- The Next President.
' unfit-iii. GeofFran'k Hutton, now edi-
tor of the Washington Post, issued an ar-
ticle in that paper carefully prepared by
himself, weighing the probabilities and
the effects the admission of tlio‘new States
will have on the electoral vote of the next
Presidential election. ‘ He figures, that the
chances of Republican 'success'lin 1892
have been improved by at least teilwotes.
If these‘ be added to those already as-
sured; the Republican strength. becomes
180. The electoral vote will then stand
thus: Reliable republican votes, 180; sure
Democratic votes, 156, and doubtful, 78.
The Electoral College at the last presi-
dential election numbered 401 votes, and
201 were necessary for a .cjboice In 1892
is will be 414, with 208 necessary for a
choice. The republican candidate will
lack 28 votes for the election, while the
democratic candidate will be 52 short.
The real contest, therefore, will take place
in the doubtful States. If the republican
candidate simulti carry New York, he
could lose all the other doubtful States
and yet be elected ,.- for 36 New York votes
added to 180 sure republican votes would
make 216, or 8 more than are needed.
Without New York, republicans can win
by carrying Indiana, 15 votes; California,
8 votes, and West Vii ginia, 6 votes, mak-
ing 29 votes, which, added to 180. make
209; or by carrying California, Connecti-
cut and Indiana, with the same result; or,
still further, by carrying California, Mon-
tuna, Rliode Island and Indiana, making
in all 210 votes. Without New York, re-
publicans can win With Indiana and two
or three other doubtful states.
The Democratic candidate starts out
with 156 sure votes. Should he carry in
addition New York, 36 Votes; Indiana,15,-
Connecticut or West Virginia, in all 219,
he would be elected; or if he should carry
New York, Indiana and Rhode Island,
these would be suflicient ; or without In-
diana, if the democrats carry New York,
West Virginia, Connecticut and Rhode
Island; or New York, (‘onnecticun Cali-
fornia and Montana, they will elect the
next president of the United States. From
this it is evident that New York is abso-
lutely necessary to democratic success,
and that without it the democratic con-
test will end in inevitable and hopeless
defeat.
The Cause of It.
'We have been requested to state in de-
tail the causes which produced the repub-
lican defeat at the recent borough elec-
tion. To do this will necessitate some
very plain and possibly unpleasant speak-
ing, and we are not quite prepared. to do
it, though it may become a necessary part
of journalistic duty. Suffice it to say
these causes in no way reflected on the
candidates who went down They were
upright, honest aml Sensible men, and
ought to have been elected, and under or-
dinary circumstances would have been,
but so indignant were scores upon scores
of our best party voters at what they
deemed the shortcomings of the existing
official dynasty, that deliberate scratch-
ings were indulged in to an extent fatal to
our ticket. In the case of Mr. Keeler es-
pecially, he is a man of acknowledged cu-
terpise, lichesty and ability and far more
greitly lute-w sted in the business and
property interests of t or borough than his
competitor and yet for no lack' of popu-
larity on his part, he went down with all
the l'cSt save two. Had he remained at
home and given his personal attention to
his canvass he would unquestionablyliave
been elected, hilt he would have missed
the greater pleasure of seeing the monster
Masonic pageant at Washington.

Hillside.
A most delightful entertainment was
given by Mrs. M. E. Mead. at Hillside,
last Friday evening, to her friends and
pabl‘ntm, who were preSeut in large num-
bers. After cordial social greetings, the
following programme was rendered by the
respective ariists:

Miss Lila G. Willis.
VIOLIN bond—Scene do Ballet,

The soprano soloist, M=ss Lila T. Willis,
sang her solos to the delight of her criti-
l and ' appreciative audience. MiSS
scavey gave a pleasing exhibit of her
mastery over the keys of the piano. It; is
no disparagement to the other highly
accomplished and appreciated artists to
say that little Misls Bertha Webb, of New
York, was the special favorite ofthc even-
ing. llier performanCes on the violin
were exquisitely fine and her execution
gave evidence of a rare native aptitude iii
the handling of that dulcet instrument
amounting to genius. She was assisted
by her cousin, Mr. Hall, of New York,
who played an accompaniments on the pi-
ano. All in all it was a rare entertainment
antimade one feel proud that Norwalk has
a school blessed with such superior and
elevated concomitants.

court of Burgesses was held Monday even-
ing. His Honor, Warden Coolidge sat at
the head of the table and disposed of the
routine business with neatness and des—
patch. All the burgesses were present,
each inspired Willi a realizmg sense of the
importance of the principal business in
hand. 'At the right of the Warden sat
Clerk Perry, his desk cleared to receive
the bills and other documents to be trans-
mitted by the honorable board. At the
Warden’s left sat tlirce bashful but hand-
some reporters to whom the Warden told
funny stories whenever business seemed to
lag. Borough Tax Collector Burr Smith
sat near the railing, q l and self pos-
sessed, but with a determined expression
of eountenance which denoted that some-
thing was on his mind. Charles Wand,
borough engineer sat vis-avis with His
Honor, his pockets bulging out with maps,
charts and bills to come before the meet-
ing. Foreman. Merritt of Pioneer Hook
and Ladder-company sat modestly near
the door, pale and nervous but resolute.
“Seym” Curtis. sewer inSpector sat in
variousattitudes, walked the floor and sat
in all the vacant chairs during the meet-
ing, with a restlessness natural to him and
not superinduced by solicitude for the fate
of his bill for services rendered, iipon
which the board was to pass.
Promptly at 8 o’clock the Warden fin-
ished his last funny story to the reporters
and rapped for order. A number of bills
were read and ordered paid. Petitions
from S. T. Ruby and R. J. Brundage for
privilege to erect frame buildings on Cross
street were read and granted.
Foreman Merritt was ordered to stand
up and state his grievance. ile reminded
the court of its promise made months ago,
to make certain repairs in the truck house,
which promise had never been fulfilled,
notwithstanding the Warden, the chair-
man of the fire committee, the chief en-
gineer and first assistant had all been im-
plored and all had made pretty promises.
Burgess Franke was again authorized and
ordered to see the work properly and
promptly done, and Merritt went out
happy.
Burr Smith came to the table, laid down
a ponderous aSSessment book and, after
considerable consultation and numerous
suggestions, had the taxes of Charles E.
.St. John and the defunct firm of Roscoe,
Camp & Co abated for the reason of
errors in the assessment. Engineer Wood
submitted a profile map officially estab-
lishing the grade of the road-bed on East
avenue, which was accepted by the court.
Then the principal business of the meet-
ing came up. Burgess Morison, chairman
of the highway committee, made a brief
statement, reviewing the investigations of
his committee and of the court, concern-
ing the practicability of macadamized
roads, particularly in Bridgeport. with a
view to having the macadam adopted in
the borough. He had prepared an esti-
mate of inacadamizing the principal streets
of the borough, figuring on a basis of 65
cents per square yard, with 10 per cent.
added for possible contingencies. The
estimate for West avenue, 14,883 square
yards, $9,673 95 ; with 10 per cent. added,
$10,637.90; Main street, 7,182 square
yards, $4,668.30; outside estimate, $5,-
135.14; Water street, 2,131 square yards,
$1,385.15; outsuic estimate, $1,523.66.
Here followed a general discussion of
the subject in which the whole court and
the engineer participated with a volubility
( 1' technical terms that made the reporters
stand aghast and marvel at their evident
falniliaiily with a’l the various qualities,
procrsscs anti degrees of excellence of
different rocky roads made of asphalt,
trap rock, Belgian blocks, blue mountain,
bastard granite, etc. The discussion
finally came down to the most advisable
course to pursue to secure the consent of
the borough to have the streets macadam-
ized after the manner of some of the
streets in Bridgeport, to the thickness of
about four inches. Burgess Morison
suggested the calling of a special borough
meeting to authorize the issuance of $20,-
000 of bonds, but Clerk-Attorney Perry
said the borough could not issue bonds
without special legislative permission. A
suggestion was then made that aborough
meeting be called to appropriate $20,000
for the purpose. This was discussed at
some length, and the clerk was requested
to draw up a resolution calling the meet-
mglilere the clerk exploded his dynamite
bomb. He asked to be excused from
drawing up any such document as he
didn’t care to be in any way implicated in
the matter. He said this macadam matter
was being sprung on the court at short
notice, and the court intends to spring it
upon the borough at short notice. The
server business was sprung in the same
way and he thought it was a very unwise
action. It would be an easy thing to get
a few people tOgether in the town house
and vote an appropriation, but that vote
would not be in accordance with the gen-
eral sentiment of the borough and the
court would be censured and cussed by
the people for increasing the borough debt,
just as former courts had been censured,
and he, as clerk and legal adviser of the
court, did not propose to share in the
inevitable condemnation, therefore if such
a meeting was called, he would ask leave
to withdraw from the ofiice of borough
clerk. The Warden looked solemn; Bur-
gess Osborn raised his eyes to the ceiling;
Wheeler’s ever present smile faded and
his mustache drooped; Morison stopped
making figures and looked around as if
awakening from a pleasant dream ; Sloan
sat like a sphinx that “looks andlboks
. and looks, but speaks not ; ,” Jones scowlq
ed and continued writing a. motion forl‘a
‘ eall ; ‘Franke turned around and lua husky
\
chew of tobacco. The succeeding still—
ness was broken by Osborn, who has the
faculty of squashing every objectionable
proposition simply by agreeing with its
good points, turning it tenderly around two
or three times in his deliberate way, and
then banging it between the eyes with both
fists. He argued eloquently against such
arbitrary action on the part of the clerk.
He tried the pathetic, the righteous indig-
nation and the injured innocence dodges.
He said the court was entitled to more
respect than the clerk’s action showed;
that it was not a “square deal” for the
clerk to abandon his post just at this
juncture, etc. Wheeler said the clerk’s
withdrawal under the circumstances
would be a reflection on the court. Jones
failed to see how the clerk could consider
himself liable to censure for such a call,
as long as he was not the court of burgess-
es Then the idea occurred to Morison
that the call might be worded to provide
for a meeting simply to talk the matter up.
This suggestion called attention from the
clerk’s warning and soon an *animatcd
discussion was going '. on over the
object of the proposed call. Final-
ly Burgess Jones moved that a call be
published for a borough meeting to be
held Wednesday, October 30, at 3 p. m.,
“to consider the advisability of macadam-
izing West avenue and, if thought best, to
make an appropriation for the same.”
This was lost, the warden voting nay. A
substitute motion by Osborn wording the
call “to consider the expediency of inac-
adamizing West avenue,” was lost. More
discussion and suggestions followed.
Morison suggested they call a meeting
“for a purpose.” There was con-
siderable parliamentary sparring, more
consultation with the clerk, more
figures, a few jokes, some sandwiches
and ginger p0p, some funny stories,
and finally the identical motion that was
put and lost first, was again offered and
this time carried, the warden voting aye.
This calls a meeting on Wednesday next,
at the Town House, at 3 p. m., “to con-
sider the advisability of macadamizing
West avenue, and if thought best to make
an appropriation for the same.” Clerk
Perry read his resignation, which he said
was final and peremptory, and after some
expressions of regret the board voted to
accept the resignation and to appoint a
new clerk at a meeting to be held next
Monday evening.
Clerk Perry read a statement of the
borough receipts and expenditurts for the
current year, which showed that all the
departments from January lst up to date
had‘very nearly exhausted their apportion-
ments for the entire year. The receipts
to date are about $38,000, “andgentlc-
men,” impressively added the clerk, “you
are coming very near spending every d—d
cent of it.”
To Call 3 Pastor.
The following legally prepared notice
was read by Rev.>Dr. Murdock, from the
pulpit of the First Congregational church,
Sunday morning and evening :—
A meeting of the First Congregational
Society, of Norwalk, Conn., will be held
in their Chapel, at 8 o’clock, on the even-
ing of Wednesday, October 23.], 1889,
to appoint a committe of “three persons to
meet a similar committee; which has been
appointed by the church to take charge of
the supply of the pulpit, with power to
recommend the settlement of a pastor of
said society and church. on such terms as
said joint committee may deem satisfac-
tory, and on hearing the report of said
joint committee, to take such-action there-
on as said society may dteni proper.
Dated, Norwalk, October 18th, 1889.

The legal notice was supplemented by
the following further anticiiliccrni‘lit :-—
“It is understood that this Wednesday
evening meeting will merely ai'l‘point a
committee to co-Operate with the com-
mittee appointed by the church, and the
meeting will at once adjourn till 8 o‘clock
next Friday evening toliear and act upon
the report of the joint committee”.
It is anticipated that this joint action of
the church and Society, will result in ex-
tending. a fully authorized call to- Rev.
Dr. Noble, of Washington, as stated by
us a fortnight since. This venerable
church will surely be fortunate if it can
secure as its pastor a man of Dr. Noble’s
conceded ability, piety and exceptional
popularity. The committee on the part
of the church consists of Messrs. Ira Cole,

' OBITUABY.
Professor Edward 3.11311,
Professor Edward S. Hall, field-super-
intendent of the American Missionary As-
sociation, died Friday from typhoid fever,
at his home in South NorWaik, after an
illness of only a few days. ‘He was: born
in New Hampshire and at the tin]; of his
I
death Was barely forty years old. About '
twenty years ago he was graduated at
Amherst College and the rest of his life
was given up to school instruction. For
the last. three years he had been principal
of the South NOIWaIk public school.
Twelve months ago he was elected South-
ern field superintendent of the American
Missionary Association. He leaves a
young widow, but no children. The
funeral took place at his home Monday
morning, the burial being at Amherst.
Buckley.
The sincerest sympathies of our entire
community go out in unwanted measure
to the stricken household of Mr. and Mrs.
John H. Buckley, over the death of their
cherub child, which occurred on Satur-
day. A few brief months since, the angel
life of this precious babe opened to them
like some rare and beautious flower, filling
the hearts and home of the fond parents
with a flood of supernal light and joy.
Monday its little form, all cnshrowded in
the sweet flowers that loving hands and
pitying hearts had strewu upon it as flt
embelems of its own brief and beautiful
life, was laid away at rest. We know
how utterly vain are the tenderest words
of sympathy to those sitting in the shadow
of such a sorrow. Soon or late, every
human heart must suffer similar trial and
only the good Father of us all can sustain
and comfort His stricken children in. such
an hour. May .“He. who tempereth the
wind to the shorn lamb," give His peace
to these bereaved parents whose’ hearts
now yearn with unuterable longing “for
the touch of a vanished hand, and the
sound of a voice that is still.”
John D. Candee.
A fitting monuument has just been
erected over the grave of Hon. John D.
Candee, at Bridgeport, as narrated by our
correspondent in his letter from that city
in to-day’s paper. We first knew Mr.
Candee when a youth, working at a
printers’ case in New Haven, to earn the
means for paying his way through Yale
College, and which he successfully did.
His example at that time was an inspira-
tiou to our own boyish ambition to do the
same, and ever since, during a long and
busy life he and the writer were ever close
friends in sympathy and association. He
was the embodyment of all that was lofty,
noble and honest in manhood, always
true to friends and just to foes, and
though he has passed through the sunset
gate before us, his memory and the recol-
lection of his noble qualities of head and
heart, will abide with us while life lasts.
Peace to his ashes—[Em GAZETTE.
William Henry Williams.
After the reading of the gospel last Sun-
day, the rector of St. Paul’s church made
brief‘iribntion of the recent decease of a
former assistant of the latelDr. Mead, the
Rev. William Henry Williams, of Eng-
land. Mr. Williams was born in the sea-
‘port town of Plymouth, in the south of
England, on February 24th, 1825. He
came when quite a youth to this country,
and at about thirty years of age began the
work of preparation for the ministry. He
was ordained to the Diaconate in 1855,
and immediately afterward was called to
St. Mark’s church in New Canaan, from
which parish he was advanced to the
priesthood May 2lst, 1856. From New
Canaan he was called to Johnstown, Ful-
ton County, N. Y. Dr. Mead then gave
to him the work in South Norwalk, after
which he was called to North Canaan and
Winstcd. Conn., and after that to Dixon.
lll., then to Albany, Georgia, and then to
Rhoda-Island. In 1874 he returned to
his native land, and having married an
English lady, was put in possession of
the living, as vicar, of Podga‘le in Lanca-
shire. He did good work at Podgate, as
a repairer and restorer in that abcient
Cure, in the principal Vicarage of which
he fell quietlyto sleep on Fri lay, the llth
inst. He was buried in the yard adjacent
to the parish church. He leaves two sons
of much promise—the Rev. John W. Wil-
liams, at present one of the assistants in
Trinity church,;New York city, and Dr.
George Williams a preaching physician in
Warrington, England.

Weehly Newspaper and Family Journa
. . . in‘the Country.
The Weekly Edition, of the Springfield,
(Mass) Republican. which was established in
1824, by Samuel Bowlers, has recently been en.
larger] to 12 pages or 84 columns:" The price
remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a month for
shorter periods.
This generous enlargement, adding 28 col-
umns to the capacity of the paper, allows the
introduction of many new and attractive fea-
tures.
The news of Western Massachusetts and
New England in particular, and of the World
in general,is now presented in a more thorough
manner than ever before. _ The news matter is
not thrown together in promiscuous fashion,
but is carefully edited and intelligently arrang-
ed. '
The valuable literary department, for which
the paper has always been famous, is made
richer and more comprehensive.
A sermon or other serious paper is printed
every week, selections being made from the
leading preachers of the various religions hod-
ies. and often from the local pulpifs of Western
Massachusetts. The religious news and , dis-
cussion of the day is also carefully reviewed. .
A bright, entertaining and wholesome orig-
inal story, and also. an attractive department
for young people, are regular features.
Each number contains a good variety of oz-
iginal or selected poetry. The special inter-
ests of Women in the way of education, work,
household afi'airs, dress, ete., receive liberal
attention every week. .
Interesting letters from regular and occa-
sional correspondents are more fully given
than has heretofore been possible. The news
of the theatres and of outdoors sports is pre-
sented when interest and importance justify. ‘
Agricultural news and hints for the farmers
are carefully gathered and occupy more space 1
than formerly. ‘
The .people’s interests in all political, social
and industrial affairs are steadily studied and
advocated from the stand point of independence
and a patriotism that is higher and broader
than partisanship.
In a word, the publishers seek to make The
Weekly Republican more than ever the best
weekly newspaper and family journal combin-
ed in the country.
To all residents of New England who do not
take a daily paper, or who desire to simpler-
mont their daily reading by another presenta-
tion of the world’s current history, accompan-
ied by a choice class of general reading, the pa-
