Whoop Her Up. '

Ever since the formal opening of the
present campaign it has been painfully
apparent to the innocent spectator that
there was something lacking. The
candidates were all nominated in the
usual manner, the platforms contained
the regulation amount of pointing with
pride and viewing with alarm, and
there are as many hangers-on about
the respective headquarters as is cus-
tomary, but at the same time there
wasavoid thattended to prevent a
complete and thorough enjoyment of
the great Presidential tilt. This deficit
has been wiped out and it can now be
ofiicially stated that the campaign is on
in all of its fury.

Up to yesterday the campaign wob-
bled alongin a dreary manner. Now
observe the transformation. All is
bustle and excitement in the camps of
the different organizations. For this
change for the better we are indebted
to ex-Governor Waller, who opened
the campaign at South Norwalk last
night with an able speech presenting
his side of the controversy, and the no-
tice in the GAZETTE of a meeting to-
night of the Republican enthusiasts for
the organization of a Harrison and
Reid club. This is as it» should be.,
Whoop her up boys and let the band

play. '

Horse Cars in Collision.

At five o’clock yesterday afternoon

car on the Winnipauk line and one of
the, main line cars. The cars started
from the depot at the same time. At a
short distance from the depot there is
an automatic switch, the car for Winni-
pauk turning to the right and the one
for South Norwalk going direct. Gen-
erally the Winnipauk car leads at the
switch, but yesterday it was stopped to
take on a passenger. The driver of the
other car, Fred. Sweet. kept. right on.
Driver Andrews of the Winnipauk car,
whipped up his horse and succeeded in
getting ahead and partially across the
switch, but not in time to escape being
struck by Sweet’s car. Luckily .the
only damage done was the bending of
the platform dash of the Winnipauk
car. The accident might have resulted

A large number of our young p'eople

“Pretzel” had a friendly six round set-
to for a purse, and one dozen pretzels.
At the end of the bout, Butch was bad-
ly used up, his ear being cut, and his
nose resembling an overgrown goose
egg. Butch is game, however, and of-
fers to fight any man in the State.
“Pretzel” is by far the better mannand
declares that he could have killed
Butch, but he wanted him to share the
money and pretzels. The S. N. A. C.
are thinking of securing them for their
annual entertainment which takes
place soon.

Banner Raising at South Norwalk.

A number of the locr‘ democracy as-
sembled at the democratic headquar-
ters on Water street last evening, and
headed by a drum corps marched to
South Norwalk, to participate in a
banner raising in that city and listen to
an address by Hon. Thomas M. Waller.
The Norwalk contingent was met by
the city club and Heine’s band, and all
then marched to Washington street
where the banner was to be swung.
With music and the discharge of fire-
works ‘an unsuccessful attempt was
made to unfurl the banner. The trou-
ble was caused by the rope on which
the banner was strung being too slack.
The banner had been swung in the af-
ternoon and gathered up in a roll, and
with a rope so arranged as to, by a pull
of the same, unfur... This rope was
twitched too hard, and the slackness of
the top rope allowed the banner to
come in contact: with a live electric
light wire, causing sparks which set fire
to the banner in several places. '

The crowd then adjourned to Music
Hall, to listen to speeches by ex-Gov-
ernor Waller and Representative Da-
vid Callahan. The hall was crowded

and there was scarcely standing room I)

left. Chairman Nelson Taylor, Jr..
opened the meeting with a few well
chosen remarks and then introduced
Mr. Waller, who addressed the meeting
on the campaign issues of 1892." Mr.
Waller has lost none of his characteris-
tic wit and power of making his re-
marks clear, and that he is still a favor-
ite speaker in town was demonstrated
bv the applause which he received.
he was followed by Mr. Callahan With
an interesting presentation of‘ State
matters. The meeting was one of the
most enthusiastic ever held in town.

iThe State’s One Fourth.

This makes the total expense of remov-
ing the grade crossing at the entrance
to the East Hartford bridge $169,965.
Under an act of the general assembly
pssed in 1889, the state pays one-fourth
the total expense.

Baal a Health
NONE ! : ‘

THE presence of C bolero ‘z’u
Wew York Bay, its appearance
in New York city, and its sus-
pected‘eulrauce into this State,
as reported from Wew- Ha’veu,
make it llze duty of the local
Board of Health to advise such
precautionary and preventive
measures as may be needed, to
compel its absence from our
midst, or to successfully combat
it, If discovered with us.

While the cbauce of its being ‘
found bere is small, yet a regard
for Public Safety demands that
lbe most efleclz've steps be taken
to meet its coming, not in lbe
sense of ularmz’sls, but of a wise
forelbougbl, even as lhougb tbej
Asiatic scourge were knocking
at our doors. ~

Cbolera 2's emz‘ucully a fillb
disease. It 275 not contagious m -
the same sense as is Scarlet
Fever or Small-Pox. It is z'ufec-
tlous, communicated by a speci-
fic, lz'vz'ug germ. The disease,
cannot exist unless lbe germ
exists, uor occur unless the germ
gains access to lbe lutestz'ual
canal. “ Tbe Watchword of
Protection is C leaulmess.-”---
C lean ourselves --- and with
clean surroundings, lbouglz lbe
C bolero comes, it will fall to _
find an abiding place. -

W e lberefore urge upon the
Public a careful attention to lbe
establisbed rules of bealtb. Uu-
sanitary conditions should be
removed, a watcbful overszlgbt
kept as to the surrouudz'ugs,and
a éz‘lzougblful vigilance m the
destruction 9‘ all causes foster-
mgfillb.

Tbe rBoard advises lbe llbor- _
ougb cleaning of all premises
and streets, the removal of all
fillb and garbage, tbe disinfec—
tion of all vaults and cesspools.

ll commends a personal alim-
lz'ou z‘o hygiene and its luws,cmd ,
to the fact lbut lbose who lead
cleanly and regular lives rarely
take C bolero. “Its victims are
mostly among lbe dissipated and ’ '
dirty.” . - .' .

ll bespeuks a 'cbeelful and"
bean‘y co-operatz’ou from the peo-
le in its eflorls to guard the
town from tbe inroads of pesti-
lence or disease.
