'Home Politics.
NorWalk Town and City officers for
another year, are to be elected on Mon-
day next. . To-night, the republican
caucus for the nomination of a city
ticket is to be held'and if the very gen-
eral wish of the best men of all parties
is reSpected, the task will be made
short and easy, bv a renomination of
our present officers. It is rumored
that 'Mayor Keeler Would prefer not to
be a candidate for re-election. Should
he insist, Councilmen Adams or Boyer
are named as most likely to be selected
to fill the vacancy.
No mistake will be made if the full
board as it now stands is again put in
nomination. If a change is unavoida-
ble, care must be taken to fill the va-
cancy with a first class candidate.
Seldom if ever, was such unanimtiy
expressed in Norwalk for acontinuance
of a solid board of its officials.
The Republican‘Town caucus is to be
held to-morrow night. The present
board, with Comrade Bradley S. Keith
of Winnipauk, and Ephraim Thomes,
of Five Mile River, are the leading can-
didates for Selectmen. The friends of
both Keith and Thomes, present very
strong reasons why their candidates
should be nominated.
The old board-is strongly assailed in
certain quarters, for violating an ex-
press vote of the ‘town in the payment
of 3500 to an alleged night school teach-
er who was never legally appointed.
Others charge" ’them with too liberal
and too easy compliance with the de-
mands for town‘ 'aid and with having
paid out unwarranted and unearned
sums to a favored road repairer above
Winnipauk. If renominated the old
board Will have to satisfactorily meet
and answer for these errors of judge-
ment, or incur the risk of defeat.
But it is to the selection of the minor
offices of the town, the caucus must
give a more careful and serious atten-
tion than ever before if it'would secure
success at the polls. Whether wisely
or unwisely, the fact is, that the united
moral and religious sentiment of the
town is awakened and actively alive as
never before, to the selection of pure
and upright men of wisdom and dis-
cretion for the positions of Justices,
Constables, Grand Jurors and the like.
In these town and city contests, state
and national politics do not hold our
voters to regulation nominees, and it is
the part of wisdom for both parties to
select candidates above criticism and
who deserve and have the public con-
fidence and favor. A word to the wise,
etc. .
Democratic State Convention.
The Democrats at New Haven yester-
day, had a harmonious . convention.
Whatever differences of opinion were
expressed at the preliminary county
meetings of the previous evenings, all
ill-tempered rivalries were cast aside
when the great body of Connecticut’s
representative democrats assembled
in open convention Tuesday. As stated
in the GAZETTE’S special dispatch from
the convention yesterday, but two can-
didates were'named to head the ticket.
They were both able men, distinguished
for conspicuous service both to their
state and party. There was nothing
but the fairest and most friendly rival-
ry exhibited between their respective
advocates and friends. As both re-
ceived so large an indorsement from
the convention, for first place, it was
good politics to give second place, as
was done, to the candidate with the
fewer votes. The ticket is an except-
ionally strong one. .
There was a deep undercurrent in
favor of Mr. E. C. Benedict, and his
positive refusal to accept the nomina-
tion, only saved him from being the .
nominee for Governor. The whole
ticket is as follows:
For Governor,
ERNEST B. CADY,
of Hartford.
For Lieutenant-Governor,
MORRIS B. BEARDSLEY,
of Bridgeport.
For Secretary of State,
EDWARD G. KILDUFF,
of Waterbury.
For Comptroller,
NICHOLAS STAUB,
'of New Milford.-
For Treasurer,
STEPHEN E. BOWEN,
of Eaetford.
The platform will natually draw out
wider comment and severer-criticism
from their opponents. 1t declares
loyalty to the Constitution of the
United States and expresses continued
confidence in President Cleveland ;
congratulates the people on the tariff
revisi'on; advocates a change of our
state -constitution.60 as to secure equi-
table legislative grepresentation ; do.)
.nounces the A....P.. A. -vig0rously-,~-and
declares'for the fullest civil and relig-
ious liberty ; condemns the corrupt use
of money in elections ;' the acceptance
,of free passes on railroads by public
officials; demands economy and re-
duction in state taxes; prudent man-
agement of the school fund; compli-
ments Governor Morris and his asso-
ciates ‘and finally commends the ticket
to the sufi‘erages of the people.
The convention was largely attended
by the prominent men of the party,
outside of the delegates, and was an
imposing body of men. ~
Obituary. i '
MRS. ROBERT BOUTON.
The funeral of one of the most vener-
able residents of Fairfield county, Mrs.
Robert Bouton, of Canoe Hill, was at-
tended Tuesday afternoon. The de-
ceased was born in the year 1800, and
married in 1821, a grand nephew of
Esaias Bouton, who lived at Belden’s
Point, and who died in the spring of
1821. She wasa daughter of Nathan
Warren of the Revolutionary period.
Her father and Joseph Warren of
Boston Hill, who was visited in 1774,
(if an old N orwalkdocument can be re-
,lied upon,) by Ma]. Gen. Joseph War-
"'ren, were, perhaps, brother’s sons.
Her grandfather. Nathan Warren, was
of the Queens Village, L. I. stock,
which settled Norwalk. The aged
lad sfaculties have been well preserved
andyher old time mentions have been
highly interesting. She was buried
by Rev. Mr. Sellcck, the text of whose
address was the same passage employed
by the rector of St. Paul’s church
seventy years ago, over the remains of
one of her Warren kin.
Wants Keith.
EDITOR GAZETTE :~Ii desire to en-
dorse ‘ ‘Comrade’s” letter in yesterday’s
GAZETTE recommending Bradley S.
Keith for one of our select-men.
“Brad” has worked in season and out
of season for the success of the Repub-
lican party without reward, and if he
now desires the nomination for select-
man the Republicans ou ht to give it
to him. The fact that innipauk has
never been represented on the board is
another good reason why“Brad” should
be nominated. N orwalk and East Nor-
walk, especially the latter, have had
the office continuously for a number of
years and it is time that the claims of
Winnipauk republicans be given some
consideration. I hope that every G.
A. man will attend the caucus
Thursday night and assist' in givmg
“Brad” a rousing big mayoritcy.

Died of Her injuries
Mrs. Phoebe E. Knapp died Tuesday
at her home in Easton from the effects
of an injury sustained in falling down
stairs Sunday. Mrs. Knapp, who was
rather feeble, made a misstep in de-
scending the stairway and fell head
first, landing heavily. Dr. Hill. who
was summoned to attend her, found
that her neck had been dislocated. The
dislocated joint was replaced by rs.
Hill and Lauder and for a time after
the operation Mrs. Knapp seemed to
improve, but the shock was too great for
her and she died as above. She Was 71
years old, and the widow of the late
George Knapp. ‘
bult for $20,000.
The case of John Collins against the

dragged after it. Collins had his legs
cut off and his companion was killed.
The suit is for $20,000. ,
O
Paralyzed in a Boat.
Asaph Remington, 72 years old, of
Bridgeport, sustained a paralytic shock
while rowing in a boat on Yellow Mill
pond, last evening. The boat floated
ashore where it was discovered by a
man named Callahan. The man was
unconscious and was suffering from a
chill. He had been lying in the boat
for over an hour and would no doubt
have perished but for his timely dis-
covery. -

Nominate Citygollicers.
Horace E. Dann Declines a N'omin
ation for Mayor. . , ,
The Democratic city caucus was held
at the Town House last night, but did
not succeed in placing in nomin ation a
city ticket. . v
Collector Edgar N. Sloan was elected
chairman and Bernard C..Feeney sec-
retary. The chairman appomted Messrs.
Thomas .Hunt James Costello, John
Germley and John Malone, tellers.
On motion of John Malone it was
voted that the nominations be by bal-
lot on‘a table in front of the chairman,
the first ballotfor each candidate to be
an informal one. ’
' An informal ballot was cast for the
office of Mayor, resulting as follows :
Horace E. Dann, 28 _
Charles L. Glover, 9 ’
Dennis Lane, 3
Scattering, 5
Charles L. Glover declined to be a
candidate, and it was voted that the
ballot be made formal and Horace E.
Dann was declared nominated. .
An informal ballot for first council-
man was taken with the following re-
sult :
Peter Decker, 27
Thomas Ward, 4
James T. Hubbell, 7
Scattering, 9
Mr. Ward declined .to be a candidate
and the nomination of Mr. Decker was
made formal. .
“Dan” Honnecker suggested that the
chair appoint a committee to wait upon
Mr. Dann and advise him of his nomin-
ation, and the chair promptly appointed
“Dan” such a committee. On his re'
turn he said that-Mr. Dann positively,
declined to head the ticket.
Ex-Burgess William McMullen then
arose and said, “We ought to nomi-
nate the best men. There was no use
in nominating men we can’t elect. It
would only give us a worse name than
we’ve got now and we have got a bad
enough one now.”
Chairman Sloan announced that he
had been advised that there was those
present who were voting and were not
residents of the city. This they had
no right to do.
William Mitchell asked if he referred
to him, as he himself was not sure as to
his privileges, but had been advised
that he had a perfect right to vote at
the caucus.
The chairman in answer said that he
did not refer to Mr. Mitchell, who he
believed was entitled to a vote in the
caucus. ‘
An informal ballot was taken for
second councilman the result of which
the tellers announced to be :
James T. Hubbell, 17
Augustus 0.,Golden, 5
Scattering, 10
The chair announced that no choice
had been made, and ordered another
ballot taken. “Dan” Honnecker rose
and asked that the names on— the ballots
announced as “scattering” be read.
His modest request was granted and
Teller Gormley read as follows:
' William Mitchell, 2 ; Thomas Ward,
2; John A. Riggs, 2 ; Robert Mont-
gomery, 2 ; Dan Honnecker, 2.
Honnecker listened with an air of
satisfaction to the ‘ calling 011' of the
scattering vote.
William Mitchell made a motion that
the chairman appoint a committee of
ten to prepare a city ticket and present
it to the caucus.
It was so voted and Chairman Sloan
appointed William Mitchell, James T.
Hubbell, John J. Walsh, Nicholas Mar-
tin, Georgc Murray, John Malone,
John Gormley, Daniel Honnecker,
Thomas Hunt and Charles Glover as
such committee. Mr. Glover declined
to serve and W. H. Olmstead was sub-
stituted. 4
Robert Adams recommended the
name of Samuel Weed to the committee
for one of the councilmen.
Afters five minute’s session of the
committee Mr. Hubbell stated to the
caucus that they were unable to make
up a ticket in such short time, as it was
not known that the candidates selected
would allow their names to be used,
and he suggested that the committee
be continued and be instructed to re
port at a city caucus to be held at the
close of the town caucus next Friday
night. ,
_ It was so voted and the caucus ad-
Journed until that evening.

Dled of Grief.
Alexander P. Glendenning died on
Monday evening, at No. 365 Quincy
street, Brooklyn,from paralysis, caused,
his family believe, by grief over the
drowning of his daughter, Miss Marion
Glendenning, and his grandchild, Miss
Katie Kutz, at Saybrook, Conn., three
weeks ago. The young women were
bathing in the river at that place, and
ventured beyond their depth, as told in
the GAZETTE at that time.
Shortly afterward Mr. Glendening
told his son that he did not think he
would' live long. On Friday he’was
stricken with paralysis while at his place
of business. -
He was sixty-six years old, and had
’ lived in Brooklyn twenty-six years. The
deceased wasnn uncle of Letter car-
rier Percy Glendening, of this city.

Both Fights a Draw. .

Notwithstanding the fact that a num-
ber of arrests were made the athletic
carnival of the Olympic club continued-
last night. .
The six round go between Young
Grifi‘o and Mike Dunn'of Australia,
was a hot one and resulted in a draw.-

ton Abbott and Jack Eberhard. for a

Park- City Opera House. at Bridgeport
Far-newcrth of New Haven made. the,
opening speech, intwh‘ich. he referred-
to the work .of the republican league
throughout the state. Stiles Judson,
J r.,.of Stratford spoke of the political
issues that confronted the vorters in
Connecticut. .- , .
Mr. Cofiin was given a great welcome
when he arose to- speak. He spoke at
some length and began by reading a
speech that he delivered eight years
ago when the democrats had the Presi-
dent and House and were trying to get
the Senate. He said then that if. they
were in full power their tariff legislation
would be disastrous'to the interests of
the country, and now that they have
control he sees nothing to change his
views of the democratic policy. The
cause of protection should be strength-
ened,by a good sound republican ma-
jority in this state which has been con-
sidered doubtful.
Colonel William C. Mowry, candidate
for secretary of the state, spoke for’a
few minutes. His physicians had ad-
vised him not to attend. but he said he
had‘ been wellprepaird for taking the
risk. '
Attorney John :H. Light spoke in
part as follows :
“It is true that I am not on the pro.
gram, and so I will not inflict a speech
on you: One of the greatest advan-
tagcs of being born a republican is
that a man doesn’t have to be born
again. Every man that has read ‘Amer-
ican history intelligently knows “that
every page of prosperity was written
by the republican party and every page
of dishonor, disaster and misfortune
has been written by the democratic
party.” ,;
closing remarks b the chairman the
meeting closed. ’ here were delega-
tions from N orwalk, Hartford and New
Haven and other parts of the state. A
parade of the clubs about the principal
streets of the city occurred after the
arrival of the delegations, and red fire
and other fireworks were set off all
along the line of march.
_ Restored the Money.
Some days ago a Woman sent her 16-
year old son out ’to collect money for
her. The collections amounted to some
$4.80. The lad Went into what is known
as Hefiernan’s saloon, and it is said lost
the whole amount in a nickel-in-the-
slot machine. The woman learning of
the fact went to the saloon and demand-
ed a restitution of the money. This was
refused. She then complained to a
certain grand Juror, who interviewed
the saloon keeper and at first met with
the same reply as did the woman... The
grand Juror explained to the saloon-
keeper what he probably already knew,
that he was liable to arrest not only for
having a nickel-in-the-slot machine in
his saloon but also for allowing a minor
to frequent the place. He then became
frightened and told the grand Juror to
send the woman around and he would
make a satisfactory settlement with her
which he did by refunding her the
money.
The question arises; How many nick-
el-in-the-slot machines are being run in
this city in open defiance of the law ?
“Can’t Be Did.”
It is reported that at a meeting of the
East Norwalk Republicans, Frank Con-
ley and Justice George D. Keeler, both
of whom have recently moved to that
district, were slated for constable and
Justice of the peace respectively and
would be presented at the caucus of the
First district,in the Town House Thurs-
day evening, as the choice of East N or-
walk. '
In view of the fact that both Conley
and Keeler are on the Second district
voting list and must vote at South Nor-
walk, as the town registrars have made
no changes, they cannot legally be nom-
inated in t 9 First, district.

ARMED TO RESIST KAFFIRS.
Expected Attack on a Portuguese Town
on Delagoa Bay.
LOURENCO MARQUES, Delagoa Bay,
Sept. 26.—.—Several thousand Kafi‘irs are
threatening to attack this town- The gov-
ernment has distributed arms among the
white population for defense. Serious
trouble is expected.
Lourenco Marques is a walled Portu-'
guess town of Africa, on the north side of
Delagoa buy. It has a good harbor,"whlch
gives it considerable importance in 'the
trade with the Transvaal. The town has
tested by a number of roughly constructed
old forts. It is situated in the southern
part of the province of Portuguese East
Africa, which extends- along the coast
from the mouth of the Zambezi to Delagoa
bay and is bounded inland by Mashona-
The Transvaal leaders have long been
anxious to secure control of the Bologna
Bay railroad, and they have also been
ambitious to have/a seaport, Lourenco
Marques preferred. With this object in
View, the Boers recently sent the. sum of
$250,000 to London in order to purchase
the bonds which Portugal is expected to
issue as soon as the Born arbitrators have
decided the question of boundaries. A
few days ago, on Sept. 15, advices from
Pretoria said that the Transvaal govern-
ment had acquired the prior rights in Del-
agoa bay, including control of the port
dues, thus giving the Transvaal a com-
mending position and free :access to the
sea. '
