Local Political Notes.
Lieut. Governor Cooke will exceed all
previous votes for Gc‘wernor, ever given
in old Norwalk.
Congressman Hill was given a phe-
nomenal majority here 2 years ago. This
year, his vote in Norwalk will be un-
precedeuted and his majority some-
thing collossal, for the reason that
nearly every voter favors honest money
and protection. -
Judge of Probate, Asa B. Woodward,
will be re-elected Without a competitor.
He is the right man in the right place
and no voter of any creel desires to
_ make this a partisan oflice.
Our Board of Selectmen is a strong
one, yet it is liible to be assailed. Ex-
firgess James Sutherland is much dis-
cussed by his friends as a successor to
Selectman Merrill, while Ex-Selectman
“Charley" Burr thinks it is about time
he were “called from labor t 1 refresh-
He feels it to be a wrong
to force Merrill to accept another term,
when his rapidly increasing ice business,
demands all his attention. -
Bradley Surefoot Keith 1s sure he
can be just as economical in the admin-
istration of the Town’s afl‘iirs and can
say “No,” to applicants for town aid
twice as pleasantly as Captain Ike. He
also guarantees the Town shall not sup-
port any other member of his family,
and on these" issues, will make along.

' scalp.
Since announced 1n these notes that
‘ Mayor Wheeler Wanted to withdraw,
his friends are importuning him to act
as Mayor another term, at the‘least.
He has truly earned the honor anda
grateful constituency will re-elect him
with a booming majority.
Representative E.0. Keeler is booked
this year for State Senator. His friends
are making a vigorous canvas for his
nomination and if successful, why
Keeler will do the rest and you can bet
your bottom dollar that he will get
there.
Badly Mixed.
“Things are so badly mixed politi-
cally,” says Henry B. Brown, of New
Haven, chairman of the Connecticut
Prohibition Committee, “that I am re-
minded of a bereaved husband who had
buried four wives, in widely different
localities. 'He became inspired with
the happy thought to have them all die-
interred and laid to rest in the same
.burial lot, and to erect to their mem
ories a single shaft, on which their
names should appear. He proceeded to
do so, but in making the changes the
bodies became inextricably mixed and
changed, so that which couldn’t be dis-
tinguished from t’other.
four several and individual inscriptions,
he concluded to group the whole busi-
ness in one comprehensive epitaph,
which read touchingly as follows: .
“Stranger! stop and drop a tear!
My Mary Ann lies buried here!

Free Silver and Life Insurance.
Hundreds of thousands of persons in
the United States are so situated that
the death of the bread—winner of the
family, would compel them to rely for
support upon the proceeds of his life in-
surance.
, The success of the free-silver move-
ment would have the efi‘ect of reducing
those proceeds one-halt.
The wife and children of. a- man
who had always paid his insurance pre-
miums in a currency equivalent to gold,
would have to take the principal in a
curency wol'th only half as much.
Any person whose life is insured,
votes for a reduction” 1n the value of his
insurance policy if he votes for Bryan
and Sewall. He votes in direct hostil-
ity to. the interests of all those for
.‘whose bedefit the insurance is “1598
So, instead of ‘
out. Iihis wife and cluldren are the
beneficiaries, he votes ,to lessen their
support in the event of his death. In
every community, are good men- who V
have applied their savings for years to
the payment of life insurance premiums.
It has not always been easy to pay, but.
somehow or other they have managed
to scrape together the needed amount
in time to prevent their policies from
lapsing. They have been steadfast in
thrift for the sake of those whom they
love, and whom they desire to shield,
from poverty. Is it possible that such
men will so vote as to throw away half
the good that has resulted from their J
painstaking economy ?,_
'No intelligent man who holds a pol-
icy of life insurance, W111 support the
free silver platform or candidate.
Herrman’n;
The world is forever after the im-
possible. It is because Herrmann has
acheived it that he .is entitled. to be
called the great. Is there anything he
cannot do? Has any doubting Thomas
in any corner of the Globe found him
wanting? In the programme which
this prince of magicians will present at
the Norwalk Opera House, to-morrow
night, every law of nature is set at
naught. No one can explain the
things that Herrmann does. In fact,
few care to, because there is no defiance
in his manner. Herrmann only desires
to entertain you and he accomplishes
his boldest deceptions with so much ap-V
parent candor, he fools you with such
witty, and at times, sardonic apologies,
that youare happy in your blindness
and would hesitate to spoil your enj oy-
ment by too much perception. It is
fortunate that this is so for as Herr-
mau himself naively remarks, “the
closer you look, the less you see.”
