The People’s. Favorite.
The Tribune aptly states M» jor Mc-
Kinley to be a man whom none can
know without loving and a man who
has won the most decisive manifestation
of public opinion in his favor that has
been known’for any man in fifty years,
except for Lincoln during the war, and
Grant after its victorious end, and that
the redoubtable Mark Hanna has the
magnificent. good. luck to be opposed
by a combination of all the bosses, in-a
‘ year when the people want to smash
the bosses and their machinery.

The Silver Specter.
The activity and shouting of the sil-
ver propoganda bodes ill for the unity
of the Democratic party. It is safe to
say that every safe Democratic state is
for free silver and it now looks as if the
Chicago Convmtion, will be controlled
by the advocates of free silver so far as
platform making is concerned and they
may possibly be able to name the candi
date. Among Republicans the numeri-
cal strength of the silver men is over-
estimated and the states that they can
control are few in numb -r and insignifi-
pant has to the number of electorial
70439;," The silver senators are making
a good M of .noise and their obstruc-
tive powers may preyt’nt future legis-
lation along fiscal lines unless they can
have their ideas incorporated into law.
Gold is the monetary standard of the
world and all values, except in cases of
barter are measured by it. This stand—
ard cannot be supplanted by any other
W3: any attempt to place another metal
alongside of it by law, mu-t fail, unless
that metal (Dollar) is intrinsically
worth as much as the gold dollar. The
present ratio of silver to gold is about
30 to 1, and should Congress attempt to
establish the arbitrary one of 16 to 1,
the gold would either leave the courtry
or else we wou'id have two kinds of our
rene", probably the latter as we did
during the war, when gold was at a pre-
mium and business transactions were
based on the paper currency. That the
demonetizition of silver contracted the
currency may be true, but the mischiel
was not so extensive as the Populistfc
orators would have us believe. The
advocates of free coinage forget that
poor-money always drives out the good,
that is people will not use a: gold torl
when a silver one can take its: place.
The danger of contracting the currency
by the use of silver is just as great as
with gold; for if we exile gold the cur-
rency is all silver and we are restricted
to the use entirely of silver.
If the 16 to 1 ratio is forced on the
country our currency will be contracted
just the amount of gold in circulation
and our dealings with foreign nations
will become more complicated fund the
business world will deal at home in
silver and abroad in gold.
The Republican managers have an
opportunity to show that the party now
as of yore stands for all that is best in
the forms of governmental regulations.
Aside from making this a matter of
principle the Republican party can"
afi‘ord to defy the silver- men as their
noise is to their votes as 16 is to 1.

' In Memory.
' Harry Norman Hanford, son of Levi
Hanford, E'q., of Norwalk, and former-
ly of the old town of Lansingburg, at
the head of the Hudson, died last night
after an illness of several months, at
the residence of his father on Belden
avenue. He was born in this tO‘fin in
1870 and has here grown up beloved by
all who have known him. He was an
interesting and engaging school lad and
ayoung man full of promise, of high
character, noble tendencies and win-
some manners. His life, set in an har-
monious key, and of uncheckered vi-
vacity, has been, all through, that of the
"gvgcnial warmth and beauty of early1
summer; and now that at the height of
he same season of richest blossoms and
ower-bed vigor and brilliance which
6 so tenderly loved, his bright and
:-,_» happy spirit. hopeful and cheerful even
in his closing days of mingled sun and
shade, has taken its flight. The family’s
many Fairfied and Rensselaer county
friends feel for and with them in their
deep bereavement. ‘

The Troubles of the'Steamboat
Montgomery Are Not
Yet Over. 7
Raymond Bros. Want $550 for Trucking.
Every reader, says the Danbnry News,
is familiar with the details ofq’the stormy
voyage of the steamer Montgomery,
over paths untrodden by any adventur-
ous steamboat. '
They know how she was purchased in
South N orwalk and how Contractor
Raymond hoisted her out of the Water
and placed her upon the biggest trucks
he 00‘1“ find in the city of soft shell
crabs. That was a month ago.
_ Sixteen horses were hitched to the
trucks, and after a perilous trip of
twenty -nine days the steamer landed in
Danbury. The journey was an event-
ful one, and the boat encountered perils
that she never met with on Long Island
Sound even in the most tempestuous
times.
When she reached Lake Kenosia Fri;
day evening she was a sorry looking
boat. Her pilot house was detached
from her cabin and her smokstack was
missing. Her rudder was gone and
there were a score of things to indicate
the trials she had encounted on her
Journey.
This afternoon she lies upon the shore
of Lake Kenosia, with her nose just
ready to slide ofl‘ into the water when
she is given the necessary assistance.
But no one knows when she will be set
afloat. The contractors who brought
her through the dangers of her journey
have not been paid and they will not
launch her. '
Her owners say that the money is
ready for the contractors and will be
paid whenever the boat is placed in the
water. The trouble seems to be about
the amount of money which is to be
paid. Raymond Brothers coatracted
to bring the boat to Danbury for 3225.
They eXpected to make the trip ina
week at the most and thought there
wou'd be money in the job. But they
say that the weight of the boat was
misrepresented to them. They say it
weighs at least twenty tons, while they
understood that the weight was much
less when they made the contract. The
cost of bringing the boat to Danbury
was $1,100, which is probably as much
or more than the boat is worth. Ray-
mond Brothers want. the owners of the
Montgomery to pay half of the expense
of transportation, $550.
It was said this afternoon, continues
the News, that litigation might result
before the matter was adjusted and it
was expected that the boat would be
attached at almost any time.
And that is not the only danger that
confronts the Montgomery, for weather
beaten mariners who have tossed about
upon the billows of Lake Kenosia for
years and have pulled more prickbacks
and pumkinseede from her dark depths
than any twenty other grizzled veter-
ans of the blue waters say that she can
never be used to advantage upon so
small a sheet of shallow water. In the
first place they think that she draws
too much water to be run close to the
shore, and that it will be difficult to get
aboard her unless passengers put out
in row boats while she anchors some-
where out in the lake. They prophesy
that she will run hard ashore before she
makes many trips and there will be
nothing on the lake big enough and
powerful enough to pull her off again
unless Dr. Knox discovers a sea mon-
ster which is big enough to perform the
required service.

’1 A SMALL FIRE.
Norwalk Firemen Aroused at Midnight.
A fire was discovered in apartments
occupied by Mrs. Ellen McSherry in
the Dougherty building on Harbor
avenue heth-n 12 and 1 o’clock this
morning. An .larm was sent in from
Box 34 at the corner of Harbor avenue
and Chapel stre at, which was responded
to by the dlfl'cl'rflt companies, Hope
Hose reaching the fire first, closely fol-
lowed by Phoenix Engine company.
Through a misunderstanding the Pie-
neer Hook and Ladder company and
the supply wagon ran up Mill Hill and
down East avenue as far as Box 43, at
ex-Selectmau Daskam’s. This mistake
the truckmen allege, was caused by
Police Officer Kinney, who notifier]
them as they came down Main street
that the fire was near “Sam Daskam’s.”
The supply wagon driver folIOWed the
truck up Mill Hill as did also First As-
sistant Engineer Smith. '
The Pioneers dragged their heavy
old apparatus back to Wall street and
getting a “hitch” on a Street Railway
car were whirled down West avenue,
and from thence dragged the truck ,to
the fire.
The services of none of the firemen
been extinguished, by Josiah W. Britto
with a few pails of water.
, The damage done will not be in ex-
cess of 82-5. One or two dresses were
burned and a chair somewhat charred.
The origin of the fire is not known,
