The Tickets.
It is but fair to say, that all parties,
in the preparation of their tickets, town,
borough and city, have tried to put
their “best foot forward,” so to speak ;
to place before the voters their very
best available material. The usual in-
terest felt in our town tickets here at
the Bridge is this year entirely over—
shadowed by the unusual interest in
our two Borough tickets. Right here
let us say, the superior political tact
and wisdom of the plan adopted at the
Republican canons of leaving it to a
sensible committee of five, to formulate
a ticket, is made conspicuously mani-
fest. No ticket, possessing the inherent
personal popularity and strength of
that which the republicans present,
could have been put in nomination at
any caucus of two hundred voters.
It is the result not only of careful
consideration, in every detail, but is
the‘result of the strongest kind of per-
sonal intercession to get its component
parts to SacriECe a natural feeling of
aversion to becoming candidates and if
elected. to give to the public, time and
worry and anxiety and fret and all for
the poor recompense, in many in-
stances, of unjust criticism and cruel

serious sacrifice of personal tastes, con-
abuse.

water commissioner? These are con-
siderations which ought to influence
every voter who has the public weal
more at heart than a mere temporary
triumph of his party. They certainly
ought to win for such men, and such
candidates, the genuine, ungrudging
gratitude of every honest citizen.
As to the democratic borough ticket,
it must be admitted that it is an excep-
tionally good one. when it is considered
that it was selected largely by an ex-
cited assemblage of nearly two hundred
men. each one hotly intent on getting

that deserve and will receive the” entire
confidence of the people, both as to
their personal, unselfish integrity, and
It has names on it, it is true,
also as to their sound, practical sense.
But it is the commonest fact of phil 0S0-
phy that a timber is no stronger in
sustaining power than its weakest part .
But the several tickets are before the
“intelligent voter” and he will not be
long in selecting his favorites. And
may the best men win.
Changes.
Mr.J.M. Osborn having peremptoril y
refused the use of his name for burgess
on the republican Borough ticket, the
committee have inserted that of Wil-
liam A. Ambler. Mr. Ambler was a
soldier and is a citizen of unblemished
character.
Alonzo Nickerson and George Murray
have been selected to fill the places of
Burgesses on the democratic Borough
ticket made vacant by the withdrawal
of O. E. Wilson and James M. Creagh.
The latest information obtainable as
we go to press is that Mr. William A.
Ambler, who rumor said would not ac-
cept a place on the republican Borough
ticket as a burgess, will stand.

An amusingincident occurred at the
Congregational church in New Canaan
a few Sundays ago. A visiting preach-
er occupied the pulpit and in the course
of his sermon he took occasion to quote
a sentence from another minister, which
included the words “let is pray,” when,
to his great astonishment about half of
the con regation bowed their heads.
It took t em some time to realize the
fact that they had been ‘ ‘Sold,” but one
by one they resumed their former posi-
tion and at the close of the sermon ex-
planations were the order of the day.
The Hour, with its usual election
casuistry, urges the defeat of either
one of the Republican nominees for
Selectmen, on the ground that there is
danger of South Norwalk getting two
and the Borough none. If its plan
were attempted to be, or could be
carried out, it might result in the de-
feat of both Republican candieates and
the election of the nominee on the Pro-
hibition ticket. But is not this covert
attempt to stir up a sectional strife far
more disastrous to our local welfare
than the defeat ofany candidate or
party.

tion that he never knew of his ever hav-

WHAT MISS SPlNSTER SAYS:
That Mrs. Camp of East Avenue has
returned much improved in health.
That Dame Rumor has it, and it may
as well be borne in mind, that Mr. John
D. Kimmey wears a fear-leafed clover
in his inside hat band. "19) _
That it looks as if ’tbhfilines were get-
ting about even, when a woman Can
order. the windows of the new club
house facing her home, to be arranged
at her own sweet will. ,
That Miss Pierson of New York is
the guest of Mrs. T. H. Brrnes over
Sunday.
That Mr._ and Mrs, Winfield Moody,
J r., are_ enjoying life at the Catskill
mountains.
That the scholars of the Over River
School sent a beautiful floral tribute to
Mr._ and Mrs. Wigham to help sooth
their great sorrow and lighten their
sad affliction.
That this month is a notible one in
many respects. It is the month when
nature dons her most gorgeous hues to
deck the landscape, and all the glories
of autumn vie with each other in beau-
ty. All hail to the loveliest of the
months.
That the blessed air is a wonderful
glft of God. It does not stand upon
Its dignity, nor revolt at the way it is
located. It enfolds us every chance it
gets like a garment. it caresses us like
a cover, it dries tears, its sooths sorrows.
The tortured heart, the overwrought
brain rush to the fresh air for consola-
tlon and restoration and always find
the same healing, the same reviving in-
fluence. We need in our daily lives a
broader, more general recognition of
this Influence. We make a v1rtue now
of shutting the door. “Shut that door,
I shall catch my death of cold” is an
every day form of expression. Often
the open door would let in the chance
for Me instead of death, but the inac-
curate expression does its work never-
theless.

and thrown off the track. The entire
front of the locomotive was smashed
and the shock broke the Miller coupling
between the locomotive and baggage
car. Passengers were badly shaken,
several being thrown out of their seats.
Engineer Havens received a few scratch-
es and one of the firemen sprained his
wrist. A little girl was cut on the head
and face. Passengers were transferred
to the train due in Waterbury at two
o’clock.
All trains were delayed three hours.
The wreck was caused by disobedience
of orders by the men on the freight
train.

A Lively Criticism.
Speaking of the democratic Borough
ticket the Hour uses this alarming
rhetoric :
“The body of it loaded with dyna-
mite, covered at both ends with honest
material to conceal the nature of the
bomb.”
Then in another place, after pleading
for its utter destruction, in still more
florid phrase it says :
“Then shall the Borough of Norwalk
be redeemed from the incompetent and
disreputable gang who have so long
controlled it.
Then shall we have a Court of Bur-
gesses competent and worthy to man-
age our Bor gh afl‘airs.
Then shal the rumseller be rebuked
as he deserves. .
Then shall the integrity of popular
government be established.
And the powers of Hell shall not pre-
vail against it.” ,

HARVEY Ill. WATTERSON DEAD.
Editor Watterson’s Father and Solo Sur-
vivor of the Twenty-sixth Congress.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 3—1-1011. Harvey Ma.—
gee VVatterson, father of the editor of The
Courier-Journal, died at the home of his
son in this city. He had been sick three
weeks. Harvey Magee Wattersou was
born at Beech Grove, the family home-
stead, Bedford, Tenn, Nov. 23, 1811. Har-
vey Watterson received a classical educa-
tion, and before he was of age had married
and began the practice of law at Shelby-
ville, Tenn.
He was elected in 1885 to the Tennessee
legislature. He was elected by the Demo-
crats, and served in the Twenty’sixth and
Twenty-seventh congresses. In 1847 he
bought and edited the Nashville Union,
and in 1851 was called to be editor of. the
Washington Union. His devotion to the
Union was the master passion of his po-
litical life. In 1861 he was elected to the
convention to consider the secession of
Tennessee.
At the convention, finding all efforts for
union futile, he retired to his home at
Beech Grove. On Johnson’s coming to
the presidency he was called to Washing-
ton and became a trusted adviser. From
1869 to 1879 be practiced law. The last
twelve years he has spent partly in Wash-
ington and partly with his son'here. Mr.
Watterson was the sole, survivor of the
Twenty-sixth congress.

A SGOUNDREL.
In another column of this issue of the
DAILY GAZETTE will be found a notice
to the public, from a hard working,
honest and able blacksmith, ordering
that his wife be not trusted on his ac-
cOunt after this date, as he would pay
no bills of her contracting. The se-
quel of this notice is another illustra-
tion of the weakness of woman and the
baseness of man. ' Not many years ago
“Jack” Lycett, as he was familiarly
called, wedded Jennie L. Poyvez.
Their wedded life was one of happiness,
made doubly so by the birth of three
bright children. To-day that happy
home is destroyed, the wife and mother
driven from her fireside and her child-
ren left motherless, and all through the
dastardly conduct .of a villain, whom,
if justice were meted out to him,would
be tarred and feathered and driven from
the town. For some time past friends
and neighbors, living on Cross street,
have informed “J ack” that James S.
Atwood, an ex-preacher, according to
his own statement, but now a driver on
the Winnipauk branch of the horse
railroad, was making frequent visits to
his wife. “Jack,” like an honorable
. man, would not believe his wife guilty,
but on Thursday last he lay in wait-tori; ‘.
Atwood and surprised him and his. wife -
together in a compromising situationrinfira
her bedchamber. Shocked and wild
with anger, he rushed at Atwood and
caught him by the throat and would
have ended his miserable existence
then and there, but the faithless wife
came to Atwood’s assistance, and suc-
ceeded in releasing him from “Jack,”
and getting him out of the house,which
he left at a break—neck pace. Recover—
ing himself, "J ack” ordered his wife to
“pack up and get out,” which she did,
and now “Jack’s” mother is installed
in his once happy, but now dishonored
home. This is not the first time, report
says , that Atwood, (who, by the way,
is a husband and father), has been
guilty of this kind of conduct, and if
report be true, he should be invited to -
leave town at once, or else be invited
into the state’s prison, where the laws
of. this state consign all' such dastardly
criminals.
President Hyatt this morning dis-
charged Atwood, and he has left town,
it is supposed for New York.
