A o Nonw ' «Truth above all things.” FRIDAY, OCTOBER, 12 1894. , 4—4 '— [Entered in the Post-Office as a Newspaper Fairfield County’s Sheriff. Of Tuesday’s two county conven- tibns and the nominees of the republi- cans and of the democrats, the Bridge- port Union thus remarks : “Hawley against Clarkson is the title of the political contest for sheriff of this county this fall. Tuesday the convention of the republican delegates from this county selected Sidney E. Hawley, of Brookfield, as their candi- date for sherifi' and the democratic con- vention honored Robert 1L. Clarkson of Stratiord by a renomination. With Mr. Clarkson’s majority of about 1,700 two years ago, it would seem that his election was reasonably certain, yet with the strong candidate the republi- cans have placed in nomination they are hopeful of terminating Mr. Clark- son’s oflicial life as sherifi' at the end of the present term of office. In the struggle Mr. Clarkson has the benefit or detriment, as the case may be, of having been in office and of making friends or enemies thereby. He has always been a very popular official and has a host of friends. Mr. Hawley, the republican candidate is well known throughout the county as a prominent and hard working republican and one on whom it is believed all republicans will unite and one whom democrats who propose to vote the Republican ticket the coming election will be fully satis' flex .” ——-—4+ Defence of Christian Charity. “Oh, the rarity of Christian charity.” The New York Sun thus rebukes what every one knows to be an injustice: ' “The self-sacrificing Catholic Sisters who collect aims for charitable uses, ought not to be spoken of disrespect- fully by our Baptist contemporary, the Christian Inquirer. It is a shame to call them beggars. 'l’hey are no more beggars than are those Baptist minis- ters who solicit money or take up col- lections for their own support. Through the humble labors of these pious and worthy women, hospitals are supported, suffering is alleviated, child- ren are educated, and the helpless poor are comforted. Not for theuiselves do they ask aims, but for the afflicted, in whose service they spend their blessed lives. They give lo many people the opportunity to make small contribu- tions which they would not otherwise have the opportunity of making. They touch the heart where other means of touching it would fail. These meek Sisters give lessons in charity and de- votion which strike the innermost chords of the soul. Their benignant presence is ever welcome in thousands of the business places and households of the city. All honor be to these good and grand women, the merits of whom are known in heaven.” New York Harmony. Senator Hill has a terrible amount of harmonizing to do before he can tell just where he is at as a candidate. The trouble he had in the Senate was a trifle compared with the disharmony that takes in all New York city and Brook- lyn. The anti-Tammany Democrats in New York would be glad to_ beat Bill, but they care more at this time to re- form the city government’, while the city government, is just the thing for which Tammany cares the most. Hill would no doubt be willing to let the State Democracy print their local candidates with the regular'State ticket if they would be satisfied with that. Unless they are allowed to do so they threaten to run a candidate against him. The Tammany workers kick at any recognition of the kickers, and Hill does not yet see his way clear to harmony. ‘ To Disband. A prominent member of the New Britain Law and Order League is cred- ited with saying that the no license war having been lost by them the organiza- tion as a body will go out of existence after November 1, and the enforcement of the law would be left to the police authorities. The Past , Guarantees The Future The fact that Hood’s Sarsapap' rilla has cured thousands of others is certainly sufficient reason for belief that it will cure you.

We have received this remarkable interesting letter, with the accompany. ing beautiful portrait from Miss Burke, of Amoskeag, N. H., and we place them before our readers: “Soon after graduating from school, I was stricken down with nervous pros- tration, and no one but God knows what I suffered. ' . “I was so nervous that the least little thing would cause my heart to flutter and palpitate. I was also troubled with severe headache and dizziness, which unlitted me for any mental work. I tried several highly recommended com- pounds, but they did me no good. “At last, I decided to give Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy a trial. What a blassing it has proved to me I I can truly say that I owe my present excellent health to Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy. We keep it in the house, as it cures a sick headache or neauralgia in every case, and gives immediate relief. “I am so grateful for the good this wonderful remedy has done me, and in order that other poor sufferers may be pointed to the path of health, I deem it my duty to state what Dr. Greene’s N ervura blood and nerve remedy has done for me. My faith is so strong in this grand medicine which has done me so much good, that I urge others to use it and get well. I have recom- mended it to several, who have tried it and been cured.” The Times Against Them. In his speech before the Democratic State convention of Massachusetts ac- cepting the nomination for Governor, Mr. Russell took particular pains to ad- monish his friends that they had noth- ing before them but a certainty of de- feat at the forthcoming election. There was not even the ghost of a chance for success. “We will lose,” he said, “be- cause the times are against us.” This is not the sort of speech to reuse the enthusiasm of the Bay State Democracy to a very high pitch, but it is well to face a foregone conclusion bravely and better to accept a bad sit- uation as it is than undertake to gloss it over with empty and illusory sugges- tions that it may not turn out as badly as it might. It is true, indeed, that the “times" are against the Democracy. No party could .be expected to weather with any pronounced success such a combination of adverse circumstances as during the past eighteen months has operated to the prejudice of the party in power. Even the failure of the corn crop in the West is charged up against the administration. Had a pestilence de- vastated the country the Democratic party wmud have been held responsible or i . ..-_.._...._._____..._ American Apples in Europe. London m... ll. alers have been look- ing over till: app“: crop, and have de- cided that there is a fine market for American apples this year. The Eng- lish crop is the smallest for twenty years, and prices are high. The Nova Scotian crop will reach a total of 120,- 000 barrels and the Canadian crop about 600,000 barrels. It is expected that Boston will be able to ship between 300,000 and 406,000 barrels, and New York about 1,500.000 barrels. London wants American apples. The first con- signment sold there Monday brought from 17s. to 20s. per barrel. Freights are lower than they have been for years and carriage can probably be secured at 2s. per barrel. .7 Dead Body Found. The dead body of a man very much decomposed was found off the beach in Fairlield, Monday. No clue to the man’s _identity has yet been found, but it is thought that he was a hand on an oyster boat and fell overboard with- out attracting the attention of his com- panions. Tne remains were those of a man about 5 feet 7 inches tall, bald and wearing a grey mustache. The theory that he was a sailor is advanced by the fact that there were no shoes or stock. ings on his feet. The dead- man was evidently between 40 and 45 years old, Here is the voluntary testimony of a most estimable lady, that she was cured by Dr. Greene’s N ervura blood and nerve remedy. It is a wonderful tribute to the great value of this medicine in curing di- sease. There is a large class of people who, while not exactly sick, suffer from extreme nervousness, feel weak and tired, lack their old-time strength and ambition. They do not eat or sleep well, wake mornings tired, with dull- feeling head and no inclination to take hold of their work. To all such we wouldirecommend Dr. Greene’s N ervura blood and nerve rem- edy, for it will certainly give strong nerves and vigorous bodies—in fact will make you strong and well. This medicine is recommended by doctors. It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most suc- cessful living specialist in curing ner- vous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience: The great reputation of Dr. Greene is“a" uaran- tee that this medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone at any time free of charge, per- sonally or by letter, gives absolute as- surance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine. Norwalk’s Congressional Candi- date. The GAZETTE, as its readers of all political parties know, is not a partisan newspaper. It is tied to no party, sect, clique, man or set of men. It has neither religious :dogmas or offensive politics to thrust upon the public. Yet. while it is distinctly nonpartisan, it is as decidedly courageous and independ- ent. Its loyalty to “beautiful Nor- walk,” never has been and never justly shall be, impugned. Whatever event promotes the fame and honor of Nor- walk, at home or abroad, shall ever find earnest espousal in these columns Whatever best promotes N orwalk’s In- dustrial, Manufacturing, Labor, Com- .mercial,Civic and Social welfare,will be supported with all possible ability and earnestness. So when the exceptional honor and distinction is conferred on Norwalk, by,naming EBENEZER J. HILL, One of her citizens, for the United States Congress, the GAZETTE most heartily joins in the congratulations of our best people, with the same fidelity to our town, it did, when a. short time since, another Norwalk man. of another political party, was placed at the head of the United States Patent office. The Gazn'r'rn has no fulsome laudation to bestow upon Mr. Hill. He needs none, expects none, and doubtless de- sires none, at its hands. Nevertheless, such a life as his,is a publicfibencfaction wherever it is lived. Mr.Hill was the son of the late Bev. Moses Hill, and was born in Bedding; in early boyhood he removed to Hartford, and after some three years residence, hecame with his parents to Norwalk, where his school days and later active business life, have been spent. Bis boyhood, his early and maturer manhood, his eager, ar- dent, frank, impetuous and sometimes even blunt earnestness of character, are known to all of,the elder residents of Norwalk. At fourteen he had fitted himself at the Union school to enter Yale, but the straightened circumstan- ces of his clerical father, rendered it necessary for the led to first earn some- thing for himself. He secured a clerk- ship here and for two years served his employers faithfully, and diligently studied his books in over hours. At sixteen, he was admitted to the fresh- man class at Yale and maintained a creditable standing for two years, when 'the war fever siezed him, as it did so many young meii of that period, and knowing the sacrifices his parents were forced to make to maintain him in col- M< m... , _. .. gyman in those days was .very limited,-) he withdrew, with the 1 ”Tom ”f ”Willem Woolsey. and a certification that he could return at any time and enter the junior class. He accepted a clerkship in the Commissary Department of theArmy of the Poto- mac, and served to the end of the war, expecting to return to Yale and finish his academic course. But on getting home to Norwalk, stern poverty com. Delled him to relinquishf his cherished collegiate career and again he accepted a clerkship; he then went to Iowa and enflaged in the lumbtr business at Clinton. on the west bank of the Missxs- Sippl. Where he remained but abrief period when he returned again to the home of his choice in Norwalk. He soon after engaged in the lumber busi. ness here and has since put it at the head of our largest and most pros- perous concern, in that trade. ‘By nature, he is endowed with unusual breadth, activity and versatility of in- teliect, and a robust and untiring indus- try. lie is a man of broad gauge ideas; nasa natural taste and fondness for politics, and the association of public men, with whom he has an exception- ally large personal acquaintance, both state and national. ', Mr. Hill believes with intensity in whatever cause he espouses. He is therefore an earnest friend of the sold‘ for, for he believed in and served in the war for the preservation of the Union. He honestly and earnestly be- lieves in Protection. In his view it is wiser anda duty to give employment to our own American workmen for such manufactured articles as this Nation needs, instead of sending our money abroad to aid the foreign mill- owner and his half-paid operatives. So deep and strong were his convictions as to the necessity of Protection for this country, that he voted for Horace Greeley, as our ablest and most con- spicuous embodiment of that principle, when he was nominated by the Demo- crats as their candidate for President. Mr. Hill is and for years has been, a consistent member of the M. E. church, of which his late father was so able and prominent a teacher. And in his relig- ious as well as secular life, he has al- ways seemed more desirous to win the approval of his God, than the applause of men. Of no man can it be more truly and emphatically said, that he is “dilligent in business and fervent in spirit.” He is president of Norwalk’s superb electric Street Railway Com- pany; president of the Gas Company; vice president of the National Bank of Norwalk; vice president of the State Board of Trade and of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the Revolution. He is a Mason and an Odd Fellow, of the latter fraternity he has been Grand Master of the state and twice chosen Grand Representative of Connecticut to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the order. 'He was elected by the New York East Conference to represent that body in the quadrennial General Con- ference of 1892 at Omaha; was twice elected burgess of Norwalk; twice chairman of the Board of School Visi- tors; served four years on the Republi- can State Central committee; in 1886 was elected senator from the 13th Dis- trict, by more than two hundred major- ity, although the district had been pre- viously carried by the Democrats. He represented this Congressional district as delegate to the National Republican convention of 1884, and has been hon- ored by his Alma Mater with the de- gree of A. M. He has been a life stu- dent; has a remarkable memory ; is a good speaker, and able and strong as a debater. But over and above all, he is a sound honest, common sense, successful busi- ness man, thoroughly grounded in his knowledge of, and familiarty with fi- nance; tariff, manufacturing and com- mercial affairs. If elected to represent this district in Congress, he will prove exceptionally active and useful to us, the state and the nation. He would bring honor and credit to his district because of his high character, clear headed, practical, brainy ability and really phenominal industry. is Seriously lll. Gen. E.S. Parker,supply clerk of the N. Y. Police department, is seriously ill at Fairfield. He is suffering from an attack of nervous prostration, which it is feared, may result fatally. The General had a paralytic stroke a year ago. He was on General Grant’s staff during the war, and earned promotion through bravery. He is an Indian, being a lineal decendant of the famous Indian chief, Bed Jacket, and is 75 years old. an.’ ‘. :_ _«. . ‘ T E O i " V.‘ . oPiNiNo WEEK‘- BllY’S DEPARTMENT! Commences Wednesday.
