TH‘E FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
innennnnnnt in all things: nine in nothing.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any- paper in Norwalk,
and furnishes the lowest advertisinir
rates.
The Senatorship.
The Republican caucus committee of
'the Legislature, have, as already an-
nounced, called the caucus to nomi-
nate a candidate for the United States
senatorship at 2 o’clock to-morrow,
Wednesday, afternoon.
The House meets to-morrow at 10:30
and the Senate at noon.
Nearing the End.
Mr. Blaine’s conditioning again alarm-
ing, and it does not seem possible that
he can ' survive much longer. His
disease has. apparently, been doing its
dread work surely, if slowly, since the
painful relapse of a few weeks ago.
All the indications are that this .is the
end of earth to the greatest statesman
and noblest man of this hemisphere if
not of the world.
Presidential Electors.
Pi'esidental electors met at the capi-
tals of all the States yesterday and cast
their votes for President and vice Pres-
ident. The majority of Grover Cleve-
land over all, was 108. The New York
electors at Albany spat in the face of '
the President-elect, by passing a reso-
lution endorsing Murphy for Senator,
despite the protest of Mr. Cleveland.
So Tammany rules throughout.
At Hartford Judge George G. Mc-
Nall of Greenwich was appointed mes-
senger to carry the certificate ofclec-
tion to Washington.
Congress will meet in joint session,
Feb. 8th to count the Electoral votes
and to officially promulgate the result.

A Free Trip to 'Washlngton.
The GAZETTE proposes to present to
the most popular person in town a
railroad ticket from N orwalk to Wash-
ington, D. C. and return on the occa-
sion of the inauguration of President
Grover Cleveland, March 4th 1893, the
popularity to be determined by a vote
of the readers of the GAZETTE, the vot-
ing to close at 8 o’clock p. m. Saturday,
February 25th, 1893, and the result to
be announced on Monday, February
27. In order to facilitate the voting
and for the convenience of the voters
an official ballot will be printed in
these columns every day, which is to
be cut out, and the blank lines filled in
by the voter, with the name and address
of the candidate and sent to the GA-
ZETTE office.

He Judges Others by Himself.
The trouble with the GAZETTE is not
that Mr Pinneo gets his Work done out
of town. but because he gets it at the ‘
Hour ofiice instead of at the GAZETTE
office. If you. do not patronize the CA-
zETTE Mr. Byington is pretty sure to
give you a rap at the very first oppor-
tunity, and Mr. Pinneo is not the first
man, and will probably not be last, to
receive abuse from the B. L. D. for
that very flimsy ransom—Last Week.
To the narrow and venal mind of the
author of the above, who has notorious-
ly done business all his newspaporial
life on the principles above outlined, it
was the most natural thing in the world
that he should thus assail any honor-
able competitor. Let us say that it
would have been impossible for the GA-
ZETTE to have executed Mr. Pinneo’s
order had it been left with us. so over-
crowded with work has our job ofiice
been for the past month. As illustra-
ting the difi‘erent spirit actuating man. let
us state that within the past fortnight
the GAZETTE has declined at least four
profitable orders for printing. because
of its over crowd and has recommended
the parties to take their work to the Hour
oflice. This was perhaps inconsiderate
on the GAZETTE’s part, to have done so
knowing the truth that if you “cast
pearls before a hog, he will turn and,
rend you.” ‘
Towns and the State.
The Hartford Post does a genuine
public service in culling out from the
recent inaugural address of Governor
Russell of Massachusetts the arguments
in which that democratic advocate de-
fends the rights and sovereignties of the
towns, and points out their just and his-
torical claim to political equality.
Gov. Russell points out that the jeal-
ous assertion of town rights, cheerfully
assented to by the state, is preserved in
the very wording of the laws establish-
ing new towns in Massachusetts,-—“and
that the said town he and hereby is ves-
ted w1th all the powers, privileges and
immunities that any Other of the towns
do or may by law exercise and enjoy.”
“All towns,” says Governor Russell,
“are placed upon an equality based up-
on the right of home rule.” (He quotes
the decisions of supreme, courts and
the utterances of accepted leaders” in
statecraft and government to demon-
strate the importance of this town au-
tonomy. He declares that, until recent
years, it was ”universally recognized
and rescpected, and received the com-
mendation of statesmen, historians and
thinkers.” He refers to Jefi’erSUn’s
declaration that the t0wn system was
the wit of man for the perfect exercise
of self government and for its preserva-
tion. Hequotes also such foreign stu-
dents of our system as De Tocqueville
and Professor Byrcc, the latter of
whom describes the New England
towns as being “to this day the true
units of political life in New England,
the solid foundation of that well com:
piloted structure of self government
which European philosophers have ad-
mired, and the new states of the west
have sought to reproduce.” ,
On the grounds of public welfare,
of party policy, of patriotic and con.
servative statesmanshin, Governor Rus-
sell pleads and argues against any
abridgment of the equal sovereignties
and equal rights and equal powers of
the Massachusetts towns.
In this state, on partisan grounds,
rays the Norwich Bulletin,Governor
Morris pleads and argues for a discrim-
ination between the towns, the politi-
cal units of state life.
The two governors are squarely op-
posed to each other in their attitude
towards the towns.
Why ?
The answer is very simple :—because
in Massachusetts party advantage seems
to lie, for the moment, in defending
the towns, while in Connecticut party
advantage seems to lie, for the mo-
ment, in recasting the towns.
Now we will leave it to any thought-
ful man if a system of government,
honored with the acceptance of a com-V
munity’s whole existence, tried and
proven Worthy by the test of a phe-
nomenally successful experience, the
object of admiration to all outside obr
servers and the example towards imi-
tation of which the whole race tends as
human liberties broaden,—if such a
system of government should be made
the football of partisanship“. to be
tossed hither and you, kicked across
the field or out of it, according to the
shifting calls of changing part-y whims ?
Election time has past, for this year.
The'stress and fury of party combat
can well be laid aside, now, and think-
ing men can afford to discuss such a
matter without regard to party bias or
party benefit. ‘
What is best for the state,—best this
year and next year and for the-hun-
dred years to come ?——that is‘the ques-
tion which sober-minded and thought.
ful citizens are to consider :—not what
is best for this, that or the other party
this year or next election. .

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. — The electors
chosen to carry out the will of the people,
expressed at the polls last November, met
in the capitals ofvarious States at noon
yesterday. After casting their votes they
signed three certificates of the result.
One of these was delivered to an elector
appointed to take charge of it and carry
it in person to the seat of. Government
and deliver it to the President'of the
Senate. The second certificate was sent
by mail to the same destination, and the
third is to be delivered to‘ the, United
States District Judge for the district in
which the electors meet. '
So far 30 of the States have complied
with the law requiring the result of the
vote to be filed with the Senate, although
the election was held two months ago.
Congress is required to be in joint session
to count the electoral vote at 1 o’clock on
the second Wednesday in February after
the meeting of the electors. This will be
February 6. It is possible that objections
may be raised to some of the votes from
California, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio ahd
Oregon, and in this event the law provides
that the th0 Houses shall separate, con-
sider the obiections and report their
findings. The count cannot proceed until
each objection has been disposed of. The
announcement of the vote is by law a
sufficient and constitutional declaration
of the election of the candidates.
The total number of votes was 444' ,
necessary for choice, 223. Cleveland ha
277, Harrison 145 and Weaver 22.
Mr. Cleveland’s plurality over Presi-
dent Harrison is 132, and his majority
over all 108. The distribution of. the,
electoral vote is approximately as follows:
Mr. Cleveland, 62.2 per cent.; President
Harrison, 32.4 per cent.,and Gen. Weaver,
.5;4 per cent; - ‘
The electoral votes of four States are
divided. President Harrison received 22
of the 23 votes of Ohio, the other being
cast for Mr. Cleveland. 0f the 14 votes
of Michigan President Harrison received
nine and Mr. Cleveland live. In' Cali-
fornia President Harrison got one vote
and Mr. Cleveland eight, while three of
Oregon’s four votes were given to Presi-
dent Harrison and one to Gen. Weaver.
Two of the Democratic electors in Illin-
ois were ineligible, but all cast their
votes for Cleveland in executive session. ,
