Thelr Enthusiasm Gone.
During the campaign of 1884 Grover
Cleveland had a large- following of pro-
minent men who gave unselfish devo- ’
tion to‘his interestsiand labored for his
election. The same is true of Presi-
dent Harrison ‘in 1888. “Does anybody
know what has become of the larger
portion at these men ‘3 Where are they?
Why are they not to-day as active and
unselfishly ‘unsparing of themselves as
they were during those campaigns?‘
The answer is because, upon trial in the
position they aided them to reach, they
have been found to be different men
from what they supposed them to be.
They have found them without grati-
tude and inclined to ignore those who
had won- them ' the Presidency. They
have disappointed these - workers who
are now sitting down looking quietly
on at the approaching election without
interest iii-the result. Is there any
wonder that the campaign lacks enthu-
siasm ? ‘
Whatever of interest manifests itself
during'the time that shall elapse be-
fore election, will be solely upon the
principles of the respective parties and
not upon the men who represent them.
Dr. Pierson and the Tabernacle.
The opposition which is outcropping
in the congregation-of Spurgeon’s Lon--
non Tabernacle to the proposed call of
Dr. Arthur Du Pierson, of Philadel-
phia, to the pastorate of that church, is
of such an aggressive character that
Dr. Pierson could hardly occupy the
pOsition with comfort to himself or ben-
efit to his flock. It does not appear to
be based upon Dr. Pierson‘s nationality
so much as upon radical differences of
faith between himself and the late Mr.
‘ ‘Spurgeon. The latter, for instance, be-
lieved in baptism by immersion, where-
as the Philadelphia clergyman consid-
ers sprinkling quite sufficient, and this
of itself. the dissentients claim, is
enough to disqualify him.
But there are family differences also,
that enter into the contention, in which
Mrs. Spurgeon conspicuously appears
in behalf of her son Thomas as her hus-
band’s proper successor ; while the fur-
ther insistence is madethat if Dr. Pier--~
son should become pastorof the Taber-
nacle, the Rev. James Spurgeon, a
brother of the deceased, and quite as
obnoxious as Dr. Pierson, would share
with him in pulpit ministrations and
government of the church.
Under such circumstances the judg-
ment of a disinterested layman would
be that the best‘way to avoid what might
prove a source of serious discord, if not
open rupture, in the Tabernacle would
be to select a pastor upon whom the en-
tire congregation could agree, and it
occurs to the Washington Post as some-
what strange that Dr. Pierson doesn’t
take the same view of the matter and
look for work in some other vineyard.
A clergyman is not strengthened by
the alliance of garrulous and fussy cav-
ilers who cackle incessantly for forty-
six out of every forty-eight months,
and then'devote the remaining two to
taking it back. -

At last W. R. 'Munyard, the well,
prietor of the Domestic laundry, has
landed in jail. The ‘Gazarra some
Weeks ago made mention'of the fact of
his having left “town owing quite a.
number of bills, and was informed at
the time that hehad secured a suit of
clothes from 1 Bryant. Besse & 00., un-
der false pretenses; The firm have kept
quiet about the matter, thinking to ap-
prehend him. Yesterday they heard
that he was in Stamford, and engaged
Constable Morehouse to arrest him.
When he left here he took a;horse. and.
wagon with him. .It is now learned that
disposed of the same to. Mr. Davrd
U nderhill, a blacksmith living near the
Cove” Mills, and together With his Wlfe
was boarding at Mr. Underhill’s. where
the"ofiicer found him and placing him
under arrest brought him here and
locked him up in the station house in
default of $100 bonds. _, .
It seems that he Visited Bryant, Bes-
se & Co.’s clothin store late one’S'atur-
day evening, an selected a suit of
clothes valued at $18, and asked to take
them home for examination by. day-
light, and if satisfactory he would call
in on Monday and pay for-them and if
not would return them. _ Until to-day
the firm had not seen either Mr. Mun-
yard or the garments. Theywerefoun-d
in his possession at the time of his ar-
rest. .
This morning he was taken before
Justice Coolidge on the charge of theft.
He plead not guilty and said that he
proposed to pay for the clothes in ' a
short time. The Justice found him
guilty and placed him under $200bonds
for appearance before the Superior
Court. He was unable to secure_that-
amount and was taken to the Bridge-
port jail. . - _
Munyard does not enjoy a very envi-
able reputation in town, and this is by
before the Courts. ' .
His wife is spoken of as a very nice
woman and has gainedmuch sympathy
in her troubles with_,,the man whom she
evidently cares a great deal for, and

Death of Frederick A. Farley.
Frederick A. Farley, a member of
Co- E, Thirty-seventh Massachusetts
Volunteers, and also a member of Rob-
erti'gfl. Tyler Post, No. 80, G. A. R..
Hartford. died Tuesday morningat the
St‘.‘ Clair hotel, Richmond‘,'Va. , of pneu-
monia, after an illness of- two on: three-
days. Mr Farley 'resided’ at Pine
MeadOw andwaswciutedmwrthfieori‘g

traveled much throughtheusmte, and
was well known in G.'.A. .R..cu‘cles, » ' .
Mr. Farley went to the G. A. Bren-z.
campment at Washington ’1n goods
health, and there contracteda cold;
which led to his death. .Hewas "about
65 years of age. The body _will~be.
brought to Connecticut for‘burial. -
Comrade Farley is -well known- to,
Norwalk soldiers, and was in town only;
a few weeks ago receiving applicationf
for pensions. Quite a number of Nor};
walk veterans made through him appli--
cations both for pensions and“ for 1111-.
crease of pension. . . _
The Hartford Times says: Years ago-
Mr. Farleywas a constable in New
Hartford and achieved considerable "
note in working upthe Chidseymurder
the murderer of the Chidsey sisters in
Avon, and the legislature voted him in
the end compensation for the work per-
formed in the case. The trouble at.
tending the affair involved him in a li-
bel suit that lasted for months. His
defense was successful. Mr. Farley
was a member of the Masonic order.
Jeweler Perry 'Misslng.
Charles S. Perry. of Westport, has
been missing for two weeks and the
prevailing opinion is that he has appro-
priated thirty watches which were 'left
with him for repairs. Perry came-from
New York city where he had been
working in a 14th street jeweler’s estab-
lishment, several weeks ago and bought
out Richard H. . Taylor, of Westport,
who has conducted a jewelry establish-
ment in that town for a number of
vears. He styled the new firm, Charles
S. Perry- & Co., the “Co.” being an un-
known quantity. .
He carried a small stock of jewelry
and an examination of the premises
showed that these goods as well as. all
the watches left with him for repairs
were gone. At the time of his depart-
ure no suspicion was aroused, but Per-
ry’s continued absence finally caused
apprehension among those who had
'left their watches with him to be re-.
paired and the result of the investiga-
tion verifies their fears. ..

A Comparison.
In the October elections of year be-
fore last, 53 of our Connecticut‘towns'
went Republican, 67 towns went Demo-
cratic, and in 46 towns it was a stand-
0 . ~
In last year’s October elections, 70 of
the towns went Republican, 56 towns
went Democratic, and in 40 towns it
was a drawn game.
This year, 76 of the towns go Repub-
lican, 50 towns go Democratic, and in
40 towns honors are easy. -
Republican gain in two years, 23
towns. Democratic loss .in 'two years,
17 towns.

Poisoned by Scrotum
Is the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their
own. Scrofula is more specially than
any other a hereditary disease, and for
this simple reason: Arising from im-
pure and insufficient blood, the disease
locates itself in the-lymphatics, which
are composed of :w-hite tissues; there 18‘
a period of foetalf-llife'when the whole
body consists ‘of’ white tissues, .and
therefore the unborn-child isespecially
susceptible. , to this dreadful disease.
But,there is a remedy for scrofula,
“whether hereditary or acquired. It is
,.ns¢d‘s Sa’rsaparilla, which by its "pow-
‘ei’ful-‘efi'ect' on- the blood, expels all
'trao'esof'the disease and gives tothe

American Institute Fair.
The Columbus celebration week in
New York seems to be a proper time
for the opening of the Gist exhibition
of the'American Institute. The en-
couragement to American industry and
invention given by the Institute, and
the success which it has achieved, and
the value of the present Exhibition
which will open on ~Monday evening,
all entitle the Institute to the consider-
ation that it has had in the past, and
which it still merits. The ceremony of
Monday night will be under the usual
auspices of the Exhibition, which will
open on October 10th. It affords a
great deal of amusement and instruc-
tion for 25 cents admission, day and
evening.
The Danbury Fair.
The attendance at the Danbury Fair
yesterday was something immense.
The Fair has been all and more than
promised, and Danbury has cared for
the crowd in a handsome manner. The
railroad service has been excellent, and
the chronic fault-finder even has to ad-
mit that the whol-e'afl'air is a complete
success. _, Large numbers of N orwalk
people visited the exhibition yesterday,
and large numbers will be there to-day.
The Danbury Fair is something that is
never blotted from the memory of
those who visit it. The exhibits in
every class are large and they are
largely enjoyed by all. It is the great-
gstt t affair of the kind in the United
a es.
