Governor Lounsbury yesterday ac« cepted the resignation of Judge it. .1. W lsh, of Creenwichgaa judge of the 01' miual Court of Common Pleas for , Falrlleld county, and tendered the ap- pointment to John H. Light, of South Norwalk, the present prosecuting at- , torney of the court. Attorney Michael Kenealy, or Stamford, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and leader of the House in 1899, will succeed Mr. Light as prosecutor. The resignation of Judge Walsh, says the Bridgeport Farmer, was a mild sur- prise, to say'the least. not the sligbt~ est intimation that he intended retir- ing having been previously given out. His resignation (hasnbeon in the hands of the governor about a week, but it was not formally accepted until yes- terday. Theappolntmeut of Attorney Light follow in natural sequence. and meets the full approval of members of the bar. His commission will arrive in a few days, when he will make the formal announcement of a prosecuting attorney, but it is definitely settled that Mr. Kenoaiy will he the man. The Chiminal. Court of Common Pleas was created in 1889, and Judge Walsh was appointed its first judge. At the time the biibwas passed. Judge Walsh was secretary ‘of state. The late Judge W. B. Glover, of Fairflold, and Edward F. Hall. representatives from Stratford. ,were the main promot- ers of the bill creating the court. When Judge Walsh Was named for the place he unpainted Mr. [Glover prosecuting attorney. which positiou he held to the date of his death. Mr. Light was the successful one of nearly a dozen candi- dates for thepositlon of prosecutor m 1896. and has held the ofilce continu- ously sinneifllllt: time. The court convened yesterday morn- ‘ ing, the October term having been held open after the disposition of business early in fliéflnbnth at the request of Judge Walsh. Immediately after tak- ing his place upon the bench. Judge Walsh asked: Prosecuting Attorney Light if there. was any business for the court. Mr. Light replied in the neg- ative. “Before adjournlng this court sine die and completing my services." Judge Walsh said, “I have a few words to say to this effect. that since i came to this court nearly twelve years ago, the members of the bar have been more than patient. considerate. and fair in their treatment of the court. While they have been most faithful to their clients. they have also treated the court with the utmost courtesy. The oflicersaof the court have been kind and attentive, and if there have been any mistakes made they surely have not‘been because the officers have not performed their duties well. I de- sire to say. also. that in that time 1 have never known the reporters to misrepresent the court, or to be mis- leading in their reports. To all these I have a deep feeling of gratitude." Judge Walsh then ordered the court adjourned without date. Judge Walsh said in an interview: “My sole reasons for resigning at this time are that I feel i have held the office sufficiently long, and also my business affairs now engage my whole attention. l have contemplated this action for quite a while. i do not re- sign with any expectation or aspira. tione of any further honors. but simply to give closer attention to my otn‘er interests.” Governor Lounsbury's appointment holds until the next General Assembly elects a judge for the balance of the term expiring July 1. 1901. The Legis- lature will also appoint for the term of four years from that date. Judge Walsh is one of the best known members of the bar in Connec- ticut, a man who has been the recip- ient of high honors in his town and al- so statewise. He has a large legal practice in Greenwich and also in New York state, and has extensive siness ship in the first place was only upon the consideration that it did not debar him from active practice at the bar. He has often been mentioned in con- nectiou with promotions to the Super- ior Court. but would never allow his name to be considered. Naturally of a judicial temperament. his administra- tion of affairs has commanded the re- spect of the profession. , John ll. Light, who succeeds Judge . Walsh, has been prosecuting attorney olthe court since February. 1898. He is a son of the late Benton Light and Anne Light. his mother being a real- dent of New Canaan, this county. and was born March 27, 1855. He is a grad- uate of Chamberlain institute. nan- dolpli. N. Y.. and studied law in the lollies of Levi Warner, in Norwaik. He was admitted to the bar in 1883. and in the following year was appointed cor— tlon counsel of the City of South ,, orwalk, a position be has held contin‘ ‘uonsly to the present data under both appliances and Dentocraiic adminisa trations.

He was chairman of the Judiciary com- mittee and Republican leader of the House in the lastsosslon. He is now a candidate for senator from the Twelfth district. ‘ Mr. Kenealy’s appointment, while ac- ceptable to the members of the bar, will be a disappointment to various candidates who have cast aspirin eyes toward the place. The new 0 cials will begin their duties in the Criminal Court of Common Pleas when the No. vemhcr term opens. “wow“ ELITE SOCIAL CLUB SOIREE. .—......—- The Merry Dance Held Sway in Arlen Hall Until Early Morn. . The Elite Social Club held its first social affair of the season, last night. in Ariou Hell. it was a perfect suc- cess, both in numbers and in the social atmosphere of the Occasion. The hall was prettily dendrated, flags of various nations predominating. Llnxweller's orchestra furnished music, and the merry and exhiilrating dance held away until an early hour this morning. The music was excellent, several of the latest dance compositions being ren- dered. The members of the club did everything possible for the entertain— ment of their guests, and succeeded ad- mirably. Thomas F. Cole contributed his part toward the entertainment of the guests by two excellent vocal selections. sing- ing Adams’s Holy City. and in response to an enthuslsctis encore. When Your Love Grows Cold. Mr. Cole was in line voice. and the audience was loath to allow him to depart. The accom- panist was Joseph Linxweiier. The members of the club wore large and handsome Chrysanthemums as boutonnieres, presented to them by George H. Traendly. the Brookside florist. The committee of arrangements was J. H. Weishelt, John Jones. Frank Gor- man and Edward Gorman. Milliii’iliilililli Some Prosnosticaiions on the local Political Situation. MANY uubfru BRYAN He Says Bronson will be Governor.

While the state may go for McKin- ley and that is doubtful, in Mr. Mer- rill's estimation. he is sanguine that a Democratic governor will be chosen, and that Congressman Hill will have a close rub. Mr. Merrill is also of the opinion that Richard H. Golden will be elected senator, and Henry W. Greg- ory. judge of probate. He also be lieves that Oliver E.

Respectfully. ALBERT E. WINCHESTER. GOOD THINGS SAID FOR GOLDEN. His Candidacu for State Senator Dailu Growing in Popular Favor. The Democrats of the Thirteenth the Senate. Senatorial District. comprising the towns of Norwalk. Fairl‘ield. Stratford Weston aiul Trumbull. have nominat- ed a candidate for state senator. who is winning warm commendations from even the most rabid Republicans. in these times of heated debate, when personalities enter largely into nation- . al and state politics. the man who re- frains from utterances prejudicial to his opponent. is sure to command the respect he deserves, and his course will find its reward at the polls elec- tion day. Such a man is Richard H. Golden, of South Norwalk. He does not countenance. nor will he permit, so far as lies within his power. to pre- vent. a single word to be said deroga- tory to the Republican candidate. This is only characteristic of Mr. Gold~ en's broadmlndedness and fairness. Although the nomination came to him entirely unsought. now that he is in the fight, he seeks to be elected on his merits alone; and if too enthusiasm his candidacy has created in every town of the district is a forecast of the result. he will win by a handsome majority. ' Mr. Golden is widely known in the Thirteenth district. and enjoys an ex. tensive acquaintance throughout west- ern Connecticut. He is a fine example of the self-made man.“ His rapid rise in the business word; his high stand- ing in the community in which he lives: his loftlhess of purpose: his strong stand for purity in politics are an inspiration that appeals to’ every young man. A man who has been thus honored in his own town, and by people of all, political‘partles. can be trusted to rep- resent the district with dignity and credit to his constituents and with honor to himself. By reason of his ex- tensive conductance with men of al- fairs and his knowledge of legislative methods. coined largely during his career as a newspaper man, and while he was mayor of South Norwalk. Mr. Golden is well equipped for a seat in the State senate. A logical reasoner, a man of uncrring Judgment. he is quick to crisp the strong points of an argument. and would no doubt be lie is ever a champion of th right; a royal lighter agdinst all that‘s wrong. Largehearted and op- en-handed, he is in close touch with the people. No monopolist would have a collar about his neck: no lobby- ist could sway him from a righteous cause.~——Bridgeport Farmer. THE BUILDING AND LOAN. An institution that has flourished Un- der Mr. Golden's Guidance. Mr. Editor: We have heard a great deal about our Municipal Electric Light Works. and rightly so, in connection with Mr. Golden's candidacy for state senator: but no one has said anything about another flourishing local institution with which he is connected. and which. it seems to me. entities him to some consideration. I refer to the Norwnlk Building. Loan and investment Assoc- iationman association which has made it possible for many of us to own our own little homes. and pay for them on terms that are equitable, just and easy to meet. i recall with what nntlrlng earnestness Mr. Golden labored to es- tablish the Building and Loan Associa- tion. Although that was over ten years ago. and although his compensation as secretary has been a more pittance, his interest has never once lagged, and it is due largely to him that the associa- tion is today a sound and dividend-pay- ing institution. it is only another in- stance of Mr. Golden's interest in the welfare of The Norwaiks. A man'who is so heartily in accord with our every interest is a goodiman to have in- the Legislature, it seems to me, as ques- tions affecting ourzhome environments are constantly arisins. . » BUlbDlNG AND LOAN.

NEW YORK, November 3—~Much to the disappointment of all interested in the parade in favor of the gold standard, organized and held under the auspices of the Business Men’s Republican and Sound Money Adsociation, today’s weather was very unpleasant. The early morning opened with a fine, cold rain falling, and the streets were in bad condition for the marchers. The rain also caused a little de- la in starting. l Governor Roosevelt, the reviewer of the parade, arrived in New York at 8 o’clock, on an Erie Railroad ferryboat. He went immedi- ately t0 the Lawyers' Club. where a breakfast was served. The streets along the lineiof march were beautifully decorated. The down-town section of Broadway was a blaze of color from the enormous number of flags displayed. In some of the sky-scrapers, each window displayed the Stars and Stripes, and in each block, from the Battery to Fourteenth street there was a large flag hear- ing the names of McKinley andRoosevelt. At different points alon'g the line of march were wooden poles about 25 or 30 feet in height, erected by the Democrats, on which there were such sentences as the following: "The Trusts can make you march, but they cannot make you vote against Bry- an." "This is a trust parade and not a Republican parade.” . On some of these poles were portraits of Bryan and Steven- son. Each of these poles was guarded by a policeman. (Continued on Page Eight.) Valet Jones Not Mentallu Unbalanced. NEW YORK, November 3~Ciiarlcs F. Jones, secretary valet 0f the late millionaire, William M.

Patrick and Jones: accompanied by his law partner and a notary public, formerly in Lawyer Patrick's office, called at the Tombs prison today, and for two hours were in conference with Patrick. After its conclusion Lawyer House said: “My client Patrick is in achcerful mood and has no fear for the future. He is hopeful of the outdome. Further than this I am not at liberty to disclose the nature of my conference with him. It was purely of a personal nature to the trial. ‘ Assistant District Attorney Osborne was asked today if he thought Jones had told his full connection with the crime in the statement accusing Patrick. He replied: "‘I am positive in my own mind that Jones knew that killing was being done. I will wait until Jones is better before I go any further into this case.
