Harrison. No more pure, upright, able, generous and noble man walks the earth, then Hauler B. HARRISON. Any man and every honest and patriotic man, may well feel proud of the privilege of casting a vote for him. He was in no sense responsible for the unjust and contemptible slurs uttered by an over enthusiastic delegate, and is the last man who would approve of them. W Local Timber for Candidates. The ball is .now opening for the selec- tion of our candidates to be voted for in November. For congress, in this district we have heard of no one seriously men- tioned other than L. W. Coe, who will to-day be rcnominated without a doubt. For state senator, Mr. Geo. W. Cowles undoubtedly has the “inside track” for a nomination if he desires it. Many of his best friends wouldbe glad to see‘him hold his senatorial fire and allow himself to be elected for the fifth term (a thing unpre- cedented in the town’s history) a repre- sentative from this town. As a member of the senate he would simply fill the bill of a quiet, orderly and sagacious senator. Mr. E. J. Hill has a number of earnest friends'who Would be glad to see him elected to fill out, at least, the one year of Mr. Hyatt’s unexpired term. There might (be a few republicans unwise enough to withhold theiryotes from him, but he would more than make good all such deficiencies by captures from the ranks of the democracy. He would make a live and active senator and with his natural demonstrativencss could be relied upon to be heard from. For representative, Mr. Cowles would have an overwhelming preponderance would he consent to run again for the house. Next in popular preference after Cowles comes William H. Earle, esq.; then Dr. Coolidge, then’G. W. Cram and Andrew Selleck. All of these would make earnest and faithful public servants, and would win credit and renown for our town and for themselves. . __.._..4+>————- All Hail Glorious Maine! The latest returns from Maine, showing a repubilcan plurality of more than twenty thousand surpasses the most sanguine expectations of the most ardent of Mr. Blainc’s friends. The vote isthe largest eyer polled, and shows that thousands of dem- ocrats voted for our candidates. It is a “stunner” for the democrats, and proves that the campaign of slander and brutality waged by our opponents has won us a vast body of hitherto democratic voters who believe infair play, and havebcen dis- gusted with the methods of their own party leaders: This unprecedented victory proves the confidence the people of Maine have in the.integrity of Mr. Blaine, whom they know, and how greatly they admire and revere him. It proves too, the tri- umphant election of Blaineand Logan in November. ‘ ——-——-—————<+>—-—~-——- Butler Convention. The Labor party met at Meridell Wed- nesday, and nominated for governor Gen. J. L. Curtis, who is a wealthy New York business man with a summer residence ill Stratford, his old home. He .is about sixty. He was formerly colonel of the NinthNewYorkVolunteers. Resolutions were adopted endorsing Gen. Butler’s letter of acceptance. Judge Birdsall, of Westport, explained why he opposed Cleveland. The judge was nominated presidential elector from this the Fourth district, and J. S. Taylor and John Mur— phy are state central committeemen from Fairfield county. Mr. Curtis lives in Stratford only during the summer. His legal residence is in New York, and .consequently'llc is not eligible for election as governor of Con- necticut. ' ____.___4..,__._._. South Norwalk’s Republican Bally. The speech of err-Congressman Burrows - » at Music Hall last week was a masterly and convincing argument in favor of con- tinuing the republican party in power. - The'night was intensely hot, yet the house was well filled, many ladies being present. Mr. J. J. Millard presided in the absence of Mr. Baker, the president of the Blaine and Logan club. The Bigelows, headed by the new drum corps, marched down from the bridge dressed for the first time in their new uniforms, and making a very fine and animating appearance. DeSpite all the discomfort of marching on so hot 8. night the boys felt more than repaid for their exertions, in listening to the eloquent and entertaining speech of Mr. Burrows. Meetings are now likely to be held-fort- nightly to‘ the end of the campaign, alter- nating between the borough and city. *— Prohibition Judiciously Treated. , The policy of the republicans in Maine, by which the prohibitory amendment was entirely separated from national issues,was judicious, and ‘it was so emphasized .by Mr. Blaine, in declining to cast his indi- vidual vote on that. subject, that the question is also entirely separated from national issues throughout the country. It is purely a question of state policy wherever it has been raised, and it bears no relation whatever to the presidential vote—Chicago Journal. __..._———-4+>——-— .Further Dispnragemont of Blaine Wasted.

General Butler on the Spoon Story- In 1872, General Butler being about to make some speeches inthe west, Governor Hendricks in a public speech at North Vernon, Ind., said :——“ General Butler is coming over here and you must look out for your spoons.” General Butler did go over there, and a short time afterward he made a speech in the same place,in WhiCh he said :-“There are two kinds of lies in this world. There is the bold, manly, out- and-out lie, that somehow makes us re- spect the man that utters it, because he has the courage; the other one the mean, covert, insinuated lie, uttered by a man that dare not say it and yet wants to. It is that kind of a lie thin. was told at North ' Vernon. Every creature of earth judges according to the standard which he has, which has his own capacity, his own sense of propriety or his own prowess. The fly that lights on the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral looks round him to the distance of eight feet, the extent of his vision, and thinks it‘s a fair sightly piece of work. The pig that feeds out of the trough thinks it a very excellent piece of architecture; that is‘the best he can do with his instincts, and that is as much as he can understand. He does not understand the mansion at the back of whose barn his trough is at all. Every man, therefore, judges every other man by himself, and whoever he- lieves that I, a Major-General of the United States, with life and death at my fingers’ ends, exercising that unlimited and des- potic power given me by the war, went around picking up spoons, knows that he would have done so if he had been in my place. [Tremendous cheering] That is his conception of the office of a Major- Gencral. That is his idea what a man should do and what he would do, if he had the courage to go where he could do it, as I have. For the first time in my life have I alluded to it, except last night at North Vernon. I hung the man who tore » down the American flag on the spot where he desecrated the emblem of his country’s power [applause], and last night I pilloried the blackguard who struck at my charac- ter on the spot where he committed the crime.” [Loud cheers.] York Herald, September 30, 1880. ————-—-—<-O->————.‘ More ‘fllulliganfl We surrender considerable of our tele- graphic space this morning to the publica- tion of a series of letters alleged to have been written fourteen years ago by the Hon. James G. Blaine to Warren Fisher and Josiah Caldwell. These letters are concerning thebonds of the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad, and are a con- tinuation of the series which James Mulli- gan‘carried to Waslringtou for the benefit of a democratic ipvestigating committee in 1876, and which were read by Mr. Blaine in the national house of representatives. They are presumably the letters which have been the subject of so many mysteri- ous hints in the democratic mewspapers of Boston since Mr. Blaiue’s nomination for the presidency. cation of these letters at this time is apparent. It is the despairing effort of Mr. Blaine’s enemies to turn the populpr tide against him. We print them as re- ceived, not as news, and with the full un- democratic campaign document, in order that Mr. Blaine’s enemies may not be able to say that there has_been anything "in his record which a republican newspaper need hesitate to print. Of their effect on the campaign we have no fears. The esteem in which James GnBlflllle is held by the American people will not be lessened by anything that 8. Fisher or a. Mulligan can reveal, or misrepresentations to which their revelations may be subjected by the democratic and independent press. The verdict of the people is already made up, and it will be recorded on the 4th of No- vember ncXt to the utter discomforture of the party which sought to defeat James A. Garfield by slander and detraction, and is now seeking by similar tactics to defeat . the man who was Garfield’s best and most trusted friend—New Haven Palladium. —-—————<+>—-——- Greenwich Barn Burners. The secret committee appointed to in- vestigate the Mead barn burning cases have reported to the citizens of Green- wich. The names of the committee are not revealed and the investigations were made by Pinkerton detectives. The de- tails of the burning of Alexander Mead's barns have been published repeatally. The investigation cost $250: The report recommends a further investigation and that the $2,000 reward be withdrawn. It also advises a suspensron of public opinion until the result of the investiga- tion is known, as innocent parties may be wronged. This is interpreted to _ mean a. belief In the innocence of David S. Hustcd. A resolution was adopted authorizing the committee ,to continue its investigations. ——-‘—4-.>————— Another Railroad Boomlet. A rueetiug was held in Boston last week of noted railroad magnates, who insist upon the building of an air line railroad between that city and New York. Com- petent engineers reported that such a double-tracked road could be built and equipped for twenty-five millions, and the belief was expressed that at this cost it would prove remunerative. Such a road would reduce the time between the two cities to three and a half hours. Is this another significant squint at Hartford and Harlem? ——-—-——<+>—-—————- All Expectations Surpassed. There is not a single break in the mag- nifiéent victory. It is beyond anything that was, or could have been expected. Such an unparalled victory as this in, Maine, if properly acted upon, will end the presidential contest by giving us an equally tremendous victory in Ohio in October.— Springfield Globe-Republican. ’ ___....,__ Willing- tofiave Three Wives at once.

Mr. John H. Buckley, the Rubber Web ‘ manufacturer, has been called to pass through the fiery furnace of affliction and in the death of his estimable wife, has undergone the most terrible bereavement that a man can experience.~ Mrs. Buckley had been a resident of Norwalk for several years and had endeared herself by her womanly virtues to all who knew her. Plain and unassuming and almost diffi- dent, in her retiring, modest disposition, she yet evinced those noble qualities as wife, moIer and friend, that won all hearts. For a year andmorepast, she has been an invalid, a terrible sufierer from a most serious complication of maladies. Yet she bore all her sufferings uncom- planingly, and placed all her trust in her divine Saviour. Herfuneral was attended from the Second Methodist church, the pastor :delivering a" most touchingly tender tribute to her'wortll. :Her remains were sepulchred in our_Union Cemetery. Besides her husband she leaves a son to mourn her loss. MRS. RUTH GOULD. The above lady, whose maidpn name was Ruth Sammis, and who was related to several of the older residents of Norwalk, died in Huntington, L. I., the 6th inst., aged ninety-eight years, ten months and fifteen days. She was a' daughter of David Sammiss, who was a. patriot of 1812, and imprisoned in the old “prison- ship” by the British. Herpfuneral was attended by Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, her former pastor. nonxlrr 1101:. Robert Hoe, of the firm of R. Hood; .00., died on Saturday, in his seventieth year. Mr. Hoe was born in New York city, and was the son of Robert Hoe, an Englishman, who came to the United States in 1803, from Hose, in Leicester- shirc, England, and founded the business house of R. Hoe & Co., well-known manufacturers of printing presses. His death recalls to memory the late Henry Betts, of Norwalk, whose eager brain seemed to force his head far in advance of his following body, as he used to walk our streets. To the inventive genius of Henry. Betts, was the Hoes indebted for their first conception of the rapid cylinder printing presses, from which they have reaped both fame and fortune. ' Mrs. Fanny Chichester who died in Brooklyn, aged 84 years, was a sister ,of Mrs. Eliza Gregory of East Norwalk, who died only two days previously, aged 89. Both were interred with their ancestors, in the Down Town cemetery. Sister Alphonsus, aged 26 years, enter- ed into rest, Monday night, her ‘disease being consumption. She was connected with St. Mary’s Parochial school and a lady of superior personal and educational accomplishments. Her remains were con- veyed by Undertaker' Raymond, this morning, to Meriden for interment. ______-_4+p.__——_ A Noble Charity. The Grand Army Fair is, progressing finely. ‘Thus far the borough business men are ofiering liberal presents for prizes and seem determined not to be out done by South Norwalk in this respect. At their fair last spring they reported to have cleared $700. New Canaan the fall before cleared over $300, and the people of Norwalk seem determined not to be behind either in ‘thcir remembrance of and generosity towards those who stood by their country’s flag in the hour of its peril.

The Danbury Agricultural society will again hold their annual fair in Danbury the first week in October. In connection with the fair will be a cattle and bench allow, and during the four days s'even trotting and one pacing event will take place, for which $2,400 in purses are set aside. The slow classes are well cared for, and the purses for the faster classes are sufficiently large to induoe entries of horses from all neighboring states. One hundred dollars extra will also be given to the first horse in the freeior-all class beat- ing 2:27.

New Steamboat Enterprise. It is reported that the Maine Central railroad has bought the Portland steamers Richmond and Lewiston. The Richmond will run between Portland and Annapolis, N. S.

The Newfields, of Stratford, came over on Saturday and played the Good Lucks of Winnipauk, and whipped them to the tune of 30 to 15. Political Paragraphs. is over then he will see what a mess he ‘ has made of his politics this year. Theindependent dudes should vote for one of their own sex. Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood is a candidate. A candidate for member of the Wiscon- sin legislature, R. F. Roberts of Racine, announces that his platform is protection, high license, good. drainage and the sup. pression of tramps. He wants all vagrants put to work breaking stone and repairing roads. It is a lamentable fact that many of the re— ligious journals of the country are discussing the scandalous points of the presidential cam- psi 11 with an unseemly plainess of speech and wi l unnecessary minufeness of detail. This is greatly to be regretted—Atlanta Constitution. If the democrats could only abolish the religious press for awhile, it would please them. And yet they were so very happy a few short weeks ago about the indorse- ments of Governor Cleveland in the some journals. Judge Birdsall tells the New Haven Union that he shall vote for Butler for ' president, and that the People’s party in Connecticut are to nominate state officers, and will have one of the strongest men in the state as candidate for governor. The Union asks, “Is this the Judge himself ?”—— Ansonia Sentinel. It is eight weeks to election. ' Will Mr. Cleveland heal the wounds in his party by stepping aside? We presume he will not. He will prefer to lead his followers on to a. fatal overthrow in November.— N. Y. Sun. ‘ SenatOr John Sherman has known James G. Blaine for a good many years now, and has had unusually good opportunities for arriving at a correct estimate of him. He told his fellow citizens at Ashland last Saturday that in nominating Mr. Blaine for the presidency the party had presented for the suffrages of the people a man of “the ‘most brilliant qualities"—-“an able and honest and true republican, with .a' mind of the highest order, with experience and executive capacity to perform with great credit the high duties of the great ofiice of chief magistrate.” Of his old associate, General Logan, he said he was “a brilliant soldier, an active senator, a man of high character.” The two, accord- ing to John Sherman, make a ticket “deQerving the confidence and trust of _ every republican.” ' We are sorry for the Hartford Times. It was once edited by a man. We had not heard that he was dead, yet such must be the fact.—-We are sorry for the Springfield Republican too. We imagined it had manliness enough to correct an error. Probably natural meanness can’t be cured, But let it go. The world is wide enough for all sorts—N. Y. Sun. They must be joking when they say that Jefferson Davis has consented to accept the democratic nomination in case Mr. Cleveland withdraws. Photographing Mr. Blaine’s Washington house, which he doesn't live in, perhaps a little phot'ography in Buffalo, Albany and New Rochelle would have a tendency to promote the picturesque in politics. At this stage in the canvass of Connecti- cut the republicans have good grounds for confidence. The situation is, beyond all question, far more favorable to the re- publicans now than it was at a corres- ponding pcriodin the canvass of 1880. There is a wider and deeper interest felt by the masses of the party.than there has been in any previous canvass for many years. This interest has shown itself in oral organization of campaign clubs and in an unusual amount of campaign work. —New London Day. ‘ Listen to the touching words of sympa- thy the ‘New York'Sun doles out to the unhappy so-called independents :—-“They can 'only see a- very foul and dark blotch where first they thought there was a shin- ing light. Their candidate whom they supposed to be morally pure and person- ally unobjectionable, has turned out to be a man not only gross and immoral in his habits but the confessed father of an ille- gitimate child, and presumably the be- trayer of an unfortunate woman.” It is said that at Governor Cleveland’s reception in Elmira the other day, one of bands played “The Girl I Left Behind Me," -and“Where is My Wandering Boy To-night?" ‘ But this is, doubtless, a mistake. - There is no comfort for the democracy in the news from Maine—not a bit. They should' not try so hard to whistle—the pucker is pathetic. 0n the 10th of July last the Philadelphia Times stated that “amajority of 15,000 foiBlaine’s candidate for governor in Maine would be an unerring index of a Blaine tide.” True as Gospel, and a mighty big. tide it is. Mr. Charles Dana, editor of the New York Sun was recently asked what he thought of Governor Cleveland’s weak points. He replied :—-.“The weak points in Cleveland are his ignorance, his dull- ness and narrowness of mind, his inability to deaLwith questions that require enlarg- ed intelligence, his coarse personal tastes and habits, his indifiercnce to the usages of cultivated and refined society, and his" bad record in private life. Besides he has hanged men, and, while that is a Ilse- ful, function, perhaps, one doesn’tlike to have had it performed by a man who is running for president." In 1864, the most trying days of the war, when the confederate states were holding together in the vain hope that their friends of the north would defeat Abraham Lincoln for the presidency, Thomas A. Hendricks, now democratic candidate for vice-president, said “he trusted life still remained in the masses, and that they had not been sunk so low by the four years of despotism but that they could rise to crush out abolitionism and hurl the smugty old tyrant at Wash- ington out of political existence.” In face of remarks like these which are on record too numerous to mention this is the man whom soldiers and the independents are urged to support for. vice-president in preference to the patriotic and brave soldier, John A Logan, who was in the field when Hendricks was doing his level best to defeat the Union cause. ._.___._‘..>———.
