- . flu." g; f 4 scalartcly luggpenifent, ‘l' WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 24, 1804, . The Daily some, established in 1890 The Weekly Gazette in 1800. Protection for Americans. Not only does every intelligent and patrioticAmerican citizen desire pro- tection for our. various manufacturing industries, but the time has now come when he must demand, as well, protec- tion from the debased hordes of cheap laborers flooding our shores. It is even more fatal to our national . prosperity, to have these pauper and largely criminal classes pouring into this country by the tens of thousands, . as they have been doing, than for them to remain at home, and have the pro- duct of the'few who can do factory labor for pauper pay, sent over here free of duty. Cannot the dullest mind comprehend the destructive evils of both systems. Free trade in goods, in fact, is far less to be dreaded, than free trade in these undesirable immi- grants. So in the coming election, let strict partisanship for once be thrust aside and our votes cast only for such candidates as will stand by Protection for American Manufacturers and Amer- ican Workingmen. - Let good government and protection be the issue. We hope that every citi- zen will deem it such, and keep it con- stantly in mind from now until sunset of November 6. Let every voter who has the restoration of business pros- perity and the cause of good govern-1 ment atheart, yield to the dictates of his own conscience or intelligence, and not to the demand of any clique or party and cast his vote accordingly. And may the best man Win. Should Not be Granted. 'Maurice McGrath, who keeps asa- loon at Winnipauk, "has applied by the way of South Norwalk for a renewal Of his license to sell intoxicants. , The citizens of Winnipauk who have the intereéts Of their locality at heart should combine and protest against the granting of a license to this resort. On last Saturday night a disgraceful fight took place in this saloon, and the pro- fane language indulged in by the parti- cipants was plainly~ heard by the occu- pants of a trolley car standing on‘ the track some distance away. Passers-by have often been regaled with profane language eminating from this Saloon and fights are of no unusal occurrence, and it is time that the place was closed, which the residents Of Winni- pauk can easily accomplish If they Will combine and oppose the granting of a license. v'v Man Shot at Easton. M , Sunda night the house of oses Ogden, it Easton, was robbed. Mrs. Sherwood, a daughter of Ogden, tracked the thieves to a clump of bushes, where the plunder was found h1dden. Mon- day night men watched the booty, but the thieves failed to appear. Tuesday Edward Hill, a farmer, and Wm. R059, a farm hand, watched for the thieves. At 8 o’clock they heard the men ap- proaching. When they were near Hill cried “halt.” A gunshot answered the command, the bullet whizzing by the watcher’s heads.' Hill fired in the direction of the flash and heard a man groan. Another was fired, but it missed. The watchers made an examination and found a dead man who had been shot through the head. The dead man was recognized as James Donnelly, who lived a mile away. Ocroner Doton was notified and will hold an inquest to-day. Hit the Nail, etc. Our old friend “Billy” Monahan, got off a good election bon mot last night. Being full of the spirit of pro. tection and reform, he shouted, “It’s the dimmecrats in Congress as made us all the hard times and threw _us b’ys out uvworruck and its afther votin for Hill, all we b’ys is goin to do, for he sthands fur protection and is agin ould Eng~ land, bad ’cess to her.” The GAZETTE’S classical reporter at once ejaculated “in vinoveritas.” A-‘ V'v His Wife Dead Beslde Hlm. Mrs. Margaret Hyland, wife of Pat- rick Hyland, was found dead in bed at her home in Bridgeport, at noon yes- terday. Mrs. Hyland retired Monday night in apparent good health and was breathing regularly when her husband returned early yesterday morning. It was noon when he awoke to find that his wife was dead. Her body was cold and death had evidently ensued several hours before. The Colonel Again. It is reported that the Democrats of the Second Voting district will place in nomination for Representative our pre- sent'selectman, Colonel Samuel Das~ kam.

E. E.'Crowe_ hie-GETS Nominated both R’ecount‘Shiiws Colonel I - Frost Won. " Mr. Crowe Resigns When Convinc- ed of the Mistake. At the Republican caucus of the Sec- ond district, held in Arion Hall, last night, Edmund E. Crowe was declared nominated as the candidate of the Re- publican party from South Norwalk, for representative in the General As- sembly. Aspirited fight between the friends of Mr. Crowe and Col. Russell Frost had been waged and. the former had been announced as the successful candidate. '. Through the curiOSity of a newspaper reporter, the ballot was recounted in the presence of witnesses, and instead of Mr. Crowe having been nominated, it was ascertained that Col. Frost had received the nomination and had been counted out. The caucus was called to order at 8 O’clock and John H. Light was chosen chairman. Mr. Fred. H. Quinlan} was elected secretary. The chair appointed as tellers CharlesflW. Stow, F. S. riyon, Jr., Dr. F. W. Darmer, Joseph J. Goodwin, A. W. Hathaway and Ed- ward Dibble. Nominations were called for, and Mr. Charles W. Hallock presented the name of Col. Russell Frost, which was. seconded by Mr. Charles E. Jennings. The name of Edmund E. Crowe was presented by Councilman John W. Scully. On motion of T. I. Raymond an informal ballot was taken, which resulted as fol- lows : Whole number of votes cast 370 Necessary to a choice 180 E. E, Crowe 18:: Russell Frost 150 R. H. Rowan 27 ’ Scattering 3 On motion Of Mr. Raymond a formal ballot was taken and each voter was required to come forward and cast his ballot in a hat on the presiding Ofiicer’s table. _ As the voters came forward it was noticed that a large number of Demo- crats were present and voting, and that a. number of voters from the First dis- trict were also present voting for a candidate. After the box closed the tellers counted the ballots, and as each - counter called out the number of his ballots they were placed in Secretary Quintard’s hat. The counting of this vote took an unusually long time and during the interim Mr. Charles E. Jennings arose and suggested that each Of the candi- dates have an inspcctor to watch the count. This brought Mr. Crowe to his feet with the statement that he had every confidence in the honesty and ability of the counters and he did nqt desire a supervisor, but that it his opponent, Col. Frost, desired one, he had no ObjectiOn to Offer. Col. Frost immediately arose and stated that he had no doubt but what the counters would count correctly. The matter was therefore dropped and the secretary announced the result of the ballot as follows: W ole number of votes cast 389 ecessary to a choice 195 E. E. Crowe 190 Russell Frost 175 R. H. Rowan l7 Scattering 1 When the result was announced, the hall resounded with applause, and Col. Frost stepped forward and in a. few well chosen remarks moved to make the nomination unanimous, which was done. Mr. Crowe was. called upon for a speech and arose and thanked the can- cus for the honor conferred upon tum, and promised that if elected, his efforts would be towards the city’s benefit. He also stated that he had made _ no effort 'whatever to secure the nomina- tion, but his friends had taken charge Of the matter with 'the result already known. - The caucus then proceeded to the nomination Of Justices of the Peace, and Alonzo W. Smith, Charles W Bell F. S. Lyon and F. A. Tolles were nomi. nated and the caucus adjourned, During the balloting for J nations the GAZETTE representative was shown a ballot with the name of E. E. Crowe upon it which had been handed out. by man outside of the door, who had a Iarge package and was distributing them to voters as they entered the hall. The party insisted that the ballots were in Mr. Crowe’s own handwriting. When asked to give the ballot to the reporter he declined, saying that there were plenty Of them about. As Mr. Crowe had stated that he had made no effort to secure the nomina~ tion, and as the ballots appeared to be in his handwriting, the reporter decided to Obtain one if possible. Approaching the presiding Officer’s table he endeav- ored to find a ballot, but not a repre- sentative ticket could be found either on the desk, the floor, or stage where the vote had been counted. He then asked the Secretary where the ballots were and was informed that he had each and every one in his pocket. This being the case the Secretary was asked to allow the ballot to be recounted, which he consented to do after the caucus. After the first ballot for Justices of the Peace was counted, Charles ,W. Stow, one Of the counters, took the ballots and endeavored to stuff them into the Secretary’s pocket, on top of the representative ballots reposing there. A number of them did get into the pocket, but as they contained differ- ent names from those on the represen-. tative ballots, they were easily separ- ated. Prior to this, Stow had also made an "ineffectual attempt to secure the representative ballots for the purpose, as he said, “to burn them in the stove in the back room.” As soon as the caucus adjourned the ballots were taken to the Sentinel office on Washington street, and after sorting out the Justice ballots, bearing the names of A. W. Smith, C. W. Bell, F. S. Lyon, F.‘A. Tolles, E. Wilcox and D. Dunlop, they were counted by the GAZETTE and Sentinal representatives. The ballots were found to be as follows: Whole number 380 Russell Frost 191 E. E. Crowe 171 R. H. Rowan 17 Scattering 1 As 191 votes ‘were necessary to a choice, it was seen that Co], Frost had been vnOminated instead of Mr. E. E. Crowe._ ... ,, When these facts, were asc‘ertained,l Mr. Golden, editor cf the Sentinel, was sent for, and also Col. Frost, and they were requested to count the ballots, which they , did, and ‘IIfcund them as- stated above. 7': It was then decidedto call in severaI; representative” men at '10 o’clock this morning, together with Mr. Crowe and Col. Frost, and lay the matter before them. - At the meeting this morning, Mr. Crowe, Col. Frost, Mr. Golden, J. H. Light, F. H. Quintard, James A. Brown Matthew Corbett, John W. Scully and a Grammar and Sentinel representative were present. - Mr. Quintaid produced the ballots and the GAZETTE representative made a statement as to the recount, and the", number of ballots found, and expalincd that they showed an an error had been» made by crediting Mr. Crowe With twenty-five of Col. Frost’s ballots. After the matter had been fully gone. over, Mr. Crowe stated that he was perfectly satisfied an error had been committed and in view of the fact that the ballots showed conclusively that Col. Frost was nominated, he Crowe, town committeeman would place the name of Russell Frost on the ticket in his stead, and urge all of his friends to support him. " ' I. Democratic Caucus. The Democratic caucus of the First and Third Voting districts W85 held Tuesday evening at the headq arters on Water street. The meeting was called to order by Committeeman B. J. Tully, and John W. Mains of East Norwalk was elected chairman and Bernard J. Feeney clerk. On motion Of B. J. Tully it was voted to proceed to an informal ballot for Representative. The chair then ap- pointed Messrs. William Worden, B. J. Tully, John Malone and William Mitch- ell, tellers. Forty-six votes were cast of which number John W. Mains received 41 and the ballot was made formal and unanis mous. Mr. Mains made a neat little speech thanking the caucus for the honor con- ferred upon him? and promising, if elected. to represent the town of Nor- walk in the General Assembly to the best of his ability. The nominations of six justices was now in order and the result of the first ballot, an informal one, 46 votes being cast, was as follows : Timothy J. Byrnes, 21 John W. Mains, 8 Wm.

DeForest would be' at Hoyt’s Opera House on the 27th for the purpose of telling voters why he wants them to vote for him for Con- gressman. Mr. Tulley requested mem- bers of the committee on primaries to meet him after the caucus, and the meeting then adjourned. - —..>——-————— Snyder Sentenced. The case of Herman Snyder, of South Norwalk, under arrest ,for embezzling something like $6,500 of the fund's he had collected. as city tax collector of that city, was heard before Judge Thayer of the Superior Court, Tuesday afternoon. It will be remembered that Snyder was arrested last June and has since been in jail at Bridgeport. A petition had since been numerously signed by the citizens asking that the court deal lightly with him. Snyder plead guilty. His attorney John J. Walsh made a splendid plea_ for. the leniency of the court toward his client. He was sentenced to one year in jail and to pay a fine of $2,500. It the fine is not paid or remitted Snyder is likely to be confined for the next twelve years. His attorney says that Snyder listened to the verdict In a dazed man- ner, and that it was fully ten minutes before he seemed to realize where he was or the text Of the Judge’s decision. Much credit is due to Mr. Walsh for the able manner in which he has band,- led the case, the verdict being fully as light as he had expected or asked for. _ __ Expelled.

After the march the firemen repaired to 'l‘oquet’s Opera House, where an elegant spread had been; laid by the good ladies of Westport. The astonishment of the visiting firemen at the varied and large amount of delecacies. and substantials before them_.was onlerxcelled by the avidity with which two NOrwalk re~ porters stowed away an assortment of all theiviandsthat‘ came within their Westport did herself proud, yester- day, and It will be many a day before theoccasiou will‘be obliterated, If in- deed it ever is, from those who partook of the hospitality and kindly welcome of the firemen and their-friends, the ladies. NOTES. . '. . Olothier Benedict’s pony turnout was right in it. “Jimmy” lgarbour’s popcorn sold like wildfire a did Burton’s “all hots,” The merry-go-rcund and the saloons were well patronized. A ball was given in the evening which was largely attended and proved to be a happy occasion. - ‘ Hope Hose boys got home about 10 O’clock, and the Phoenix about 7 o’clock weary but happy. ' The young ladies never looked pret tier in their lives, and won the hearts of the firemen. The parade was reviewed from the hotel balcony by the town ofiicials and several reporters. . . The Phoenix boys and Hope Hose boys were the finest appearing of any company in the procession. Baby Compo company composed of fifty boys dressed in white sweaters, white caps and blue trousers, drawing Westport’s first fire engine-was the at- traction of the procession. : Among. the guests were Chief Stagg of Waterbury; ex-chief Hendricks, Of New Haven, the chief of thelIBethel fire department, Chief Prowitt and Asst. Chief Smith of Norwalk and Chief Baker Of South Norwalk, Chief Wheel- er OPEast Norwalk. Served Them nght. Two young men Edward Tuhey and Daniel Gormley drove over to West- port, yesterday, to see the fire parade. From their actions they evidently mix- ed N orwaik whiskey with the Westport brand and became recklessly intoxicat- ed. They drove through the. street at‘ the risk to the lives of pedestrians and. occasionally swung their carriage into the procession. Being warned to stop and still continuing their reckless driv- ing they were yanked out of the car- . riage by some indignant firemen and given a deservedly good thrashing. They showed signs on getting home of having been pretty roughly handled with no one to blame but themselves. Pelican Club Ball. : The reception given by the Pelican club at the Athenaeum, last night, was a grand success and was conducted in a manner reflecting a great deal of credit upon the management. There were fourteen dances on the order. Music was furnished by the Jerome May Banjo club and there were 100 couples in the grand march. Pepcple were present from Danbury, Stamford, ‘Westport, etc. Charles Flynn acted as prompter. C Knows Them; Judge Austin says that he detected the two young men who were engaged in distributing circulars as against his fitness for the Office of Justice of the Peace. He at the time refrained from glvmg their names, but now makes them public.‘ They were, so he says, Charles Helmet and George Vosburg. OO—————-————— A Sound Sleeper.

The princess was met at the Russian frontierIby the Grand Duch- css Elizabeth, and from that point on they traveled together. On arriving at Slnfcr- opol they left the train and drove across the country in an open carriage to the Yalta} road, the route being decorated at lntervals‘wlth triumphal arches. At Al- ushta, the coast road leading from the north to Yalta, the bride elect was wel- comed by the czarcwitz and his uncle, Grand Duke Serglus, who left Livadla yesterday morning for that purpose. Aft- .cr luncheon the journey to leadla was continued. When the party drove through Yalta, the czarowltz and his intended bride were seated side by side and were heartily cheered by crowds of people who had. been awaiting their arrival.

' It is announced here that the marriage of the czarowltz to Princess Alix of Hesse— Darmstadt will take place at leadla to- morrow unless the condition of the czar is so serious as to prevent the ceremony.
