The County Commissionership.
The session of the legislature which
convenes at Harthrd to-morrow, has the
appointment of a county commissioner
for Fairfleld county to succeed the Hon.
Charles B. Wheeler of Monroe, whose
term expires on the first day of August
of the present year. There are three
candidates for the position now in the
field, Mr. Wheeler himself, Mr. F. O.
Secley of Bridgeport, and Mr. Bradley
Nichols of West Stratford. The latter
cannot be regarded as formidable and, as
we are informed, has no hope of being
successful, his only idea in allowing the
use of his name being to aid the cause of
Mr. Wheeler by drawing votes away from
Mr. Sceley. Such being the case he is,
virtually. a decoy candidate and no par-
ticular importance need be attached to his
canvass. ,
The two candidates to be considered
are, therefore, Messrs. Seeley and Wheel-
er. The latter has already served for two
terms or six years, and, while there can
be no question as to his having conscien-
iously performed the duties attendant
upon his office, there seems to be a
i decided wish on the part of many of the
county delegates that there should be a
change, And they urge to good effect
that Mr. Wheeler should now be content
to step down and out and give some
equally competent man and equally as
deserving a republican a chance to reap
what small honor there 15 in the position.
In this connection they bring forward
Captain Seeley and urge him for the place,
as being in every way qualified to fill it.
There is no doubt in our mind but that
Captain Seeley would make a good county
commissioner, and moreover, his selection
would bea flattering recognition of the
soldier element of the party. At the
outbreak of the war Captain Seelcy went
to the front and did his duty. More than
that he induced others from Bridgeport
to go and do theirs. Mr. \theler staid
at home.
The war has been fought and is long
since over. But the man who participated
in that struggle for national life and the
preservation of the Union should have
more respect and greater reward than 'he
-‘ . ~ -'e to fight, skulked and
, y _ :ain Seeley will be selected.
‘.. .. ..alk Overlooked.
It is not very flattering to our local
pride, to see the little hamlet of Songs-
tuck, rarely picturesque though it is,
present and have popularly and promi-
nently urged a candidate for president-
elect Cleveland’s cabinet, while Nomalk,
with all its array of brilliant democrats, is
not even so much as mentioned in such

Attorney John S. Seymour, John Hon-
necker, Warden Hyatt, Representative
Platt Price, Nathaniel Requa, A. H.
Camp, here at the Bridge; with General
Nelson Taylor, Jerry DonOvan, and ex-
Mayor Golden, at our spunky little city?
How could such rare tal'ent, such excep-
tional adaptability for cabinet timber, be
overlooked? Then too, just consider the
enthusiasm and brilliancy of their democ-

like these in venerable and grand old Nor-
walk, to be overlooked, while the musquito
marshes of humble little Saugatuck are to
yield up a formidable cabinet candidate?

'to endure, Mr. Cleveland will more than
likely get stuck with some New England
representative in his cabinet, with not
half the party zeal or good, common,

A Very Poor Start.
It seemed hard to realize last evening
that the burgesses who held their first
session in the Gamma Building, had been
elected by and as republicans. Indeed
there was no little suspicion that they had
bolted the party and gone over bodily to
the enemy, and that the few trifling
official crumbs granted to republicans
were only thrown at them from a feeling
of remorseful regret. And that these
suspicions were well founded and justified
will be admitted, aftera glance at their
appointments inanothercolumn. A more
direct folIOWing of a “fixed” programme
and a more inexcusable piece of political
stupiditywas neverexhibited in a republi-
can court of burgesses in Norwalk, before.
Our compliments to the new court of
burgesses, but they have made a great
mistake. And it is a mistake they will
discover before the next annual election.

The netting- Troubles.
In the matter of the hatters’ strike the
condition of affairs is about the same as
when the trouble commenced. The man-
ufacturers remain firm and take their
stand upon the matter as presented in
their recent public circular. Many of the
‘ men also remain firm but a large number
have been compelled to seek work in
other places. Several have, however,
given in and gone to work in the old shops
and this number is daily growing larger.
Yesterday some excitement was caused
by the arrival of a dozen foul batters but
as they were not expected by the strikers
they were off the train and into a conve-
’ nient refuge before any of the “strikers
persuasion" could be brought to bear on
them. Pending the building of their new
shop the Co-operative company . have
leased C. A. Doty‘s factory and are busily
at work getting out goods.
Beware of Them.
Many "one-horse” theatrical troupes
now traveling through the state, advertise
that their plays are presented for the benc-
fit of the striking batters at South Nor-
walk. So far as we know this is only a
scheme for drawing a large audience, as
we have been unable as yet to learn of
one troupe authorized to solicit patronage
on that account. The companies which
so advertise are in many cases not worth
the time spent in witnessing the enter-
tainment, much less the admission fee.
We should advise the executive committee
of the hatters’ association to prosecute all
cases coming to their knowledge where
such unauthorized statements are made.
Buffering the continuance of the swindles
can only work to the detriment of the
batters themselves.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, January 5,1885.
DEAR szsrrn:——New Year’s day was
the occasion of much social festivity and
probably much less convivial excess than
in any city of equal population in the
country. An organization of temperance
ladies made personal canvass of the
families who had published their intention
of receiving and kindly, but earnestly
requested that intoxicating liquors might
be omitted from their New Year tables.
In most cases these requests were
respected, and while less evidences of
intoxication than in former years were
universally apparent, there seemed to be
no diminution in the extent and enjoy-
ment of genial hospitalitics, or curtail-
ment of the resources of social entertain-
ment. It is devoutly to be hoped that
the time will soon come when it will be
esteemed an evidence of vulgar display
and the reverse of a refined hospitality for
any lady to set wines and other intoxi—
cants upon her New Year tables. Mrs.
Rev. T. S. Childs, assisted by the Misses
Childs, received at their beautiful home,
1,804 Connecticut avenue and welcomed
ahost of friends. Dr. Childs was with
them, having been prevented from calling
himself by a slight indisposition.
The Republican gives one of the comical
incidents connected with the fireside fes-
tivities of the day as follows:
A number of guests were at the home of a
well-known society lady yesterday when the
fair hostess proposed that every one should
open the bible at random and indicate some
articular verse, the contents of which would
Be verified during the year. She took the
book and opened it and Without lookingput
her finger upon the sixth verse of the sixth
chapter of the Son of Solomon. Upon it
being read she wast e recipient of the con-
gratulatiohs of all present and the rather hi-
larious cheer of all her acquaintances.
The President's reception was of course
the leading feature in the social life of
this gay capitol. There was no diminu-
tion in the crowd of friends who crushed
into the grand east room, because of Mr.
Arthur's early retirement from' all ’ the
glories of the White House. Mrs. Wm.
C. Whitney, wife of Prof. Whitney of
Yale College was among the ladies
present at this reception. Mrs. Senator
Frye had been invited to assist the
president’s sister in receiving, but was
prevented by the sudden death of the
senator‘s father, which’occured in Maine
the evening previous.
Mrs. Senator Hawley was assisted by
her sister in receiving at her elegant
parlors, and was paid the compliment of
a large concourse of callers. -
The heartiest enjoyment and most
animated crowds seen anywhere were the
callers upon General Logan. Mrs. Logan
was assisted by about a dozen brilliant
ladies, the wives and daughters of friends
in official and private life, but Mrs.
cashmere, with pink satin front and
panels richly embroidered in arrasene,
was the chief centre of the attraction of
her bright and happy home. About 1:30
p. In. nearly 200 members of the Grand
Army posts in the city called at the house
and were received by the ladies. General
Logan was out,'but was sent for and
came back just as the men in gilt buttons
and fatigue uniforms were leaving. He
insisted on their returning, and for half
an hour the ex-soldiers and the man with
the black hair cordially shook each
others’ hands and chatted of the war
times. A large number of senators,
representatives, and persons in army and
civil official life, were among the callers.
The Blaine family did not receive.
Mrs. B. placing a rare and choice porce-
lain card receiver beneath the door bell
of her family mansion.
Mrs. Representatives Eaton and
Mitchell did not publicly receive. Mrs.
Senator Platt and Mrs. Representative
Seymour were at their homes in Connec-
ticut. In this connection an error in your
last week’s washington letter should be'
corrected. It was written that lira.
Seymour had been in quite poor health
the present session. Your compositor
with accustomed inaccuracy got it Mr.
Seymour. The fact is that Mr. Seymour
was never more robust. 'His rc-el'ection
although by a greatly reduced majority,
and superb physical manhood. Mr.
Seymour,- like your correspondent, may
justly feel himself 'a veteran in' Washing-
ton, as we remember him as a bearuless
boy spending his winters here when his
able and justly honored father was in
Congress-from our district. This was at
the time when our venerated “good uncle
Truman Smith” had been transferred from
the House to the Senate, and Representa-
tive Seymour can now .convulse an
audience by narrating his boy experiences
in transporting “Uncle Truman’s” pet
Newfoundland dog from Washington to
Litchfleld. Acorrespondent of the Graph-
t'a gives these to us new and interesting
.historical reminiscences of our represen-
tative‘s most worthy and accomplished
wife:
' Mrs. Seymour of Litchfield, is doubly iden:
trfied vnth that town, as both her father and
grandfather were natives of'Litchfield and died
there, and her grandfather. Gen. Benj. Tall-
mad 9. was a representative in Congress from
that [strict from 1801 to 1817. Her father
Frederick Augustus Tallmadga, was at on:
time in the New York State Senate and was
elected to preside over it. He also held many
other important offices in New York, and rep
resented a New York district in the United
States House «Representatives from 1847 to
1849. Mrs Seymour, when a avhool girl, vis-
f.ed her parents in Washington while her fath-
er was,in Congress, and often meets those
whom she knew then.
The parallel in the lives of both Mr. and
Mrs. Seymour in having both lived in
Washington while the father of each was
in Congress, is an interesting and pleasing
coincidence.
MORE BBOTHERLY LOVE.
Saturday’s Washington Star has the
following bit of interesting political re-
miniscense :-- '
The National Repbulz‘can reverts fo—day to
the question of responsibility for Blaine’s de
feat in an editorial which bears the marks of
“authority,” both in its disclosures of fact:
and its style. Starting with the, assumption
that many Causes combinedvfo defeat the re-
publican ticket, it denies that among them can
be included the secret treachery of the admin-
istration. The article claims that from first to
last. President Arthur and his cabinet stood
ready to render whatever cam aign service
they roperly could. audit more an intimate.»
that one profi‘ers on their part were refused
by Chairman Jones on the ground that the
latter believed he could carry the election in
face of apparent lukewarmncss on the part 0‘
the administration, and preferred. to adopt a
policy which would put the administration in
such an unfavorable attitude. He- preferred
to take all the risks and get all the glory.
It is claimed that at a certain point in the
campaign Senator Hawley called on the presi—'
dent, at Chairman Jones’ request, to as him
to take an active part in the canvass. At this .
conference an understanding was reached, and ’
the president agreed to comply with Mr. Jones‘
wishes, and did re are aletter for publica-
tion in accord wit r. Jones’ views. This
letter was taken to that gentleman by Senator
Hawley, with the distinct understanding that it
was to be used at his discretion; but for some
reason it was quppressed. The lu'epublican
charges that this was done to put the adminis-
tration in a false light ‘that Mr. Jones had seen
to the president for be p, expectm and hoping
for a refusal, and that when, on f e centrary,
he found the president willing to follow the
course he advised. he himself refused to carry
it into execution. The Republican acquits Mr
Blaine of any responsibility for the course
which it says Mr. Jones chose to adopt.
The Republican claims that all the facts to
support its very singular and serious charge
are in its possession and it calls on Senator
Hawley to confirm its statements. A card
from that senator would Just now be "mighty
interesting reading.”
It is generally thought that General
Hawlcy, however he may regret it, will be
forced into this unprofitable. controversy
and, if so, will fearlessly tell all he knows.
There are no intelligent republicans here-
abouts who doubt, that both Secretary
Frelinghuysen and Postmaster-General
Hatton did all in their power negatively
to secure the defeat of Mr. Blaine. It is
charged by some New Jersey republicans
that Mr. Frelinghuysen even refused to go
the polls and vote. Be these charges and
counter charges as they may, it is worse
than foolish to discuss them now.

The letter from the president-elect to
George Wm. Curtis has stirred up a more
profound interest here than all the social
gaietics of the holiday season. The great
army of government employees are
struggling to comfort themselves with its
clear assurance that faithful and meritori-

land, are equally anxious and dismayed
for fear that after all they are to be kept
out in the cold to furnish wink-republi—
cans are kept. in office. Ono of these
latter said to us:—~“What is thedmuo-
Cl‘atic party for, or what is the use of if,
if it won’t. turn republicans out. and put in
democrats when it. has a chance." 31‘-
twixt their doubt and hope, and rapidly
augmenting board bills, this “advance
guard” is in anything but a happy stale of
mind. Republican clerks, on the other
hand, are assured that Cleveland is a man
of few words, and never uses language to
conceal his real purposes, and so they
feel about as Paul did when heslghtcd the
three taverns. But then, again, they reflect.
upon the cagerncss with which democratic
congressmen labored for the passage of
the civil service law and then as soon as
they got control of the House swept out
every republican employee from stcno-
grapher and reading clerk to ptlgt‘. and
sweepers—not cven sparing the old colored
woman, who had for years been given
charge Of the ladies’ retiring room he—
causc her husband lost his life in the war
for the Union—then it is that our republi-
can friends become uneasy again. So
that the state of mind of republicans and
democrats is about this :——Thc republicans
fear that Cleveland has lied to Curtis, and
the democrats even more greatly fear that
he has not lied. It is safe to predict in
this dilemma that Mr. Cleveland will
either be compelled to run with his party
machine or otherwise he will be crushed
by it. It is but fair to give him a. chance
to verify in action his assuring utterances
to Mr. Curtis.

Moan mun Tums.
The democratic House has done all in
its power to increase and extend the rigors
of the prevailing hard times. In refusing
to pass the usual and requisite naval
apprOpriation bill it has forced the dis—
charge of every. employee in all the navy
yards, naval stations, the naval academy,
and naval training ships and schools.
There are many sad and painful records
made compulsory by reason of the demo-
crats in the House stubbornly refusing to
accept the bill passed by the Senate,
which wasidcntically their own bill of last
session.

called in consultation to examine the state
of General Grant’s health, and had arrived
at the conclusion that the general was at

of his mortifying business entanglements,
and his own financial ruin brought about
by his connection with his son’s firm of
