Vol. VI. Whole No.1483
l8 SU’RELY' ELECTED.
McKinley’s Majority for the
' Presidency Unshaken.
False Reports for Betting Purposes.
Notwithstanding the telegrams and
fake reports being sent out to the con-
trary, corrected returns up to to-day
give assurance that McKinley has with
absolute certainty 277 electoral votes,
or 53 more than a majority.
It is believed that the false reports
are being sent out in order to give the
betters a chance to hedge on their
losses.
They Rejoiced.
Last night’s Stamford Advocate says:
Warden George E. Seeley of New Ca-
naan, with about twenty of the voters
of that borough, Visited this city last
evening as guests of John Fitzpatrick,
W. B. Unholtz and H. G. Benedict.
As the good news about midnight
proved so emphatic, the visiting friends
let loose their pent-up enthusiasm in
songs of patriotism, led by B.F. Keeler,
of Grace Church choir of Norwalk.
The voices of a thousand voters made
melody on the midnight air in singing
“My Country ’I‘is of Thee. New Ca-
naan is all right.”
¢
Grace Church Reception.
Mrs. Robert Van Buren inaugurated
and successfully carried out, as she
always does, a Grace Church Parish
Reception last evening at the Rectory.
There was a full house and no end of
enjoyment. Prizes were offered for
the best guesses of book authorship in
a delightful tableau, the first of which
was won by Miss Alice Cram. Mr. and
Mrs. Watkin’s were most genial and
cordial in the reception of their crowd
of guests.
“The Deacon’s Daughter.
This great comedy that’ has had an
immense run in New York and all the
other large cities, will be presented by
the pretty and bright soubrette, Miss
Lillian Kennedy, supported by a ex-

effects. This play is full of comedy,
medleys and dances of the day, and you
cannot afford to miss it. Watch for
its coming.
Supreme Court Cases.
Before the full bench of the Supreme
court yesterday, the cases of John I-
Throckmorton against William R.
Shelton, an appeal by the plaintiff, and
' the Village of Chester against Francis
Leonard, also an appeal by the plaintiff,

in the case of Charles S. Cole against
Isaac C. Fowler, on an appeal by the
defendant.

FOR A HAPPY ESCAPE
President Grover Cleveland
Issues a Thanksgiving Pro-
clamation.
Suunds a Note of Triumph.
President Cleveland has issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
The people of the United States
should never be unmidful of the grat-
itude they owe the God of Nations for
his watchful care which has shielded
them from dire disaster and pointed
out to them the way of peace and hap-
piness. Nor should they ever refuse
to acknowledge with contrite hearts
their proneness to turn away from God’s
teachings and to follow with sinful
pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it is fitting that, on a day
Specially appointed we should join to-
getherin approaching the throne of
Grace with praise and supplication.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here-
by designate and set apart Thursday,
the 26th day of the present month of
November, to be kept and observed as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout the land.
On that day may all our people fore-
go their usual work and occupation,
and assemble in their accustomed
places of worship. Let them with one
accord render thanks to the Ruler of
the universe for our preservatidgi as a
Nation and our deliverance from every
threatened danger; for the peace that
our defense against disease and pesti-
lence during the year that has passed;
for the plenteous rewards that have
followed the labors of our husbandmen
and for all theother blessings that have
been vouchsafed to us.
And let us, through/the meditation of
Him who has taught us how to pray,
implore the forgiveness of our sins and
a continuationbf-hQWWLet.
us not forget on this day of Thanksgiv-
ing the poor and the needy, and ’by
deeds of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal'of the
United States, which I have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
4th day of November, in the year of
Our Lord, One Thousand Eight Hun-
dred and Ninety-six and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of Amer-
ica the One Hundred and Twenty-first.

.HonontoeWhom Honor is Due.
Mr. McKinley, who has been elected
President, and Mr. Hanna, who so suc-
cessfully managed his canvass, should
return heartfelt thanks this morning to
the Hon. Thomas C. Platt, who assured
their common triumph by framing » the
supreme issue of the campaign. At St.
"Louis Mr. Hanna leaned toward a com-
promise, but Mr. Platt forced the fight-
ing and insisted that the convention de-
clare without equivocation for the gold
standard. Mr. Hanna yielded with
doubts. After the Popocratic conven-
tion had come out flat-footed for free
silver coinage at 16 to 1, a feeling pre-
vailed for a time in the West that Mr.
McKinley might be defeated by a com-
bination of the silver forces, and there
were Republicans who believed that
Mr. Hanna had been right in his con~
tention with Mr. Platt, the evidence of
which were diplomatically concealed.
The event has again proved the New
York leader’s foresight and sagacity.
Had the Republican convention trifled
with the money issue Mr. McKinley
would probably not be able to read his
title to the Presidency clear to-day.
It was because the gage was thrown
down fearlessly that victory followed.
And it is because Mr. Hanna canvassed
the country for Mr. McKinley’s nomi-
nation on another issue that both those
gentlemen should salute Mr. Platt as a
constructive statesman to whom the
chief credit is due for saving the Re-
publican party from a grevious blunder
and the nation from the breakers—N.
Y. Sun.
With no wish to disparage Mr. Platt,
yet it is due to truth to say that no one
labored more earnestly for honest
money, than our own “Sam” Fessenden
and it was his gold plank, taken bodily
from his Connecticut state convention,
platform that was incorporated into the
St. Louis platform.

Norwalk, Conn, Thursday Evening, November 5, 1896.
MARIGCLD 0R KNOWLTON.
Which Will Capture the Postmastership of
' Bridgeport.
Says the Bridgeport Farmer: At the
time Congressman Hill was a candidate
'5 for Congress two years ago, Col Knowl-
ton, of this city, was also a candidate.
The latter had considerable support
among the delegates. The fight be-
tween the two aSpirants threatened to
be one of bitterness, and there were in-
dications that it might engender feel-
ings of bitterness. A truce was ar-
ranged and a covenant made whereby
Knowlton Withdraw leaving Hill a clear
field. The price asked was the local
postmastership two years later, if Hill
was renominated and elected. This, it
is understood was accepted, and now
Knowlton bobs up serenely and asks
that the covenant be kept. He is not
at all disturbed by the claims of Mari-
gold’s friends and while he has no in-
clination to have the same made public,
it is understood he has commenced prep-
arations for his return to office.
Another story that has been related
concerning Knowlton’s withdrawal at
the time Hill was first nominated is that
Sam Fessenden sent for Mr. Knowlton
and asked him if he could afford to pay
$10,000 for the place. Knowlton’s
reply was not in the affirmative, where-
upon he is said to have been informed
that it required money to win an elec-
tion, and that there was a man in Nor-
walk who stood ready to pay $12,000
for the nomination. That man is said
to have been the successful aspirant,
Mr. Hill the present Congressman.
Marigold’s friends say that Congress-
man Hill owes his local support to their
man, and that he has not compromised
himself bypromiscs of any kind.
As to. thelast paragraph the GAZETTE
would say, “bush.”

Gets the More Back.
A small gray mare was found by Jar-
vis Kellogg in the yard at his home on
Center avenue, Saturday. Mr. Kellogg
advertised his find without learning of
a claimant.
‘Later the animal was advertised for
sale at the public sign post, according
to law. A
In the meantime the animal had been
provided with quarters at Gregory’s
livery stable. It was, however, found
before the sale took place, that the ani-
mal, a brood mare, belonged to the
mother of Mrs. Charles Swan, the wife
of the horseman.
Mrs. Swan was quite indignant when
called upon to pay something like $6
for legal advertising and $2 for the care
of the mare.

Superintendent “Mart” Kellogg cele-
brated the sound money victory, last

ing kept burning all night under the
watchful surveillance of drum major
Fred Merrill.
