The republican electors of the several towns of this state are hereby notified to send the usual number of delegates to the republican state convention to be held in the Grand Opera Belles in New Haven, on Wednesday, August 20th, 1884, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, for the purpose of nominating candidates for state ofiicers and presidential electors, and appoint- ing a state central committee. In accordance with the rules adopted by the republican state convention in 1876, the following additional notices are given :— . 1.

A canons of the delegates vention will be held in Loomis Hall, Haven, on Tuesday, August 19th, 1884, o’clock p. m. _ 4. Each town is entitled to two delegates for each representative in the general assembly. By order republican state committee. CHARLES J. COE, Chairman. Hartford, July 29th, 1884. to the state con- \NQW at 8 The Earthquake. Norwalk, together with a goodly portion of the rest of the United States, expe- rienced the rare pleasure, if pleasure it be, of having a genuine earthquake, on Sun— day. About ten minutes past two, people were startled by a rumbling noise while houses, trees and the ground shook like a Whistleville man with the ague. A great deal of excitement was caubed and no little fright. Many people rushed from - thei ouses and awaited their suppbscd destruction with blanched faces. But it didn‘t come. Reaction did, however, and then everyone declared they weren’t afraid. We had no idea this was such a courageous people until we talked with some yesterday. It is apparent that in case Blaine precipitates this country into a war with England he need only call Norwalk to the rescue. The English will then give in. It‘s a brave town and a brave people. - That is if the people. may be believed. The shock had various degrees of severity in various parts of the town. Some houses were more severely shaken than others. It was according to the foundations. Those on rocky ground felt the shock most. Mam street people were badly shaken. At J. B. Hurlbutt’s house the door bell was set ringing violently as was the case with many other places where the bells were suspended on wires. At the old Dr. Brown place a number of bricks were shaken from the chimney. At the residence of Mr. J. H. Buckley ' occurred the only accident reported here- abouts. Mrs. Buckley who had been ’ill for some time was sitting by the window; As the shock came she arose and started to cross the room. The house rocked so violently, however, that she was thrown to the floor and struck _her head against a piece of furniture receiving a severe cut. In some houses dishes on the shelves were displaced, vases thrown to the floor, pictures moved and things shaken up generally. In other places simply a jar was felt such as is produced by the quick passage of a heavy wagon. The water in the, creek was considerably. disturbed. Altogether the experience was not a pleasant one, and though it only lasted half a minute causedlconsidcrable specu- lation as to its cause, only a few believing it an earthquake. The shock was felt from Maine to Maryland, but no serious damage was done. The only casualty reported was in ‘Hartford where a sick man died from the excitement produced by the occurrence. A similar shock was felt here in, 1847 though not so distinct. The only shock which approaches that of Sunday in vio- lence occurredin 1801. We don’t remem- ber it, but the fact is vouched for. ____-.__«>—-————-— Cleveland nut Speak. The whispered scandals respecting Gov- crnor Cleveland are no longer whispers. They have been given to the public through the press. and have a certain sanction given to them by the name of a clergyman who claims to have investigated . them and to have satisfied himself of their truth. Neither Mr. Clevelands reputation nor the cause which he represents, is helped by the defenses which have been attempted in certain quarters; such as that the country has only to do with the public and official career, net with the private character, of a public candidate; or that it has frequently honored by its .sufirages and accepted the public services of men of impure lives, as in the case of Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay and some public men of later date in American politics. If the charges against Grover .Cleveland are true, his friends should counsel him to take himself 03 from the ticket; and if they do not, the lovers of domestic purity and the respecters of womanhood should SWeep him off. If they are not true, the exact truth sh ould be told—told with authority, such as would give the country confidence that it was the truth. The family is more than the state‘; social demoralization is more dangerous and deadly than political corruption; and it would be better by far to postpone political reform for a season than to attempt to purchase it at so dear a price as the election of a man against whom such charges are presented, and from whom and from whose friends and supporters there is neither denial nor explanation. Every man isto be presumed innocent until he is proven guilty. This scandal has passed beyond the limits within} which a public scandal can be treated with silent contempt. Silen much longer continued will be taken for confession—Christian Union. W The Thirteenth Senatorial Vacancy. Presumably Governor Waller has net forgotten that a vacancy has existed in the office of senator for the Thirteenth district since the appointment of Senator Hyatt to the position of bank commissioner on the 26th of last February, although no executivc action has yet been taken with reference to a special election to fill the vacancy. Inasmuch as the time of the presidential and state election is now com- paratively near, the governor will be likely to assign the special election in the Thir— tccntll for the same date. At least there will be thirteen senators to elect“ instead of twelve, on or before the fifth of next November. The Thirteenth is regarded as a close district, and it is manifestly im- "ortant that the republicans select as their candidate in the coming contest their best and strongest man We observe with satisfaction that the name of George R.’ Cowles, of Norwalk, is one prominently mentioned in connection with the senator- sllip. There need be no further canvass.- Mr. Cowles would prove a thoroughly popular candidate, and his ability and fitness for senatorial duties are unques. tioncd. Helms represented Norwalknow for four consecutive years in the lower branch of the state legislature, where his record stands conspicuous for careful, painstaking and conscientious legislative work. We look confidently to the nomi- nation and election of Mr. Cowles to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Senator Hyatt.——Hartford Post. f Political Picklnl’l. , We are convinced and satisfied that the available candidate is Hon. P. C. Louns- bury of Ridgefield—a man well known and highly esteemed for 'his ability, generosity, business tact, unswaying principles and statesmanship. Mr. Lounsbury is about 42 years of age. fought for his country during the late war. has acquired a wide-spread reputation as an orator, and occupied various positions of honor, religious integrity and tht- Two years ago, in the Fairfield county caucus, before the republican convention, it was ascertained that Hon. P. C. Louns- bury was the unanimous choice of the county for first place on the ticket. Many delegates from Litchfield county liberally pledged their support to his candidacy. Finally, however, inthe interest of harmo. ny in the councils, it was agreed that Mr. Lounsbury’s name should not be presented on the floor of the convention. William H. Bulkeley therefore received the nomi- nation, and was.defeated at thepolls. This ' year ' Mr. Bulkeley vis anxious to. try lt again and his agents have been actively at work to prevent Litchfield \eounty from joining with Faiflleld county for the sup- port of Mr. Lounsbury. We can assure Mr. Bulkeley that, should he succeed ln securing the coveted nomination, his de- feat will endanger the success of the re- publican electoral ticket ;in this state. With Mr. Lounsbury at the head of the republican ticket, Fairfield county may. be depended upon for a rousing republican vote. With any other man, the dissatis- faction of previous yearswill be intensified, and the republican party must look else- where for its majorities.”-—Windham County Sunbeam. It will not do to assume that Windham county is solid for Mr. Harrison or any other man. The Hon! William H. Bulke- lcy of Hartford has many warm friends in the county, while we have heard Hon. P. C. Lounsbury’s name mentioned by many earnest republicans in this and adjoining counties, very frequently, and withwarmth that showed ' sincerity in the belief that he would prove amost available candidate, and great confidence that, when the smoke of the convention clears away, he will be found bearing the republican standprd in this year's battle. It is therefore a trifle early yet to assume that Windham county indorses anybody. As has been her custom for many years, she will hear all patiently, cast her vote in the convention for the man she believes to be the best man for the immediate conflict, and then give whoever is nominated a bigger ma- jority than any other cwnty in the state. —Willimantic Journal. “We know something nasty about Mr. Blaine, but we won’t tell what it is,” says Mr. Cleveland's defenders. “ We have some regard for the‘proprieties of life.” Out upon such snivelling hypocrisy! say we. Out upon such cowardly slanderersl If there is anything you can say about Mr. Blaine nastier than you have already said, ’say it now, or else forever hold your disreputable tongues. To one and all of the scandal-mongers who are vainly seek- ing to defend Grover Cleveland's shameful record by insinuations against his repub- lican opponent, we say, Have done with it! Tell what you profess to know, or else cease your idle babbles.——Ncw Haven Palltldimn. The Connecticut legislature to bc chos- en this fall will elect a United States sen- ator to succeed Hon. 0. H. Plait. The gentleman, if a republican legislature is chosen, will doubtless be his own succes- sor. So far there has been no opposition developed, and the party generally is sat- isfied with the manner in which Mr. Platt has performedthc duties of his office.— Morning News. The country has been waiting for several weeks for Governor Cleveland to put his foot on the alleged Bufialo scandal, but although a. democratic paper or two inti- mated that something was to be done, ap- parently nothing-has been done. What is the public to infer, especially when certain papers have entered upon a course of pal- liation rather than of refutation.-——Wuter— bury Republican. . The veteran poet, John G. Whittier, has no sympathy with the assistant democrctic movement. Enclosing an unsolicited cheek to Chairman Lodge of the Massachusetts republican state committee, he writes: “I am 'not prepared to abandon republi- canism and go over to a party whose principles and measures I have constantly opposed for the last, quarter of a century.” Palladium. And'now the Hon. John Bright, the great English liberal, has written a letter opposing Mr. Blaine as the representative of a protective tariff. Mr. Bright hasn’t anything against Mr. Blaine as a man, but he would like to see British interests pro- moted by the adoption of a free trade policy in this country—Palladium. In a severe, but not too severe, comment on the New York Time’s course in per.- sistently sticking to one of its exploded falsehoods about Mr. Blaine, the Sun em- ploys two very pat phrases—“phenomenal stupidity" and “deliberate dishonesty.” They size up the New York Times very accurately.—-00uravnt. ‘ There is jealousy in the independent camp. Mr. Cleveland has had all the prominent democratic leaders in council with him, and has been to see Uncle Til- den, but he has so far failed to indicate the slightest desire to receive any advice from the Curtis-Schurz contingent.—Pal- ladium. ' We have published it repeatedly, and will publish it again whenever it is asked for. We hold that Grover Cleveland is not fitted to be president, and that he has done nothing to merit such promotion.——'New York Sun. ‘ The next governor of Connecticut lilies in Ridgeficld, and his name is Phineas C. Lounsbury.—‘-00nmdtbut Republican. Quite Correct. The private life of a candidate for president is a :proper subject of alumina- tion. No matter if he displays honesty in financial affairs, no matter, indeed if he exhibits every political virtue and all possible administrative talents, yet we say that if his mode of,life is beastly, if he is given to coarse intrigues and purchased amours, if he is, in short, not a man, but an animal, tllcn we do not want him for. president of the United States. We do not believe the American people will knowingly elect to the presidency a coarse debauchee who .would bring his harlots with him to Washington and hire lodgings for them conveniently to the White House. —-New York Sm. , - Commendable Promptncaa. The claim of J. do T. Cousins for dam- ages to a case of shoes which fell from the - gang plank of the propeller City of Nor- walk on Saturday, July 26, was adjusted by Captain Perkins last Wednesday, just ten days after the accident. In view of the lengthy disputes, not to say litigations, indulged in by some companies in similar cases, the action of the managers of the propeller evidences their desire to treat their patrons with promptncss and fair- ncss. Such actions clearly explain the generous support rendered the line. _______«>—————- Notice to Advertisers.

The following is a personal letter from Julius H.18eelye, taken from the Boston Journal . Your letter ofyesterday is received, in which, referring to the recent charges againat the pr'n vats life of Governor Clevelan , you ask if I “can continueto advocate his election." In reply, I would aay that so far from “continu- ing, Ihave not yet begun to advocate it. I have advoeawd the la ing down of certain principles on which it as seemed to me im- portant totake our stand, and have thus far neither advocated nor opposed any articular candidate except as the prinoi les t emselves should do this.

A report was current hereabouts last week' that Oliver Hoyt, of Stamford, and his family, had bolted the republican nominations, We did not believe such a report of such .9 good republican, and now our doubts are confirmed by noticing the name of Oliver Hoyt first on the list of signers for the ormjzfiion of a Blaine and Logan club in Stamford, The Neptunaa Home. The Neptuncs left Cottage City yester. day morning, holnewsrd bound. They will stop at New London, and one or two other places, and will probably arrive in town sometime to-morrow. ‘ I .0 Grand Army aura . Buckingham Post, G. A. R. of the borough, have decided to hold their Post . fair on the 8th, 9th and 10th of October, . and have engaged the Opera House for that period. They have already received several articles to be disposed of at the fair and the indications are that the borough will contribute largely towards the success of the undertaking. The ob- ject of the fair is to increase the Post’s fund for the relief of widows and orphans of soldiers of the late war. In its own quiet way Buckingham Post is doing a gloriou's work in this respect and many a lonely and sore distressed heart has been cheered and comforted by ‘aid .from the Post.

A Sensible Preludioe. Commenting on the recent accident at the Cos Cob draw bridge, where the engineer of the railroad train omitted to observe the danger signals and was therefor thrown off the track by the elec- trical apparatus attached to the bridgg, the Stamford Advocate takes occasion to voice a feeling of insecurity felt by many. It says :—-“A notable accident was that which happened on the railroad at Cos Cob bridge last Thursday. While it proved the efficiency of the system adopt- ed to avoid running on an open bridge, it also showed that danger signals alone can’t be trusted. Engineers are but human, and they will forget—sometimes. But when the penalty of neglecting a signal is to run off the track, the incident is liable to jog the engineer‘s memory, as it were ~‘and it is much better than running into the river. A vote of the passengers on this question would undoubtedly show a very unanimous result. Nevertheless we cannot- get over our prejudice against the abrogation of the law requiring all trains to come to a full stop before crossing a draw bridge. When the railroad com- missioners- were allowed discretionary power in this matter, that moment the law, which has been in existence ever since the Norwalk disaster, was doomed.” W Rev. C. I. lead, I). D. Readers of the GAZETTE in Redding, of which Dr. Read is a native, descended from the distinguished first settler who gave name to the town which was origin- ally Reading, and attendants of the First church in Norwalk who were so fortunate as to be able to hear his two eloquent sermons preached there last summer, may be interested to_ road of his golden wed- ding which wns recently celebrated in Richmond. ’ , Among the clergy present were the dis. tinguished rectors of St Paul’s and St. James’ Episcopal churches, one of whom offered an appropriate prayer. The Rich- mond Central Presbyterian says :—“Dr. Hoge, as the representative of the Presby- terian clergy of the city, read amulet expressive of their sentiments at this com- memoration of the venerable pastor‘s golden wedding. Dr. Read has been in Richmond now as pastor of the Grace street church over thirty years—to be uni- and as a faithful minister of God by the whole community.” -—————-——-¢»“'—‘—_ Abundance of Pearl. If Mr, Seymour, of the South Norwalk nursery, takes the bunnerpn raspberries, Editor Lyon, of the Republican, beats the record on pears. During a recent call at the residence of Mr. Lyon we found such a show of pears as would gladden the eyes and taste of all fruit lovers. Mr. L. has thirty or more bearing pear trees on his hillside homestead, and t y are literally bending to the earth with fruit. There are several varieties of pears including some of the large kinds such as gave him the premium at the two last annual fairs of the County society, and Clapp’s Favor- ite, Bartlett, Seckel, 'and several early varieties. We found every tree propped, some with ten props, and the fruit not yet nearly grown. “Clapp's Favorite" is our favorite and Mr. Lyon has probably a full cart load of them now on his trees. Mr. L. has also an immense crop of maturing grapes, his vines not suffering from the, frosts during June and July, which van- ished the crop of grapes in many localities in this town. —-———.—-———<—O—>—————-" ' The Caucus.

Cold weather is approaching, and will be here before we are aware of it. The severe weather of the past winter has burned out many old and poor Furnaces. To those who are contemplating the pur- chase of new ones I have a few words to say. No better recommendation can be given or better evidence of pro-eminence produced, than when self-styled, would- be competitors copy or adopt old, and re. cnt expired patents of pioneer Furnace and hot air engineers,and try to imitate the products of men who have had 40 cars experience and have c ended hun reg of thousands of dollars, m originating at perfecting their Furna'ces, who are practi- cal mechanics, and know the laws of hot and cold air circulations and currents, who originate and invent and are alwa s 10 or 15 years in ADVANCE of the I- O - RATES, who have not brains sufilcient to invent, and are so destitute of HONOR as to use as much as possible any of the pat- ents of the original inventors, and just barelypvade the reach of the patent law. Imitations are positive admissions of the superiority of the originals. The Nevillecltlasl‘illllullau, Patented and recently introduced by the Richardson & Boynton 00., of New York and Chicago, is a perfect success, entirely new in every part, havingamong the many other new features, New Solid Double Upward Return Flue Radiator, which compels the products of combus- tion to travel from 20 to 28 feet before en- tering the smoke pipe, while all other fur-' naces carry it only from 2 to 6 feet before entering smoke plpe ; this alone increases the radlation more than 4 times that of all or any of the old styles and ordinary fur- naces. With this radiator and three flue solid.cast body, Ilmense radiating sur- face 18 given and great heat obtained by utilizing that which is usuull wasted by passing into the chimney. e construc- air to flow easily and without friction over the whole surfaces of the castings getting thereby the fullest benefit from fuel used.
