THE ELECTIONS. .
Election day Opened cloudy and threat-
'cning, and the atmosphere,' especially
within the borough limits, had a pro-
nonnced democratic ~tint and feeling.
The voting was light on the hill and heavy
at the borough polling place. In the
borough election fifty more votes were
' cast than last year. The republicans
elected E. O. Keeler for warden, and also
captured two out of the six burgesses.
The rest of the borough ticket is demo-
cratic. The republicans elect their entire
town ticket exceptingthat we have two
democratic selectmen, with Co]. Sam.
Daskam as First, with a tall F. The
votes on the town, borough and city
tickets are given below.

PASTERS.

Have all voted Who wish ?

The “preliminary skirmish" indicates
that the big battle will be—to the strong.

Mr. Warden Kceler, good morning, sir!

And the same to you, Mr. Town Clerk
Smith. We Wish you both many happy
returns.

It was an exciting race between Gormley
and Morehouse for constable. Gormley
made a good fight but the Odds were too
great and “Bob" got there safely.

“Thim that is rich can ride in their
chaises” every day but election. On that
day the vehicles are monopolized by the
others. ' _

There was little or no drunkenness dur-
ing the day, and the police had no trouble
maintaining order. . ~ ‘

Judge F. W. Perry voted a borough
ticket Monday, for the first time during
his residence of sixteen years in the
borough. , .

The restrictions of the secret ballot law
divested the term election of its usually
exciting features. At the borough polling
place, however, where the secret ballot law
was inoperative, there was, considerable life
and some fun, the button-holers, coachers,

. paster peddlers and scratching brigade get-

ting in their work in the highest style of
the art.

The big steam roller'was a pon‘dcrou
issue. . .

“I believe in standing by the caucus
nominations,” remarked a straight-outer.
_“So do I,” replied the scratcher, as he
stuck another block on his crazy-quilt
ticket, “but I find it makes a better ticket
to draw upon both caucuses.”

King Caucus ruled comparatively su-
preme in One instance at least. The pro-
hibition ballots went in pretty‘tolerably
straight.

Mercy! but what a surprise party Bert
Kemp gave his competitor, E. M. Lock-
wood, Esq., in the race for borough col-
lector. '

In the temporary absence of the Chief,
whose usual post-election greeting is “All
hail, little New Canaanl”.and in view of
the lugubrious invocation of our esteemed
correspondent in that astonishing town
it might perhaps be well to paraphrase the
old greeting and say, “Oh lI—l ! little New
Canaan."

The first report from a neighboring
town came into the GAZETTE Office by
telephone from our esteemed New Canaan
correspondent. It came in a voice thrill-
ing with demi—semi quavers of ill sup-
pressed emotion, and bore this rollicking,
exhilarating intelligence: “New Canaan
has gone drunk by 40 majority. Praise
the devil 1”

Many a grudge was paid Off on Mon-
day; many a spite gratified; many an
ominous promise fulfilled. The dark
security Of the smoke-house preparation
room, like the anonymous newspaper
communication, affords conditions favor-
able to the successful dirk knife perform-
ance of the friend with a long and reten-
tive memory.

Burgess Bowe, while he possesses the
true aldermanic proportions, again gave
evidence of the fact that he is a good
“runner,” as his race with his own ticket
shows. '

Every man is his own caucus nowadays.
What we want of the next legislature is a
law prescribing an Official pastor.

WILTON.
The new system of voting created much

merriment. About 200 votes were cast.

by about 23 majority. The selectmen
elected were Josiah Gilbert, Chas. A.
Ambler and Samuel G. Lockwood. Mr.
Lockwood it is said will not act.

EAIRrIELD.
Fairfield goes Democratic by an average

majorityof less than 50, and. the town
went for License. ‘

STRATEORD.

Stratford gives an average majority of
70 for the republican ticket.

, BETHEL.

Bethel goes republican, as usual, by an
average majority of 70, HowardH. Wood-
man being re-elected town clerk, and
Arthur S. Judd, and Frederick E. Bene-
dict, republican, and ex-Scnator George
M. Cole, democrat, selectmen. NO vote
was taken on the License question, and

' the town remains No License.

JOHN ,S. SEYITOUE. NOMINATED
, FOR. THE SENATE.

 

He Advocates a. State Railroad if No
Corporation Can Get a. Charter and the
Consolidated Road Will Not Build It.

 

The democratic senatorial conVention
for this district met at the Norwalk Hotel
yesterday, and nominated our townsman,
John S. Seymour, for the Senate.

In accepting the nomination Mr. Sey-
mour read to the convention a plan for a
state railroad through this town and

hrough the state as the only practicable
way of getting any road at all.

The convention then unanimously rati-
fied both the nomination and the plan.

Charles N. Wood was elected a member
of the State Central Committee for this
district.

" Mr. Seymour's platform was as follows:

GENTLEMEN: I, thank you for the honor,

which you have conferred upon
me, and accept the nomination for
senator in this district. I take

the opportunity also of avowing my
acceptance of the principles laid down in
the democratic platform of the last state,
convention, and shall do my best to prOinul.
gate them in the present campaign.

The question most affecting this sena-
torial district, however, is so important that
in justice to myself and to those whose
sufi‘rages I ask, it ought in fairness to be
clearly stated and to be discussed and con-
sidered at some length now and here.

A great part of the wealth, the popula-
tion, the business, the enterprise of the
state of Connecticut is within a strip
of territory ten miles wide along the
shore and throughout the length of the
state. The pressing need of that territory
is another railroad along its entire length
from west to east, as far inland and as far
north of the New York & New Haven
road and the Shore Line road as it can be
reasonably located. Such a new road is
absolutely necessary to the growth and
proper development of its commerce and its
business.

The enterprise Of building such a road
has been projected by various companies—
some good, and possibly some bad—for the
last thirty years, and charters have been
sought from the Legislature authorizing its
construction. All such attempts have been
defeated. The New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad company has caused
their defeat. The need of such a road,
though great at the outset, has been growing
year by year, and will continue to grow.
Recognizing .this, and recognizing equally
the power of the New York & New Haven
railroad to defeat such an enterprise, not
only in the present, but possibly for some
years to come, a body of citizens represent-
ing many interests in Norwalk, and sup-
ported really, though not formally, by other
communities along the Sound, petitioned the
New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
last spring to build such a. road itself, in—
stead of four-trackingits present route. The
proposition was urged and discussed from
many points of view, and was respectfully
considered by the company. On our part it
was urged that such a road would not be. in
the full sense of the term, a. competing rail—
road, even if in the hands of a rival com—
pany, but would Open up new country,
affording facilities for business that were
now wanting, and could be supported by the
local traffic alone along the route. The pe-
tition was denied .

The situation, therefore, plainly stated,
is this: The New York, New Haven&
Hartford Railroad company will not permit
any other company to build such a. road, or
to Obtain a charter for doing so, and will not
build the road itself. On‘ no plan and by
no method hitherto proposed is such a road
likely to be built within the next fifteen
years, yet the public need is great, and is
yearly growing still greater.

We are compelled, therefore, by this con-
dition of things to find other means of sup-
plying the need, Or else supinely lie down
and confess our inability to deal with the
case. ,
Should I be elected to the senate I would
introduce a carefully prepared and carefully
guarded bill authorizing and directing the
state Of Connecticut to build and maintain
such a railroad. It should extend from the
state line on the west to the state of Rhode‘
Island on the east, through the northern
suburbs Of the towns and cities along its
route and through the city of N orwich, sub-
stantially in a straight line, without grade
crossings, without draw-bridges except over

- the Connecticut river, and Without-serious

grades. It would cost at an outside 'esti.
mate fifteen millions of dollars, to be raised
by three per cent. bonds ofthe state. _ Such
a road should be under the control of a State
board of perhaps twelve, consisting of such
men as Judge Morris, General Merwin, ex-
GovernOI Ingersoll and ex-Governor Bige-
low, whose names I take the liberty of men-
tioning merely as types, for it is done
without their knowledge or permission. It
should be built and maintained'by the state,
and for the commerce and business of the
state, allowing all railroads 'Of the’
state, including the Consolidatedroad itself
to use it in proportion to their needs, the
state, collecting therefor a moderate toll on
their traffic sufficient to pay first, the cost
of maintenance; second, the interest on the
three per cent. bonds; and third, to provide
for a moderate sinking fund that would, at
the end of a: series of; years, retire the
bonds and leave the state the-Owner cf the
road. You will not fail to note that the

state would run no trains, but would main-.
tain the road for the other Companies of this
.tate to usc,jrist as the .Ccnsolidated road-
uses the‘anrlem for ‘ tWelve ‘4 miles. It is
needless to say that such a road would be
built to, and connected with, the great rail.
road systems on the’east and on the West by

the railroads already, there;'by the Boston-

 

& Maine, the Old Colony System and others

 

on the one hand, and by the Hudson River,
the New York & New Haven, or the
Pennsylvania system on the other, or by
some of them, although the traffic on such a.
road Within tbe limits Of this. state should
be solely conducted by the railroads of this
state, and not by any of the outside connect;
ing roads. ‘

I do not think a man in the state, conver-
sant with railroad affairs, can say that by
any other course of action a railroad, meet-
ing the demand herein described, is within
sight at the present time. If this is so the
course I have outlined is justified by the
condition which confronts us.

I do not propose state control of the rail-
roads as a general proposition, and will go
no farther in this direction than to urge
this course in the present emergency as the
only course open to us for getting what we
so muclrneed.

If the legislature will charter any re—
sponsible corporation to build such a road
under a guaranty that the road will be im-
mediately built if the company is chartered,
or if the New York, New Haven 85 Hart—
ford road will ask for power to build such a
road and will guarantee to build it, then the
proposition that the state should build
such a road would not be justified. But if
no suchother company can get such a
charter, and if the Consolidated road will
not take such an extension of its own
powers as to build it, then it should be de-
manded and persistently urged that the
state should build it. We want the road;
we do not care who builds it.

Do you ask whether the state has power
to do this? There can be no doubt Of it,
and it will not be denied. The constitution
does not forbid it, and except as restricted
by its constitution, Connecticut has all the
powers that any other state of the union
has. Other states have carried through great
public enterprises of a somewhat similar
character. Our next neighbor on the west,
the imperial state of New York, in 1817
commenced the Erie canal extending from
Albany to Buffalo, 363 miles long, and
finished it in 1825 at. a cost Of $7,602,000.
The project was first submitted to the gen-
eral government. It failed of support, but
as governor of New York, DeWitt Clinton

.succeeded in carrying it through as a state

Work. For the most part it traversed a
wilderness ; it was the most extensive pub—
lic work up to that time that the govern—
ment of the United States or any state had
undertaken. It was afterwards improved
by widening and deepening the canal and
extending and rebuilding its locks at an ex-
pense of millions more; so that from the
beginning of the work to the close of 1866
the Erie and Champlain canals costs for
construction and improvement $46,018,234 ;
for repairs, maintenance, collection of tolls
and all other expenses, $12,900,333,or a
total for construction, maintenance and all
incidental expenses of $58,918,567. But
during that time it received from tolls $81,-
057,168, or $22,138,601 more than the state
expended in every manner upon the work,
or a net gain of over forty per cent. on the
entire outlay.

Our neighbor on the other side, the great
state of Massachusetts, completed the
Hoosac tunnel as a state work, and expended
thereon $14,000,000. This is not in all re—
spects so favorable an example asthat of
the Erie canal, but it illustrates the power
Of the state and the propriety of its under-
taking public works which are either too
great for private enterprise, or which for
any reason can be obtained in no other way.
One company after another undertook the
work and failed ; but in 1862 the state,
having before that time lent its credit to
the enterprise, took the work into its own
hands and completed it in 1874 for the sole
purpose Of affording more direct and ser-
viceable communication between Boston
and the west. It is true that Massachu-
setts has seen fit to part with its interest in
this work to one of the railroad systems of
the state, but the end has been accom-
plished, for the tunnel was built.

Again, the state of New York authorized
the cities of New York and Brooklyn to
build the Brooklyn bridge, a work which
Was demanded by the needs of business and
commerce, but which was regarded as too
great for private enterprise. The result
amply justified this course, for from the
very moderate tolls charged it is now found
that the Operating expenses are but 55 per
cent. of the gross earnings; so that thOse
cities, although they assumed a debt for the
construction of the bridge, are yet secure
for all time against any loss from the

undertaking.
SO here, while the state would in the

first instance assume a debt, it cannot be
doubted that the tolls paid to the state
upon the traffic of the'proposed road would
abundantly secure the state from any loss,
and would finally give the road to the state
Moreover, the proposition is timely, for
the state'is now substantially out of debt.
There is no state tax. It is not likely
there will ever be one again, and there is a
surplus of over $200,000 yearly running into
the state treasury. The position is fair and
just to all the’interests involved. and there-
fore it is strong. '
I .have no hostility to express for the
rConsolidated road, and have no wish to
abridge its enormous traffic or to have any-
body else do so, but I only voice your senti-V
ment and that of the great majority of the
district when I say that we. resent the ob—
struction which is practiced by that com-
pany against the pressing needs of the state
inthe matter of such a road. ' - 2
No stone should be left unturned toget a
road. All ways to get it but this have
been'tried in vain. If you send them the
senate I shall consistently and persistently
push for accomplishing thegrentend in view
as a state work unless Somebody else wilt
point out anotherwsy to it. I am unwilling

 

 

to an under rsipo'ooian.‘ If you", g'eiitleni'en .

of this convention, do not heartily endorse

‘this'plan,'or hesitate to support it, or think

i ill-advised at the present time, or for any
other reason doubt the propriety of it. then
my declination is in your hands, and you
should continue your session in order to
nominate some other candidate. If you
assent to it and will fight for it let the fight
begin in earnest and at once.
with great respect, very truly yours,

JOHN S. SEYMOUR.

1s A Railroad In Sight?

The great need of this town, this sena-
torial district, and this state is another
railroad. Many plans to get it have been
tried and defeated. The democratic sena-
torial convention for this district has
boldly grappled with the question and
proposes a railroad to be built at once by
the state, if-no corporation can get a
charter to build it.

John S. Seymour was noninated. He
had carefully prepared a plan which we
print in full in another column; it was
submitted to a number of conservative
men of both parties, who almost unani-
mOusly pronounced it good. He backs
his proposal by the example of the state of
New York in building the Erie canal. It
was unanimously'accepted by the conven-
tion. It is strongly stated. It is a cour-
ageous utterance. '

We can do no less than to urge our
readers to attentively consider it.
