The Timid TinksiS Tackle a Ticket
AND BRING OUT A BANTLING
TO BE BURIED
BY Democratic Ballots.

This great popular upheavaT has
had its shale-up. 1t has heaved,
haggled and hooted, and the erup-
tion is dream of the past. To-day
the sun shines as serenly as it did
the day after Pompeii was buried.
In fact there doesn't seem to be
much disiiguration Of the fair face of
nature and even the political atmos-
phere remains at about its normal
condition, and the good, staunch
Democrats are settling themselves
down in a quite way to the work be-
fore them.
The county had been thoroughly
canvassed, and every effort possible
made to work up enthusiasm and
create opposition to the Democratic
! ticket. Trusted henchmen had been
sent out by the leaders into the re-
mote precincts to "iiX" delega-
tons so that a full representation
might be had--by proxy or otherwise
SO that a great popular crusade
might be made to capture the Offices
and perquisites thereunto belonging.
Yesterday the conclave met to
patch up a platform and mold tick
ct. But a sense Of gloom seemed
to settle down over the gathered
statesmen. Even after they had
assembled for business, a sort Of
vibrating hush filed the hall of ell
oquence with depressing luminosity
until the conviction began to steal
over the minds of the spectators
that this was only gathering Of the
bcvered friends to pay the last sad
rights to the defunct Republican
convention of two weeks ago. Fin
ally, somo one being moved by the
spirit and loaded with a speech,
opened up and the spell was broken.
The slate having been prepared be-
fore hand, even to the selection OF
the va'ious committees, there was
but little difficulty carrying out the
programme as arranged, except
that experienced by the chairman il
reading it.
The victims selected for the sac
riGce on the 4th of November are
as follows: Council, Geo. B. Bar.
Der; representative, Floriencio Con
zalos; sheriff, Frank Lcsnct; probate
clerk, Sidney Parker; probate Judge
w. II. II, Miller; treasurer, Arcade
Sais; assessor, Sam. r. Corbet; su.
perintendent Of schools, DR.. O'Rouke
For commissioners, they selected
John A, Brothers, who declines tc
be offered up, and threw out a feelel
for Democratic support by attaching
the names of A. w. Bryan and Fran
cisco r.. y Lueras, whose election
was already assured.
Taken altogether, the gentlemen
on the ticket are fully up to the
characters of the parties selecting
them, and they have our commiser.

Fires.

In Shelton and AnsOnfa-A Bridgeport
Patrick Gynas barn in Shelton was burned
Sunday night and with it a COW, calf, hay,
etc. Loss $500, insurance $3.50. The fire
was probably of incendiary origin.
A tenemsnt house in Ansonia owned by the
Ansonia Land and Water company caught
fire Sunday night during the high wind.
By prompt work the fire was sxtinguished.
Damage small. The house was occupied by
three families, ReardoR, McGrath and
Roberts, and was enc of the houses damaged
by the flood. Much excitement prevailed and
ed and thereby ne collection for the sufferers
wss taken as was intended.
About half past six O'Clock yesterday morn
ing the shoe store of Mr.. P. E. Abbott in
Bridgeport was discovered to be on fire. Mr..
Abbott had just reached the store when the
discovery was made. The firemsn succeeded in
combining the fire to the store and soon had u
under control, but not until the entire stock
was badly damaged by smoke and water
The Sterling Hotel over the store was filled
with smoke, which penetrated the rooms
occupied by the boarders and guests,
and but for the prompt action of Land
lord Whiting and his assistants, who
went about assuring them that three was no
danger, panic would probably have ensued.
A man named Myers, of Birmingham, was
stopping at the house and was awakened
about $50 by smoke. He thought some one
was engaged in burning rubbish in the back
yard, is often the case at this season of the
year, and went to sleep again. An investiga-
ton shows that the fire started in a pile of
rubbish consisting chiefly Of paper and old
shoes deposited in the back part of the cellar
and was probably the result Of spontaneous
combustion, as there was no fire in that part
of the building. The pile of material was to
have been removed yesterday. Mr. Whiting
says the damage to the hotel property is
slight. Mr.. Abbott was unable to state his
loss He said his inventory March LIST
amounted to $4,000. He was insured for
about Sc, 900. A large portion of his stock
which was stored in drawers and boxes will
probably be saved.
The firemen also had another call yester-
day. 1t was for a fire in the rear of John N.
HRwley's clothing store. Damage slight.
