Harinonv prevailed at. the caucus of
the First and Third district Republi-
cans. held in the Town Assembly Hall
at ‘Nhrwaili, last night. and those who
expected a hot time were disappointed.
There was out little opposition to con-
ceding the office of first seiectman to
South Norwallt, and this was quickly
overcome. Samuel Lynes was nomina-
ted to succeed himself as seiectman by
a rousing majority.«whiie the other
‘ stand-by on the ticket were renomina-
ted. eacept Bradley'p. Keith (now post-
master) ’for member of the Board of
Belief, Jarvis Kellogg being chosen in
his place.
The caucus was a large one. over
\ iiva hundred persons being in the hall.
though many did not participate in the
proceedings, as was shown by the bai-
lot.' I
Frank Leonard was chooen modern-
tor and E. S. Adams, clerk. The call
being disposed of. the moderator read
the following communication.
September 20. 1898.
Francis Leonard, esq..
Republican Town Committee.
Dear Sir: It is understood'that the
committee from the several districts
, appointed last fall to harmonize the
differences existing as to the appoint-
ment of town offices are favorable to
conceding to the Firstm :HehioG- o
conceding the nomination of first sc-
Iectman to the Second Voting district
at the coming election.
,, Will. you kindly bring the matter to
the attention of the electors of your
caucus" this" evening-in order that ac-
tion may bodakdil on the request of the
Second district.
Yours truly
E. E. CROWE.
Chairman Republican Committee. Sec-
ond District. .
Attorney Joseph A. (tray then offer-
ed the following:
Mr. Moderator: i move that this
caucus proceed to nominate for a first
selectman to be placed first upon the
Republican town ticket votcd at tbc
town election to be holdcn on the first
Monday of October. liiiiil.
Judge A. is. Austin seconded the mo-
tiofi.
This brought Attorney J. Ileidcu
liuribuit to his feet With a jtiiiip. anti
though disclaimlng that he was the!
man chosen to smooth the troubled wu-
tors of the caucus so that the objection
to givuig Smith Norwalk what sbc dc-
serves would be overcome. he succeed-
mm.
in s spirit of fairness but concede tlils
request as one we ought to grant
"MIL" \
Attorney Gray differed with lid
iluributt. He said his remark to the
effect that the Second Voting district
ought to have the right to nominate a
candidate for any office would result
disastrousiy it followed. for. the result
would be that in a very short time
South Norwalk would want all the en-
ces. Mr. Gray did not believe that
Norwallr people were ready to move to
South Norwailr just yet. He believed
that It was the sentiment of Norwailt
Republicans that they should retain
what they had and continue to reside
In Norwaik for a while longer. He
also said that Smith Norwailr had more
town officers and salaries now than the
other two districts combined. and with
a less vote at that. He referred to Nor-
waik having the little end of the Town
Court as one example of South rdlr.
waik's greediness. Afr. Gray said Mr.
Mr. Hurlbutt’s avowed friendship for
South Norwaik. when he admitted that
he was generally disliked there. was
peculiar. it was surprising. he contin-
mad, that Mr. Hurlbutt would want to
favor Sotith Norwallr under the cir-
cumstances which he had stated. but
that as he did so there must be some
strong motive behind it all. Mr. Gray
said he hoped Mr. iitiributt would take
this in good part, and closed by urging
Norwallt Republicans to hang ,on to
what they had.
8. W. Maples said it had been a long
time since he had taken any part in it
Republican caucus, preferring to re-
main independent, yet the tendency 0;
late had been to draw him in.) the
Republican ranks. and be hoped it
would keep him” there. To offset Mr.
Gray's statement that Norwalk bad the
little end of the salary. Mr. Maples sta-
ted that Norwalk had the town clerk.
judge of probate and tax collector. The
judge of probate. he said. while not di
rcctiy, was practically a town office.
Mr. Maples said the town hall was also
in Norwaik. and he could see nothing
but justice in South Norwalk‘s claim
for first sclcctmon. He thought that
Norwulk had the big end of the bar-
gain both in offices and salary.
In reply to Mr. Maples. Mr. Gray sta-
ted that the judge of probate was In lll'
senile a town office. In reference to
salaries be said the town clerk was not
a salaried officer. The. first selectnian
drew $1.200; town court judge. $1.000:
second selectman. 8900: tax collector.
$900; another selcctman. $900; deputy
judge. 850i): clerk. $500. and two pros-
ecutors, at $500 each. in glancing over
these figures Mr. Gray said he failed
toflsee why South Norwalk did no?
have the best of the salary list. He
referred to South Norwallt's majority
In the Board of School Visitors and
said the schools of South Norwnlk
.cost more than those of any other part
of the town.
(linirics ()lmstcad remarked that ihi‘
question of debate was not upon the
amount of salary. "The question in
ought to consider is harmony in tin
Republican party. \Vc got each othcr
by tbc cars a year ‘ago and neither of
us got first seiectman. The other fei-
lows got It. I think this thing ought to
rotate. That will bring us harmony.
Aiiol‘llt'y iitlriiliiii said he did not
wish to lie accused of bringing up lhl‘
question of dollars and cents. ills
claim was not that Norwalk drew more
or less. "South Norwa'lk might desire
it for honor." he said. "though in my
lose 1 found it ciipcnsive. i was cl-
ccicd rrorlscutntivc; got Inuit, but it
cost inc 8500 or 8mm and I itnvu thri-c

and was passed by a practically unan-

The little store of Tony r‘nrdo, in
Benton street, was burglarized at an
early hour this morning. and articles
of considerable value were taken. Two
fellow countrymen, Turks. who make
a living by peddling trinkets about the
country, stopped with Mr. i-‘ardo Iiis‘l
night. Their black boxes. containing
cheap watches. razors. sigectacles.
chains, collar buttons, etc.. etc stood
alongside of them while they slept”:
but they slnmllered so soundly that
they did not hear anyone enter the
building and remove them. The empty
boxes were found this morning In the
woodland near the store. Everything
they contained had been removed. The
burglars gained an entrance to the
store by prying off the lock, and most
certainly have made considerable
noise.
They also attempted to enter the bit-
kcry of Frank Libner. an Hungarian.
who keeps a store next to Fardo's.
iicrc one of the windows was broken
out. The noise aroused the proprie-
tor. who fired a shot from his revol-
vcr at the two men, and they quickly
disupeared in the darkness. It is
thought the burglars were familiar
with the neighborhood and the habit:-
of their victims.
The South Norwall: police this morn-
Ing telephoned to the neighboring
towns. requesting the police to be on
the lookout for any suspicious charact-
ers trying to dispose of cheap jewelry.

be said that duritig sessions at times
pronounced by delegates to be disgrace-
ful because of their disorder. and upon
several occasions at the point of dis.

touted the silver element by securing
the adoption of a platform which to-

length and eloquently. Both he and
Mr. Gunn were greeted with cheers and
loud applause.
Judge Addis spoke in favor of unit-
ing on the majority report. Judge
Walsh. of New Britain. called for a

stirring appeal to the delegates to adopt

Mr. Martin. of East Hartford. spoke for
the minority preamble and character-
ized Cleveland democrats as traitors.
Mr. Shepard. of New Haven, said
that it was a worthy effort to work for
the success of the ilernocratic party.
but that the party had a higher aim
than thiswto improve the condition of
the masses of the country. the common
people. He said: "ltcnffirni the prin-
ciples of the Chicago platform and the
people will stand by us." Jeremiah
Donovan of South Norwalk. spoke for,
harmony. Gcorgc A. Hounicker. 'of
Norwalk. said that he would rather a
thousand times go down in drfcat than
"go to victory with those who deserted

harmony.
