when we experienced our very liberal
share of the great earthquake shake. We
of the republican ticket becomes more-
cncouraging. In the opinion of thorough
canvassers; men acquainted with the
booking baggage for Ashville and learn-
which was due at 9 p. m.,
preferences and prejudices 0' the political stood on the betel balcony of the second
sentiment in various sections of the state;
men who keep a sensitive finger on the
public pulse, a sufiicient number of dele-
gates will be pledged and will voluntarily
rally 'round the Fairfield banner from
choice, to effect Mn. Lounsnunr’s nomi-
nation on the first ballot.
And such a graceful recognition of this
county’s claims, andsuch a just tribute to
the merits of the man, would do credit to
the convention and honor to the state.
The Gums, two years ago, had the
honor to present Mn. Louusirunr’s qualifi-
cations for the distinction of standard
bearer, and urged his nomination on be-
, half of the county, “not because it is
thirty years since this county has been
complimented by the selection of a candi-
date from within its boarders; not because
Fairfield county has been the very Ther-
mopylae of republican effort in the state;
not because we would sentimentally pose
in a ‘fsvorite son' attitude before the
earnest republicans of Connecticut; not
because {none know nim but to love him,
or name him but to »praise;' but because
we thoroughly believe and think we know
that, all things considered,Ma. Lounsnuar
possesses in a greater degree than any
other all those elements of strength requi-
site to ‘organize victory.‘ ” .
What was true two years ago is equally
so at the present time; and the GAZETTE,
with all due regard for the services and
ability of the other candidates, takes the
same ground to-day. Mn. Loussauar’s
manly and dignified acceptance of the re-
sult of the convention of 1884, and his
zealous and powerful support of its nomi-
nees, have strengthened him incalculably
in the public esteem and in the party.
His record was summarized at that time
by the Gaznm partially as follows:—
Mn. Louxsnunr is now in the full vigor
of early manhood, robust and active in
mind and body. He served in the ranks
of the 17th Connecticut Volunteers as a
private soldier. Disdaining the commis-
sions he might have accepted, youth as
he was, he patriotically bore his musket
till serious illness, the result of army ex-
posure, forced upon him a reluctant re-
tirement. * ' " He has been himself
in turn a workingman, and the employer
of large numbers of workingmen. In the
one case he always won the esteem and
confidence ofhis employers, and in the
other the love and gratitude of his men.
He has always been “diligent in business
and fervent in spirit.” Successful as any
one mustbe with his extraordinary ex-
ecutive abilities, no man knows better
than he by large and generous experience.
how much better it is to give than receive.
* r ‘ He is a man most richly en-
dowed with mental resources. " " '
Few college-bredor professional men can,
however, “think on their feet” with more
clearness, rapidity and force, and express
themselves with as easy facility and tone.
ity as he. In clean personal character,
practical ability, true worth and all honor-
able elements of popularity, P. C. Louxs-
ounv is the peer of any governor Connec-
ticut has had for a half century. * * ‘
He is thoroughly alive to the propulsive
thought and moving forces of the world
and age in which he lives. In affairs of
state and nation he is fully “abreast of
the times." In fine, he is in the highest
sense of the word a new.
His nomination would mean many hun-
dreds more than his party vote in this
county. It would redeem Fairfield county
from the degradation of its usual demo-
cratic majority, and render victory in the
state a certainty.

Random Ramblings. ”
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR BMLING 11mm.
The Standard’s Norwalk contributor
mentions the advent of Ullie Akerstrom at
the Opera House this week, and philoa
ophizes so:
If children and young school girls could
be kept from the exciting influences of
these cheap shows, there would not be
so much objection to their coming here,
but some of them are as injurious to the
youn asacarefulreadin of Ouida‘snovels
woul be, and who won d be willing their
children should read such books ?
The esteemed correspondent, with whom
I am sufficiently intimate to know that she
will not resent a friendly dissent, cannot
have especial reference to this company’s
repertoire. To be sure, “the boards" are
flooded with cheap trash drama, pernicious
in its influence, and pity ’tis ’tis true that
some of it occasionally besmirches our
own little Opera House. But surely my
friend would not relegate to oblivion
“Camille” with its touching exemplifies-
tion of the power of love to elevate an
almost inflexible nature from the sordid
level of a professional coquette to the
heighths of a sublime and sacrificing de-
votion. Nor “East Lynne," whose revel-
ation of the pitiablo consequences of unjust
jealously invariably softens the audience
to tears. Nor “Fanchon,” which illue.
trates the development of coarseness into
refinement, charcoal into diamonds. And
so on. They all point a moral whose ten-
dency toward a salutary influence is suf-
ficient to palliate any possible feature
of seeming impropriety that the over
fastidious purists may think they discover.
I . I!
The prevailing public appetite for
“comic opera" seems to have inspired
musical authors to engage in a competi-
tion to determine who can bring out the
silliest production. No matter how sick-
ishly nonsensical the winning piece may
be, there are plenty of authors readyto
produce one still worse, and there
is no reason to doubt that on this
principle somebody will by and by
bring out an “ Operetta" that will
eclipse even Jerome Hopkins’ “Taffy and
Old Munch"—possibly he can do it him-
self. It must be admitted, however, that
story, leaning against the massive brick
pier ofthe hotel, [everyone leans against
something in this country when they don’t
sit down on the door steps], when we
noticed a singular electrical or other dis-
turbance of the air, followed by a deep
rumbling noise like a heavy train of cars
rolling through a tunnel. ' Then came the
powerful oscillation which must have
lasted quite two minutes. The first im-_
pressions the writer got were that he was
standing against a ship's most at sea.
The vibration of the building could not
have been less than two. inches at a dis-
tancc or twenty-feet from the ground-
Our invalid traveling companion was lying
on the bed, and he first thought some one
was trundling a heavy trunk or sewing
machine right over his head and called
to havejthenoise stopped, but: in an in-
stant his bed began to tip and slide and
shake, and he was then on his feet ready
to make his exit from the building, as soon
as his feeble energies would allow, with
other guests by that time rushing affrighted
through the halls. Having experienced
one almost equally severe shock in Cali-
fornia, and several slighter, ones else-
where, we had no doubt from the first as
to the nature of the disturbance. A sec-
ond, but much slighter shock soon fol”-
iowed. Athlrd one was distinctly felt
in many parts of the state, but no one
seems to have beenjécogseious of the third.
one at Greensboro. shes~ were thrown
from the shelves in the kitchen and dining
room, and it was pitiful to see the fright
and terror of the colored servants. The
cashier of the Greensboro National Bank
and his wife had rooms above our apart-
meats, and the pictures on their walls
were violently shaken and thrashed about,
while the ornaments ou their center table
and escritoire were thrown to the floor, so
that the extent of the vibration must have
been still greater on the story above where
the writer stood.~ The court house bell
was rung, bricks were thrown off chim-
neys, plastering was badly cracked and
thrown from many walls and a general
alarm felt throughout the town. A large
auction was going on, a few doors south
of us, when the tremor came, and the
crowd thought the building was falling in
because of overweight of the audience
and rushed for the street doors, the auc-
tioneer, another “Jeems Mitchell,” leaping
from his box several feet forward and
over the heads of the struggling mass try-
ing to escape. No one fortunately was
seriously injured. The streets were filled
with excited men, women and children
and dogs, not taxed. A rumor came to
the train at midnight that, at a colored
church'on the outskirts of the town, the
worshippers were so terrified that in their
frantic efforts to escape from the building
several women had been thrown down,
tread upon and very seriously injured.
Aside from this there seemed to be no
serious injuryat Greensboro. . The natives,
whites and colored, seemed to have seized
upon the idea at first that it was one of
those westerncyclones, they had heard so
much about, that had struck their town,
while many others felt sure the judgment
day had come. The terror of many of
the colored people was truly distressing to
witness. The time of the shock was a
quarter to ten o’clock by Grecnsboro’s
town clock, and its duration was about
two minutes. The time and duration
seems to have varied at different points.
as the terrible eflects of the disaster also
have. Your own sources of information
will supply you full details of its horrors
at Charleston and elsewhere. Here, our
our New York papers are two days old
when we get them, and one might just as
well be in mid-ocean as here so far as get-
ting news is concerned. Ashville has two
daily papers. (of the interior North Caro-
lina sort), a Western Union telegraph sta-
tion, and yet one could not get the slight-
est item of news from the outside world
concerning the earthquake, except by the
slow process of our “reform" mail
service. It is estimated that five thous-
and strangers havc been here this season.
It has long been celebrated as a health
resort, but it has now fast becoming a
fashionable resort for summer pleasure
seekers. The scenery is beautiful beyond
any adequate description. Located on
the crest of the mountain range, where
widening out on all sides hundreds of
other peaks show their distinct and
and rounded apexcs. The old town and
old class of native residents are of the
true southern type, but as one frankly
said to us yesterday, “There have been so
many of you sick Yankees come down
here to get well that they have really
waked our people up, and made quite a
northern settlement of us," This is true,
and it is equally true that the sick Yankees
who drift hither have more life and enter-
.prise than the native population. We are
delightfully located at the sanitorium of
Rev. Mr. Pcase, who will be remembered
as the founder of the Five Points mission
enterprise. Mr. Pcase came here some
sixteen years since broken down by over-
work and pulmonary difficulties. l-lcre,
like thousands of others, he has entirely
recuperated, and is enjoying a serene and
financially successful old age. There is a"
wonderful tonic and healing influence in
this mountain air for lung and throat in-
valids. The altitude is 2,250 feet above-
the sea level, and the air is clear, dry and
crisp, and every respiration seem to in-
vigorate. Its unsurpassed scenery, and
its “peculiar people," not altogether
“zealous of good works," forcibly reminds
one of the truly expressive lines of the
good old missionary hymn:
Cl
sameness
But again to Greensboro. A democratic
mass meeting had been held at the court
house on the afternoon prior to the earth-
quake, and several facetious republicans
suggested that the still continuing “en
thusiasm" of that aflair accounted for the
shock. It gave us the first opportunity
to see the southern Bourbon at his normal
best. There had been very little open and
gross intoxication visible about the streets
prior to Congressman Reed's harrangue.
His speech was a doleful tribute to the in.
telligence of his auditors. A politician of
his presentation of this thing in the Opera either party that should attempt to stand -

assistance of local children reflected credit make such you misstatements of the

children did wonderfully well considering booted from the stage. But his biggest
they had been less than two weeks in
told us of a distiller who was raided,
whose first imploring speech was, “Good
God, isn’t Cleveland elected!" In further
illustration of this phase we copy this
from the Greensboro North State:
“Last week at Statesville,Gov. Armfield
[democrat] defended a party indicted for
violation of the internal revenue laws.
He laid the lash on the democratic revenue
raiders pretty severely. In the course of
his speech to the ju he said, ‘ entlcmcn,
if there is anything in this wor d nieaner
than a republican revenue ofiiccr it is a
democratic raider. These new officials go
out after a still with the same spirit of
vengeance which fills r. young Indian who
goes after his first scalp.‘ " 5
To explain the situation and the change
from bad to worse, Gov. Aimsfield said:
“Gentlemen, it reminds me very much
of the story about the fox and the swal-
low. The fox had been engaged in some
illicit business and got his taillmashed. :Ho
stretched himself out in great agony, and
while in this condition swarms of flies en-
cumbered his mutilated tail, and sucked
themselves fiill of blood. A swallow
came along and asked the fox why he did
not drive the flies away. The fox answer-
liad all of his blood they could hold, and
if he drove them away the ‘bluc-bottlee’
would come along and blow him. The re-
publican flies filled themselves and were
driven away, and now the democratic
‘biuc-bottlee’ have come and are blowing us.”
, The democratic ‘blue-bottles‘ are doing
the work. The mountain counties are be-
ing raided by them from center to circum-
ferenco.”
The crops will be above the average de-
spite the cold, wet summer, though prices
rule low for the poor farmer We give
you a few quOtationsfrom their last week-
ly market report :—

From the above facts it would seem that
the lot of neither the democratic office
seeker, the dishonest whiskey maker or
the whiskey drinking farmer, (for all the
soil tillers seem to sustain life here on
whiskey) “is not a happy one." Yet the
Greensboro Pat/riot is not- “skeercd”
though it treats its unterrificd readers to
the following “whistling in the graveyard"
tune :—
“Thc great National Democratic party
of North Carolina and the United States
of to-da , presents a united and harmoni-
ously so id front hitherto unknown in the
history -of its existence. 'After twenty-
four years of defeat after defeat, it has
successfully sailed over the ruflied billows
of the political waters and has launched
her ship safely-on the shores of victory and
triumphantly its time-tried banner still
floats. _ The prosperity that so largely
abounds all over this broad land of ours,
visible from every hill-top, stands as a
living monument to Democratic suprema-
cy. The Democratic party has returned
to the public domain millions of acres of
the public lands wrung from our people
by insatiate co orations under Republi-
can misrulc. ell and truthfully may it
be saidof the mafia party that thematic
entered upon the building of a new navy;
they have passed every act that has been
asked, having for its purposcthe1bettering
of the condition of the laboring people of
this country.”
Whewl Any man who now dares say
the country isn’t safe, is no friend of the
Greensboro Patriot. Hundreds of the
most respectable fathers of that town,
men who are actually bowed down with
the weight of democratic politics and who
do the heavy sitting down day after day
on the stone store steps all over that some-
what unique town,will read the above and
with watery eyes and parched lips pathet-
ically inquire “whose turn is it to liquor
next i"
Yet there is hope even for Greensboro.
They talk about introducing water. They
have two lines of important railroad and
another building thus making it an impor-
tant railroad center. Business is made
brisk also, (outside the bar rooms) by
many Hebrew sons of Levi, who seem to
do a thriving trade, and with here and
with here and there a live Yankee and a
good many very much alive Republicans
and .Prohibitionists, with old mortality
fumlshing an averageof about two Bour-
bon funerals a day, there is hope for
“Verdenton” of tlic "Fool’s Errand.”
