It once the United States finds itself on the

Now that the campaign is drawing to a
close and the issues, state and national,
have been exhaustively and intelligently
discussed, it behooves the voters of Cori-
necticut to turn their attention to the
character of the men who seek their suff-
rages as candidates for governor. In
viewing our republican standard bearer,
the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkelcy,_‘,of Hart-
ford, his character, his record, his ability,
his magnetism arid his popularity, we are
inspired ,with the uuswerving convic—
tion'that the banner of victory is in his
hands. His popularity at home is abuud- .
aully attested by the fact that he‘ has
repeatedly been elected mayor, despite
the fact that the city is largely democratic,
and his popularity abroad is unmistakably
shown in the unanimity of his nomination
in the state convention.
, He is thoroughly faliiiliar with the his-
tory and traditions of the state, and is
fully cognizant of its requirements and
advantages, its commercial, industrial,
agricultural and political status, and is
abundantly capable of dealing wisely and
justly with all matters affecting thc‘diver-
sificd interests of the commonwealth.
In his hands the affairs of state will be
wrscly administered and sacredly guarded.
III: is firm and steadfast in his convictions
of right and duty, and his well-known in—
dependence and broad, comprehensive
method of grasping matters of profound
importance to the general welfare, stamp
him as a statesman whom no personal
considerations can sway from the:course
which duty points out to him; whom no
political manipulators can “trundle."
He has an enviable war record, having
served valiantly iii the Thirlccnlh New
York regiment of volunteers, and partici-
pated in the McClellan Peninsular cam-
paign undchcucral Mansfield, at Suffolk,
Va, and as a veteran his sympathies
naturally go out to his old comrades in
arms, whose welfare he will zealously
guard. Ile has had a wide experience in
legislative matters. arid was for eight
years mayor of Hartford in which capa-
cilyhc inaugurated reforms and carried
out improvements of lasting benefits 3
the city. All able and cxpcricriccd finan-
cier he was the principal mover in the
establishment of the United States bank
in llartford, ofwliicli he was the first
president. I-lis succcss as president of
the great ZEtua Life Insurance Co. is
well-known, and under his wise and
efficient administration of the affairs of
this sterling institution, its success has
been unprecedented.
Of Mr. Bulkclcy’s geniulity and popu-
larity, Major R. P. Corwin, of Brooklyn,
III a recent speech in East lladdam, said:
erilc mayor he was liberal and fair to
all classes. The poor of the city on runny
occasions were relieved from distress and
greatly beiicfilted by his generosity and
charity. His salary as mayor, $1,500 per
.ixnnum, was annually spent by him in
charity, and relieving those in needy cir—
cumstances. Besides being charitable he
took a commendable pride in entertaining
visitors to the city, and making them feel
perfectly at home. Invariably the strung-
cl's left the city with deserving words of
praise for the mayor and his unbounded
hospitality.

The Difl'erence.
The Mills Bill‘ is formulated on the theo-
ry flint a diminution of rcveuucs can only
be secured by a reduction or repeal of
protective duties, and llrat tariff revision
means simply that indiscriminate cutting
down of rules which encourages importa—
tious, benefits foreign inaiiufzictnrcrs, and
' produces free trmte. ‘
The Senate bill proposes to reduce l'evc-
iiucs, and at the samc time to preserve the
American system, It is based upon the
idea that tariff revrsron implies an equita-
ble rcadjuslmcnt of duties in the interest
and forlhc benefit of the people of the
United Stulcs, and iii the distribution of
rates its framers have not hesitated to
erect or maintain defensive barriers which
would carry confidence and comfort into
American homes.

A SYNOPSIS (‘1‘ WHAT II II. BELDEN, OF
WES'iroa'r, WOULD HAVE SAID TO THE
Pnouinr'rioxis'rs, srr’r. 30, IN scum
NORWALK, IIAD iii: NO‘I‘ BEEN CHOKED
OFF.
Nothing of a local nature during this
campaign has excited more interest than the
account printed in this paper October 3d, of
what occurred on the Sunday previous in
the hall of the W. C. T. U., Dibblc’s block,
South Norwalk. Mr. II. ' fl, lcldcn, of
Westport, a temperance mail and Republican
had been invited to speak. Ile had proceed-
ed with nine of his forty pages of manu—
script, uttering sentiments such as he sup.
posed searchei-s for actual truth, even though
they were prohibitiouists, would gladly Iis~
ten to, firing well directed red hot shot into
the ranks of his hearers when, just in time
to prevent a rout. he was suppressed, choked
off, invited to desist, take a seat in the audi-
ence, or leave the hall. IIe accepted the
latter. Since that incident a universal dc-
sire has arisen to know what the undelivered
portion of his manuscript consisted of. To
gratify that desire Mr. Belden has reluctantly
consented to have the same published.
The speaker had, when silenced, just fin-
ished saying. “a member of this association
told me he expected to read a prohibition
message from a prohibition president on the
4th of next March.” But for the interrup-
tion he would have continued ’thus: This
was silly talk for a man of three score and
ten years to make, for in every state election
thus far, the prohibition vote has fallen off
15 to 20 per cent., and not one man, thus
far, running on state tickets Iias been elected.
There is one niau running in Ohio, just con-
verted to prohibition who may stand a
‘cliaucc of election, and would be elected
sure could the voters in his district learn
how his remarkable conversion was brought
about. I will read a clipping from the
Warren (0.) Chronicle and reprinted in the
New York Tribune, telling about it: “A
few days ago they (the third party cam—
paigners) held forth in Brookfield, arid one
of the speakers was Prof. W. H. Dana, of
Warren, Prohibition nominee for Congress
in the XIXtIr district. This gentleman re~
lated some of his personal experiences, rich,
rare and racy. One was a statement of
how he became a prohibitionist, asserting
that it was due wholly to home influence,
pressure, or something of that kind. That
the partner of his joys or sorrows approach-
ed his bedside one niglit, and told him in
language not to be misunderstood, that ‘one
couch was not large enough for them both
unless he came out flat. footed for prohibi-
tion,’ or words toltliat effect. The alfdience
were informed that lie yielded then and
there, and that that was the heroic way his
conversion was brought about.” I received
a letter from a good friend in South Nor-
'wrlk. He said, Mr. Bailey speaking of
Westport, said Mr. Belden is a Prohibition —
ist. Knowing I was and always had been a
Republican, this friend asked _ me if there
was any other Belden in Westporl. There
is no other family, so I must be the Ilelden
referred to. When my conversion from
Republicanism to the third party took place
Mr. Bailey does not say. Brit for his e..—
lighleumeut I will-ea ' Iatleuded a Methodist
revival once and the minister had a number
of penilents in front of the altar. Addressing
them he said : “Stand fast! Stand fast ! The
darkest hour is just before day.” I think
that was about the hour I was converted.
It must have been dark -vcry dark. N ico—
demus was converted at ‘inidiiight. He
said: “How can these things be? How can
a man be born again when he is old ‘2”
Well, tell Mr. Bailey I have buckslid awfully
since my conversion, and by the 6th of No-
vember he will be unable to find me with a
prohibition spyglass. He Will have to take
me: upon some side hill and talk to me, and
then, when it is considered that I weigh 2-10
pounds and am still growing, he will find it
difficult to convert me all at once. It will
take more than one tent to effect a change
of heart. as there Will be many side shows
and some lofty turiibliiigs. After the 6th,
Mr. Bailey and his party may adopt and
joinQn singing—
“Bark, from the tombs a do'ef'ul souud'
My ears attend the cry.”
[Please Omit 2d and 4th stanzas]
I never delivered a political speech, and
never disturbed a meeting, religious or
otherwise. Your meetings have always
'been spoken of by you as third party meet-
ings. The words “Women’s Christian
Temperance Union” have never been uttered
in my presence. These meetings, held in
your tent on all days of the week, Sunday
not accepted, have been purely political in
their character, and your Sunday meetings
would put to blush either the Republican or
Democratic parties. The ladies who accom-
panied your tent to Wcsrport, if they enjoyed
the morbid sentiments put forth by the
speakers, and the taunts and, jeers of those
whom they insulted by their slander, could
not have been ladies of much culture, re
finement or social standing. The lady pres—
ideal. of the W. C. T. U. of Westpo.t, after
Iieariug what was said in the tent. hastened
to put a letter in the Westporter, denying
any affiliation with this third party or its
movements. _ .-
I am told this Prohibition party comes lip
somewhat after the manner of the ohl anti
slave party which was a third party for
years, but a party by itself, arid
not an auxilliary to another, fighting its
own battles amid insult' and injury, doubt
and uncertainty. There was a different
force at work then than now. The anti-
slave party did not revile their neighbors,
as the Prohibitioriist are doing. (Here Mr.
Belden gives a history of the anti slavery
movement and its ultimate success )
The candidates of the Prohibitiouists for
President and Vice President are Fisk and
Brooks. The first Iiad always been a staunch
Republican, the other always a Democrat
and never had a drop of Republican blood
in his veins. He has been a 'rebel in the
Confederate army and labored as he prayed,
for the destrvction of this Union—a beauti—
ful combination for intelligent Americans
to support. NowI will take up the first
resolution in your platform. Itreads : “The
manufacture, importation, exportation,
transportation and sale of alcoholic bever ~
ages, shall be made public crimes and pun—
ishable as such ” This is a sweeping dc—
clura'tiou..‘ If youcannot manufacture, im—
port, export or transport, what are your
druggisls going to do? And they do as
little harm as any in the sale of inloxicanls
and every one of you present patronize
them. (Here the speaker offered to call all
the druggisls in South Norwalk to prove
that drugs could not be used without alchol.)
Now, then, if by the fiat of Deity, the
Republican and Democratic parties are
swept away on November‘ 6. and you come
into power by virtue thereof, I say amend
flint resolution, because yell cannot go, and
even now you ought not. to go. to a drug
store for a prescription which calls for any
.of' the articles of which alcohol forms apart.
Supposing your ticket is elected. What
power would a Prohibition President have
over the state of Connecticut? As much as
Grover Cleveland has now—none whatever,
for the constitution expressly declares what
are the rights of the states and those of the
general government. Congress may make
laws fixing revenue upon ,liquor, but the
states alone have power to regulate its sale.
You have but one state which you claim as
prohibitorv.
Neal Dow, 30 years ago, with the help of
the best legal talent of the stale, forliicd a
law which should run parallel with the
Divine law. The state adopted it and it
stands to—day designated as the “Maine
Law.” Yet Neal Dow says there is more
liquor sold there to—day than there was when
the law‘vas enacted. And how are you
going to stop it? Why one of your mem-
bers said if you cannot stop the rum seller
shoot him. That might be as effectual as
the laws in Chitin, where, if a dcfaulter at—
tempts to escape with the peoples’ money
his head is cut off at once. The probability
is that his career for serving the devil is

closed. Well, you say Georgia, Kentucky
and some other states in the south are adept—
ing prohibilory laws, but how is that done.
The poor negro is allowed to vote the pro~
hibilion ticket, but if he attempts to vote
the Republican ticket, or is active in the
cause of Republicanism, he is starved out or
shot down. One Prohibitionist at Westport
said .90,(0) uegrocs iii the south were going
to vote the Prohibition ticket I suppose
he had been down there arid counted them.
Mr. Bailey said to a friend: “The third
party is declining fast, but as long as I can
get. my one hundred dollars. a month and
expenses, I am going to keep in the fielr.”
Now let me give you a little advice. Instead
of trying to capture the whole of the United
States at once, Why not adopt Grant’s plan
and capture one state at a time. He was
willing to lake Fort Donaldson in order that
he might conquer Shiloh, and to battle
Shiloh that he might possess Vicksburg. So
bang away at old Connecticut until you
make a thrill of joy pervade her, but if she
is obstinate try little Rliody along side;
perhaps she might yield to your blandish—
merits.
“’c have got laws in all our northern
states that would regulate, if not.stop, this
traffic, biit they are not piit in force. You
have 14 or 15 rum sellers in your city. If
one of them was breaking the law by selling
openly, and you knew it, is there one pro—
nounced Prohibitionist who would dare to
show moral courage to the case in hand ? I
pause for a reply. -
Enforce the laws we have and we will
have better times. Look at the city of New
Ir. Hewitt makes a good mayor, he
law. I give every man praise
. Aciergymau wrote to him
i for the bold stand he had
taken in the suppression of intemperance—
especially omthe Sabbath, because he said
he could now go to and from his church and
not meet drunken men on the way. You
will not enforce the laws, because they were
enacted by the Republican party, and there-
fore not to your liking. If you will not vote
no license, nor execute the laws, nor elect
men who have the moral courage to put the
laws we Irave in force, then they' must re—
main a dead letter on our statute books.
The men who run your fifteen dram shops
are doing a legitimate business as much
so as your groceryuieu, drygoodsmen, shoe
and clothing dealers. They have paid their
license, and calling them villians and scorin-
drels does not make them more amiable;
you cannot convince a man by calling him
hard names. You are denouncing both
political parties, but more particularly the
Republican party. Now I am a member of
the Republican party and have been since
its formation, and any man who stands up
arid deliberately abuses the Republican
party, abuses me My first vote was cast for
Henry Clay, the great commoner and father
of our American system. He was pitted
against James K. Polk, an Obscure man down
in Tennessee, known only in history.
All things God has are right and proper,
if properly used. People say money is the
root of all evil. It is not; it is the improper
use of it that makes the trouble. \Ve could
not. run a peanut stand, a railroad train. or
a Prohibition party without money. You
inlist not have vinegar on your table, because
it was vinegar once. An old farmer who
was passioname fond of cider, laid in several
barrels; Sunday morning he went into his
cellar to prohibit its working on Sunday.
and while fussing around one barrel the
bung flew out and the liquid ascended
lieavenward. He weighed 200 pounds, so
to stop the fluid’s upward course he sat down
square on the bung hole and called lustily
for his wife and daughter to come to rescue.
He was rescued alive.
Some years ago when we undertook to
buill’the Saugatuck Valley,RaiIroad from
Saugatuek to IIawleyville, Horace Staples
was president and secretary, so we got an
engineer front Port Chester, and president,
secretary and directors took carriages and
drove to Redding Center to prospect the
route. .Bef'ore going, the president, more
thoughtful, knowing there was no hotel
there, laid in a good supply of baked meats,
etc., and among other things a half dozen
bottles of cider. Arriving at Redding. we
spread our cloths on the green grass and
proceeded to business. Some took cider and
some took water, but part of the bottles of
cider wereleft and these were closely packed
away under the seat of the carriage in which
rode the president and engineer. Descend-
ing a hill, “pop” went One of the bottles of
cider. The president, who is somewhat
deaf, was not disliirbed, but the engineer
was frightened half out of his wits. When
he got to the foot of the hill he hastily
aliglited and vowed that some farmer had
(fired on them in ambush, thinking that
pesky railroad was going through his farm.
The real state of afiaii‘s appeared when the
rest of the party drove lip and saw the
liquid running out of the bottom of the
carriage : '.
You say what has this to do with prohi‘
bition. Nothing, only to warn you of the
dangerous tendencies of the article. New I
am going to tell you why I am a Republican.
Because the party has an honorable record,
it saved the Union, cmaucipaled the slaves,
restored specie payment and reduced our
national debt one-half; has never been in
alliance with the slave owners and the rum
power, and fought the war for an honorable
peace. It does not desire to suppress a single
vote in any state, and frowns upon any in-
timidation, crime or fraud used to defeat
good government ; it forrils a wise and judi-
cious tariff, defends American industry
against foreign competition, and finally it is
recruited from the more intelligent and pro-
gressive elements of American population,
and is the organization in which all friends
of civil service reform, practical temperance
legislation or any other movement in the
direction of good government, naturally be-
longs.
Other reasous I might give. I have never
been called a crank for entertaining such
ideal and principles. Some of you,beth men
and women, said you had been called cranks,
persons of one idea. I should not feel like
applying such an epithet. J. Wilkes Booth
and Charles Guiteau were cranks in the
true sense of the word, and dangerous ones
too. 'When the bullet from the revolver in
the hands Of J. V'ilkes Booth, pierced the
brain of Abraham Lincoln causing his death
in a few hours, it took the life of one of the
best men since the days of Washington, and
awakened the sympathies not only of the
entire nation but of all Europe England
and Russia bore special messages of sympa-
thy and condolence to our stricken laud.
And when Garfield was shot in the Pennsyl-
vania depot at Washington by Charles
Guiteau, the nations were again startled at.
this second tragical act. The Queen Of
England, shocked at so dastardly an act,
ceased poring over her state papers to indite
amessage to this country at so heinous a
crime, and as the lamented Garfield lingered
for weeks between life and the grave, she
asked of our Secretary of State, Hon. James
G. Blaine, to kindly send her daily tele-
grams as to his situation and probable recov-
ery. These were sent till death relieved the
suflerer, and then she asked further, to have
Mr. Garfield's portrait, from one of the best
artists, sent to her to liang in her drawing
room among the notable line ‘of England's
illustrious and historical names. Another

flag if it had the name of St. John elilulaz—
ened upon it.
applies to Gen. Il‘isk. I must differ. I
would not have any man’s name, dead or
alive, ripen that flag‘ Our forefathers acted
wisely when they accepted the American
Eagle, as the emblem of liberty. England
has her lion, the king of beasts. So Ameri-
ca has the Eagle the highest bird of flight,
emblcniatical of the rise and progress of
their great nation. The prophet says: “Ye
shall mount up as eagles.”
When the thunder is peeling, the light—
ning flashing,the storm raging,and the hurri-
cane is bending the stoutest oaks and laying
waste villages and towns, and while all the
birds, big and little, are hiding themselves
I suppose the same remark’
V
l . .
amid the rocks and cliffs of the mountains,
the American Eagle is soaring above the
clouds, in the blue ethereal of' Heaven. So
my friends, let that be the emblem that is to
lead us to victory in the future, as it has in
the past.
This campaign I had hoped to see a clean
One, not as it was foiir years ago and evm
back of that. Lincoln was called a baboon,
Grant a butcher, Hayes :1 fraud. Yet Mr.
Hayes administration was the cleanest we
have had for years. Blaine was maligned
beyond endurance. Now the Republican.
and Dcmocralic parties seem to have given
up their mode of warfare and tile Prohibi-
tiouists are doing all the slander-ing, vitupc-
ration and caluniny. If I should he in the
center of Europe, a stranger to American
politics and its people, and should take up a
paper during one of our political carri-
paigns, I should wonder what kind of peo-
ple those Americans wore.
I am for local option and high Iiccii c. If
we cannot do away with the evil, let us regu-
late it. the best way we can. Rev. Mr. IIar-
ris, who spoke at the Repriblicaii meeting
Friday night, September 2lst, was taken to
task last Sabbath by members of this order
in a very ungentlemanly manner. Some
said he told that which lie knew to be a lie,
and should be silenced from preaching,
Mr. Harris is a stranger to lne, but I learn
he is well liked by his people and the corri-
munity here. I like a man who is bold and
fearless in thought and expression and dare
come before the public and give his views‘
and advise a way out of their difficulty.
Some might say with Stephen A. Douglas,
what business have the clergy lo engage in
the dirty pool of politics? [believe in every
preacher keeping abreast of the times. Not
preach over peoples heads, but let their pill-
pit aud platform utterances have in them the
trite steel. bit where it may. The preachers
in the revolutionary war, dwelt in no high—
sounding phrases of liberty and equality.
They went to the very foundation of society,
showed what the rights of man were and how
those rights were best maintained.
The profound thought and unauswerable
arguments, found in those old colonial ser-
mons show, that the clergy of New England
were not a whit behind the ablest statesmen
of the day in their knowledge of the great
science of human government. The eight
years war of the revolution rested on the
pulpit, received its strongest impulse ; indeed
its moral character from it. The teachings
of the pulpit of Lexington caused (Ire first
blood to be struck for American independence .’
Givens more of such preachers. About a
year ago .I listened to an address in West-
port in which the speaker made this remark,
that Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., of New
York, had wine and liquors on his table at
dinner. Two weeks ago I was in N. Y., and
having a little time, I called on Mr. Robert
Graham, Secretary of the Church Temper-
ance Society, a gentleman who held a no-
lable discussion with Mr. Funk, editor of
Voice, on high license and Prohibition. I
asked Mr. Graham if he was acquainted with
Rev. Mr. Crosby. He said he was. Is it
true that he has wine and _ liquors on his
table at dinner? He said he had dined often
with Dr. Crosby, and had never sceu'any
wine or liquor or heard of any on his table.
How some people like to fibabout ministers.
Tire higher they stand the better. Dr. Cros-
by’s son is pusliiug the high license bill in
N. Y. State, called the “Crosby Bill.
One said the Republican party had never
originated one good temperance measure,
biit all good. and true reforms had come
from the democratic party, and said further
that high license was a sin against morality,
and to further embellish his remarks he said
if he could find no other epithet to apply to
the Republican party, Ile would call them
Beautiful language. Well, then, no
sin must be regulated. You must not pun-
ish a man for doing wrong. You must as
Gen. Dix said : “Shoot him on the spot.”
You need no Mr. Harris or other minister
to lead you into all‘truth. Men may deny-
God, blaspheme, steal, bear false witness,
and done they like, and as in your opinion,
no laws regulating such things must be enact-
ed, nothing but absolute prohibition will
answer. Prohibition does not prohibit. If
there is to be no more sin committed until
absolute prohibition prevails, then take down
your pulpits, sell your. churches or convert
them into military barracks, for it costs
money to run them. Having extended my
remarks already too far, a word or two and
I close.
We have a noble country, grand in its
traditions and history. It. has risen to sixty
millions of people, embracing all nationali-
ties. There is more cause for Iiope than
fear, in the future of our country. It is a
government of persuasion, not subject to
disruption through hereditary titles. Then
the people who inhabit it give cause for
h'Ope—formed from the finest Anglo Saxon
races. Here we find the indomitable Yan-
kee, the burly Englishman, the genial Ger-
man, the iptelligent Scotclimau, the polite
Frenchman and the quick willed Irishman-
The tide of emigration is greatly augmented
every year. Then the vastness of this
country with its exhilarating climate, its
geopraphical situation, all give hope for its
future. I love to read her history. ,“I love
her rocks and rills, her woods and tempted
hills.” I love to ascend Iier mountains, to
navigate her rivers, to ride on her railroads
through her villages and cities, alive with
the hum of well paid industry. Yet so long
as we owe a duty to common humanity, and
so long as we love our country and hope for
a perpetuation I-fils glories and its 1 ibertics,so
long should we protest by word arid act
against the giant curse, irrfcrrrperance. Then
let the true and zealous workers of temper-
ance, with no third party attachment, go for-p
ward in the work of this great reform, hold-
ing fast to the fields already conquered, con-
stantly making new achievements, gloryiug
in the past and hopeful for the future, on-
ward and upward, with Harrison and Mor-
