MR. A. M. GIBSON.

This gentleman, yielding to solici- tations of friends, has announced his candidacy for the office of county and Probate Judge of Pope county, subject to the Primary election. Mir. Gibson is . resident of Wilson township, and is as well known perhaps as any man in the county. He is doubtless well quali- fed to fill the office, and if elected, will discharge his duties with fidelity.

Is Connecticut Honored ?

We see it frequently remarked that Con-
necticut is henored in receiving the chairman
ships of both the principal national committees.
! We do not see it in that light. The chairman
ship of political committee is given to the
| shrewdest, most energetic, least scrupulous
politician that can anywhere be found
| Men like Edmunds, or like Bayard, are not
| the kind of men chosen for such places. That
Connecticut politicians should not be of tht
kind to whom the, country would think OF
looking for candidates of prime ability, and OF
such reputation as can stand the heat of pres
idential fires, is no disgra ace but that Con-
necticut should be looked to as the place
where the shrewdest manipulators of men,
the most energetic workers of political ma
chinery, the most INSCRIPTIONS buyers OF
voters, are to be found, is not fact which we
consider creditable to the state.
In the present case there is another serious
consideration. 1t increases the power for
evil of the men we most dislike to see in con-
troll of home politics The baleful career of
William H. Barnum has raised neral
stencil that has for years sickened honorable
men with Connecticut Democracy. 1t has
turned the journals of a so-called Democracy
into the ebedient tools of plutocracy. 1t
has kept able men like Richard D. Hubbard
in the background. or filing mere positions of
honor, while the positions of profit and real
influence were coolly reserved for Barnum
himself, or his appointees.
We are sorry, also, to see Marshall Jewell
given the control over Connecticut politics
which necessarily results from his position as
chairman of the National Republican Commit
tee. Many Republican journals, who have, in
time past, objected to Mr.. JEWELS political
methods and ambitions, no doubt regret the
opportunities of interfering with the natural
course of political events in Connecticut
the National Committee has thrown in his way
but they can say nothing. We are under
no such obligation to keep silence.
Our readers cannot have forgotten the course
Mr.. Jewell took in the Senatorial fight of 1878.
Through his agents in every part of the State,
he organized personal party. He went into
the legislative caucus which nominated United
States Senator expecting the largest vote of
any candidate on the first ballot. He found
then, if he never knew it before, that the peo-
pie were considerably stronger than any one
man, and that their choice was Joseph R.
Hawley. BY cunningly combining every
form of opposition, he succeeded, for once. in
battling the popular will He came out of that
contest with no apparent prospect of ever be-
coming United States Senator himself, and
with but slight prospect of being again able to
defeat Gen. Hewley for that position. His
present place, however, doubles his opportu-
mites for again defeating the will of the peo-
pie by cunning machine work. That, very
frankly, is our objection to Mr.. Marshall
Jewell as Chairman of the Republican Nation

The End inst. was marked by one of the

were favored by much needed rain, at which

joyment of the evening outside the house and

would otherwise have afforded. The Chinese
lanterns cleaning among the trees, and the
we'll Illuminated house and piazza, looked
beautifully as we approached, and within the
wild flowers and exotics won Explanations of
delight from almost everyone. The bride and
groom received congratulations in most befit.
ting manner and call went merry as mar
rage bell" Some of tie wedding presents
are beautiful and valuable but one thing
looked significant. There was evidently a
fear that sweetness might predomidate in the
future, and to counterfeit it six pickle dishes
were presented. After excellent and bounti-
full refreshments had been served, Mr. Thrall
read little moroccan that had been sent to
doctor and wife, prefaced with some fattering
comments. The writer took the first stanza of
Brainards address to newly married couple
and carried the smile little farther, thus:
81 saw two clouds at morning,
Hinged with the rising sun;
And in the dawn they flOated on
And mingled into one.
AS day advanced they higher rose, ...
And still held on their way,
Till at meridian's highest point,
Behold the Silver Wedding Day.
And higher still may they advance,
Till tinged by setting sun
The Golden Wedding of their life,
Shall be their happi6st one.

1t is believed that it was William Fl. Van
derbilt who furnished the money to bring over
the Egyptian obelisk which arrived at New
York, last week. The ''monolith" was erected
by one king, and it is proper that it should be

intervene between the dynasty of the
