-

most distressing one, and herself and family
have the kind sympathies ofour people.

 

 

No one who cast a vote on election day
could fail to notice the insulting and con-
tcmptlble scrutiny of Dr. Underwood, one

peered at every vote cast. * "‘ * * * *
When a man casts his ballot it should be an
act in accord with his conscientious convrc-
tions and known only to himself and his God.
No man of decency would do it, and we
trust that it will be the lasttime that the
citizens of our town will permit it to be
done—Democrat. ‘

The above is the severest attack upon the
conduct of pm Mr. Honnecker while presi-
ding at the ballot box, Tuesday, that we have
yet seen. Democrats as well asRepublicans
called our attention to his opening every
rfolded representative ballot so its character

could be seen. He may not have intended:
jfany wrong, but the impertinence was none

 

listless noticeable.

of the Westport Registrars, who stood and.

The Vote of New York.

Many of our readers have expressed some
anxiety to know what are the vague claims
of the Democrats as to New York State.
They are somewhat as follows: First, that
the Republicans of New York City “colo—
nized” voters enough in that city to reduce
the Democratic majority there. Second,
that they made a corrupt bargain with John
Kelley, by whose. terms the latter was to
trade Hancock for Grace. Third, that
throughout the State they used a marked
ballot, contrary to the State laws. Fourth,
that the Democratic Congress will under
these circumstances, refuse to count the vote
of New York. Fifth, that this will reduce
Garfield's electoral vote from 210 to 175, and,

' this being less than a majority of the total

369 votes, that no one will be elected and
the choice must be made by the House of
Representatives. These, calmly and mode-
rately stated, are the claims set forth by
some. but not a large number, of the Demo—
cratic newspapers.

It is perfectly unnecessary for any one to
have the least anxiety on the subject. All
this is only the empty declamation which is
always allowed to the defeated party for two
or three weeks after election, as a sort of
plaster to cover the sore spots. Although
the Democrats have a majority in both
Houses, it would be impossible for any of
their leaders to marshal any large number of
their own Congressional votes in favor of
such a scheme. The country would not
stand it._ All parties aresatisfied with the
result, and the Democrats are resigned to it;
in fact, they “have to be.” Any Democratic
Representative who joins in any such scheme
would at once receive reminders from home
that his Democratic constituents want peace
and quiet ‘more than a party trick. It is a
Republican doctrine never to disturb busi—
ness, if it can be avoided, so that no trouble
need be apprehended from that side of the
house, and, in fact, all that our readers have
to do is to go ‘quietly on with their usual
business, help to make themselves and their
country richer and more comfortable, and
allow our sorer and angrier Democratic
friends a “fraud" feather bed to make their
trouble easier to bear. L

Even this desperate suggestion, however,
shows the absolute, the imperative necessity
of some immediate provision for a permanent
method 'of counting the electoral cote. - The
State of New York does its voting as it

ing done for it by the Congressmen of the
other 37 states. This was the doctrine on
which the Republican party in 1876 defend-
ed the rightfulness of the Republican vote in
Floridaand Louisana, and this was Demo—
cratic doctrine while the Democracy as yet
had political principles, In proof of which
reference need only be made to the proceed-
ings on the vote of Missouri in 1821, of
Michigan in 1873, and of Wisconsin in 1857.
Now some provision should be made toin—
corporate this doctrine with the organic law
of the country, either by an Amendment to
the Constitution, or by Act of Congress. It
is easy to settle the manner of voting for
electors, and the tribunal in each state which
shall settle disputes, and then to make the
decision of that tribunal permanently binding
upon Congress. Only in this way can ‘we
avoid Electoral Commissions and a suspen—
sion of business for a whole year. For four
years Democratic Congresses have been too
lazy er inefficient to settle this question.
Now that we are to have a Republican lower
House of Congress, the country will hold it
responsible for prompt action. “Let us have
peace." '

 

Owing to a slight democratic disagreement
in Tennessee, the Republicans of‘ that State
elected their candidate for Governor by a
plurality of from 15,000 to 20,000, and expect
to elect a United States Senator also. This
is the commencement of the “change” the'
South so much needs, and which is now in-
evitable. We shall never be faced by a “solid
South” again, and hereafter elections will not
be sectional.

Operator John Hoyt introduced his wires
into the Opera House election night, which
'the Republicans had hired for the occasion
and they were read from the stage as receiv-
ed. At ten o'clock the Bigelow Battalion,
organized, and procuring broom: and horns
paraded the streets and joining the south
N opwalk clubs “made Rome howl” for Tues-
day 'and again on Wednesday night. New
Canaan friends had horse expresses starting
every half hour to take news to the land
which flows with—Republican majorities.
All in all such a scene of tumultuous rejoic-
ing was never witnessed here before. At one
time there were full thirty Democrats in our
hall, although a placard was placed on the
door.of Lockwood‘s Hall, giving conspicu-
ous notice:—

3... ..................... . ..................... .

NONE BUT DEMOCRATS
WANTED IN HERE.

Certainly no Republican desired admis-
sion to their rendezvous, but on learning the
fact of their notice and remembering that
several prominent Democrats had obtruden
into‘ the Republican caucus Saturday night,
the following notice was at once put on the
door of our hall :—

' ............................... n ................. .

3 DEMOCRATS ;
:Arc cordially invited to come in ands
= REJOICE WITH US.‘ '

. ................................... .. ......... :

It was nearly daylight before the Opera
House meeting dispersed, while the Demo-
ocratic headquarters were deserted and dark
before midnight. There was, and has been,
no end of rejoicing over Norwalk’s good
day's work and our unprecedented majority
of 315. ’ '

‘ The Nation’s Majority.

The sum to‘tril of the majorities for Garfield
in Northern States, the National Committee
announces, will be 520,000. The sum total of
the Northern majorities for Hancock will
hardly reach 1,800. That is what the North.
thinks of the party which has made elections.
in the South a sham, in which the vote as
announced bears no relation to the vote as
cast. -

 

 

Blgelow BattdlionAttention !

“An American Girl.” .
Fanny Davenport, the American actress is
to appear at Music Hall, next Thursday night,
as Kate Vivian, in Anna E. Dickensou’s new
play, which has met with such good success
in New York. Miss Davenport as an actress
needs no commendation. The present play
is said to give her abundant opportunities for
the display of her elegant toilettes and bril-
liant diamonds, as well as her art.

 

Paying Bets.

About 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, a
martial bandwas heard marching up from
the city, and our people turned out to see
the new excitement. Soon a wheelbarrow,
decked with flags, bearing John McGraw and
propelled by young Gil. Bogert came into
view and passed on to the Horse Railway,
depot, followed by carriages and a crowd of

of the burden of wheeling his companion
back to the city.

Thursday night the quiet of the village
was again broken by the “boy drum corps.”
This time Ed. Riley wheeled Ed. Banks one
of his fellow clerks in VanHoosear 8: Am-
bler’s, down Wall street, through Chapel and
up Water to the startiny point where young
Riley pluckily proposed three cheers for his
candidates, and disappeared bearing a fine
bouquet from his lady admirers.

Later the same evening, Mr. Graulich, Gus
Franke’s right hand man, indulged in a
wheelbarrow ride from the Danbury depot
to the South Norwalk depot escorted by
torch bearers and heralded by melbdious
horns. Thus Cornelius Donnelly paid his
bet by the sweat of his brow.

 

That Jollification.

Of all the political celebrations or jollifi-
cations ever held in old Norwalk, that of
Wednesday night was the happiest as well as
the—noislest. Without waiting to make
elaborate preparations for a good time, the
boys put up notices for a final parade, with
a request to all Republicans to join in. Every
tin horn that couldgbe found or bought in
town was brought into requisition, and others-
were “specially constructed" to order, while
other devices for the making of noise were
brought to the front. The air was full of
“ozone,” and long before dark it was evident
that sleep would visit but few eyes that
night before the sma' hours. At 8 o'clock
the headquarters of the Bigclow Battalion
was the scene of the wildest merriment and
orderly preparation combined. The ranks
were full of torch bearers, while “fantastics”
heat about the edges ,in‘quaint dresses and
comical personations. Flags, banners,brooms
and horns were carried in line, while a mou-
strous rooster strutted about the finer, too
astonished to crow. Soon after8 o’clock the
command filed into the street in orderly pro-
cession, headed by the drum corps, making
a fine appearance. Roman candles "were set
'olf and the fun commenced. The march

 

I

"continued around Union Park and through

Arch street to West Avenue, where all the
city clubs were in waiting, and the march
was resumed up town.

This march will never be forgotten by our
people. The noise seemed to grow in vol-
ume constantly, and was incessant. ‘ “The
God of Unreason” ruled the hour, and yet
amidst all the fun and uproar theme was or-
der and perfect discipline By force of
habit the boys marched equally well wheth-
er by twos, fours, eights :br sixteens, and all
the time the incessant diu' grew louder and
louder. Officers gave orders and then ca-

It was hardly fair of you, Mr. Editor, to
suppress our last week's shot at the demor—
alized an—d flying Democracy. Of course REXV
has duly weighed your objections and the
claim you make that he has been giving
away to the enemy your most' valuable ad-
vertising space, and ingeniously advertising
all their trades and wares in the best possible
manner. But then' you should remember
the terms you made with Rex were that he
was to soften the angry austerities of a hotly
contested political cam paign, and to lighten
the gloom, as it were, with which our oppo-
nents, from the .very outset, seemed to be
oppressed. How faithfully Rex has con-
ducted his part of 7 the engagemen t must be
left for the readers of the old GAZETTE
to judge. Rex insists that his main purpose,
in the few observations he has had to sub
mit, was to cheer the members of that afflict-
ed party, to throw himself into their situa-
tion and divert their minds from the horrors
of their impending and crushing defeat.
This was his only motive in touching their
short-comings and trying to administer-put of
the same spoon as it were, the paregoric of
consolation, with the liver-touching and to-
ning tonic of practical wisdom and elevating
sentiment. This was why Rex, betimes,
sought to throw the glamour of poesy over
the their most common-place performances,
and now once again essays to cause the sun-
shine of sinilesto’burst through the present
tempest of Democraticjtegars. In the per-
formance of 'thilfduty Rex stagger-s under- the
weight of responpibility. To fairly give ‘a
faithful delineation of the performances of
the Democratic rGreat Moral Circus, brief

cautiously suppressed last week. There was
the great street parade of our menagerie, 'in-
cluding the vagabond animals 'that came
over from Bridgeport and escaped into our
streets and thwarted all attempts of our bor-
ough “pet-lice” to capture. Then there were
themucuses at- Westport, Bedding, New Ca~
naan, and at Lockwood’s Hall, to be stated
in review. And first the great parade. It
wars. stunner. The night was as dark and
heavy as were their own hearts; overcast,
indeed, in the sombre words of good old Dr.
Dwight :

“Tenubrions gloom obscured
The darksome night.”

The line was long, the smell of torches terri-
bly suggestive that the funeral cortege had
retained the corpse all too long. Whether it
was the burial of Cock Robin or Euclid “no
feller could find out,” yet when the proces-
sion turned from‘Wall to Main street, amid
the crash of Thompson’s window-panes and
the feeble wail of sympathizing mourners,
every poor Democrat felt that if the country
was not safe his hope of an ofilee was, and
that was of vastly grave: consequence,
while vain, scofilng Republicans felt, if they
'did not say—“Blessed are the dead who die
in the last ditch.” '
' Capt. Ferd had his Silk Stockings up as
taut as a full-rigged clipper, and he came
glidintz by, wfth top gallant and sky-sails
all set to catch the popular breeze. His step
was majestic and grand and that fatigue cap
which inspired such awe among the whole-
sale calico dealers .of John Kelly’s wicked
city, just made him look,- “superb.” Then
little rotund Doc. Brush, with face already
radient ,with expected victory; why, his
tread was like that of “an' army with ban—
ners.” Indeed his poor little feet were put
dowu'with such energy that all next day the
effect upon his corns and bunions and the
natural reaction of his labored copying of
the “New Gospel of Peace,” inserted in the
dubious Democrat, made life intolerable to
him. In vain did he try to assuage his pains
with stomachic hyperdermlcs. In vain did
he seek relief in Democratic Lethean pota-_
tions. When Rex was --called-to view-him
his headeas swizddleddn‘ a hot bran-mash,
both feet in a tub of hot mustard water. In
the sublime phrase of the poet—

:tEour doctors tackled Dr. Brush,

They blistered and they bled him;

With squills and anti-billions pills,

3 And lpecac rlheyJ'ed him.

They stirred him up with calomel,

And tried to move his liver;

But all invitin, his jolly soul,

, Was waited rip—Salt river.” A
Poor Doc. he looked more discouraged
than Barnum’s old mule in the Boys in
Blue procession the, night before, and when
he said his prayersthat night he promised if
the good Lord would let him get well, he
never, never, would jtbe at Brad. Keith
again, in the Democrat, and call him Rex, so
help him John Rodgers.

But the “Black Horse Cavalry” in that
procession, that was the daisey. Did you
twig our would~be Judge of the Orphan’s
Court? How he sat that sixteen hands Ro-
enante? Why, Don Quixoto's charge on
the windmill wasn’t a circumstance. There
“ majestic sweetness sat enthroned"—the
gleam of a thousandtorches but flashed back
from his spectacles the hot blood that was in
his eye. But somehow, by the way he
crouched and writhed upon the saddle it was
evident that a gnawing cancer of doubt was

even then gelling his fundamental hopes of

being elected. A toad'on a hot shdvel could
not ' have been a more touching picture
of misery. And the nervous, convul-
sive way he fished his honey steed with his
right hand, and then, ever and anon, agoniz-
ingly run the fingers of his left hand through.
his auburn hair, left no doubt in the observ-
er’s mind that either another “high (old) ora-
tion,” Ciceronian in tongue and’style, was
being prepared to again hurl at the Greeks
and Israelites smothering him, or else the
presentiment of his coming defeat was
eatingat his heart as savagely as his saddle-
trappings were lacerating the flesh beneath
his pants. ‘. ' ,

And next, Postmaster Honnecker! Well,
wasn’t he just “superb!” Mounted on his
angular two fifry~ nine, trotterl Ye gods,
what a picture, for Hogarth, was that, my
countrymen! But the Hancock postmaster’s

ficiency. It seems the night a member of
thefamily fixed up to present that “mixed
boquet” to Capt. Ferd, the old. back- hair
switch was cast aside.' That quickness of
thought which comes to great minds only in
the graves: emergencies, served friend Hon-
necker, and seizing_the discarded switch in
one hand and his pet of melted glue, in the
other,'he hastened to the barn and soon had
the " snaky elongation of his equine’s spine
most beautifully and adroitly concealed by a
wealth of finest and most luxuriant woman’s
hair. Was successful success ever more
triumphant overa most disheartening and
perplexing difiiculty 2 ’But las—

The glue was not of good, old father Peter

lus's tallies its rider plunged his spurs into

line losing it's way and getting mixed up at
the bend of Main street in an effort to find

remembered, was very dark, and the few
houses that did not shut off all their usual
lights were so few and far between that it»
only made the darkness all the more visible.

Another incident of the parade should here
be mentioned. 1n the interest of political
truth and righteousness, Bill Mitchell visited
his next door neighbors and tried to engage
their services to ride and pretend to workJn
a wagon to go in the procession. But John
Chinaman was obdurate. He blandly smiled
and said in brother Mitchell's of! ear,
“Chlnamans no likec Mellican Democrattee
mens. Him no washee he‘shirtee." So the
party had to plaster up the counterfeit
Ohinamcn to match the forged Chinese letter.
The next circus stand we made was our
exhibition at Lockwood’s Hall, Saturday
evening. It was stated our show was about
being beaten unless we put the little “Boss"
in as Representative man of the menagerlel
The Boss fought against the proposition as
against fate, for we 1 he knew the disposition
of the animals. .!3, rooster wouldn’t rfight
iuélgny such a battle, but by dint of hard, and
coérsive persuasion he finally accepted, but
told the managersof the menageric that he
couldn’t swim and some of the vcious brutes
had just as live drown him as not, and others
would step. on him purposely and crunch
him if they-got a chance. He had no faith
or confidence in’tbe unruly critters, and now
that the fodder was being doled out by other

canvass with him. But they said, over at
Westport the “Big Ingun” of the party had
accepted and hid scared the poor. honest
Irishaam,previously nominated ,off the track;
that up at New Canaan the Grand Mujgul
was at the front; at Wilton the. Great _ y

coon was conducting the.‘ canvass; that at
Bedding, “Long Tom," the great Sioux Chief
had put on his war paint and was atthe front
with his belt dangling full of scalps, and the

make the Democratic Canvass really and
truly “The Only Greatest Show on Earth."
So the little "Boss" accepted the post, for
the last L' rand exhibition and the result proved
his predictions true. '

The recollection of that last show. will
never be efiaced from the memory of a Nor-
walk democrat! How the animals broke
from their cages, rent the tent in twain and
trampled everything under their feet; the
running, the driving, the coaxing, the com-
pelling them to come back into the fold; are
not all these things among the doleful records
of that fatal election day exhibition? But

“Why do we mourn the party’s end, .
0r shake at our defeat,

’Tis but the work of a false friend
Our safety is in retreat.”

"They’ve buried our party, far out of sight,
The sod with their helmets turning,

By the red fires glare, and the rockets’ flight,
And the kereoscene torches burning,

Few and short were the prayers we said.
And we turned away disgusted,
As we thought of the snow loads of mud we’d
spread, '
And our “leaders’ ” barrels, “busted.”
“or SALT RIVER."

And now comes the saddest funeral rites
REX has yet had to celebrate. In his assum-
ed character of showman, he has endeavored
to treat all the animals well, for truly, be got
to a sort of liking for them. While it is
true, a few were revengeful, morose and
cross, by far the grerter porti m, were jolly,
good natured fellows. who gave and took a
playful gibe with equal apparent satisfaction,
and while Rex has given the more conspic-
uous a good natured poke in the rib, now
andthen, it was his studied purpose and care
not to leave any rankling wound behind. So,
to close up the exhibition season, and to end
his own career, REX thoughtfully secured
the best boat at his command, and had it
drawn along the dock, in the rear of the
Pottery, to embark those of the animals that
wern’t killed outright, or didn’t get away,
during the terrific November gale of last
Tuesday. She is staunch and copper-head
and copper bottom, and sheathed with
southeru‘ pine. Tire “mules” were too badly
used u’ for further service and we supply
their p aces with the. champing steeds ridden
in the late parade, by the expectant post-
mastér judge of probate and sutler Norman
Austin. Here is the outfit. How do you
'like it. Could more comely or appropriate
accommodations be devised for the long,
tWenty years' voyage :—

 

And a deal of trouble REX has had getting
the menagerie safely on board. Even Asa
and the little “Boss,” spiritless and defeated
as they were, didn’t take kindly to the con-
templated excursion, while Honnecker and
Seymour, tore around at a desperate rate,
before beccming resignedly docile. Port
Warden Smith'wanted to steer the craft, and
Light House-keeper, Sam. Johnson, declared
he’d never sail a rod away unless he could at
least, set the lanterns at night. Capt. Ferd
said he’d got all his good clothes on hand,
and he wanted to continue Captain of the
scow—and Doc. Brush declared that as he
didn’t feel well, he wanted "Our Bessie" to
go as chambermaid as she knew how to fix
the hop poultices and saleratus and mustard
water, for his aching head, heart and feet.
Wallace Dunn said as it was to be his last
he’d like to make-out and serve the ship's
papers, and Bill Mitchell, insisted on supply-
ing the craft with model market beef.

Others, who had been equally suffering
with “the itch for notoriety or office," were
glum, and sour, and ugly, and wouldn’t
speak, but slunk away in their designated
corners. As the Salt River craft cast ofi her
lines and started for her twenty years voyage
—half-good natured and half sorrowful
“good-byes” were shouted back to REX, by
Captain Ferd. Dr. Brush, Asa, and the
“Boss,” the disappointed Postmaster and
Probate Judge; while Ex-Mayor Daskam
with kerchief to his eyes, cried, “good bye,—
God bless you, REx,-—had 1 taken your ad-
vice, I wouldn’t now be sent ofi to starve for
twenty years more." Then swelled up a full
chorus of “farewells” growing fainter and
fainter, till craft, and crew, and sound, were
all lost, far away up Salt River, on. the
twenty year’s cruise. The last faint echo
that caught the listening ears of REX was :—
Farewell, obi a long farewell to all the bright
visitins of an office which but a short month ago
loomed up so brilliantly before us.

Farewell the judge of probate and the postofiIce,
Farewell the snug place in the senate and house
of representatives.

Farewell the place on English‘s stair.

Farewell the port and lighthouse places.
Farewell to sherifi' commissions.

Farewell trips to Governor English.

Farewell the tranquil mind ! farewell content 1
Farewell torches, troops and the big parades.
That make ambition virtue! O farewell 1
Farewell everything, and last,oh. forever, fare-
