NEW HAVEN, Sept. 9.-—Not much
sleep Was obtained by the Republican
leaders during last night nor by the
men who have in their hands the im-
mediate political destinies of the can-
didates for office on the state ticket.
The excitement of last night due to
the antagonism of nearly a third‘ of
the 580 delegates to Congressman
George L Lilley, which reached a son-
sational climax in the New Haven
House about 1 o’clock this morning.
when State Leader 0. R. Fyler and
General George E. Kecney. of SOIIIOI‘S.

' had an argument over the action of
the manufacturers’ conference, which
is fighting Mr. Lilley. amused the par-
ty managers to realisation that they
might face it trying situation in the
convention before the nomination for
gavernor was made. The state conven
tion in 1900 when George P. McLean
bore the brunt of the attack of the

friends of Donald T. Warnex. was prob-
ably as. acrimonious as this one prom-
ieses to be. In the present case. the
most bitter antagonism to Congress-
man Lilley comes from men promin
ent in business life, while that in the
the convention is mostly due to the
candidacy of Licut. Governor Lake
and of Governor Woodruff. Mr. Lilley
has about 400 of the 580 delegates con-
trolled by the organization machinery.
Governor Woodruff has asked no one
to present his name, but in the belief
that the people of thestute want him,
he will not withdraw.

All night conferences were in pro-
gress to iron out. if possible, the var.
ious contests for places on the state
ticket, and as the lobbies of the hotels
remained filled until llearly 3 o'clock.
rumors were bandied back and forth
adding to the keen interest taken in
the preliminary lineup of supporters

a.“ Slayers] candidates. The story
'pftufacturers’ conference and

at of resolutions drawn up by

in body and given to the resolutions
co mittee of the convention, became
the subject ot- discussion. and through

the interrogatories made by Mr Fyler
of General Keeney, some of the details

 

 

, 0f the discussion between the two

marshes committees became known.
Genrge S. Palmer cf the manufactur-
ers' committee. who was asked by Mr.
Filer if it were true that he intended
muss his fortune to "corrupt the
electorate of Connecticut." is a class-
mate of Mr. Taft. and entertained the
latter during the New London regatta
in June. W. H. Rodenbach, of Nau-
gnttlck. another of the committee, is
idhtltified with J. ll. Wilitienlore the
filiiflonaire manufacturer of the New
gatuck Vallev He told Mr. Fyler
that he was as goods: Republican as
Wu Hr. Fyler. and moreover had vot-
ed the Republican ticked in the south.
when to do so meant looking into the
muscle of a revolver.
‘ This conference gave the party man-
agers much concern. The resolutions.
however. are expected to be forgotten
if the committee which has a major-
! i of Lilley men that candidate hav-
ing won out in most of the senatorial
istricts from which delegates all con-
tiltitlon committees are raised.

The drafting of a platform was left
to s sub-committee which reported to
the full committee at 8 o clock.

:The crowd, at the convention was the
biggest in years. Scarcely a party
than of any prominence was absent.
Bonnier M. G. Bulkeley alld National
dbmmittceman Charles F. Brooker
Were among those who were in close
touch with the state committee. in on-
deavoring to bring about complete har-
many.

‘There was much comment over the
manufaeturers' Werence among the
party Leaders. ay. and many of
them denounced it. Railroad Commis-
sioner Andr F. Gates said:

"As I und stand the matter, it was
a very limited gathering of business
men representing their individual D0-
litical opinions. No officer of a cor-
poration has the authority or right to
speak in matters of suffrage, either
for stockholders or employee. The ar-
gumenfithaf, because a candidate for
‘ vernor of .a state has raised the

nth of some men holding the posi-
tion of congressman, therefore con-
gress will retaliate and so revise taril!

' schedules as to discriminate against
. Connecticut manufacturers is too ab-
sord for comment."

Not a single conference brought
any result. J. H. Rel-aback, represent-
ing EH. Emmons. of New Milford. of-
fered to withdraw his name in favor
of easurer Patten, if Mr. Gates
would retire in favor of Mr. Brad-
street. but the latter thought he had
too good a hold on the convention to
give way and so further negotiations
ended.

The delegates poured into the thea-
tre st 9: 45. the floor: seats were filled.
and the first balcony was crowded. In
one box was Mrs. George 1... [Alley and
Mrs. I. M. Ullman. The reports of

the committee on credentials. perms.-
nent organization and the lists of vice-
prssidents were presented and adopted
. within a minute. The convention was

He announced that the first work
would be a presentation of the num-

of Norwalk. who presented the name
of George L. Lilley. Mr. Light b
at 10: 16. and his first reference to
President Roosevelt brought cheers.
and a minute latter awave of hp.
plause swept the convention at the
mention of Lilley' name.

Judge Light sa .

The American people have exper-
ienced a great awakening. The admin-
istration at Washington has given this
nation a new birth of freedom. and the
whole world a splendid object lesson
in government by the eople.

Next to AbrahamL ncoln. Theodore
Roosevelt has rendered the highest
service to his country. He has made
honesty. courage and ability cardinal

principles of political faith. and his
own administration as "clean as‘ a
hound' s tooth."

His words and deeds measure up to
the full requirements of democracy.
“Tile progress of all through all. under
the leaderhsip of the wisest and be t; "
and his even-handed justice has made
the humblest citizen feel a new inter.
est in his country. and to sing with
Lowell the true song of democracy'

The president has created new stan-
dards for public service which demand

George L. llllcy fully satisfies these
standards and that his character. bil

of Connecticut has ever had.

it is true, like the peerless McLean.
he has not escaped calumlly. hut'ao-
cording to the philosophy of Shakes
peare, he would not do so if he were
as chaste as ice or as pure as snow.

in this world where good and evil
are almost equal kings no man can
perfonn his duty without fear or fav-
or and escape calumny. John the Ellen-
tist might have saved his head and
Christ escaped the cross by withhold-
ing adverse criticism from oflcinl
wickedness ill high places but by do-
ling so they would have left as poor in

ced.

We are heirs of all the past. Our
civilization is the product of the
world's struggles. Liberty and equal
ity have been crystalising through the
centuries. in the economy of nature
nothing is lost or forgotten. The mind

of'inan forms a sort of storage battery

which is charged with all the exper-
iences of the past. Every story and
poem, every sweet song and strain of
music. every smile and tear. every act
of charity and bravery, has been wov-
en into the warp and woof of his ‘char-
actor, and when touched by remem-
brance it becomes a conscious exper-
ience and influences his life

Mr. Liliey is hell of un- best blood
and experience in American life. He
comes from a long line of sturdy New
England ancestors. > Born on a farm he
was early made sensible of all of the
duties and experiences which come to
children of New England farmers with
small means. He was obliged tolwork
hard. and very naturally came to know
the struggles and _aspirations of the
telling masses. and to this day his sym»
pathies remain with ”the man with the
hoe." His successes have rarely been
paralleled. and his good fortune shows
that he had the wisdom to take "the
tide in the affairs of men" at its
fiood.

At ten years of age he might have
been seen in the early morning deliv-
ering milk from his father's farm to
factory hands for miles around. after
ward attending the village sch l; at
fourteen managing the farm alone. and
caring for ten milch cows, a horse and

wagon. and peddling milk and produce
from the farm; at seventeen making a
successful venture in mercantile busi-
ness as purchasing agent for his fath-
er: at nineteen driving a delivery wag.
on for one of the branches of the Swift
wholesale provision house. and at
twenty-one a membr of th firm of Lil-
iey. Swift 6’: Company Succeds has
waited upon him like a handmald at
every turn of the wheels of fortune. In
1901 he and 1 served together in the
General Assembly and became fast
friends. and nothing has occurred
since to weaken our friendship.‘ or to
lessen my admiration for him as .a pub-
lic officer, or my belief in him as a
man. Honesty. ability and fearless de-
votion to duty were marked charac-
teristics of his work in the legislature.
and it made him the logical candidate
of his party for congressman-at-large.
His life in. Congress is an open book
wherein every one of his constituents
may~ road of his courageous struggle
against extravagance and graft. He
carried to that larger field the same
high standard which made his Work in
the state legislature notable. and he
has endeared himself to us by the
great service which be rendered the
whole country by his fearless ‘attack
on the Print Paper Trust The South-
ern Railway Mail Subsidy. appropria-
tions for the maintenance of useless
navy yards. the Electric Light Charter
for the Hawaiians and the monopoly
in the submarine business.

He is a twentieth century states-
man. and a part of the great "civic
renaissance? He believes with his
party that the highest aspirations of
the American people have found a
voice in Theodore Roosevelt. He finds
reasonable source of pride in the‘ stew-

ardship of the Republican party on -

fare paramount.

Some Democratic politicians and
newspapers huVo been (.lulming that
Mr. llilley cannot draw the full Re-
publican vote if nominated. One of
their most brilliant writers stated in
last Sunday's New York Herald that
“it Is a peculiar characteristic of the
campaign in Connecticut this year that
Democrats are anxious not to have
Mr. Liliey nominated for reasons of
state pride." Surely this is delicious
political seif-abnegation! Think of the
hungry Democracy of this state being
anxious to have the Republicans nom-
inate a man who cannot be defeated
and all because of “state pride." Ye
gods. is Democracy dead? My friends.
Democratic advice like the lrishman'a
dream. must be taken by contrarlds.
if we should allow ourselves to be be
guiled by such claims. and go down‘to
defeat. we might have the cold conso-
lation of saying to ourselves 'in the
language of the wolf in the fable:
"This came of heading people who say
one thing and mean another." 4

It is true there has been some as-
perity growing out. of the seal which
necessarily accompanies such a spirit-
ed contest for file nomination as Vi!

Republicans too well to believe for a
moment that any such feeling. will
find expression at the ballot hos. Our

vention, He loves Theodore Roosevelt
and William H. Taft. and believes in
their policies. Nominate him and the
State of Connecticut will have a Gov-

people will have a leader of honor.
courage and ability.

Mn Light laughingly referred to
the applause for Mr. Liilcy by saying.
"I guess there is no trouble about
agreements."

Mr. Light was cloqncnt’throughout
his speech. and his sallies of the Dem.
ocratic party brought laughter. He
said he had in his pocket a letter from
a Democrat who said there were 38
Democrats in his town who were anx-
ious to vote for Mr. Lilley. He also
said that Mr. Lilley had shown his
courage in rising from a sick bed to
refuse to retract anything he had done
in the Washington inquiry.

Mr. Light took ‘thirteen minutes
and was follovred by Judge E. J Gar
van. of Hartford, who. amid applause
presented the name of Lieut. Governor
Everett J. Lake. He said:

As citizens of one country and as

sistant Chief Elbert W. Clark had just
been elected first vice- president of the
Connecticut State Fireman's Associa

Mr. Clark's boom for this office was
launched several months ago. and it
readily met with favor wherever it
landed for he has a large number of
friends who worked hard for his one
ccss. in addition, the ofilccrs of the
fire departments in the towns sur-
rounding The Norwalks have given
their hearty support.

Mr, Clark has been a member of
the South Norwalk flre department
for many years. bedng affiliated with
Putnam Hose Company, and was elect
ed second assistant engineer of the
department last year. in this oilice
he proved a very valuable assistant to

Big Nfiair Opened Last Evon-
Inc, and Will Continue for
the Balance of the Week-—
Everyone Looking for the
Man of Mystery

Roton Point is in giddy. gala attire
for its big five days’ Mardl Gran alld
Carnival, which opened there last eve.
ning and promises to be one of the
most successful events of the summer
season.

Go down and enjoy yourself. There
is plenty of fun for everybody and the
bigger the crowd the merrier. The
whole Point is a, sea of pretty Japan-
ese lanterns and decorations. all of
which added to an ideal picture that
was helped along still further inst eve-
ning by moonlight

The predominating colors arc the
national ollcs. Red. white and blue
have been used to pretty effect every-
where. and variegated colors also con-
tribute to the general effect.

The man of mystery was very much
sought after last night. Thus far no
one has successfully apprehended him.
All you have to do is to go up to him
and say: “Are you the man of mys-
tery?" if he is be will hand mm 820,
the pl’lzo to go to the first person
catching him. lic will give away
money to the extent of 8100. The man
of mystery says he had a dance in
the pavilion Monday evening with at
Stamford young woman named Miss
Alic<| Allen. He. describes her as hav-
ing dark hair and says she wore a
white dress. Should no one succeed
in catching him during the week. he
will make his identity known Satur-
day night He spoke to Constable
Samuel C. Ireland. last night. but the
latter did not know who he was.

it hardly seems possible that he will
be able to escape, however. for every
man most is being asked If he is party
in question. Last evening Art Russell
asked George Holmes if he was the
mysterious gentleman the crowd was
after. and he was fully equal to the ac
cueion. George dug down into his
trousers and handed out two coins. Mr.
Russell promptly accepted them and
carefully tucked them away into an
inside pocket of his cost. This move-
ment was noticed by a number of poo-
pic and Mr. Holmes was promptly be-
sleged. it took him most of the even
ing to convince the crowd that he was
simply George W. Holmes. and was
not the man of mystery The coins
he handed out were two bright new
pennies.

The dancing pavilion has been club-
orately decorated for the week. Here
as all over the grove. confetti fairly
rains. Everybody is good natured and
no one blinds a shower of this kind or
a jab from one of the familiar feather
ficklcrs. A stand has been erected in
the grove for the disposal of fancy
paper hats. various killds of noise pro-
ducing mechanism. confetti and every
thing that goes to make up -a carnival

‘ OBSERVED GOLDEN

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

lir. and Mrs. Minot 8. Partrick
Celebrated Event at Home in
‘Easf Norwalk

 

 

Occasionally there is a golden wed-
ding anniversary. but the married
couples who round out fifty years of
Connubial life are very few when the
population of the land is taken into
consideration.

Mr. and Mrs. Minot 8. Partrichtpf
the Washington strat bridge,.have
just had that pleasure. Just fifty years
ago Saturday Mr Partrfclt took Miss
Ellen Sanford. of Redding. for his
bride. The ceremony was performed
at the home of the bride in Redding on
September 5. 1858. At that time Mr.
Partrick was a resident of Wilton. his
heme town.

During their half century of wedded
life. Mr. and Mrs. Partrick have been
blessed with eight children. All of
these are now living. with one excep-
tion. their youngest daughter, who
died last fall. Mr. and Mrs. Partrlck
moved to Norwalk in 1885 and for sev-
.eral years Mr. Partrlck has been in
the shoemaking business on the Wash-
ington street bridge. He has also
achieved quite a reputation as a poet
and is a prominent member of the Ad-
vent Christian Church. in Van Zandt
street. Though past seventy years of
age. he is active. keeps at his business
and frequently finds time to dash off
a new poem.

In honor of the anniversary. Mr. and
Mrs. Partrick's children and their fam-
ilies gathered at 'the parental home
Saturday and had a pleasing re-union.
There are a number of grandchildren.

And Was Bound Over in tho
Stamford City Court in the
Sum of $3,500

Leo Dltrlchsteln. the actor play-
wright. was formally bound 0ch to file
Superior court for trial In the city
court. Stamford, yesterday He was
arraigned on a charge of violating
section 1.270 of the General Statutes.
This is an old statute, framed in the
time when duelling was quite the
proper way for gentlemen to settle
their grievances. It makes it a crime
to even challenge one to a duel. a
crime punishable by a fine of $3. 000
or one year in jail.

Mr. Dltrichstein‘s counsel, James S.
Jenkins entered a general demurrer
to the charge alleging that the infor-
mation in the complaint was insuffi-
clent. This was promptly overruled
by Judge amuei Young. who thereo
upon foun probable cause. and bound
the accused over for trial. The bound
was continued at $3,600. and Mrs.
thrle was continued as surety.

Not a scrap of evidence was intro
duced, and the crowd in the court
room was quite disappointed thereat.
They amused themselves studying the
characters in the duel that was not
fought. Mr. Diirichstein was accom-
panied by his wife. and he didn't look
a bit bloodthirsty. Major Schavoir.
seasoned athlete that he is. looked
like the one best bet to the court
room crowd. in the event of a duel ev-
or being pulled off.

Pasaéncora from Now York to
South Norwalk. Lsat Even-
ing, Given a Shock When Ter-
rific Noise Was Heard and
Lamp Was Shattered

Passengers of the train from New
York to Danbury. by way of South
Norwalk. and due here at 6:04 o'clock,
believe they had a narrow escape

from a deliberate attempt at train
wrecking last evening.

The train was proceeding at a good
rate of speed under Gainer's bridge. in
the deep cut neat“l Rowsyton railroad
stations. when suddenly a stone crash-
ed down on top of one of the csrs.jl‘he
impact broke one of the big lamps in
the center of the car. and the concus-
sion and broken glass sent the chosen.
gers flying from their seats. Many
thought that the train had struck an
obstruction and they were to be caught
In a wreck. As the train continued on
its way to South Nor-walk they were
greatly relieved.‘

At the station here it was reported
by passengers who were in the last
coach that they had seen three men on
the bridge. as the train went under.

 

and it is supposed they rolled a big 5

boulder down on top of one of the cars.
That it did not penetrate the roof is
a lucky occurrence for the passengers
who were in that immediate section of
the train.

The cut and the woodland adjoining
is a favorite rendezvous for tramps.
and as there are more of these gentry
about the country just now than ever
before they are being credited with do-
ing the dastardly trick.
