The question most affecting this sena-
torial district, however, is so important,
that in justice to myself and to those
whose suflraxeslaek, if ought in fair-
llrll to be clearly stated, and to be dis-
cussed. and considered at some length
now and here. '
A great part of the wealth, the popu-
lation, the business, the enterprise. of
the State of Connecticut is within a strip
of territority ten miles wide along the
shore and throughout the length of the
Bible. The pressing need of that terri-
tory is another railroad along its
entire length, from West to East, as for
inland and as far north of the New York
and New Haven road and the Shore Line
road as it can lie reasonably located.
Such a new road is absolutely uccwsary
lathe growth nun proper development
of Its commerce and its business.
The enterprise of building such a road
has been projected by various wlnpeulel,
Home good, and possibly some bad-
for the last thirty years, and charters
have been sought from the legislature
authorizing its construction. All such
attempts have been defeated. The New
York. New Haven & Hartford ltuiiroad
Company has caused their defeat. The
need of such a road though great at the
outset has been growing year by year
and will continue to grow. Recogniz
ing this, and recognizing liquelly the

to build such a mail itself, instead of
foul-tracking its patient route. The
proposition was urged and discussed
from many points of view, and was res-
pectfully considered by this company.
On our part it was urged that such a
railroad. would not be In the full sense
of the term a competing railroad. even
if in the bands of a rival company. but
would open up new country, affording

I do not think a man in the State. cou-

that by any other course of action a
railroad, meeting the demand herein de-
scribed, is within sight at the present
time. If this is so the course I have out:

confronts us.
Ido not propose state ownership of
the railroads as a general proposition,
and will go no further in this direction
than to urge this course in the present
emergency as the only course open to us

I the legislature will charter any
responsible corporation to build such a
road under a guaranty that the road will
be immediately built if the com any is
chartered, or if the New Yor . New
Haven & Hartford Road will ask for
power to build such a road and will
guaranty to build it. then the proposi-
tion that the state should build such a
road would not be justified. But if no
such other company can get such a
charter. and if the Consolidated road
will not take such an extension of its
own powers as to build it, then it should
he demanded and persistently urged that
the state should build it. We want the
road, we do not care who builds it.
Do you ask whether the state has the
power to do this? There can be no
doubt of it and it will not be denied.
The constitution dare not forbid it, and
except on restricted by its constitution,
Connecticut has all the powers that any
state of the Union has. Olilel’ states
have carried through great public enter-
prises ol a somewhat similar character.
Our next neighbor on the west. the im~
portal state of New York, in 1817 com-
menced the Eric Canuicxtendiug from
Albany to Buffalo. three hundred and
sixty-three miles long, and finished it in
1325 at a cost of $7,602,000. The project
was first submitted to the general govern-
ment. It failed of sup rt, but as gover-
nor of New York. vomit Clinton sues
ceeded in carrying it through as a stale
work. For the most part of it traversed

but it illustrates the power of the State
and the propriety of its undertaking
public works which are either too great
for private enterprise. or which for any
reason can be obtained in no other way.
One company after another undertook
the Work and failed: but in 1802 the
State, having before that time lent its
credit to the enterprise, took the work
into its own hands and completed it in
1574, for the sole purpose of affording
more direct and serviceable communica-
HOD between Boston and the west. It
is true that Massachusetts has seen fit to

of the railroad systems of the State. but

tunnel was built.
Again the State of New York author-
ized the citieo of New York and Brook-
iyo to build the Brooklyn Bridge—an
work which was demanded by the needs
of businru and commerce, but which
was regarded as too great for private en-
lrrprise. The result amply justified this
course. for from the very moderate tolls

Sn heli‘, vvbtlo “19818“! would in the

be doubted that the tolls paid to the
State upon the traffic of the prepared
road would abundantly secure the State
from any loss, and would finally give

Mort-over. the propoeitton is timely,
for the State Is now solelantisily out of
debt. There is no state tax. It is not
likely the-re will ever be one again, and
there is a surplus of over “0,000.00

The position is fair and just toall the in-

anybody else do so; but Ioniy voice your
sentiment and that of the great majority
of the district, when hey that we resent
the obstruction which is practiced by
that company against the pressing need

No stone should be left unturned to
get a road. All ways to get it but this

The people of the Second and Third
voting districts, especially the Republi-
cans, are not feeling good natured over
the unner- ln which maniacal. James
C. Crows was treated by the Republicans
of the First district. Just previous to
election the Second district town com-
mittee called upon the committee in the
First district and they readily consented
to allow South Norwalk to name the
first seicctmen. The committee doubl-
iess were sincere in what they did, but
when the fact became known in this city
and East Norwalk it was said by many
that Norwuik would see to it. that the
first selectman would not be from South
Nor-walk. The election returns have
proved the correctness of their state-
ment. One hundred and fifty Republi-
osns placed Mr. Daskam's posters on the
Republican ticket, most of them being
over the name of Col. Crows. The asser-
tion was freely made in the First district
during the day of election that if Mr.
Crows was elected first seiectmau the
office would be removed to South Nor-
walk and people in that port of the town
would have to come to this city to trans-
ect their business. Notwithstanding
there was no foundation for such a
rumor, the people of the borough were
ready to show the spirit which has al-
ways actuated them in their dealings
with South Norwaik. It is plainly seen
what Norwulk would do in case the con-
solidation scheme was cousumated, The
defeat of Col. Crowe shows that political
friendship of Norwulkers amounts to
very little. and promises from that end
of the town should be accepted with a
large degree of allowance.

Several names were suggested, and up-
on an informal ballot it was found

The formal ballot gave R. M. Rose 19

the meeting and informed him of their
choice. Hr. Rose accepted the nomina-

Mr. Rose is a prominent business man

JOHN 8. . SEYHOUR'S
In today’s issue we print up,
letter of acesptsuosof John 0. p _ .
of Norwalk. nominated yesterday by like
Democrats for Senator for tho Thirteenth
District. The platform on which he dos
sires on election is the building 01 'a.
railroad parallel to the New York and
New Haven road by the state, to ho used
by one or more corporations for the sour
ning of trains in competition with the
Consolidated company.
Mr. Seymour declares that such a rail-
road is necessary and that it has not and
moot be built because of the control of
the legislature by the Consolidated rail-
road company.
Mr. Beymonr’s proposition is to tax the
stats at large for tho roadbed and to (for
rive a revenue from its use from the cor-
porations operating if. f
The scheme is such on impracticable
and impolitic one that it is diflcuft to
give it serious consideration. If what
Mr. Seymour declares is true, that the
Consolidated road will for fifteen years
to come control the legislature of this
state. that corporation will not permit
such a law as he recommends to be pass.
ed. Therefore if such a road as be pro-
poses was feasible it could not be built
by the state for the very reason that it
cannot be built by ordinary methods.
If the Consolidated railroad can prevent
the building of a railroad under the gen-
eral railroad law it can as erochllIly
prevent one being built by the state by
special statute, as it can defeat the enact-
ment of such a statute if it controls the
legislature.
And then the plan proposed by Hr.
Seymour is decidedly un—Democrsttc.
It would place the state in competition
with private enterprise, tax the m at
large for the benefit of a portion of it.
and have a general tendency toward
centralization of power.
If there is any argument for the build-
ing of such a railroad it is not in the mo-
tion proposed by Mr. Seymour. If the
slate is going to build railroads for the
benefit of any section it should fbe for
that which is unable to build for itself,
and not that already developed and ac-
commodated by another road. ’
The truth is the section through which
ills. Seymour proposes to build a railroad
at state expense is the best supplied with
railroad facilities of any in the state.
Whatever may be said against the Coss-
soiidaled railroad it cannot be aid that
it does not fully accommodatethssecfion
through which it runs. In fact it has
conduced very largely to the develop-
ment of that section and increased all its
facilities as requirements demanded. To
be sure it does not have more than one
station in a town. Hr. Seymour thinks
it ought to have two in Norwalk, and
condemns tho company for not parallel—
ing its OWD road for this purpose.
Mr. Seymour suggests that if the Con-
solidated company will undertake the
building of his proposed road the state
should not, and concludes with, “we
