All Halli
Probably ninety-nine out of every hun-
dred of the rank and file of the republican
party have had their two most ardent
wishes gratified in the nominations made
by the two Chicago national conventions.
Never since the nomination of John 0.
Fremont, until that of Mr. Blaine, has a
candidate been so conspicuously and un-
mistakably the choice of the voting masses
of the people, who neither seek or desire
ofiice for themselves, but only the honest
satisfaction of doing a freeman’s duty by
V the grand party that elected Abraham
Lincoln, emancipated the slave, restored
the Union, and wept with all the world
beside the couch of the dying Garfield.
Had there been no “machine politics” and
no “bosses," Mr. Blaine would surely
have been our nominee eight years ago at
Cincinnati, and again four years ago at
Chicago. But time, that at length makes
all things even, brought about a glad
emancipation by which the people in any
district ofany state could be heard, and
have their wishes and votes recorded for
the candidate of theirflchoicc. Thus it
was that Mr. Blaine came to be nominated,
not because of party “leaders," but in
spite of them, and because he was the
overwhelming choice of the best elements
of the honest, intelligent and industrious
masses of American citizens. And thus
it was that we present to the country and
an admiring world as the candidate of the
great and patriotic republican party, not
only its ablest and most prominent advo-
cate and leader, but the best equipped
and foremost statesman of our time and
nation.
That jealousies and ,lies should have
estranged some is no surprise. Nothing
is so unaccountable and unreasonable as
human prejudice when based on misin-
formation. That honest men should differ
from him in his earnest espousal of the
doctrines of protection, and the securing
at one and the same time of fair wages to
the teller and remuneration to the Ameri-
can producer, is their right and privilege.
But that truly good men, who are justly
sensitive to the charge of hypocrisy,
should desert Mr. Blaine and the republi-
can party solely and only because he has
been basely slaudgred, is a thing difficult
to explain, except at the expense of either
their intelligence or virtue. That they
should go over to that party for “reform,"
which fought four years to disrupt 'the
Union and deluged this fair land with
blood and tears; which today is the friend
and shield of every form of vice and crim-
inal class that can minister to its majori-
ties in our great cities; that, to-day, vigor-
ously aids and profits by the miscounting
of southern votes, and in many states still
shoots and kills.and maims and terrifies
with impunity the sable voter, who in
gratitude for the party that has given him
freedom, essays to cast a republican ballot;
that even in New York showed its de-'
maniacal spirit by burning negro orphan
asylums, and murdering its innocent and
defenceless inmates; that intelligent and
good men can from pique or choice find
congenial association in a party with such
_ a record, staggers belief, and with every
day’s progress in the presidential canvas
now fairly inaugurated, we are sure the
numbers of such, if any such there be,
will rapidly decrease.
And what can we say with our hearts
overflowing with gratitude for the easy
victory our opponents have made not only
possible for us, but as sure as the stars in
their courses? Gentlemen of the demo-
cratic national convention and party, one
and all, we thank you! Thank - you
most sincerely and most profoundly!
Had you forced a nomination on Tilden,
with all his cipher record; on the brave
soldier, if not great statesman, Hancock;
on the statesmen, McDonald and Thur-
8man; on that ripe scholar, elegant gentle-
man and statesman, Bayard; or even upon
the versatile and brainy Ben. Butler, you
would have thrown down a gage of cam-
paign battle demanding our severest
efforts to defeat you. But with the politi-
cal and personal nonentity you have placed
before your own indignant party, whose
greatness is limited to 280 pounds of fatty
tissue, whose whole experience in public
life had been limited to a term of sheriff
and of mayor, and whose record as gov-
emor of New York has been noted only
for his slavish adherence to the wishes
and interests of those monopolies, especial-
ly grinding upon the poor; with the
presentation of such a candidate, and such
a straddling and hypocritical and futile
attempt to conceal your free-trade heresies
in your plaform, we deem our cause and
election sure, and over and over again,
' gentlemen, we joyfully thank you for it
all!

A Few Opinions.
Grover Cleveland of New York having
been nominated by the democrats for
president, the following opinions, express-
- ed a few days prior to the convention, are
of great interest:
I believe it would be a mistake to nominate
Cleveland. He seems to have weakened under
fire.—— Congressman Abram S. Hewitt.
Dislike of Cleveland is intense and general.
His nomination will be democratic suicide. It
will merelyjhange a million votes to Blaine.—
Bocton P' (Wolfe) dam.
Mr. Governor Grover Cleveland is so gener-
ally disliked, and, what is worse, despised,
that he has no show of our ing this state [New
York] against James G. lama—Fireman’s
Journal (Catholic) dam.
The distrust of Mr. Cleveland is not confined
to any one organization or locali . It exists
in every part ofNew York. and in e strongest
and most influential quarters. ‘ * Ifthe de-
mocracy must be beaten in 1884 there are plenty
of honored and distinguished statesmen who
might be selected to lead the doomed army,
w out invoking, in addition to the calamity
of overthrow, the danger of disorganization and
dissolution—.Ncw York Sun.
There is an element in this cam sign—an
organized, solid, strong, determine element.
an mainly a democratic element, which sil-
ently a‘vvaitel the Jesuit a: ghilc o, and which
comes e yin aocoun . e n League.
It has nflaith in Governor Cleveland. It hag
some faith in James G. Blaine. Does the
democratic party desire to give it cause—ex-
cuse, if you please, for solo over to Blaine in
an avalanche and ensuring! 'm the electoral
vote of the state of New ork, and by conse-
quence the election—Rochester Union, dam.
Mr. M. B. Gallagher, president of tho Par-
nell Branch of the Land League said : “I
would cut off my right hand before I would
vote for Cleveland. He will get few votes from
among the Land Leaguers. He is an aristocrat
and a' friend of monopolists and bondholders.
The Irish people ml prefer Blaine to Cleve-
land. The workin men all over the count
are now thorough y o ' d in trade anrd
other unions. They wil never indorse Cleve-
land if he is nominated. He acted as a cor-
poration lawyer when he vetoed the five-cent-
arc bill. That is in itself enough for an issue
to kill him if he is nominated. His nomina-
tion will mean political suicide for the demo~
cratic partv."
, .
Gettysburg.
Professor Brucngher, of the Gettysburg
college, and also president of the National
Soldiers’ Memorial association, assured
the writer that the 17th Connecticut’s
memorial monument was the finest in con-
ception and execution of anything of the
kind yet placed on that sanguinary field,
and there are large numbers already erect-
ed. Hc further says he has listened to
every dedicatory oration thus far delivered
on that field, and none in his judgement
approach in excellence of matter and man-
ner the oration of Private Lounsbury of
the 17th; It was indeed a profoundly
thoughtful address, impressive and elo-
quent in composition and delivery.
For Lab orina' Hen to'jlook At.
From the Republican platform—“IT Is

TEEEsTs 0F I'rs OWN PEOPLE. Tm: LARGEST

THE END THAT AOTIvE AND INTELLIGENT

JUST REWARD AND THE LAnonINe MAN me

THE OTHER sIDE.
From Governor Butler's speech in open
democratic convention—“I came here as
no mendicant. I came here representing
more than 1,500,000 laboring men. I
brought their condition before the com-
mittee and demanded, not that it should
give them anything, but that when taxing
the people the tax should be taken where
it would hurt them least. Was not that a
reasonable demand? Do they think that
they could get along without that? I
think not. I object to the tariff plankin
the platform of the committee because it
took the committee thirty-six hours to ,
frame it, andif it took these gentlemen
so long to frame it and get it in form
there must be some reason for that. If
they could not find out in thirty-six
hours what they wanted, how are my
laboring men to find out what it means?
[Laughton] There is a radical difference
between the committee and myself. The
very able chairman of the committee, Mr.
Morrison, thinks there should be no such
thing (or could be no such thing) as
protection to American labor. By taxation
I believe that there should be such
protection, such fostering, such cherish-
ing. Mr. Morrison could not yield his
convictions and I could not yield mine
and therefore the committee had to spend
all that time to say something that would
mean one thing one way and another
thing another way. [Laughton] I .ask
delegates to read that tariff plank and see
if they can find out exactly what it does
mean. It does not mean protection. If
it does 001. Morrison is too honest a man
to bring it here, and yet it so twisted that
it might mean protection. [Laughton]
The democracy had in its platform in
1880 a plank of “Tarifl for revenue
only," and it broke the back of the - most
gallant soldier in the country [laughter],
and now they have a tarifi plank “for
public purposes exclusively." Where is
‘the difference ? “Exclusively" means
“only,” and “only" means “exclusively.”
[Laughton]
Then and Now.
‘ Four years ago, the day General Han-
cock was nominated, Judge Birdsall of
Westport telegraphed from New York to
Westport—“Hancock is nominated. Get
out the gun." Before the setting of the.
sun one hundred guns were fired in that
quiet village and a Hancock Legion was
formed. Two years ago, largely through
his exertions, Governor Waller was
nominated and elected, and the Judge
is said to have raised amongst his
friends in New York nearly all the money
used by the democracy to defray the
expenses of the State Central committee,
besides giving Waller $500 for his “(lees-
trfet.” 4 a
Last Friday afternoon, after Cleveland’s
nomination, Westport was as quiet as a
Quaker meeting. Our curiosity was
somewhat aroused at this silence and we
sought to learn the cause. We found the
democracy over there wearing faces as
long as their‘ wait for the election of a
president, and upon calling on the Judge
discovered that he was as “blue" as the
rest. On asking how he liked the
nomination he replied: “Don't speak of
it. It has‘nade me sick to think that the
old party that I have served so long has
lost this golden opportunity for success.
With one of our old and tried statesmen,
Bayard, Thurman, or Randall, victory
was within our grasp this fall, but the
Cleveland ring has thrown it all away and
turned our convention into a Blaine
ratification meeting by nominating this
pigmy who is nothing but a creature, a
tool of the monopolists, a man without
either ability or character.” Striking the
table with his clinched fist the Judge
continued: “I will never support him;
never! , I have always been a democrat;
Icommeneed making political speeches
for Frank Pierce in 1852; I have labored
untiringly on the political rostrum in
every presidential election from that day
to this, always entertaining the belief that
the democratic party was the party of the
people, the workingman’s party. Our
candidates have hitherto been friends
of the laboring classes, but this man
Cleveland, by his every act since he has
been governor of New York, has shown a
disposition to place his foot upon the
neck of the laboring classes. His course
has been. to strive to make the rich men
richer and the poor man poorer and he
has succeeded in doing so by his veto of
the Elevated Railroad five-cent fare bill
and his veto last winter of the bill making
twelve hours a day‘s work for the 10,000
conductors'and drivers of horse cars in
New York and Brooklyn who are now
compelled to work seventeen hours daily.
I cannot so degrade myself and my
record as a democrat, an anthmonopolist
and a friend of the laboring classes, as to
vote to give him greater power, and
thereby dcbase and degrade the old party
that I have loved and served for eve;
thirty years, and its grand old leaders
who have been ruthlessly cast aside to
make room for this contemptiblc up—
start.”
We asked the Judge if he intended’ to
take any part in this campaign. He
replied: “I am so dazed at this suicidal
act, that 1 am not prepared at present to
say what I shall do, more than this that I
shall not hesitate to say to others what I
now say to you, that I will moor cote for
Cleveland. I infinitely prefer defeat to
dishonor! ’lhc formerIconsider certain;
through it the latter may be avoided. If
I raise my voice in this campaign it will
be to prevent the inefiable disgrace to
democracy'of the election by my party
of a man who possesses such a disgraceful
record, both politically and personally, as
Grover Cleveland does.”

Narrow Bloom.
On Thursday while a row boat contain-
ing Charles Glines and another party was
being towed up the harbor by a sloop, the
little steamer Pinto passed on her up trip
to South Norvvalk. Thinking to reach
home quicker the persons in the row boat
cut loose from the sleep and attempted to
fasten to’the Pinto. In some manner the
the row boat was overturned and the two
occupants thrown into the water. Mr.
Glines, who could not swim, was fast
sinking when his companion succeeded in
reaching him and buoying him up until
the sloop, which they had left, came about
and rescued them. Mr. Glines and his
companion were greatly exhausted, and
had not the assistance been prompt one or
both must have quickly succumbed. At
the p,esent writing neither of the parties
appear any the worse for their involuntary
bath.
Inching Club.
Since the republican nomination, mem-
bers of the Bigelow Battalion have been
taking steps to form a “Marching Club”
similar to the one which won such golden
laurels four years ago. Already there are
some seventy names secured and the
prospects are that this number will be
largely increased in a few days. The
paper is at J. G. Gregory do Co.’s store
and all who wish to parade in uniform
during the coming campaign are cordially
invited to sign it.
William Hands. ,
Residents about the bridge were startled
on.Friday evening by the news of the
sudden death Of William Hands. He had
evidently been failing for some time, and
by his friends it was attributed to an in.
jury he received last winter from slipping
on an icy step and striking his head. He
had also recently complained greatly of
the effects of the sun on his head. and his
difficulties were doubtless aggravated by
want of‘a'pr0per care of himself. He lost
his wife some time since, and thus leaves
two bright little boys in orphanage. Mr.
Hands had been in business here for more
than twenty years, and was always public
spirited and enterprising. He was born
in Savannah, Ga., in 1845, while his father,
William Hands, sr., who survives his son,
was a resident of that city. He was one
of the originators of the St. Joseph’s
Benevolent society and at one time its
president. He was one of its most active
members in inaugurating and carrying
through its successful Fourth of July
picnic. He was always a leader in his
political party since his majority. He
has been elected on the democratic ticket
at different times,a selectman of the town
and a burgess of the borough Of Norwalk.
He was always actively and earnestly in.
terested in~our fire department. and has
been alternately foreman and treasurer of
Phoenix company, and also an assistant
engineer of the borough fire department.
His funeral was attended yesterday, and
was an imposing spectacle. The proces-
sion was headed by the banner of St.
Joseph's Benevolent,society, appropriately
draped. Following this on the left side
of the street, were the members of the
society, and opposite them was a large
delegation from the fire department, Chief
Prowitt in charge. Beside the hearse
were Messrs. G. Franks, Slawson, Kemp,
Matheis, Hadden and Benedict, six of the
oldest members of the fire department,
who acted as pall bearers. Behind the
hearse was a carriage completely filled
with elegant floral tributes from friends
and from each of the several companies of
the fire department. The sad procession
moved dowu West avenue to St. Mary’s
church where the burial service was held,
after which the remains were sepulchrcd
beside his wife in St. Mary’s cemetery.
Mr. Hands’s orphan children will be
cared for by his age‘ parents residing on
Belden avenue. He was the owner of the
Main street store property where he corr-
ductcd his business, and was attending to
the erection of another building adjoining
when so suddenly stricken down in the
prime of his manhood.

Company F’a Picnic.
CompanyF had a fine day for their
bake, Thursday, and it is safe to say the
weather was appreciated. The company
with their invited guests assembled in the
armory and at 9:15 left Keeler’s dock on
the steamer Pinto, amid the beating of
drums and sundry hangs from huge fire
crackers which, together with a couple of
tin horns, Messrs. George Darrow and
Amzi Waters endeavored to lend total and
noise to the occasion. The sail down the
creek was without special incident and at
South Norwalk another party was taken
aboard including Colonel Watson and his
staff who had been invited to attend.
The colonel was cordially received and
the little boat sailed down the harbor
with all on board in the best of humor.
Reaching Nauvoo Island the boys were
ferried ashore and then, the fun com-
menced. The monster bake was asuccess
and the “sojcrs” filled themselves full of
the good things provided. After “mess”
speeches were the order of the day and many
happy remarks were made. Not the least
applause was won by expressman Buxton
who suddenly stopped in the middle of a
wild Indian act to masticnte a huge
watermelon which in some mysterious
manner had became entangled amongst
his whiskers. Drummer Henry Matheis
was also presented with a water melon
much to his chagrin. Some Of the boys
went in swimming greatly to the detriment
of the clothes left on the shore. About
half past four the boys all sailed for home
uniting in their praise of the day’s fun.
The only unpleasant feature of the
whole affair was the action of Captain
Clark of the steamer Pinto, who, after
contracting to take the party from Keeler
& Holmes dock to the island and return,
failed to carry out his agreement. The
boat was anchored nearly an eighth of a
mile from the island and the boys were
compelled to ferry themsélves to the
'shore in a skiff, although the steamer
could have been run much closer to the
0
land. The same course was pursued on
re-embarking and the party was thorough-
ly disgusted with the proceedings. Upon
reaching South [Norwalk the captain
refused to run any further, claiming that
his boat wOuld not float in the creek at
low water. The boys were thus com-
pelled to disembark at South Norwalk
and many were obliged to walk up town,
although according to agreement the
steamer should have brought them back
to the starting place. The party were
very indignant at the captain’s refusal to
carry out his contract and justly refuse to
pay for services not rendered. Captain
Clark seems to be altogether too independ-
ent of the public to further his own
interests. .
With the exception of this disagreeable
incident Everything passed off pleasantly
and the picnic at Nauvoo will long be re-
membered by the members ofCompanyF.
W
. Tue East Avenue Station.
Last Wednesday morning according to
previous notice given in the GAZETTE,
President Watrous and Vice-President
Reed, of the Consolidated road, met a
committee of citizens at East Norwalk,
and made a careful and exhaustive exam-
ination' of the advantages which would
accrue to the road and the town in case a
station was placed at that point. It was
agreed that the most convenient spot for a
depot was at the south-eastern corner of
the little bridge which spans East avenue.
The road was offered the ground free of
cost, provided they would erect a suitable
station at their own expense. This propo-
sition was favorably received and from a
private letter from President Watrous,
written subsequently, we learn that he is
“greatly impressed with the reasonable-
ness of the suggestions made, ,and with
the wisdom of a station at the point where
the railroad crosses East avenue.” There
was a large number of our prominent
business men present at the meeting, and
it seems thagpublic interest in the matter
is thoroughly awakened. It certainly
would be a great convenience to people in
that locality, as well as townspeople 'at
large, if a station should be placed on that
side of the river. Mr. Watrous will write
Mr. Cram in a few days, and give the
decision of the road in the matter.

The First Gun for Cleveland.
Promptly upon the receipt of the news
of Cleveland’s nomination, the Central
Labor Union of Rochester, N. Y., held a
meeting. The New York Sam sums up
the result in the following words: “The
Central Labor Union, representing every
trade and labor union in the city, held a
meeting to-night (Friday) and adopted
'a resolution to the effect that Cleveland
was an enemy to their interests as
workingmen and that his nomination
was an insult to the workingmen of the
United States.” This is the first gun but
we opine that its echo will be louder than
the original report.
Military Shooting.
On Wednesday the long talked of rifle
match between companies F and D took
place at the range of the former on the
Westport road. Company F was heavily
handicapped by the absence of three of
their best men, and the substitutes failed
to do much cfiective work. The score at
the end of the contest stood: Company
D, 253; Company F, 219. ‘
