Mayor-elect R rhert J. Vance’s pol-
itical star is in theascendancy 311:1: now.
Chosen mayor of New Britain but a
few days ago, he is now enjoying a
growing boom for the gubernatorial
candidacy. Col. Vance stops at nothing
short of the tone-Bridgeport Telegram.
Col. Vance is all right. He not only
has a good, level and well balanced head,
brilliant within and without, but his rec
0rd is one that even our esteemed and
super-scrupulous neighbor, the GA-
ZETTE, could conscientiously endorse,
inasmuch as he has “never robbed any
hen roosts or stolen any deacon’s cider
in South Norwalk, whatever he may
have done elsewhere.”-—South N orwalk
News.
The GAZETTE with entire sincerity
and honest desire to see it accomplished,
urged upon‘the democrats of South
Norwalk the nomination of Editor
Rodemeyer for Mayor. We still believe
that it would .be the strongest ticket
they could put in the field as he would
capture a large republican vote and
thus have the best chances for an elec-
tion. Wewere pained that our-candidate’s
chronic difiidence and modesty so far
overcame his own and our better judg-'
ment, as to lead him to decline the prof-
fered honor- Thus has he all his adult
life, missed matrimony, fame and fam-
ily and now seems determined to rob
himself of high political honors. As
after being Mayor of South Norwalk,
we should next boom him for state sen-
ator, then for Congress, and finally, to
cap the climax of a long,’ useful and
picturesque life, it-was our purpose to
boom him for Governor. And why not
“pray? Rodemeyer pos‘sasses all the
qualifications for these several offices in
afar greater degree than “Bob” Vance,
. except in the one item that he hasn’t
red hair.
If our “John” will only consent to
run for Mayor no such mortification
can come to him again as was perpetra-
ted by the BridgeportTelegram when it
printed his name “ John Dodemeyer,"
or as befell Del.»gate to St. Louis E. O.
Kecler, when his name appeared in the
press reports as “Edwaid A. Keeler.”
Now John please do overcome your
inate bashfulness and heroically resolve
to run for Mayor of South Norwalk,

The State'Convention.
The New York Tribune editorially
expresses the following generous senti-
ments in regard to the Connecticut
Republican State Convention on‘ Wed
nesdayz—
“The State Convention at New Haven
at which, according to custom, both the
district delegates and the delegates‘at-
large were elected, simply followed
precedent in leaving the delegation un-
rmmmelled by instructions. And, al-
though there was some talk by over-
ZBRlOIIS but injudicious partisans of
vithIIg the sense of the convention as
-o its preference among the candidates,
'«E ens wisely resolved, since the only
~l’f ot of it would be to provoke un-
m. e =ssarily personal and factional dif-
M... noes, to refrain from any ac;ion
l. might seem intended to influence
.ne- minds of delegates. It was quite
-. wdent, however, that but two cinch-
«in a. s, McKinley and Reed entered into
1 onsideration. .
The impression has gone abroad that
the rival interests of McKinley and
Reed were represented by Mr. John A.
Porter, of Hartford, and the Hon. Sam-
uel Fessenden, of Stamford, and that
in some say the ambition of Mr. Por-
ter to be Governor and of Mr. Fessen-
den to be United States Senator might
be involved in the struggle for control
of the delegation. In this view the fact
that Mr. Porter was not elected as dele-
gate from his own town, but only ap-
peared in the convention as a substitute
)\ id. was not elected delegate to St.
1 . iuis, while Mr. Fessenden wasa dele-
; 7c from his own town and elected dele-
_~_ .tt-Atnarge to St. Louis, might seem
i.. liiil'LHhO in some degree the prefer-
t llUc of the convention. * * * Mr.
Poms-Udell was Speaker of the last
House of Representatives, and has ele-
Lieuts of personal popularity which have
in" been disturbed by aggressiveness
in furtherance of his Senatorial aspira-
Lons‘. _

ease. '

Spring Time
Is when nearly everyone feels the need
of some blood purifying, strength in-
vigorating and health producing medi-
cine. The real merit of Hood’s Sarsap-
arilla is the reason of its widespread
popularity. Its unequalled success is
its best recommendation. The whole
system is susceptible to the most good
from a medicine like Hood’s Sarsaparil-
la taken at this time, and we would lay
special stress upon the time and: rem-
edy, for history has it recorded that de-
lays are dangerous. The remarkable
success achieved by Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and the many words of praise it has re-
ceived make it worthy of your confi-
dence. We ask you to give this medi-
cine a fair trial.

Hood’s
F Blind k
Sometimes .persons become blind
from impure blood, Which develops
scrofulous ulcers on the eyeballs, iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing. the
eyes and restoring all tlic affected
parts to healthy condition. Read this:
“As an act of justice and for the ben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afflicted children, I write this. About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the worst form and in a few weeks
was entirely blind, being unable to tol—
erate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The best eye specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the
became worse. Then I took her to a special-
ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,
and goes to school. When she began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat
hermeals in a darkened room, but now
Cured
she is able to sit at the table with the
rest of the family.” Mas. OLLIE BUSEB,
