Now For Business. _
At no previous time in its history has
the Republic of the Unite-i States, at
the close of a national election, faced
conditions so full of promise as those
which confront the country to-day.
We stand, apparently, upon the thres-
hold of an era of prosperity that has no
precedent. The Nation 'is at peace
with all the world, and no unsettled in-
" ternational questions with which it is
concerned threaten the slightest friction
in their final adjustment; our industrial
progress, forced at times beyond the
demands of normal conditions, is now
at a point where profit-yielding would
appear to be easy for many years to
come; our agricultural and manufac-
tured products are in unusual demand
allover the world; our transportation
facilities are superior to those of any
other country on the globe; billions of
dollars lie in the banks awaiting invest-
ment; the most skilled and generally
the best paid labor in the world stands
ready to combine with all this capital
in the almost
boundless resources; a sound currency
and public confidence are assured; and,
above all, a great political party, in
which the popular faith has never been
shaken, is about to take the reins of
government into its hands.‘
development of our
Every prospect pleases. The outlook
brighter. The business
world was never in better spirits or
WES never
more hopeful of a long period of undis-
turbed prosperity.
The Countryis Safe.
Although to the great majority of
readers and voters the overwhelming
rout of the assailants of our monetary
system and our National institutions is
not a surprise—for it has been dis-
counted almost from the beginning—it
is undeniable that with the realization
of the promise furnished by the elec-
tion figures this morning the whole
country heaves a deep, prolonged sigh
of relief. ; ,
The Republic is safe.
The people have justified the faith
that has been reposed in them. They
have reSponded to the test of their fit-
ness to determine the most intricate
questions of government, and their
ability to protect their institutions
against the most audacious, as well as
the most insidious, assaults, with a de~
gree of unanimity that cannot fail to
make the lesson instructive for all the
time. Whatever may have been the
history of other republics, this Union
of States, one and indivisible, need fear
no foe from within. Twwe it has stood
the shock of revolution and emerged
stronger than ever. Armed cfi’ort only
shock its foundations into firmer solid-
ty ; the subtler explosives of class hat-
red, cupidity and discontent have
scarcely left a tree: of their devilish
work on the fabric so grandly founded
. by the champions of liberty and so he-
roically wrought by four generations
of their posterity.
The appeal that was cirried to all the
baser lusts and passions that deprive
humanity in the abstract had no hear-
ing; the People gave them no welcome.
The treasonable attempt to destroy not
enly the honor of the Nation, but the
Great Republic itself, with the instru~
mun-is of its own defense, has failed
miserably, despicably and exemplar-fly.
The majorities from nearly every
Slat-9 in the Union, from everyone that
can make a claim to enlightenment,
. answer over slander and allay all anxiety
But a great duty lies before the
country. It 18 undeniable that, al-
though right and truth have won grand~
ly, there was a moment when ignor-
ance and crime threatened their defeat.
A marvelous crusade of light and edu.
cation diesipated the perils of mob
rule. If the gratitude of the American
people is as sincere as it should be,
they must, tree this day forward ad-
dress themsech, “Wort for the pro-
tection of their country against any iii-
ture peril from the as sources.
To the brave democrats who assisted
in saving the country yesterday, as in
’61, all honor is due.

Foot Ball.
The Norwalks arranged a game With
the Southport eleven yesterday after-
noon, and it was expected that foot ball
was to be played, but the Southports
sent over a gang of loafers and thugs
whose chief ability was slugging. They
were ably assisted in their loaferish
playing by Penny on the right end,
whose incessant off side play was the
feature of the game. He attempted to
assault Ross Burchard and was sent to
earth all in a heap. He gathered him-
self together and made another attempt}
This time he was sent flying through
the air and landed on his head. His
brother also could not resist being a
loafer, and called Austin Wakeman a
coward, prefixing an oath to the epi-
thet. He, too, was promptly stood
upon his head by the giant Wakei‘nan.
A red-headed loafer named Bailey
ably represented the Southports on the
side lines. His dirty mouth and cigar-
ette appeared to please himself even
though it disgusted the crowd.
The game resulted in a score of 4 to
0 in favor of the Southports, thanks to
th.c able assistance of the referee. All
in all it was the dirtiest and most dis-
graceful exhibition of loaferish football
on the part of the Southport eleven
ever witnessed in Norwalk.
Hogan’s Alley.
Says the Holland Herald : The Irish
comedy of Hogan’s Alley was greeted
by a packed house and many people
were turned away. This is the greatest
laughing success of the nineteenth cen-
tury and the acting, specialties, ctc.,
much better than the ordinary travel-
ing companies. The story and the
scenes are found in the New York
World’s famous Sunday pictures. The
principal features are the original
music, songs and comedy. Should this
company appear in our city again they
may always feel sure of a big recep-
tion.” The company will appear at.
the Norwalk Opera House on Monday
evening. November 9th.

Honors Were Easy.
Hon. E. O. Kecler received one vote
for Congressman yesterday and as if to
make honors easv Hon. E. J. Hill re-
ceived one vote for Senator. And both
men were happy last night when they
realized the immense majority of peo-
ple there were who favored continuing
them in their respective official capa—
cities.
