On Tuesday next you will be called upon to go to the polls and cast your votes for either the Republican or Democratic candidates. The fact that your grandfather, father or brother is a Democrat or a Republican should have no weight with you on Tuesday. You should go to the polls resolved to cast your ballots as you deem for the best interests of your country, state and yourself. If youbelieve that the interests of the state of Connecticut would be better served by the election of Mr. Cady and his associateathen vote the Democratic ticket. If on the other hand you think Mr. Coffin would be the better man and the state better OE under a Republican administration then vote the Republi- can ticket. If you believe that your country will thrive underthe Wilson bill; that your family dependent upon you will be better 011‘ ; that you will have more work, higher wages and more prosper- ous times under a Demomatic congress, then cast your vote for Mr. DeForest. On the other hand if you believe your country will be more prosperous under a protective tariff; that you and your family will be better Off; that your closed factory will reopen, and prosper- ous times again come, then it is your duty to vote for Mr. Hill. In casting your vote for 9. Congress- man the personality of the candidate, if he be otherwise fitted for the office, should be overlooked in the momen- tous question, “What is best for my Country, my State and myself ? ” “Which party will the better guide the affairs of the Nation, and under which will we be the more prosperous ? ” The A. P. A. bugbear, which is noth- ing more or less than a political move on the part of party newspapers, to scare those foreign voters who are as- serting their independence into voting for their candidates, should not be given a moment’s thought, as the vet— ers of the United States have not yet fallen into religious or political bigotry. ' The two candidates for the senator- ship are both residents of Norwalk and are well known to all. Mr. Ferris rep- resenting the Republican principles and Col. Smith the Democratic. A vote for Mr. Ferris is a vote for pro. tection, but a vote for Col. Smith is a vote thrown away as he could notunder the Connecticut Constitution be a member of the General Assembly were he elected. The candidates for representatives, Edwin C. Keeler, Robert H. Rowan, John W. Mains and Richard H, Golden are respected citizens of Norwalk, and when you cast your ballot on Tuesday next; decide in your own mind which of them will represent your town and your state to the best advantage, and then vote according to your decision. If the voters of Norwalk will. on Tuesday next follow the dictates of their own conscience and vote for the best interest of their country, their state and themselves without thought of party fealty the result will repay them twofold. + Rowan’s Election Now Certain. Robert H. Rowan was nominated at the South Norwalk Republican caucus by an overwhelming majority on the informal ballot, at one of the largest assemblages of the kind ever convened there. This informal vote was imme- diately made formal and unanimous. This left Mr. Rowan a candidate with but a single fear as to" his triumphant election and that was the fear that the mendacious Norwalk Hour might at- tempt the impertinence and peril. of praising him. That danger is passed, as to-day’s Hour gives a long cock.and bull story charging Rowan with being in some mysterious way friendly to the Consolidated railroad that - passes through his city. The GAZETTE now looks for a phenominal majority for Rowan. Had the Hour praised him, every one would have feared as to his success and even worse, would have suspected that by; had been guilty of paying for his favor at the rate per line Mr. Maples publicly told the Connectiv cut Editorial Association it was his cus- tom to exact from candidates for office. Rowan can be further consoled by the proverb, “Backwounding calumny the whitest virtue strikes.” __.______.. Let Every Elector Vote. More than three thousand employes of the government in Washington will go home to vote. Of course President , Cleveland is not of the number, never. tholess every man entitled should vote. American citizenship is a priceless priv- ilege and every patriotic man should bless God for it and prove his apprecia- tion by voting once, honestly and con- scientously as his own sense of duty dictates. ' V - [by the Superior Court. $110 Mislead theVoter. ' _ ‘ All skirts of political stories are flying hilter skilter just at this time. The voter should not take too much stock in them. They will bear investigation and in many cases it will be found they are only made up to mislead the voter. The Hour contained a fair sample of these yarns in its issue this morning. 0 They Retract. _ The Bridgeport Post published the lies uttered and still brazenly stuck to by the Danbury Dispatch concerning Mr. E. J. Hill and gives Hill’s letter of denial with the following editorial foot- note: ( N OTl,—-We are glad to give this de- nial publication for the reason_that this paper believes in clean politics and is bitter against anything that savors of political trickery whichever side is to blame—ED.) The same is true of the Bridgeport Union, which says : “The above denial speaks for itself and the Union is very glad to make a place for it in its columns. No one ac- quainted with Mr. Hill'can have any doubt as to the truth of his statements, and the injustice of circulating a false- hood of this nature about him at this time must be apparent to every one. The article in question came to [he Union as a clipping from an exchange, and neither by quoting or by publish- ing the interview with “a Republican,” did the Union intend to indorse Mr. DeForest or condemn Mr. Hill. No- where in the article published appears any intimation as to the views of the Union or the fitness of either candi- date. A v'v \ Brl‘dgeport’s Interests. Under the above heading the Bridge- port Farmer, last evening, prints the following : Much better for the interests of this city would it be to re-elect DeForest than to send Hill of Norwalk to Wash- ington. Bridgeport wants postolfice and harbor appropriations, and would be much more likely to obtain them through theefi'orts of a Bridgeporter than through those of a citizen of a town which has always evinced much jealousy of this city. The attempt on the part of the Far— mer to incite feelings of jealously be- tween Bridgeport and Norwalk is poor politics. Sould the Democrats of N or- walk act upon the suggestion advanced by the Farmer Mr. Hill would very likely receive a large number of votes that would otherwise go to Mr. De- Forest. + A Suspicion. A vote for Edwm O. Keeler and Rich- ard H, Golden for representatives is the best possible vote next Tuesday.— Hour. The above is hard upon Keeler but immeasurably harder on Golden, as the Hour professes to be a Republican paper and this pufi leaves Golden open to the suSpicion of having got that paper’s favor by purchase. 6. Impotent Spite and Rot. “After securing the withdrawal of E. E. Crowe, epublican nominee for Representative, by intimidation and trickery, and after Col. Frost had be- come so disgusted with tricksters that he would not allow his name to be used a second time, the Consolidated attor ney, and his followers,had another cau- cus called and Robert H. Rowan was declared the nominee of the Republicans of South Norwalk, as the outcome of these disgraceful proceedings. ' it * * * the Republicans of the entire town of Norwalk are to decide whether they will accept the candidate placed up- on their ticket as the representative of the N. Y., N. IL, &H. R. R. 00., a candidate who, if elected, will vote for the Consolidated, and not for the town. on all measures presented by the rail- road company. The railroad company does not own Richard H. Golden, and for that rea- son he should be elected, and not Mr. Rowan—Hour. “What king so strong—— Can tie the gall up in the slanderer’s tongue 7 ” Almost Fatally Shot. James Hunt, a clerk in the firearms store of F. Hallock 6: Co. at Derby, was accidentally shot Friday afternoon by Nathaniel B. Prindle, the secretary of the Young Men’s Christian associa- tion. Prindle was in the store examin- ing some firearms and Hunt was taking the weapons out of the case showing Prindle the stock. It seems that the pistol which Prindle was examining was loaded, but he 'did not know of it until he accidently pulled the trigger and shot the clerk in the right breast. Hunt was the victim of a similar accident about a year ago while showing firearms to a customer. It is thought that Hunt will recover. Recent Deaths. Mrs. Abbie L. Andrews died in Man- chester, near Hartford, Thursday. She weighed 383 pounds. Her husband whosurvives her weighed 330 pounds. Anton Laska, the man who was struck by a train near the Rosedale dock Wed- nesday, died at the hospital Thursday night, from the injuries received. Laska was about 40 years of age and up to the time of the accident resided at Greens Farms. O Upto His Chin. .Martin French while engaged in digging a trench at Bridgeport Friday afternoon, was buried up to his chin by the caving in of the walls of the trench. He was badly bruised but not seriously injured. - No Boodle. Both political parties in the towns of Salisbury, Lakeville, North Canaan, Falls Village and Lime Rock have agreed not to spend a single dollar for the purchase of votes next Tuesday. H:as Resigned.

We are in receipt, of a letter from Robert H. Rowan, the Republican nom- inee for representative, in which he emphatically denies the statements in the Hour, this morning. The letter will appear in these columns on Mon- day. His denial of the Hour’s lies, however, is entirely unnecessary. O The Waterbury Case. The case of George “Hen” Water- bury who is charged with keeping a disorderly house on Marshall street, was heard before Justice Rose this morning. The Justice found Water- bury guilty and bound him over in the Superior Court. Mrs. Catherine Ellis furnished bonds. - Senator Platt.

HorT’s OPERA HOUSE. There is no doubt that gum-chewing is a growing habit among even conser- vative people in this city. Physicians have been known to advocate the prac- tice for indigestion, and under this scant claim to respectability the gum- dispensing slot machines take in a great many pennies during the day. But it will :be a long time before the gum- chewer, no matter how omni-present he becomes, will be a pleasing object to the eye, so why don’t the public spend their money in some- thing that is more amusing, that is not a habit, and is not only pleasing to the eye but the car as well, and that is to go and see Jolly Nellie McHenry in her greatest show on earth, “A Night at the Circus,” at Hoyt’s Opera House, Tuesday evening, Nov. 6th. NORWALK OPERA HOUSE. Theatregoers will all be pleased to hear that “Shore Acres” the great and only true New England play, is to be the attraction at the N orwalk Opera House Wednesday Evening November 7th under the direction of H. C. Minor of the Fifth Ave. Theatre. The author of this play has succeeded in presenting a series of true pictures of thedaily life of the New England farmer, and they are so deftly limned, that all who see them are charmed by their truth to nature. Without the slighest exagger- ation, Mr. Herne carries his audience with him to the rugged and rock bound shores of Maine, and there he moves them from tears to the laughter, with- out ofi'ending good taste or; breaking any of the canons of dramatic art. The emotion are expressed so unafi‘ectedly that even the most hardened patron of the drama is made to forget that he is witnessing a play. No one can regret seeing such a performance, and those who attend the presentation of “Shore Acres” for the first time on this occa- sion are assured a genuine treat. 0 GRACE CHURCH—Rev. S. H.

' T— "Physicians Could Do No More-«Re- lef Found at Last---A Modern Miracle. From the HackettstOwn N. J. Republican. Reports from time to time reached the Republican of the remarkable cure of_Mrs. Jacob Shields, the wife of our leading coal merchant, who had been suffering from a complication of dis- eases that nearly resulted in her death. In order to verify these statements, one of our reporters called upon Mrs. Shields and found that "the reports_in no Way represented the great serv1ce that had been rendered her by Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. The particulars of the case are these : "I was taken sick,” said Mrs. Shields, for three weeks. When I recovered I suffered untold agony'with my back and right limb. Theyfelt as though they would burst. At the same time I Blood would pass from me most of the time. My mother was with me, and a friend of hers called and told her Of the sickness they had passed through at her home, and that Dr. Dav1d_ Ken- nedy’s Favorite Remedy had been used by them, and she felt sure I would find great benefit from its use. “A bottle was purchased, and I hadn’t taken but a few doses before it began to relieve me, and in a few days some small, sharp, white stones passed from me. That evening the doctor called, and I told him that I had stopped his medicine, for he had told Mr. Shelds the last time he called that he did not know what more to do for me. Some time before this Iwas taken to the‘Hospi- tal and then brought home aswas suppos- ed, to die, Dr. DavidKennedy’s_Favor- ite Remed was taken just in time. 1 do thank ‘ 0d from the bottom of my' heart that he ever sent that lady here to tell me of Favorite Remedy, other- wise death would have been my doom. Since 1 have recovered, ever so many have told me that it was ,'a miracle I ever get well. I certainly connot say enough in praise of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. Many persons are using it upon my recommendation, and it is doing them good. I will cheerfully answer any questions,” said Mrs. Shields, “in re- gard to my illness, feeling that others who may be suffering will be benefitted by using Dr. Kennedy’s. Favorite Rem- y. No tribute to the eflicacy of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy could be greater than these words of Mrs. Shields’, who voluntarily tells the story of her remarkable recovery, and that this medicine should be used by persons suffering from diseases for which it is prepared. Favorite Remedy ranks with the med- ical profession, as the most perfect of of all blood and nerve medicines._ It will cure all diseases of the skin, liver and kidneys, and the weaknesses pecu- liar to females, and afl'ords great pro- tection from attacks that originate in change of life. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, rheumatism, dyspepsia, all k1d- ney, bladder and urinary diseases, gravel diabetes and Bright’s disease. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem- edy is for sale by dealers in medicine at $1 a bottle. TER3E TALES OF THE IliiiES. New Canaan has 684 voters. Mr. F. J. Mallory of New Jersey is in town.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—A Yokohama dispatch announcing the investment of Port Arthur was received with satisfac- tion by Minister Kurino of Japan, who regards it as a-happy augury for the mi- kado's birthday, which occurs tomorrow. The plan of campaign as stated in the dispatch is in line with what the minister has anticipated. He says \Vlju ls already taken, and with the occupation of Port Arthur and Mukden. which are now their objective points. the Japanese would have the three great strategic points of China. This would give them command of both land and sea, as Port Arthur is the Gibraltar of China. commanding the water entrance to the gulf of Pechili, and with leu and Mukdcn would give the Japanese :5 great stretch north and south, almost hemming in the Chinese. An Important Announcement. YOKOHAMA, Nov. 8.—It is announced that the investment of Port Arthur by the Japanese forces has been completed by land and by sea, and that the forward movement of both the Japanese armies in the direction of Mukden is being rapidly pushed.
