After reading the esteemed Seutinel’s intelligible and forceful v editorial on “The License Issue,” on Saturday, we are of the opinion that “at all events the best interests of Norwalk demand that every voter should cast his ballot for or against the saloon at the coming election.” —‘ Connecticut Political Notes. Colonel N. G. Osborn, in his always interesting weekly letter to the New York Herald, furnishes that paper’s Connecticut readers with the following accute observations respecting the recent free silver democratic conven; tion held at New Haven: “A more complete overthrow of life. long princ‘ples, or a more stultifying _ spectacle of repudiation, was never wit- nessed in a convention held upon Con- necticut soil. At the hour of adj surn- ment there was not left a single trace . of the struggle, which has been going on in GOHHCOEECUE for nearly a century, for the adoption and enforcement of the democratic principles of the govern- ment. Had the popocratic candidate for the Presidency been present he would have been forced to acknowledge that in the art of turning somersaults the silver democracy of Connecticut is more proficient than himself. Not the least remarkable feature of the Convention was the readiness of the delegates to not only disavow all the principles they hgd prev1ously avowed, but to receive with the Warmth of hospitality into their organiZation men of every faith but the single one of democracy. One of the Presidtntial electors, A. P. Tanner, of New London county, was the greenback candidate for Gov ernor in 1882. Out of a total of mu 115,000 votes,ue polled at that time 697. The candidate for dovernor, tit-Mayor Joseph B. Sardent, of New Haven, is a man who has never given his assent, by word or in deed, to any one of the cardinal principles of popocratic faith For Secretary of State the convention placed in nomination a young man from Stamford, Homer S. Cummings, whose only distinction is that he is a clerk in the law oflice of “Sam”Fessen- den.” A For Comptroller the Convention, now drunk with its own generosity, nominated E. N. Ripley, of Unionv1lle, who a few years ago ran for Governor on the populzst ticket. Thus. having taken into their hearts representatives of every party but the single. one in whose name they met, the delegates gavea rousing reception to Henry C. Btlwin, of Naugatuck, who for twenty two years has been one of the most active and persistent op- ponents of the democratic party. Another illustration of the temper of this Convention was shown when the resignations of twelve of the former members of the State Central Commit- tee were acted upon. A motion made to the effect that their resignations be accepted was amended by'adelegate to read “Accepted with thanks.” This amended motion, which was repeated to the Convention by the chairman with" characteristzc and ill bred comments, was carried amid cheers and biases. Contemptible appeals were made to the passions of the poor and in con- demnation of wealth. - Not a few expressed themselves privately as more than half afraid they had gone too far in unnecessarily in- sulting the old leaders of the party. No one of the delegates has any idea .of marching on to victory. Even the presiding officer of the Convention, Mr. Kennedy, of Naugatuckfin his in- troductory speech admitted that the hope of victory was four years off ” Trinity Church Struck. About 5 o’ clock Saturday morning, when the storm was at its height, light- ing struck the chapel of the Trinity Episcopal church of Southport, dam- aging it seriously. The lighting struck the roof 1n the center at one end and made an opening several feet in diam- eter. damaged. The crash which followed ,. was terrific and those in the neighbor- hood imagined that their houses had been struck. The church is presided over by Rev: Mr. Guilbert.

At about noon on the second Sunday in July, ' 1779, a chimney in lower “France, ” N orwalk rose above a glow- ing bed of rafters which were fast‘ being reduced to cinders. Around the hearth in that old fine, the six surviving members of the fam- ily had not possibly kept their usual “Saturday night,” the evening before, because the community had been alarmed at nightfall by the tidings that ' the red-coated enemy was landing on the southern coast, bent upon the town’s destruction. The ancient chim- ney, erected long before that date, and' until that hour, the silent beholder of many a joyous greeting, seems now to _-. ”w T H E s. ~ ‘ * a“ N l N c CAZE] CHECKERQBOARD BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
