The following are some of the remarks being made anent Mayor Bo- hannan’s message by the scribblers of the Connecticut press: Unique and Interesting. Mayor Bobannan.’s message is unique and interesting. Will he proceed now to enforCe the Sunday laws rigidly? And ,what success will he have ? The progress of the Bohannan campaign will be watched with interest.—Hart~ ford Post. 100 Years Behind the Times. If Mayor Bohanuan attempts any such thing he will cause himself to be very much disliked and will certainly not advance the cause of true religion one particle. The so.called Puritan or old NemEugland Sabbath made more in- fidel's than saints and it’s all nonsense trying to‘ revive it. A decent,_respect- ful observance of Sunday dues credit to any community, but the mayor who says the people cannot buy a cigar or newspaper on that day is just one hun- dred years behiiid the times. We can- not believe that Mayor Bohannan could have secured an election on any such profession of faith. The platform is too narrow to emanate from a free- silver' Democrat-~Stamford Repupli- can. What Shall it Profit. | abroad in South Norwalk, to the effect that Mayor Bohannan’s inaugural ser- mon, preached to the common council text, was written for him by a local minister. ' Fudge and fiddle‘sticksl The sermon itself refutes thechurge. In the first place, it is too short to have been written by a minister. In the sec- ond place it stops when it gets through with the subject. Thirdiy, it has no “tenthly.” Lastly, Mayor Bohannau is abundantly able to write his own discourses, and for the matter of that, to give points to any local minister in logical construction as applied to liter- ary architecture. The chief interest down there now is, not who wrote the message, but what shall it profit South N orwalk if it shuts up all the cigar, ginger pop, .banana and news stores, boot-blacking stands and barber shops, so long as the smokers, banana eaters, pop drinkers, the unshared. unshined, etc, can satisfy their every wicked want by simply taking a trotley car to the sister City of Nor-walk at the other end of the street the bailiwick, of May- or Glover, who isn’t a stiekler for a puritanical Sabbath—New Haven Pal- It issaidv there "is an insinuation _ladium.
