Complicated.
The recent election has demonstrated the
necessity of having some particular “mark
ofidentificatiou” of candidature in the fu-
ture. In New York city a complication has
arisen which threatened the harmony of
the t‘unterrified." The democrats nominated
William H. Kennedy for coroner, but the
question arises “which is the Kennedy 1’” _
There are five William H. Kennedys in the
directory, and the Secretary of the Conven-
tion true to democratic instinct notified the
one who kept a liquor saloon, while the
William H. Kennedy, who is an undertaker,
insists that he is the man who was selected
by the convention, while the other three of
the same name are yet to be heard from. It
promises to be a pretty “ruction” and unless a
reform is at once instituted much trouble will
arise hereafter. The candidate of the future
must be described in some way and we pre-
dict a ballot reading thus :“For representa-
tive, Julius Jones. mole on left side of use ;”
or “Samuel Smith squint eyed." The mark»
must be diatinctioe, for it would not be of
any use to place a candidate on the demo-
cratic ticket and simply say, “has a gin blos-
som on his nose " as amark of identification.
In thabcase “confusion would be worse con-
founded," for the mark would fit so many of
them that there would be no telling “which
was the original one." Then again, if you
should identify a democratic candidate by
saying “a temperance msu,"—by the way, it
would be very distinction—the candidate
would be exposed to the same fate that our
friend, “Long Tom Sanford," met with, at
the hands of his friends. Altogether the sub-
ject is one that demands attention and will
bear a great 'deal of study.

The Blgelow Boys Still Ahead.
The crash to get the choicest sittings this
Monday morning was simply immense. At
least a hundred seats were sold within the
first five minutes, but as all the seats at the
Opera House are desirable, and not a single
one a poor location, our friends who have
not been able to secure their tickets thus
early, Will have still a goOd chance. Their
last year’s endeavor to please the public taste
for refined amusements was met by such
unmistakable evidences of pOpular favor and
abundant support, that the Battalion feel»
justified in making still greater efforts this
time in winning the publics’ approving favor.
If you want to enjoy an evening of pure,
unalloyed pleasure, and at the same time
encourage a most worthy and commendable
association of young gentlemen, you will not
fail to go and see " Our Boys ” as rendered
by;the Blgelows and their talented, amateur
lady friends, and do not fail to take with
you; besides your wife and family, all your
“ cousins, uncles and aunts.”

A rare treat is in store for “Our Brothers"
this evening, at the Lodge Rooms. Some
twenty-three members of Quinnipiac Lodge’

the reputation of presenting the new work
in the most’ perfect manner. They will
arrive during the afternoon, and Our Broth-
ers will see that they, are properly enters
tained. Butler Lodge has been invited, and
all Odd Fellows in regular standing will be
welcomed.

Neptune Reunion.
An unusuallyJargejnumber of old soils have

Club, at the City Hotel, South Norwalk,
Wednesday evening, including many from

for the return of all up-town members after
the exercises are concluded. ' ~

' meeting ‘wiil be omitted this week.

numerous Norwalk friends and admirers.
The subject of his Thanksgiving sermon will
be announced next Sunday.
Norwalk and South Norwalk
Steamboat Line.
We are permitted to say to our readers that
incl! probability a new and very fast boat
will be built the coming winter and of such
light draught of water that there will be no
pellbillty other getting stuck in the mud in
or about the harbor, but make her trips in
time to successfully compete with any line
that she may come in competition with:
A steamboat has been well supported by
Norwalk and its vicinity for along time, and
we see no reason why one should not contin-
ue to be supported, really there is no reason
for it if the right kind of a craft is given us,
one that the public can have confidence in.as
’ to safety, speed and reliability, one that can
go through the Sound in all kinds of weather
that steamboats of this class should go in.
We think with that kind of a boat, yes, are
confident it would be liberally supported by
our people both in passengers and freight.
The Propeller City of Norwalk will contin-
ue her trips as usual through the winter for
freight, stopping to and from New York at
South Norwalk to land and take in freight
which will be taken at the very lowest rates,
by application to either of the Norwalk agents
or Capt. F. Perkins, Pier 27, E. R., New
York city.

above the following]
K Omen on THE GAZETTE,
Nonwanx, Ct., Nov. 20th, 1882. i
A. S. HURLBUTT, Esq, President of the Dan-
bury and Norwalk Railroad .-
Daan Sm: The above paragraph, pub-
lished in last week’s Gaznr'rn, was based on
information obtained directly from you.
Will you kindly inform us in what respect,
if any, it varies from your statement to us.
Also, in what way it injuriously reflects upon
Mr. James W. Hyatt, who was neither
directly or indirectly alluded to by yourself,
or in our publication, of what seemed to us
to be merely a valuable item of news. Our
object in addressing to you these interroga-
tories, is frankly to atone in the fullest possi-
ble manner, for any injustice done Mr. Ilyatt.
or any one else, by the publication of your
statement. We need not, we think, any to
you, that no intentional injustice shall be
done any human being in these columns,
while under our control. Life is too short,
and its great interests too absorbing and
intense for us to nurse personal or political
resentments. Our columns are always freely
open to one and all who have, or fancy they
have, any cause to complain of anything
appearing in the Gazr'rra. Nor shall we
be provoked into any less honorable and man-
ly course by the puerile assaults of political
malign’ants, or by boorisb, purse-proud and
arrogant-insolence.
Yours, &c.,
A. H. Bantams.
OUR STATEMENT.
We sent the above letter by a special
messenger to Mr. Hurlbutt, with instructions
to return us his answer. Mr. Hurlbutt, as
was entirely natural, expressed his disincline-
tion at being brought into a newspaper .con-
troversy, and returned as his reply the fol-
lowing:
- “The statement that there is a floating
“ debt of over $100,000 is correct, it having
“been incurred in building the extension
“ from South. Norwalk to Wilson’s Point.
“ The bonds authorized by the Legislature
“ to cover this debt have not yet been mar-
“ keted.”
Our motives in sending this miss‘ive are
apparent enough, yet it is proper to state
that we felt that there had been enough
firing and retreating in the dark at our ex-
pense in reference to railroad matters, and
we had a special wish (which we may here-
after expiain,) not to in any way run our
spurs against the' tender sides of Mr. J. W.
Hyatt. We have no idea that President
Hurlbutt, in his casual talk with us, had any
purpose in mind of involving any-individual
in censure or odium, but the impression he
left on us was, that the nets syndicate had-
made large speculative purchases of the Dan-
bury stock without knowing of the existence
of this indebtedness which was falling due
in the shape of time notes in the banks.
Least of all, could he or we, have had the
remotest purpose of injuring the property
interests of a local corporation owned so
hugely by the warmest and most intimate
personal friends of both.
Upon interviewing VicevPresident Lock.
wood, who has had the personal supervision
of all the accounts connected with "the road,
(as Mr. Hurlbutt has not,) we are informed
that the reason why this large sum is owing
to the banks instead of being funded, is that
a question arose as to the bonds being legally
a first mortgage lien, as was designed they
should be. This question having bé‘en sub-
mitted to Hon. Simeon Baldwin, he gave it
as his 'opinion that further legislation was
needed to make them such, without a ques-
tion.‘ Mr. Lockwood also states as a fact,
what we are no less glad to record, that by
reason of Mr. Hyatt's apt financial sagacity,
the company was able to make these time
loans at so low a rate of interest that money
was saved by not disposing of the bonds.
The whole amouiit of this floating debt Mr.
Lockwood states to be $147,000, and covers
the cost of the Wilson’s Point extension, the
new locomotive and steel rails, and moneys
used in improving the main line of the road.
Mr. Lockwood further states that so great has
been the recent growth of their freight busi-
ness that their present facilities are totally;
inadequate to the demands upon them, and
twenty-five more freight care must be imme-
diately built or purchased, which must neces-
sarily still further increase this bank indebt.
edness, until such time as the Legislature
shall bails perfected their bonds and the
same, are sold, as they easily can be, at a
liberal premium. In fact, the entire issue
was eagerly accepted at 2; per cent. pre-
mium, and the chances are (despite this
“ windy flurry ” which long-nursed envy and
malice have so futilely sought to swell into a
tempest of indignation against the Gamma)
that even a higher premium will be offered
fer them. Careful aud~prudent men of finan-
cial sagacity believe the common stock of
this railroad to be now worth more than par,
and this floating debt, with its fully adequate
securities behind it, in no wise lessens that
substantial value.
The ANorwalk Gazette, which has been
Eiblished, time out of mind, by Messrs. A.
. Byington, J. B. and G. N. Elle, has taken
a new departure. The Ells Brothers retire
from the concern, while Mr. Byington
assumes sole control. The twenty-five years
that the retiring partners have given to the
paper have been persistent and steady years
of labor and application, and they have
earned a reputation of sterling worth. and
the paper has shown the impress of their
assiduity and ability, Of course the power
and pen of Mr Byington, the editor-in-chief,
from his experience and attainments as a
journalist, has been always apparent, and
commanded the attention and respect of the
newspaper world in which he moved. While
the good wishes of the patrons of the old
Gazette will follow the retiring brothers, the
continued connection of the old wheel-horse
with the paper will be a source of confident
hope in the journalism of the State. Our
sympathies are alive'with all that have been
identified with the paper, with the Gazette
itself, and now especially with the consoli-
dated form into which it has resolved itself,
for the present and future. The Gazette is
a power of a weekly, and we hail it with joy
and renewed respect for the man at the
wheel—Aahtabula (Ohio) Telegraph.
Our friends of the press generally have
been more than generous in the bestowai of
kind and flattering notices since the recent
change in the proprietorship of the old
Gaza'rrn. But it is with no lack of grati-
tude for, or appreciation of, the good wishes
of our friends nearer home, when we say
that the above “ notice " touches our heart a
little more deeply than any of the others.
The writer, Mr. JAMES REED, was the kind
friend who stood as upona platform of
raisin-boxes so that we could reach our
“case," and who taught -us to “ set " our
first line of type in the ofiice of the GAZETTE
more than forty years ago. Whatever of
business or professional success we may have
achieved in these lo'ng, intervening years, we
gratefully attribute as in great measure due
to our preceptor's thorough and faithful train-
ing of that impetuous and unskilled boy. May
the afternoon of Mr. Reed’s long and active
life be as warm and genial as we know his
good wishes for his protege to be sincere.
Capt. Charles Hazzard, a Norwalk boy,
which recently took the place of the Pegasus
on this route, while the latter was under-
going rcpairs. One night, at Wilson’s
Point, while making his rounds to see that
everything was all right before retiring, he
came upon a woman on the pier with three
children, who seemed to be in distress.
She finally made him understand that her
husband was overboard. The Captain at
once called the hands together, and a search
with lanterns resulted in the finding of a
body in the water. The man was fished out,
and was resuscitatcd with great difficulty.
The family, it is supposed, came up from
New York, on the steamer that evening.

Mr. Gibson’s Recitals.
The ,very 'delightful series of organ
recitals given by Prof. Gibson awakened a
new interest in that exceptionally fine organ
at the First Congregational Church which
was built by JOHNSON of Westfieid, in June,
1867. This grand instrument has 3 mam-
als, 27 pedal keys, and 43 draw stops,
controlling 28 registers. Numerous modifi-
cations havc been made in its original plan,
under the direction Of Mr. Gibson, and with
the efilcient co-operation of Mr. A. Stein,
now in charge of the Baltimore branch of
Wm. Hilborne L. Roosevelt’s organ factory.
(Mr. Stein will be long remembered in
Norwalk for his reconstruction of the organ
at St. Paul's church, some threefyears ago.)
It is therefore much more modern than its
art of organ building is striding along, an
instrument 15 years old is almost ancient.)
but it yet lacks many things to make it as
effective as it might be. The wind-works
are inadequate, making the tone unsteady,
and the pedal organ is too weak, and lacks
definition. It was Mr. Gibson’s hope that
the present series of recitals might result in
enough profit to enable him to make some
of these much needed improvements, but
the prospect is not encouraging, as the ex-
penses are large, and the attendance is small.
Why should this not be considered a good
object for a donation by some well-to do
music lover ?

NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 1 2.
The Election a Genuine Republi-
can Victory.
Throughout the country the independent,
fair-minded Republicans, would not bow
down to “ Stalwartism." That mania
was blown away by the assassin’s pistol and
we,have written “ vindicated” over the grave
of the martyred Garfield. Had Tuesday’s
result beenkotherwise, and that inscription
been “ served you right"—tbe continued
success‘of the party would have been a
calamity. Now let the party march on to
victory, remembering that justice and honor
though tardy, have finally administered the
needed rebuke. Bannaononen.
Washington Items.
Mrs. J. Donald Cameron nee Miss Sher-
man, has returned to Washington with health
entirely restored after the illness that recent-
ly’threatened her life.
The sop some of the Republican members
of Congress threw to California does not
. seem to have appeased the , anti-Chinese
feeling there. The State elected aDemo—
cratic Governor by a large majority and
chose a solid Democratic delegation to the
House of Representatives. The Republicans
could not have fared worse if. the ten years’
restriction bill had been defeated.

“ In the hour of triumph, I beg you to for—
get the personalities and absurdities of the
campaign, now so happily ended. We can
to-night afford to do nothing less, for they
are not worthy of a victory who cannot be
magnanimous. Let the tidal wave wash
away out of sight and out of mind all the
parts and portions of the wrecks of the cam-
paign that are unsightly to look upon. or un-
pleasant to think of. The victory of today
is not a mere party victory. It was not won
by mere party. It is a victory that means
something;besldes the elevation of men to
positions of honor. It means that the nomi-
nations shall be made hereafter by the peo-
ple, that elections shall be conducted hereaf-
ter with more courtcsies, and that the ballot
box shall not be as approachable to the cor-
,ruptionist or intimidator. Your victory mean
more. thank God. It means that the boy
before me, into whose bright eyes I am now
looking, when he comes to manhood, if he
has the ambition and has friends and the
ability, can be elected ,if he has not a dollar,
to the office of governor, by the unbought
and uncorrupted ballots of the voters.—

The following is from the Adjutant-Gen-
eral’s orders concerning exemption from
military duty and tax:
All persons between eighteen and forty-
five years, desiring exemption from military
duty and commutation tax, by reason of
mental or physical disability, must report to
one‘of the post surgeons for examination,
and if found exempt will be furnished with
a certificate of exemption, to be filed by
them with the selectmen of the town where
they are likely to be enrolled. Those who
were exempted by post surgeons in 1878.
1879, 1880 and 1881, and the disability
classed as permanent, will not be required to
be examined again, unless ordered so by the
surgeon-general. Persons not filing their
certificate of exemption with the selectrnen
before the first day of February will be de-
barred from exemption for the year.

Mr. Gilbert Birdsall and Dr. Marshall bad
a very narrow esca from serious injury
Monday eyening, whi summing the Danbury
track on the Norwalk road, during the severe
wind and rain storm which prevailed early in
the evening. Just as’they were crossing the
track they thought they heard the rumbling
of approaching cars, though theyecouid see
no light nor hear-a bell ring, and fore they
could avoid it a band-car struck the vehicle
with great force, throwing the carriage and
occupants on either side of the track and the

Mr. George W. Capron, agent for Boyle
Bros, New Haven, general agents for the
above engraving, is in town chuvassiug for
its sale. The picture represents the entire
family of the late President, the figures
being most artistically grouped and of far
more than usual excellence, the portraits
being copied from original pictures furnish-
ed to the publishers by Mrs.’ Garfield
herself. We have examined this work of
art and from our own personal acquaintance
with the features of the dead President and
his family, we pronounce the likenesses to
be unusually correct, The engraving being
sold only. by subscription is thus placed in
the reach of those of even the most humble
circumstances, and as the subject is one of
national interest we are sure the picture
will command a ready sale. It is enclosed
ina neat yet handsome frame and is well
worth the price asked for it. We bespeak
for Mr. Capron unbounded success in our
town, and trust our friends will aid him in
his endeavors to introduce this picture
here.
