Last Night’s Caucus. Old Norwalk has given her younger iister, South Nor-walk, “A Roland for her Oliver,” in nominating J. Belden Hurlbutt for Representative. No town inull Connecticut is going to eclipse Norwalk in the legislative ability and high personal character of its Repre- sentatiVes. This is as it should be end is greatly to the honor of our grand old town. The best of feeling pervaded the can- cus. Had a formal ballot been taken, East Norwalk"s voteof 85 for Capt. Bell would have been added to Mr. Hurl- butt’s 256, but young, inexperienced and all too impulsive, “Jimmy” Maples whose vote was but 32, with the best of intentions,quickly moved that the Hurl- . ’butt vote be made unanimous, just as ’Captain Bell rose to his feet, to make a similar request, a privilege which courtesy and usage gave to him. But “all’s well that ends well,” and candi- date Hurlbutt is satisfied in having been honored on the informal ballot, with 8 to 1 over his boyish competitor. The next duty of every voter who l‘oves Norwalk better than party, is to give an unprecedented and non-parti- san majority to her bright galaxy of noble sons—E. J. Hill for Congress, E. O. Keeler for Senator, and J. B. Hurlbutt and Col. Bsusell Frost for Representatives—and thus make our town conspicuously prominent among her sister towns of the state. The Enemy’s Country. The’Sun remarks that when Bryan left Nebraska in August for his ridicu- lous expedition to the Madison Square Garden, he said that he was coming to “the enemy’s country.” Mr. Bryan is now in Illinois,speaking as industriously and fruitlessly as he spoke in New York. The East is still the enemy’s country. The West has become the enemy’s country. Illinois is the enemy’s country. So is Wiscon- sin. So is Minnesota. So is Iowa. So is Michigan. So is Indiana. 80, _ it is said, is Nebraska. On the Pacific slope there seems to be a large area of the enemy’s country. One or. both of the Dakotas are thought to be the enemy’s country; Kentucky and West Virginia have the look of being the enemy’s country. Bryan finds the enemy’s country much enlarged since he read his speech or acceptance. The enemy' may en- large it still more for him this week; and wherever the enemy’s country is, prevail the foes of swindling and the friends of the national hon or. coo—— ._¢.. 1A Word to Workin‘gmen. Does the dollar you now receive pur- chase too much of the necessaries of life? If it does, you should vote for Bryan for President, bring the country to the silver standard, reduce the value of the dollars paid you in wages one- rhalf, and bring convulsion and paralysis upon the great industrial interests of the Nation. Does the market basket of the work- ing-man come home too full because the dollars he earns have the highest pur- chasing value of any money in the world? If so, there is a very simple remedy by establishing the free coinage of silver and adopting the silver stan4 rind of value in the country. The same amount of dollars‘then expended by the workingman at the market, would purchase just one-half he now obtains. It is not disputed, even by Mr. Bryan that by the adoption of the silver stand— ard, the lawful dollar of the country would. be Wuriih just about 50 cents, but he insists that the wage-earners would be compensated by having their wages doubled. Does any workingman be- _T~HE EVENING GAZETTE" __ lieve that his employer would double his wages with the advent of free silver which would bring revulsion in every business and industrial circle and great- ly lessen the ability of employers to pay wages to their labor ? It is needless to theorize on the ques- tion of wages paid in cheap money countries. In every silver country of the world, including Mexico, that is the most prosperous of all, the pur- chasing power of a dollar has declined one-half during the last twenty years, and in no instance has there been an increase of wages above 40 per cent., while in many there has been little or no increase at all, When cheap money comes, the workingmen must always hear the heaviest part of the load. It has been so in all countries since the world was, and will so continue until the end of time. There is not a theory of finance pre- sented by the free silver people in the present contest, that has not been tried over and over again by difi‘erent coun- tries of the world, and there is not a single record of such an experiment that was not disastrous to all people,and especially disastrous to the working- men. Cheap money means cheap wages and largely increased. cost of all the necessaries of life. 01' all classes in this country, where the workinz'men are a majority of the people, the wage- earner has the greatest interest of any, in the defeat of. Mr. Bryan and the establishment of absolutely sound pub- lic and private credit. .._.___—_ The Day Approaches. In one day less than a week, the American electors will cast their fifteen million votes for him whom they de- sire for President. As soon as the vote is cast, the whole Nation will be impatient to know the result. Buckingham Post, G. A. R., has gen- erously and in a spirit .oi true patriot- ism, profi'ered Its hall for all of next Tuesday night, in which the election returns may be received and declared to the eagerly waiting multitudes. The tender of the hall was announced by Chairman Leonard last evening and was received by enthusiastic apprecia- tion, followed by a unanimous vote of thanks to the Grand Army boys. .0. Advertise in the GAZETTE. . The little daughter of Mr. Fred VVebber Holland, Mass, had a very bad cold and cough which he had not been able to cure with anything. ’ I gave him a 2-5 cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says IV. P. Holden, merchant and postmaster at \Vest Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he said it worked like a charm. This remedy is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases such as colds, croup and whooping cough, and it is famous for its cures. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by E. P. \Veed, druggist. l!)
