Wednesday. Nov. 23,1887.
A double apology is due our readers for
the space occupied today in stripping the
feathers from the “dirty bird that fouls its
own nest,” and struts before the public
with all the grotesque vanity and self-im-
portance of a turkey-cock. But we prom-
ise it shall be a double-jackasspower lie,
of extra malignity that can tempt us to
notice the miscreant again.

Betting the Reader’s Pardon.
Disagreeable as it is to us, and 1min
teresting as it may be to the general reader
yet “the dog having returned to 'his
vomit," it becomes in a sense, a public
duty for us to make reply, for this once,
only. All our readers will bearus witness
that for years we have borne the abrrsc and
slanders of this “Ruffian of thc Connecti-
cut Press" without answering back a
word. He has persistently abused and
vilified us, (as he has scores of others)
with all the venom of his envious and
malignant nature. The brutal and cuttin g
ingenuity with which he coucocts his
vicious and abusive slandcrs, are well
known in this community, where he has
so long prided himself upon his power to
make his victims smart under his vigorous
lashings. The satanic talents of a fiend
could invent no more exasperating
methods of tarrntirrg and tormenting those
whom his envy or malice selects for
assault. He has vilified us not only, but
every member of our family, we believe,
as well. Yet during all these long years,
we have borne his abuse in silence, and
never soiled our columns with his dis-
reputable name. We have never sought
to meddle or interfere in any manner with
the business Welfare or career of this speci-
men of depravity. We have as studiously
avoided trade rivalry or competition as we
have all contact with his offensive person.
When accident to his office machinery
has prevented his printing his vile sheet
at. home, we have always accorded him
the customary business corrrtesics of freely
using our presses, even though the edi-
tions we were printing for him, contained
his usual rancorous assaults upon us or
ours. When the president of a railroad
he always vilifies, showed us his letter
cravenly begging a free pass, we urged
that it be sent, and was told thatreflecting
on our advice, it was sent to him. When
a bundle of printed affidavits, alleging his
participation in disgraceful immorality
was sent us, we instantly ordered them
sent to him and they were so sent, without
outside eyes ever seeing thcmwhile in our
possession. When some helpless victim
of his assaults has appealed to us for space
in our paper to resent his wanton insults,
we have always declined, and urged that
the creature must have been born with
some sort of mental obliquity, who thus
could never rest unless in an unprovoked
quarrel and viciously assaulting some one.
We had tried to persuade ourself during
all these years of his wanton abuse, borne
in silence by us, that his vilifications were
equivalent to commendation from decent
men. We had vainly hoped that he would
sometime come to the view that the world
was wide enough for him to thrive on his
own drrnghill, and thus be led to cease his
dastardly assaults on his betters. But it
seems that all our kindness and forbear-
ance has but stimulated his rage, for like
the swine that he is, he “turns again to
rend" us. Our generous treatment of
him seems only to have intensified his
colossal self-conceit and egregious egotism,
so that, as we are told, he has interpreted
our failure to “strike back" as an evidence
of our terror of him. Growin more auda-
cious with this impunity, his latest attempt
is, by the most atrocious falsifications, to
array the Masonic order against us, and
thus to bring serious injury to our busi-
ness standing among those whose good
opinion we have always striven to deserve.
. This insolence and malevolence is unbear-
able, and, for the first time, we last week
made deserved answer to the villain. If
110w the mirror we are about to hold 11p
before his evil eyes, that he “may see
himself as others see him,” is not flattering
to his arrogant and unbounded self-esteem,
he has only his own malignant nature to
thank for this public exhibition of the un-
savory likeness. With that alert and vi-
cious cunning, of which lie is so an accom-
plished a master. he would make 115 ap-
pear as disreputable a trickster as himself
in the conduct of ourbusiness Possibly
this should not occasion surprise. When
one looks at his low, glowering brow, it
would seem that the Almighty had
emblazoned “Baum” thereon, in letters of
ineflaceable brass. We claim no credit
for having tried through our long and busy
newspaper career, to guard our reputation
with jealous care. Nor have we any
apology to make for having craved the
good opinion of honest men. But if after
fifty years of unccasing care and toil in
the service of the GAZETTE, strivrrrg ever
and always to do what we could to pro-
mote the growth and fair fame of our i11-
comparably beautiful town and the pros-
perity and happiness Of its citizens, we
are to be esteemed a “liar" and “swindlcr’
on the statement Of a creature notoriously
devoid the commonest decencies of life,
then indeed is it time for us to retire from
public observation.
Brit, it cannot be, that in the minds of
honorable men, the meanest creature that
walks the earth could be damaged by the
slandcrs of such a vile and. Janus-faced
libeler. The best people of Norwalk
have ever stood by us in our severest
trials. In financial disaster, they have
promptly proffered all necdful aid. In times
of deeper distress, when the hearts of true
men melt and fuse together, we have had
in lavish measure the sustaining power of
their beneficent confidence and esteem.
In justice, however, to ourselves and
a host of others, let us rapidly review
some of the disreputable incidents in the
career of this journalistic adventurer, who
while not even a resident Of Norwalk,
comes over here from Weslport to “boss"
all our public afiairs, to brow-beat or lam-
poou our officials, and to seandalize our'
people whenever they run counter to his
wishes. The town of his residence has
ample experience of his quality. His
abusive andlong-continued fusiladcs upon
Rev. A. N. Lewis, his persistent detraction
of 1']. H Beldeu, Esq., and other reputable
residents of Westport, are not forgotten.
His bitter onslaughts on the New Haven
Railroad because of his expulsion from
their cars, his outrageous abuse of Judge
Minor because of his judicial Connection
with the suit that followed, know all the
people. The judge threatened to punish
him by prosecution, but finding it impos-
sible to recover any judgement for damages
that might be accorded him, abandoned
the purpose. Then followed his virulent
abuse of Hon. Wm. D. Bishop, H011. John
M. Hall and other distinguished citizens
of the State. In our own town his spite-
ful attacks upon Selectman Isaac Selleck
Were kept up till a threat of personal
cliustisement ended the cringing coward‘s
assaults. Then his persistent and relent-
less attacks upon our present honored U.
S. Treasurer, Jas. W. Hyatt, should be re-
called. Hyatt, by an apt illustration of
worldly tact and wisdom,called off the
cur snapping at his heels by throwing him
llittle bones of patronage. Then we see
llrim as abjectly obscquious in his devotion
:to Mr. Hyatt us he was abusive before.
.Asever “bending the pendent hinges of
(the knee that thrift may follow fawning."
'FI'hen follows his scandalous assaults upon
.a public school teacher at Winnipauk.
”Then the far more cowardly and brutal
scourgings of a dcfenceless orphan girl, a
.teacher in the Over River School, when:
he drove from the town and, to the verge of
insanity, by his merciless laslrings. He
would borrow money of the late Mr. S. E.
Olmstead and repay him by abuse and
ridicule of Dr. Coolidge, a member of his
family. Professing friendship for Judge
Andrew Scllcck, he would treacherously
stab him as viciously as he did so many
Others, trying alternately to make him
ridiculous and odious in the community.
Anti so we might go on ad nauseam.
But what is the use. As all know, neither
age nor sex 1101' condition have been secure
from his assailing. Whether in his vile
assaults upon innocent and defenceless
individuals, or his leaden attempts to be
funny (as in the “san11-bauk"~savings-
bank scare). he everywhere has shown
himself to be utterly devoid of moral
sense, and as unfit to have a newspaper
as a maniac a stilletto. The injury this
creature has done the fair fame of our
town, and the extent of the odiunr he has
brought down upon Norwalk, cannot be
exaggerated. Said Gov. Minor in an in-
dignant outburst, "I would no more let a
friend of mine buy property uralrome in
N orwalk than I would in the lowest slums
of New York, for there mustbc something
wrong in any community where such a
miscreaut is tolerated and such a vile sheet
can find support.” The good judge, one
of the kindliest-hcartcd of men, did not
pause to realize that in every community
such creatures find lodgmeut and secure
a certain sort of short-lived following.
Some men tolerate him who fear malicious
exposure of their faults ; some who see a
pole-cat in their path prefer to “go around
1t" to being soiled in an attempt to kick it
from their way ; others of timid and
shrinking natures prefer to blanllly smile
on the reckless assassin of character, than
to expose themselves and families to
a5sault. Others with an “itch for office”
fawn about him and tickle his vanity, ill
the hope that though he may not be pos-
sessed of character or influence enough to
command or change a vote, he can help
to “keep one before the people.” Another
class of the “baser sort” gravitate towards
such a specimen of depravity as naturally
as flies to tainted meat. Yet one and all
down deep in their heart of hearts, loath
and despise him.
Just now. with impudencc colossal, he
essays to coerce Gov. Lounsbury info call-
ing an extra sesson of the Legislature,
while with equal arrogance arid “check”
he assumes to control and manage the
Masonic organization of St. John’s Lodge.
As to the Governor, he has succeeded in
exposing him to undeserved embarrass-
ments and more than all else, jeopardized
the interest the people feel in an extra
session, because of his conceited and im-
pertinent ofliciousness. Moreover, he has
exposed the Governor to such unjust and
mortifying jibes as the following:
[From an Editorial in the N. Y. Evening Paw]
“* * * But the cditorofalittle weekly
paper, who openly boasts of his power
over the Governor, a few weeks ago started
an agitation for the calling of a special
session of the Legislature, to repeal the
existing law; and be induced the Go-
vernor to appoint a bearing upon the sub-
ject, and then a second hearing, and now
to consent to a third.”
[From Hartford Correspondent of the N. Y.
Evening 181121.]
“Now there is no sentimentanywherc
in the State in favor of an extra session
except in Fairfield county, and there it
has been drummed 11p by Barney Maples.
who is a man of great energy, whatever
his discretion and charms of personal
habit may be.”
’1‘ t * ’1' I! At ’1‘
“His course in inviting representatives
of the several towns to meet him at the
State House last Monday and talk over
the expediency of calling an extra session
of the Legislature has occasioned general
surprise.
Instead of the expected hundreds, less
than 30 were present. This little handful
looked very lonsome as they bunched them—
selves in the open space in front of the
clerk’s desk in Representatives’ hall, where
the Governor presided, assisted by Editor
Maples, Of the Norwalk Hour. who acted
as master of ceremonies and chief spokes-
man. Maples expressed great indignation
at the failure of the railroad commissioners
to put in an appearance, and when he
suggested that another conference should
be held. Lounsbury, who generally sneezcs
whenever the editor of the Hour takes
snuff, ordered an adjournment."
The usual result of this rufiian’s “boss-
ing" was seen in the defeat of Hon. 1“. W.
Bruggerhof in his race for Congress.—
Without knowing the creature, he placed
him in charge of his canvass and entrusted
him with its funds. The leech lost him
his election in a district where the dcmc-
crats can elect their candidates at will.
The Masonic Lodge he seeks to manage
to his own sweet will, differs greatly from
him in that. its other members are gentle-
men. They are men who too highly revere
the sacred and sublime rights of the order
to permit him to turn its rooms into corr-
vivial smoking and midnrglrt card-playing.
That he will cause its division or ruin
soon or late if allowed to “run" it as he
now assumes to do, needs no prophet to
predict. Nothing seems so fatally disas-
trous to any person or cause as his treach-
erous friendship. It has been remarked
that with all his unpardonable assaults
upon Rector Lewis, of Westport, he never
dealt him so damaging a blow as he gave
the sainted Williams, when he forced him-
self iuto social familiarity with the sick
clergyman on a voyage across the Atlantic.
The merited denunciations of Gov. Minor
from the platform of the Republican State
Convention at New Haven is in point. He
charged that coming to the convention as
a self-appointed delegate from the Repub-
licans of ll'cstport, it was “with treachery
in his heart and the deliberate purpose C-f
betraying our candidates and doing all he
could to defeat the ticket he with pre-
sumptiorrs impertinencc sought to help
put in nomination.” Swelling with indig-
nation at his notorious party treachery,
the Governor continued : “he was never
known to join a party or espouse a cause
except that he might the more easily be-
tray it.”
At one time 11c is seen shambling about
our Legislature with elephantine pondero-
sity, and fairly staggering under the weight
of his own egotistical self-importance.
At another, boasting Of the fabulous sums
he is receiving as a railroad lobbyist, and
then gre‘edily pocketing the two hundred
dollars our legislators are weak or wicked
enough to vote from the State Treasury as
it“sop“ to the reporters, supposably as a
reward for their having said agreeable
things about the “Legislative Mutual Ad-
miration Society." Brit at all times and
in all places, he is deemed the same con-
summate ass and general nuisance, with-
out wit or discernment enough to see that
he is the laughing stock and “butt” Of
those who find amusement in his stilted
airs and egregious self-conceit.
When the railroad commissioners were
examining the lay-out of the “Olrnstead
parallel” they openly charged that he was
the first to plant his obese body on the
rear and best seat of their back, thus forc-
ing two of the board to ride backwards.
This ill-mannered imperfincncc they said
could have been borne with more patience
had it not been for the soiled linen he in-
variably wore, and the offensive odor
emanating from his person. At another
time he crowc’s himself, with the rudeness
of :1 beer, into the family circle of Presi-
dent Wntrous, waited to dine with them
with unwelcome familiarity, and in the
sublimity of his ignorance, showed his
elation at the social eminence be had thus
gained, by coming away and bragging
about the courtesy, which, unrestrained,
would have shown him out the door.
This social exploit he climaxed, (when
offered asegar from his box by the too
indulgent Watrons), by filling his pockets
with the President’s costly and fragrant
Havanns. A caustic lashing of the Pre-
sident‘s road followed, and the next
chapter was a crown letter begging a f rec
pass from the same oficwl over the road
he has so incessantly denounced.
Again he is been pushing his repulsive
person into the hospitable mansion of
Governor Lounsbury at Ridgcfield. He
shoves his feet and legs, hereditarily un-'
NORWALK GAZETTE,

and sleeps and then breakfasts, before
their uninvited guest departs. Tlienco
coming to Norwalk be falsely boasts with
thc'cgotistic silliness of a child, that he
had been sent for by Gov. Lounsbury to
discuss great affairs of slate.
Possibly a man who could not find :1
welcome entrance to :1 half—dozen houses
in all Norwalk, might be forgiven for this
silly elation. But it matters not, whether
he, with swinish gluttony, is sweeping the
hotel tables of poor Banks Morelrousc
and omitting to pay; or voraciously dc-
vourrng the few little fishes the Neptune
boys had toiled all day to catch; or forc-
ing his way, uninvited. with his party of

vate car and without invite, sitting down
with his retinueto the private spread and

or writing letters to the New York Times
and Sun in laudation of himself as the
one great leader of the extra session pro-
ject; or pushing himself ahead with his
usual cffrontery, as the chief manager,
generalissimo and master of ceremonies
for the installation services to come off at
the armory 011 Tuesday next—he must ar-
range the programme, fix the speakers,
and in fine, always “be Captain. else no
one can train ;”——it matters not when or
where, it is always the same utter disre—
gard of all propriety and decency, and
ever and always a swinish disregard of
the feelings of others. And this is the
sort of creature, the hissing viper, with
ink for prison and types for a bludgeon,
who essays to drive by such brute force
our Governor. our Legislature, our Rail-
roads, our Town, our Borough, our Soci—
"eties, and the people of. Norwalk, to ab-
jectly do his bidding, or failing to comply,
to be assaulted and besmeared by his ma!
levolent maledictions.
Is it not high time for decent, self rc-
spccting men to face and defy the presump-
tion and assumption of such :1 characterless
creature? It is impossible for honorable
manhood to long endure the degrading
and intolerable dictation of such treacher-
ous and self asserted leadership. If it
were not so unbearably disgusting it
would be irresistibly grotesque to see the
airs of self importance put on by this pub-
lic nuisance, as if, in his own conceit, he
believcd himself to be :1 “little tin god 011
wheels.”
We have endeavored to give a faithful
portrait of the vilc slandercr who for ten
years, more or less, has so atrociously
assailed us. We have “set down naught
in malice.” We should deSpise ourself
did we cherish any feeling deeper than
pity, for any human being with a nature
so gnarled, soured and miserable. If our
picture is not pleasing to him ire has him-
self onlyto thank for its presentation to
his own and the public view. The un-
provoked “wrath he has nursed and kept
warm” so many years and poured out up-
on 11s and ours, with such constant and un-
stintcd bitterness, could not alone have
forced us to break our long enduring si-
lence. But when at last, by the most au-
dacious slander, he revealed his purpose
to array against us the largest. local or-
ganization Of men whose good feeling we
cannot too highly prize, to tllc end that
serious injury might come to the business
we have devoted a whole life-time to es-
tablish, self respect and duty demanded
that we should break silence and reply to
the assassin of character in a measure
somewhat commensurate with his atro-
cious lie. If he thinks the portrait incor-
rcct or overdrawn he can invite us into
court and let us prove by unimpeachablc
witnesses, 110w much blacker our truthful
picture can be made than we have here
painted it.
And now we are done. Of course he
will go on slander-ing us “with malice
aforclhought and malice prcpcnsc." But
we prorrrisc that it shall be a slander
affecting others more than ourself and of
extra damaging malignity that shall tempt
us to waste space in these columns in any
“talk back” to him again. Hereafter, as
in the long past, we, for ourself, propose
to endure his slander-s, his insulting and
cxaspcratilrg taunts, without a word of
reply or rebuke. We are willing to call
the account square to date if he is, but let
us beseech him to spare us his praise.
Let him live and thrive in the congenial
cess-pool of his choice, but let him remem-
ber that there is a limit to the public pa-
tiencc and forbearance. _ If he has any
sense at all he will call a halt in his mad
career of universal and Ishmaelitislr as-
sault and battery. 0111' sincerest wish is
that for his own sake he might at once
enter upon this reform, and then, in the
name of all the gods, take a bath.
We 110w forever leave the nauseating
subject with the calm and kindly philoso-
phy of Uncle Toby to the fly: “Go, go,
poor devil! I will not harm thee; this
world is wide enough for me and thee.”

Increase in Water Rents the past year.
New permits issued since last report.... . . .
Extension of water pipe the past year has been
as follows :—In Wilton avenue, 1n the borough;
Osborne avenue. Cottage avenue and on Share
road, at East Norwalk, at a cost of :1 3142.26.
We beg to call attention to the fact that our
report herewith submitted shows the Water De-
partment to be nearly ezt sustaining for the past
year, and for the first time since its organization
we are able to rrrcet our expenses and the annual
lnterest on our water bonds without requisition on
the Court of Burgesses for deficiency. Our Ex-
pense Account the past year is the lowest we have
been able to report, to wit, $1,407.95. The repairs
on the water pipe to September 30, 1887. being
$835.26. against $902.41 as per report of 1856.
We feel assured in saying that the Water De-
partment of the borough is in a steady improve—
ment as to revenue from the use of water, and we
hope, in a short time, to be able to report a sur-
plus over interest on the water bonds and ex-
penses. which can be applied to the assistance of
the sinking fund of our borough, established for
the par-pose of an ultimate refunding of the water
bonds of the borough.
