Hon. Phineas C. Lounsbury.
The career of the Hos. Patna-as C.
Lomvssrmr, the republican candidate for
the high office of Governor of Connecti-
cut, is a significant commentary on the
broad scope of possibilities that is ever
open to the youth in all stations, from
' the highest to the humblest, in this great
land of ours. It illustrates with power
and eloquence the working of that law of
retribution that recognizes true worth,
and crowns true merit with the laurel
wreath of honorand esteem. It is a lesson
full of inspirations, exemplifying as it
does, the progress of. sterling worth,
actuated by noble purposes and high
aSpirations, mounting steadily up the
ladder of fortune, from plebeian obscurity
to the very central point of prominence.
Pursue C. Lounssrmr is a self-made
man, whose every step in ,the progress of
his advancement to business success,
worldly prosperity, political prominence
and social popularity, is marked by the
impress of those attributes of honor and
uprightncss that render him worthy of
them all. His record, which the GAZETTE
has summarized heretofore, is one that
will always bear rehearsing. He wasborn
in Ridgefield 46 years ago, the son of a
humble farmer, and lived and worked on
his father’s farm until he was 14 years old,
when he went to New York to seek his
fortune. He succeeded in securing em-
ployment in a shoe store, beginning at the
very bottom of the ladder. His diligence,
honesty and talents, however, soon started
him up the ladder of promotion, and he
passed with credit through the different
grades of preforment. to the position of
confidential clerk. 0n attaining his
majority he returned to his native state
and embarked In the shoe manufacturing
business in New Haven, in partnership
with his brother, subsequently removing
to South Norwalk where the business was
carried on more extensively, Mr. Locus-
nuar traveling about the country as
“drummer,” in which capacity he
achieved his usual success by his
thoroughness and honorable dealing. He
retired from active connection with the
concern a few years ago, but still retains
his pecuniary interest therein. His loy-
alty and patriotism have a sufficient
voucher in his record as a member of the
gallant Seventeenth Regiment, in which,
declining a profi’ered commission, he
served in the ranks until physical disability
compelled his acceptance of a discharge.
He was elected to represent his native
town in the legislature of 1874, where he
wieldeda potent influence on the right
side of every important measure. The
same year he was married to the daughter
of Neshia Wright, president of the
American Bank Note Company, of New
York, and a wealthy merchant, now
deceased. Mn. Lounswnr is at present
president of the Merchants . Exchange
Bank in New York, a position which was
urgently pressed upon him by the direct-
ors, who_were not slow to recognize his
fitness for the trust.
’ On all matters of public policy, Mr.
Lounsnunr is well informed, and has pro-
nounced and well defined opinions. He
stands squarely and unequivocally upon
the broad platform adopted by the con-
vention, and the people of the common-
wealth may rest confidentin the assurance
that his administration of the affairs of our
state government will be characterized by
wise statesmanship, unimpeachable integ-
rity and the highest conception of the ob-
ligations of a public trust.

Falrfleld County Crime.
The annual report of the county com-
missioners shows that during the year
ending June 30, the number of prisoners
confined in the county jails was 1,444.
Of these 1311 were males, and 183 fe-
males. Following are some of the prin-
cipal causes of arrest with number appre-
hended: Assault, 138; drunkenness, 543;
tramps, 112; breach of peace, 166; larceny,
115; burglary, 58. They also show in their
report the amount of license money col-
lected and paid over to the several towns
during the license year, which begins
Nov. 1 and ends June 80. The total
amount collected was $63,225, of which
Bridgeport received $26,273.20, Norwalk,
$7,101.25, Stamford $8,540.45, Danbury
$8,817 .45, Newtown $1,594.10, Greenwich

Negative Reform. ,
Relatives in Danbury posted a letter at
the post office in that town on Thursday
noon addressed to a. gentleman in Nor-
walk, informing him of the death of his
brother-in-law, and requesting} him to at-
tend the funeral on Friday. The gentle-
man addressed did not get the letter from
the N orwalk post oflce until Friday even-
ing, after the funeral had taken place.
And he naturally thinks that if takes 30
hours for a letter to travel 20 miles in
these halcyon days of mail service, civil
service and other service “reform," it is
high time to reform the “reform” by
going back to “rascally misrule," or else
expedite the mail delivery by adopting ox
team transit.

xaine Speaks.
The election in Maine yesterday gave a
republican victory even larger than was
hoped for in this “ad year,” the result of
Blaine's energetic work in the canvass.
Joseph B. Bodwell is elected governor by
a plurality of not far from 13,000; the
republican candidates for congress are all
elected; the legislature, which is to elect
a United States senator, is overwhelmingly
republican. The prohibition vote, which
promised such stupendous results, was
less than 4,000. ,

Tomorrow the stockholders of both the
Housatonic and Danbury &. Norwalk rail-
roads will hold meetings to ratify the
action of their respective directors in the
matter of leasing the Danbury & Norwalk
to the Housatonic. There is no doubt
that the lease will be ratified, to take effect
at the close of the Danbury corporation's
fiscal year, Oct. Isl.
The Ticket.
The republican state convention at Hart- ,
ford last Thursday justified the Gmm’s
prediction of last week, and nominated
the HON. P. C. Lounsnnnr, of Ridgcfléld.
on the first ballot, the nomination being
made unanimous with great enthusiasm.
Senator O. H. Platt was elected to pre-
side over the deliberations of the ‘conven;
tion, and on taking the chair made a
ringing speech, pregnant with cogent
truths and tributes to the aims and
achievements of the republican party, and
scathing denunciations of the policy of the
democracy, and the Cleveland administra-
tion was referred to as “giving promise of
a most dismal failure,” distinguished by
incapacity above all other administrations.
The president was. justly criticised'for his
unprecedented record as a. veto writer,
his "heartless sneers at the . suffering
soldier, and his audacious and unjust
criticism of congress." The senator paid
his respects to Secretary Bayard, whose
vacillating policy in‘the matter of thc
Canadian seizures of"American fishing
vessels, where prompt and summary ac-_
tion was imperatively demanded and whose
over-zealous arrogance toward Mexico in
the Cutting case, which was almost benfeath
the notice of any public department, have
brought upon him derision and loss of
confidence. The panelectric .' scandal
which convicted Secretary Garland, in the
public mind, of prostituting his public
position for private gain; Secretary Whit-
ney’s shameful treatment and ruinaticn of
John Roach; Postmaster-General Vilas’
un-Amsrican course in the forcignmail
steamship matter, were reviewed in their
proper light and with telling effect, as
were also the (i'em’ocracy’s false position
on the tariff question, and the southern
intimidations. The speech was a long
one, and was received with close attention
and enthusiastic applause. ’ ,
The following list of officers was read
by S. 0. Prentice, acting as , chairman. of?
the committee on permanent organization:

A motion being made to proceed to an
informal ballot for a candidate for gov-
ernor, Hon. Samuel Fessenden, of Stam-
ford, mounted the platform and nominated
HON. P. C. Louxssunv in the following
speech:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven-
tion—I am instructed by the delegates from
Fairfield County to presont the name of a dis-
tinguished citizen of that county who will lead
the republican party to victory ncxt- November.
Every county in this state has time and time
again been honored by republicans in conven-
Turrel of New
Fairfield caunty assisted the republican party
in its struggle for victor . It is more than
twenty years since Fairlie d count has been
honored by havin a glubel-natcria candidate
selected from wi or limits. Ever since
that county have year after year, t rough the
free soil and many ti hts for honest currenca
and the protection 0 American labor, rolle
up their vote in the anticipation that at last
their fidelity would be rewarded. They have
no complaints to make, and if the convention
sees fit to nominate another—but not a. better
—-leader they will give their usual majority for
him. There is no man in the state tc-day
whose record is lpurer or nobler, or who is s
more high-min ed gentleman. He is a man
of fearless integrity and honorable fame, who
will honor the chair filled by] so many illustri-
ous men of the commonwealt . He appeals to all
these business men to-day who believe in the
restoration of the harmony that ought always
to exist between employer and workingman.
He is in .the broadest sense a workingman
himself. The workin men. know he is their
friend ; that he has a ways been in favor of
measures for their welfare. He will appeal b
his high standing in church. and society to a 1
men who believe in wise and efficient adminis-
tration of affairs. No man lives to-day who
can honestly say he ever used a dollar except
for honest or noble purposes. He has not an-
nounced his generosity from the housetOps,
but no worthy man ever appealed to him in
vain. A farmer’s lad he was. to be, sure, and a
Connecticut farmer’s lad, too, but one thor-
oughly fitted for any position in life. A soldier,
too, he was, He went to the war young, with
no cfiicers straps upon his shoulders, but with
the utmost atriotlsm: In the name of his
companions n arms, too, I present to the con-
vention for governor the name of Phineas C.
Lounsbury of Ilidgeficld. Everybody wants
him. Old Fairfleld is a unit for him. When
another received the nomination two years a 0
there was no tent big enough for him to an R
in, and if nominated be will swee the state by
an overwhelming majority. l wi detain you
no longer. gentlemen, for I see you are ready
to nominate him.
A storm of applause lasting fully five
minutes greeted the above remarks, and
when it subsided Mr. Samuel Park, of
.New London, presented the name of Hon.
John A. Tibbitts,and William E. Simonds
nominated lion. Morgan G Bulkeley, of
Hartford. '

The committee on resolutions reported,
through its chairman, F. B. Cooley, the
following platform: I.
To defend the honor of mankind and the
unity of the nation against those who declared
that to be the best form of societ in which the
capitalist owned the laborer, e republican
party sprang into existence. It trampled un-
der toot all the rejudices of race, color, caste
and wealth, abo 'shed slavery, secured to all
men the fruits of their labor and their equal
rights. It reconstructed the very foundations
of the constitution to establish perfect justice.
It restored and glorified the Union. It gave 'to
us our first truly, national currency and ained
us the highest national credit in the wor d. It
ave a homestead to every settler on the pub-
ic lands. It endeavors to subdivide'thepub-
lic lands among actual settlers, and to encour-
age harmonious relations between labor and
capital. It has tr_eated the soldiers and sailors.
of the Union with a justice and generosity
never before heard of. It has prove itself to
the world the champion and protector of the
common people, a truly democratic party of
labor liber , law, justice and unity. It care
rice the nob est traditions'_of the past and is
alive with the hiphest instincts of the future.
Its principles wi l solve every _ roblem. No
new organization can take a peer 'on nearer to
the db 'es .of the ago. And the republican
party in convention «assembled hereby dc-
clares:
1. ,We favor a tarifi' upon the imported pro-
ducts of low-priced foreign labor, fairly and
justly distributed so as to protect the interests-
oi American wageworkers without adding to
their burdens, and we pomt _to the history of
republican legislation as exhibiting such when
revisions of the tariff laws from time to time as
have secured these valuable results for the
country and people. The party whose quick
sense of its duty to the people is responsible
for those achievements can be depended upon
to make such revisions of those awe as shall ~
be found to be wise and advantageous to the
real interests of American industry. We cou-
demn the democratic party for its persistent
efforts to overthrow the protective system.
efforts which have paralyzed the industries of ,
he country, and which would have succeeded ‘ ‘
except for the solid vote of the republican
congressmen. _

5. In the present condition of our coast for-

fonseless. It is incapable of conducting inter-

duty. We commend the republican senate for

of our sagacious apportionment of national and

liberal ideas In Great Britain, and the certainty
of a speed gratification of the just aspirations
of the Iris people for ‘such measures of self-
government as shall forever end their humili-
ation and oppression. ' ‘ -

can party secured sound national money to the

should constantly strive by legislation and by
international negotiation, to secure to all the
circulating medium, coin and fispcr alike, an
equal interchangeable value. he sur lus in
the treasury should be steadily applic 1.0 the
reduction of the national debt. ,
9. The sacredness of the ballot is the safe-
guard of the re nblic and we renew ourdeclar-
ations against raud, violence and intimidation
wherever and however practiced, whereby
the right of any citizen, white or black in any
part of the, country. to cast one bal 0t and
ave that ballot fairly counted and returned is
denied, abridged or imperrillcd.
10. We believe the territory .of Dakota by
past precedents and by the letter and spirit of
the constitution is manifestly entitled to a
place among tho'sisterhood of states, and ,we
condemn the democracy in congress for refus-
ing its admission to the Union. .
11. We commend the wise, economical and
judicious administration of ~our state afiairs
during the past two years under the present
- state administration with the Hon. Henry B.
Harrison at its head, who has added another
illustrious name to the long list of Connecticut
governors. We believe that the Hon. Phineas
C. Lounsbury and thank-her candidates nom-
inated to-day.will,'il'elected, be e ually faith-
ful to the interests of the state, and that their
conduct of public aflairs will deserve the same
commendation. W0 confidently commend the
ticket to the people of Connecticut for their
cordial support.

Stepping Stones.
.EDITORS Gszsrrn:—In carefully exam-
ining Todd's. History of Redding, Conn.,
I found no mention of the history of the
Methodist Protestant church in George-
town earlier than 1839, and for good, rea-
son, as there is where its written history
begins. The church was not fermally
o’rganized until that time, though it had
an existence under different names very
much earlier. In 1820 Rev. William M.
Stillwell with other ministers, for reasons
which need not be discussed inthis article,
acceded from the New York conference of
the M. E church. Mr. Stillwcll gathered
around him a number of influential men
and women, and organized a religious
body who adopted the name of the Metho-
dist‘society of New York. Mr. Stillwell
in his zeal to forward the objects of the
new society visited many outlying towns,
and organized classes preserving the ar-
ticles of faith of the M. E. church. As
early as 1821 Mr. Stillwell, 'in company
with Michael D. Sliggins, a layman,
visited Wilton and Redding and organized
a class. I give this date as I have tickets-
cf admission lo a love feast, which ‘was
held in the late J 001 Godfrey’s barn, then
‘ owned by Aaron Jelliif. These tickets
were as follows:
_ “Please admit Br.JoShua Main member
of the Methodist society, of New York,
August —~, 1821. ' Signed,
WILLIAM M. STILLWB‘LL."
The following are the names of some of
the persons who formed the class! .Mr..
and Mrs. Abram Hurlbutt,‘ Mr. and Mrs.
Smith Fitch, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Jellifi,
Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Main, (my father and
mother), Mrs. Abagail Gilbert, all of
Wilton; Mr. and Mrs." Nathan Gilbert,
Mrs. Orpah Godfrey, Rev. Stephen Tread-
well and Isaac Godfrey, all of Weston;
Mr. and Mrs.Isaac Osborn, David Nichols,
Ebenezer Still, Banks Sherwood, Harriet ,
Morgan and Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin ,Gil-
bert, all of Redding , 5 K ‘: ., '_'
This class or society continued to in-
crease in numbers so that in the minutes
of the conference of 1824 the membership
was reported at more than thirty. The
society was still llnder the supervision of
the parent society in New York, as this-
, ticket of admission to a love feast held in
January 1885, shows: - . ., '
"‘Joshua‘Main is a. member of the Meth-
odist society, of New York. Dated Wil-
ten, and signed by Aaron G. Brewer,
‘Minister.’ "
Classes were formed over a large por-
ition of the country, and great-dissatisfac— -
tion began to manifest itself in regard to
their connection with the parent society.
