lohn 'Addison Porter.

There are many Republican voters at
this end of the state, who will heartily
endorse the following words of simple
justice and wisdom, uttered on Satur-
day by that stalwart republican journal

\ the New Haven Palladium, in reference
to Mr. Porter’s candidacy for the
Gubernatorial nomination. The Pal-
ladium with much truth and entire dig-

nity says:— .

“There have been many unkind
things recently said about Mr. J ohn-
.A-ddison Porter. but there are one or
two charges that we do not remember
to have seen made. It has .not been
denied that he has for several years
been an effective member Of the party
and that he has held the success of that
party dearer than any mere personal
advancement. His recent struggle for
the Connecticut endorsement of Mo-
Kinley does not perhaps count in his
favor with a certain wing Of the organ-
ization, but with the rank and file it
has made many an admirer of the Hart-
ford man. That he for several years
has been an effective Republican editor
of an efl‘ective Republican paper has al-
so not been gainsaid, nor has there
been any slur cast upon the integrity of
his-private life. No one has asserted
that he is not a man of brains nor that
he is not a respected and cultured '
gentleman. It will also hardly be
maintained that were he placed in an
ofiicial position he would not fulfill its
requirements honestly and with credit.

“The main objection to Mr. Porter
seems to be that he is a young man and
that he possesses a moderate amount Of
that wealth that we should all so like to
get hold of. The fact that Mr. Porter,
compared with the gentlemen who have
recently filled the gubernatonial chair,
is a young man,does not necessarily im-
Dly that he would be a bad governor.
In fact, we rather think this might be a
point in his favor. There is something
about the enthusiasm of youth that ap-
peals to the average man, and the
future of the party in Connecticut lies
in the hands of these same young men
that arein certain quarters viewed with
disfavor. Mr. Porter, though young,
is active; he .is a graduate of Yale, and
an honored one; he is a citizen in good'
standing of Hartford, and for all his
enemies may say, of Promfret, too; and
is an editor of wide reputation. We
should not shed many tears if his rights
and abilities were recognized in the
coming convention.”

From other Connecticut journals we
clip these further endgrsements of Mr.

Porter:—- .
“FIRST IN THIS STATE.
The original McKinley man of this
state is John Addison Porter, editor of
the Hartford Post.—Bridgeport Post.”

 

f‘THE mKNOWLEDGED LEADER.
John Addison Porter, of the Hart-
ford Post, is the acknowlegged McKin-
ley leader in this state.— ew London
Telegraph.”

 

‘ ‘FIRsr-LIEUTENANT.

Who is to be McKinley’s first lieuten-
ant in Connecticut? . . . . If Mr.

Porter has. to march in second place it
will be because of his innate modesty
alone—New Britain Herald."
...,._..
"A PIONEER ADVOCATE.

The Post and Mr. Porter are entitled
to all the credit that belongs to pioneer
advocates of a successful candidacy.—
Waterbury American.” ,

 

“STEADILY AND rIn'ELESSLY.

The nomination of McKinley is an in-
dication of Mr. Porter’s political fore-
sight. He began over a year ago to
make loud noises over that gentleman’s
great powers of~leadership, and from
that time until now, he has been ring-
ing the changes very much as celebrating
students at Yale used to ring the old
college chapel bell when their crew
wona race—steadily and tirelessly.—
New Haven Register.”

 

“HE wOBKED LIKE A HERO.
Personally, through his paper and
through the McKinley Club, which. he
oaganized some time age, he has worked
like a berm—Springfield Repuclican;
Correspondence.” ' -

 

. ' The Oppositibn to Mr. Porter seems
to be inspired chiefly by a fear that his
advancement might “break the slate”
of the “bosses,” manipulated ostensibly
in" the interests ofacandidate long in
public life, not to mention a “dog
in the manger" policy, charged to the
account Of-themanaging editor at the
.Courant," who may have personal or
business rivalries to exeitehishostility. ~

 

 

 

Partial Relief From the Heat.

The drop in the temperature Satur-
day was not a great one. ,1 The weather
was still hot enough to keep people
perspiring freely, but everybody was

thankful for the small measure of re- .

lief which was ushered in with the
shower of midnight on Thursday. ' The
strain caused by the terrific heat of ten
successive days has proveu very depres-

sing even to those in perfect health and ,

lull vigor. To the aged,_to the. debil-
itated, to.those already stricken with
disease and to the children in the
crowded tenement sections the ordeal

has been a terrible one. Those 'with‘

low vitality who still survived were
justly apprehensive of the effects of a
longer continuance of the terrific heat.

Whileit is too early to make absolute-
ly correct comparisons with former hot
waves it is probable that the period of
intense‘heat which closed Saturday, was
one of the most fatal the country has
ever experienced. ‘

It overspread the entire country and-
farm its victimsin every city and im-, '
' portant town. There was no cool place

to flee to, for til orrid atmosphere

'overspread the entire country. Human-

ity could only fan itself and perspire,
whether at the seashore, in the swelter-
ing city or within ‘ the shadow of the
mountains. ..

While the worst is undoubtedly over,
it will require several days for those
whO'have endured the-ten days’ swelter,
to recover entirely from its depressing
effect. The healthiest have been unable
to sleep and the return Of tolerably
temperate weather finds them com-
pletely fagged out. One of the chief
blessings of the change in the weather
is that they will be able to sleep, once
more.

The exhaustion, which isqa universal
client of the long continued heat, is yet
to be overcome and people should still
continue to work and eat and drink in
moderation, and rest and sleep all they

\can, for a few days. Fortunately the

worst is over and the change renders
recuperation possible. '

O

JIM VAN SCOTER’S CAT.
she Experienced Difficulties With a 'l'oc
Friendly Tin Can. ' '

The Dansville Breeze says that last
Wednesday morning Jim Vanscoter
heard a racket in the barn and went
to investigate. As he stood wondering
what might have caused the uproar,
his cat walked out of the corner with a
tin can over her head and proceeded to
hold a dress rehearsal. Jim was the

 

 

. audience, but she didn’t know it, for

she couldn’t see a thing. She had
tried to get something that was in the
bottom of the can, and the can, being
two or three sizes smaller than her
head, had stuck fast and remained
stuck in spite of her frantic efforts to
part with it. The rehearsal began
with a backward march around the
barn floor. Slowly and in solemn pha-
lanx she moved with stately and meas—
ured tread, but the tin'can, aware of
her design, stuck the closer and went
along. Then she stopped suddenly
and began to claw it vigorously with
both paws, like a. man. shaking the
dandruff out of his hair. Still the can
held its own, and then the cat arose in
her dignity and waltzed like a French
dancing master around the broad
arena on her hind legs, to the music
of her own orchestra produced by her
front paws beating time on the sides
of the can. The next scene was a
tumbling act in' which the cat did a
series of summersaults, handsprings,
back and front, cart wheels and other
double jointed maneuvres that were
probably never duplicated on the con-
tinent, while the tin can banged at in-
tervals on the floor till it sounded like
a runaway milk wagon over a stony
road.

Jim decided to assist the cat in its .

frantic effort to get a divorce from the
tin can by putting his foot on the cat’s
tail while he untied her bonnet strings.
The thought of submitting to such an
indignity made the cat absolutely
wild, and her enthusiasm grew space,
and a pretty lively pace too. The barn
was too small a compass in which to
express her pent-up wrath, so she
blindly bolted through the‘barn door
and out onto the lawn, where her en-
ergy increased a thousand fold.

This proved to be the closing scene
of the drama. The superhuman exer-
tions ofthe cat exhausted the ozone
from the tin can and made her breath-
ing SO difficult that after a few futile
efforts to keep up with the band
wagon, she fell over in, a dead faint
and Jim, taking advantage of her un.
conscious condition, removed the can
with an Old pair Of shears. The fresh
air and sunlight are wonderful restor-
atives, so “the out came back,” and her
first business of any importance, after
gazing on 'the beauties of nature as
revealed in the sunlight of a. bright
June morning, was to register a sol-
emn vow to leave the investigation of
tomato cans to the other cats.

A few years ago nearly .all newspapers
published, at this season, recrpes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chambep
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for these diseases and-as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. No one, having a bottle of the
remedy in the house need fear an attack of
bowel com laint. It can always be depended

 

u on and is pleasant and safe. ‘For sale by
