True Nobilitv.
Governor McKinley will have the
general and sincere sympathy of all
fair-minded citizens throughout the
country in his financial misfortune.
He is utterly bankrupted by business
failure that was not of his own direc-
tion, and he falls like manv other gen-
erous men, by his faith in his friends.
His invalid wife has given the coun-
try an illustration of the noblest Ameri-
can womanhood. She has an ample
fortune to meet the frugal wants of her
husband and herself, and when it is all
givenit is insufficient to meet all claims,
but she has insisted that her husband’s
credit is more valuable than gold, and
her entire estate has been given to
creditors regardless of the protests of
her friends.

~Presldenta.l Courtesies.
“In what are now too often called
the good old days of the fathers of the
Republic, says the Philadelphia Times,
John Adams exhibited the oflicial dig-
nity and decency of the times by com-
missioning a lot of midnight Judges
on the 3d of March, 1801, ' and fleeing
from the Executive Mansion in the
early morning hours of the 4th, to
avoid the necessity of extending any
official or personal courtesies to Jef-
ferson, who had defeated Adams in
1800. Jefferson clad in a full suit of
homespun, mounted his horse; rode to
the Capitol without pomp or ceremony,
hitched his horse to a convenient gate
post, delivered his inaUgural address
and rode back to the empty home of
the Presidents with only vacancy and
silence to welcome him.
When John Quincy Adams was suc-
ceeded by Jackson on the 4th of March,
1829, there was mutual ill-temper on
both sides to jar the inaugural cere-
monies. The younger Adams managed
to exhibit a little of frigid politeness
but there was an entire absence of
personal or official courtesies. In 1869,
when Grant succeeded Johnson, we
had the last exhibition of churlishness.
Gen. Grant and Johnson hated each
other with all the intensity of their
natures and both were conspicuous as
good haters. It was known that J ohn-
son would not ride with or receive
Grant and it was known also that Grant
would not ride with or receive John-
son. There was nomisunderstanding;
no love lost ; no disappointments. J ohn-
son fired off‘ a farewell address through
the public press advising the nation to
repudiate its war debt, and hustled off
in an early train for his Tennessee
home, while Grant rode alone to the
Capitol and returned to be received by
the servants at the, White House.
The era of broad-gauge American
courtesy on inauguration day began
with President Arthur. He ’made
Cleveland the guest of honor at a
White House dinner the day before
inauguration, and he accompanied the
President—elect to the Capitol, sitting
on the right on the way to the inaugu-
ration and on the left on the return.
Iu'1889, Cleveland extended the same
courtesies to Harrison, who was enter-
tained at the White House by the de-
feated President, and next Saturday
Harrison will extend the same gener-
ous courtesies to the coming president
who defeated him at the late election.
Harrison will leave Washington in the
afternoon of inauguration day, but not
until he shall have extended to his
successor every possible courtesy and
proved to the nation his just apprecia-
tion of the dignity of the ofiice and the
savereignty of the American people.”

struck the horse car tracks near t e

bins was assisted into the H.,\K. & S.

.she had sustained serious injury but
she was about all right yesterday, the
injury being confined to a severe bruise
on her knee. Theother occupants of
the sleigh escaped injury. The sleigh-
ride was poStponed. The horse did
not attempt to run away nor was the
sleigh damaged.
Are Animals immortal ?
Or, “Where is my Dog”? is a very-
entertaining little book by Rev. C. J.
Adams, Rector at Roundout on the
Hudson and recently issued by Fowler
& Wells 27 East 2lst, N. Y. In this
little book the author tries to show that
man possesses the physical and many
mental faculties in common with the
beast. He argues that all animal life is
indestructible and that in a large de-
gree, the lower animals possess the
spiritual nature of man and claims that
there is not any augment in favor of
man’s immortality that cannot be plaus-
ibly made for our dumb friends. The
unpretentious little book will really re-
pay a thoughtful reading.
‘ An Exciting Contest.
Never in the history of Norwalk has
greater excitment prevailed over a triv-
ial matter than that which stirred up the
multitude Saturday night during the
closing hours of the GAZETTE’s free in-
auguration ticket contest. The GAZ-
ETTE counting room, lobby and the
stairs leading up into the GAZETTE
building, were so densely packed with
an eager but good natured crowd that
it required the best efforts of the police
to enable anyone to gain an entrance.
The excited~crowd also blocked the
sidewalk in front of the entrance and it
was with difficulty that pedestrians
could force their way through the
throng. The intense interest in the
contest was something astonishing.

ROGER Woo/svsws. a-
On Monday. January 9th, the GA-
ZETTE offered a. free presidential inaug-
uration ticket to the most popular per-
son in Norwalk, to be determined b
ballot. Many thousands of these ba -
lots have been sent in and chronicled
by us from day to day. Throughout
the contest, a spirit of innocent frivoli-
ty and fun seems to have inspired a
preponderating vote for the genial and
Witty “Mayor of Cobble Hill,” for he
at once jumped to the head of the list
and has constantly maintained a lead.
In the final count the four highest
contestants stand as follows:
Rhody McGinnis, 20,238
James M. Ureagh, 9.257
Isaac Bowe, 4.850
W. H. J ohnson, 3,917
From, the above it will be seen that
by the deliberate choice of the people
Mr. McGinnis is accredited to be Nor-
walk’s delegate to the Cleveland inaus-
ural ceremonies in Washington on Sat-
urday next, and we understand that he
isto be escorted to the depot on Friday
With special ‘ ‘pomp and circumstance.”
.In this connection, a brief sketch of
the local personage, who to-day awakes
to fame, 'is appropriate and due Mr.
McGinnis and his grand army of sup-
porters.
. Roger McGiunis, or “ Rhody ” as he
is more familiarly called, was born in
County Leitrim, parish of Mohil, Ire;
land, sixty-two years ago. He sailed
for America in the good ship Victor,
Capt. Tucker of the Black Ball line, in
1853, leaving his wife in Ireland for
seven years, until he had earned and
saved money enough to bring her over
the Atlantic to him. After coming to
Norwalk, he worked for three years on
the LeGrand Lockwood place. Then
he was employed by the Union Manu-
facturing Company where he remained
sixteen years and next went to the
Lounsbury & Bissell factory and
worked there five years, since which
time he has been a general laborer,’
Borough contractor, etc. He has one
child, Mrs. John Duffy, and three
grandchildren. He owns. his house at
Cobble Hill and several building lots,
and is reported to have quite a little
nest-egg laid away for old age or a
“rainy day.” He has always been a
remarkably strong, healthy and indus-
trious man, and as he rides about our.
town, mounted in his cart behind his
well kept horse, with his short stub of
a pipe lolling about his mouth, no titled.
lord in the land of his nativity 'bobbing
in his jaunting car, is such a perfect
picture of contentment and happiness
as honest “ Rhody ” McGinnis.
In politics McGinnis is somewhat of»
a Mugwump, but while his tendencies
are democratic, he is really more ,of a
Cleveland man than a thick and thin
Democrat, and no one could have been
prouder of his triumph or more truly
grateful to his hosts of friends for their
votes than he.
In all seriousness, it may be said,
that there will be thousands of lockers-
‘on at the great inaugural parade next
Saturday, far less worthy of the respect
and regard of all good people, than the
Cobble Hill winner of the GAZETTE
prize of a free excursion ticket to Wash-
ington. .
The GAZETTE is under special obliga-
tion to Messrs. James Sutherland, J.
E. B. Sayre and L. L. Sherwood, for
their herculean labor in counting and
verifying the enormous numbers of
votes cast in this apparently most
heartily enjoyed contest. ' 1

ciated. As a fun maker,George Wilson

troupe in their truly wonderful feats in
balancing, high wire acts, etc., were by
far the best that have ever appeared
here. ‘Altogether, Wilson’s minstrels
are Equal to any that are now on the

sel. We called Mr. Warner in, stated
the case to him and asked for a written
opinion, which was furnished and is
now on file in the office of the Town
Clerk. The Board were all of the opin-
ion that we ought to accept his conclu-
sions, and we followed his advice to the
letter. No vote was taken on the ques-
tion, and Mr. Seymour wishes it to be '
distinctly understood that he never
told any body that he was overruled
by his associates. The only disagree—
ment was as to the amount of reduc-
tion: Among other things Mr. Warner
advised us that we could not act on an
application for an abatement unless
made personally.

. ' Gone West.
For some weeks past, it has been no-
ticed that Samuel Foster and Allie
Bates have been “hob-nobbing” to-
gether, and also that the subject of
their conservation was in the main on
matters pertaining to the grand an
wooly west. The sequel of all this was
learned yesterday morning, when it
leaked out that the young men had
left town on an early train. and some-
one in their confidence said the young
men had gone west to seek their for- -
tune. There is nothing “crooked” in ‘
their transactions, and no cause other
than “ambition” is so for assigned for
their what to many seems to be a sud-
den departure. Mr. Foster was em-
ployed at the freight depot in this place
of the Consolidated road, and Bates
was a trusted employee of “Dick”
Mitchell. Both are reported as “being
of ago.” Their friends will wish them
abundant prosperity. Mr. Mitchelljs
first authentic information that his
clerk had left him was the receipt of
the following letter : "
,New York, Feb. 26th.
FRIEND Diem—You will haye to get
some one in my place as I Will not be-
home. I am going West.
