OCTOBER 28. 1898 —12 PAGES. PRICE. Two CENTS“ q WILL ll BE UVELY? Clarence F. Osborn Nominat- ed by Democrats for Representative. 'He Was the Unanimous Choice of the Con- vention. A Democratic convention for the nomination of a candidate ,for repre- sentative to the General Assembly was held in the Opera House building last night. There were fourteen out of a pos’- sible thirty-two delegates present. Henry W. Gregory presided and B. C. Feeney was secretary. Attorney ' John J. Walsh presented the name of Clarence F. Osborn. He paid Mr. Osborn a pretty compliment and said if he was placed in nomination the canvas would be a lively one. “The liveliest ever seen in the town of Nor- walk.” On motion, Mr. Osborncwas unani~ mously nominated by acclamation. Messrs. John J. Walsh, Henry W. Gregory and John J. Keogh were ap- pointed a committee to advise Mr. Os- born of his nomination, and the same . l committee was empowered. to fill a vacancy should it occur which it was not thought would be the case. A motion was made that the conven- tiOn adjourn but before being seconded George A. Honnecker asked to, be, heard, and permission was granted by the chair. He commenced by apologizing for bringing the subject before the conven- tion. He said that it had come to his Ehowledge that Mr. Richardson, the democratic nominee for senator, was to be assassinated at the polls by mem- becs of the party as‘l‘iad been the case at the recent town election, at which a candidate for assessor kind of treatment. He said that both Mr. and Mr. Osborn were too good dem- ocrats to be assassinated and thought that something ought to be done to avert such an evil. He further re- marked that he ‘should soon sever his ties with Norwalk and hoped to be able to say to others that the local democratic party was never besmirched received that Richardson by a wrongful act. Delegate Malone, lost no time in be- ing recognized by the chair, and stand- ing up and looking squarely at Mr. “It may be that you I had good reasons Honnecker said. are firing at me. on last election day to work against a certain candidate for assessor. It was the first time since I have been a voter that I. ever scratched a name on a Dem- ocratic ballot.‘ I did have an animosity against the man, and asked him as a man to call and see me to the end, that such differences between us might be adjusted, but he was not man enough to do it. At this juncture the secretary of the meeting interrupted and said the dis- cussion was out of order and moved that the convention adjourn and it was so voted. , Mr. Osborn informed a GAZETTE reporter this morning that he had ac- cepted the nomination. ‘A‘ Political Notes.

The train 13111111; Ftirfisld last night at 11:36 was stalled just east of the depot for over two hours by the break- ing of the rocker arm on the engine. The mechanism broke a few minutes after the train had left the station. The train was not running at a .very high rate of speed. When the accident ' occured it caused the whole train to rock just as if it had jumped the track. Most of the pissengers who were asleep were thrown out of their seats. They got up and rushed to the door and were just about to jump off when the train was brought to a standstill. The engineer went back to the train and examined the running gear, think ' ing that one of the car wheels was broken. No break could be found, so an examination of the engine was made and it was discovered that the rocker arm had been broken off. A disconnection was make on the rocker arm and after a long delay. the train mm as far as Burr Road, where the passengers were transferred to the Washington express. ' It was very fortunate that the train was not running at a very high rate of speed, for if it had, a se1 ious accident would surely have Occurred. A Business in Full Swing.

The book is by Charles >Klein, author of “El Capita‘n.” Unlike most librettos, this contains a stirring story, the fun of wt ich grows naturally out of the situa-“ tions. The lyrics, catchy and pleasing, with the rhythmic swing of Sousa’s number, can hardly fail to delight. And in “The Charlatan” Mr. Hopper has been provided with ,a role that is ex- actly to his liking, and one in which he should prove particularly diverting. Here. then, is a. particularly promising combination. Mr. Hopper’s company this year is the best that he has ever employed. In fact, “The Charlatan” re- quires a larger and more important cast than did “El Capitan,” and is in' 1 other respects a more extensive produc- tion than this old favorite. The scenery and costumes of the presentation are» ' the handsomest and most elaborate yet seen ,in comic operain this country. A large party from Norwalk will go over to hear the opera.
