Consolidation. .
There is a growing belief that some
people in this town have nursed their
parochial ambitions about long enough,
and that the elements of a “greater”
Norwalk should be welded into one it:
respective of the wishes of these gen:
tlemen. Those who believe in less
taxes, or rather in better results from
the expenditure of public money,
should favor consolidation._ These who
believe in having a city commensurate.
with our wealth, population and lid";
vantages, one that would compare fag.
vorably with her sister cities, and one
that would {have something behind' it
beside a name, should stand up and
be counted for consdlidation. If we
could hear the ridicule and contempt
heaped upon usby outsiders because
of our childish antics to keep apart we
would blush to have it known that we
had ever even rode through Norwalk.
We understand that an attempt, and
a serious one, is being made to bring
about a consolidation of the three N or-
walks, and we hope it will be crowned
With success. As one city we can grow
in all directions ; as it is now South
Norwalk cannot grow northward or
eastward, N orwalk cannot grow south-
ward, and East Norwalk prefers her
present status unless she can become
part of the city of Norwalk. A city in-
clud1ng the more thickly settled parts
of the town has a future before it lim-
ited 11s to area only by the town bound-
aries, and if the occasion warranted we
could‘ go over to Westport some day
and take in that place before the peo-
ple had got over their usual afternoon
nap.
Those who have the framing of the
new city charter can, if they desire,
give us an organic law that will help
the progress of the city. In the first
place let us get rid of that abomination
known as“farmiug lands” and have
land tax ed upon its market value irre-
spective of its actual use, so that neith-
er greed nor sentiment shallrstand in
the way of progress or a full city treas-
my. Unless some way is devised to
cure the “land misers " of their habits
the city will grow slowly. Our several
water commissioners could be dispensed
with and the supervision of the works
and the collection of revenues should
be attended to directlyby the city.
Our streets should be paved and our
sewers built by partial assessments.
should be obtained: fire limits and
building inspectors should be provided
for so that fire traps could not be built
and old rookeries could be demolished.
Our mayor should be elected for two
years, and one half of the council
should retire each year. We don’t
need a board of aldermen any more
than a Norwalk constable needs a pock-
et pedometer. As to the public debts
and public property of the two cities if
East Norwalk gets reduced water rates,
public lights, better roads, sewer facil-
ities and other advantages, there is no
reason why the whole; city should not
be willing to assume the debt of the
two cities. These are matters of detail
and can be easily settled at a confer-
ence of our best business men from
each section. Any way the most crude
and hastily devised scheme of consoli-
dation is vastly better than the present
state of divided energies and petty
municipalities.

A 120W OVER THE RESOLUTIONS.
It Is Precipitated by the Action of the
Minority in Forcing the Postponement
of the Election of a General Secretary.
The Resolutions.
LOUISVILLE, May 12. —-W. W.‘ Tracey. of
Illinois, succeeds Mr. Clarkson as p1es1—
dent of the National League of Republi-
can clubs. There was but one ballot taken,
resulting as follows: M. .H. DeYoung,
California, 406; \V. W. Tracey, Illinois.902;
General D. H. Hastings, Pennsylvania,
413. Tracey’s election was then made
unanimous.
An uproar was precipitated over an ef—
fort on the part of a majority of those
present to refer theelection of a. general
secretary of the league to the incoming
executive committee, this move being in
the interest of J. F. Burke, at present the
president of the League of College Clubs.
It was heatedly antagonized by the dele-
gations from Ohio, Kentucky and other
states who were already pledged to another
candidate. ChairmanTracey ruled that
under the constitution the convention it-_
self was compelled to select'the oflice1,and
thereupon the opposition got within the
constitution with a. motion that the elec-’
tion be passed. Thereupon them was an-l
other war of words. Amidst. uproar and
confusion the roll of state was called and
the proposition to pass was carried by a.
vote of 1,069 to 706.-
A moment later, when the supplement-
ary report of the committee on resolutions
was called for. the defeated 700 thought it
was the opportunity, and through Dele-
gate Bundy, of Cincinnati, it proposed
‘ that the resolutions should also be passed.
This intensified the excitement, and for
several moments the yells and counter
yells made the convention a veritable pan- .
demonium. It happened that one of the '
resolutions sought to ' be barred deplored
the death of Hayes and Blaine. .In a tem-
porary lull Delegate Goodenough, of Min-
nesota, chairman of the resolutions com—
mittee, managed to bring out this fact,
and standing up in his seat he shook his
clenched fist at the Ohioans, and de-
manded to know Whether 01' not the con-
vention itself was competent to act upon
such a resolution. .
The convention was getting beyond the
control of the chair when a. broad
shouldered Californian in the rear of the
hall made an impassioned appeal for peace,
declaring that it would be base ingratitude
for the convention, even by implication, to
dishonor the memory of Blaine.
speechhad its effect and the resolution
was adopted by a rising vote.
The balance of the supglementary report
being also approved, it was as follows:
“Since the last assemblage of Republi-
cans the patriotic citizens throughout the
length and breadth of the land have met
an irreparable loss in the death 'of R. B.
Hayes and J ame's G. Blaine. ‘—
“Resolved, That a. committe of nine be
appointed to investigate and report an-
nually the condition of the party organiza-
tion in the southern states.
“The Republican party is the party of
the people, and the purposes of its cre—
ation was the destruction of slavery and
the greatest possible expansion of human
liberty within the law: It knows no sect
or creed, there fore the exclusion of any
person fiom any Republic an club organi-
tion on account of his religious belief
merits the severest condemnation of the
league.”
Thanks were voted to retiring President
Clarkson and Secretary Humphreys. A
letter from General Master Workman
Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, was
referred, without reading to the “incom-
ing committee.”
John P. Dolliver, of Iowa, made a. part-
ing address and at 5 P. M. the con vention
adjourned sine die.
