BULLDOG AND MONKEY

Am Italian Organ Grinder ArOuses che
 Wrath of Ohicer NOonan and is
 JugGed. >.- ~..rr--s
 Officer Maurice Noonan WAS 8 pretty mad man yesterday and this morning his temper had not resumed Its normal tenn perature. He does not say that justics has not been done him, but he looks it just the same.
 The officer was working in his garden yesterday afternoon when along came an Italian organ grinder with the proverbial monkey attached to a chain. Maurice was good natured and the Italian, who had been turning out national airs for his amuse- ment, sent monkey over the fence. Of ficer Noonan is the owner of a fine bulldog which objected to the trsspass of an Italian monkey on his premises. He bounded at the monkey aud was shaking the life out of him when the. Italian whipped out a revolver and blazed away at the dog.
 Officer Noonan was not in uniform, but he recognized at once that there was an in fraction of the law. He jumped for the Italian and placed him under arrest. The latter objected, but Maurice Noonan never loses man when he collars him. An ex- press wagon was driving by and the officer hailed it. The organ was first put in the wagon and then the monkey, the Italian following. The monkey bounded out. so did the Italian, and so it went, in and out. until finally the officer tied the monkey to the organ, sat on the Italian and the pro- cession wended it's way to the station. There were 8 great many children in the vicinity at the time and it is wonder none was hurt.
 Officer Noonan told his story this morn- ing. The surprising part of it all was that Judge Cowell issued an order to settle the case for $40. There were two charges against the Italian, whose name WAS An tonic Giavano, carrying concealed weapons and shooting in the street. The revolver was of thirty-two- calibre and was enclosed ! in a leather case.

SOLDIERS COUNTIES.

New Haven and Meriden Said to Be
 Afraid of Bankruptcy.
 There is alarm in New Haven that the claims presented under the soldiers bounty act of the last legislature will we'll nigh bankrupt the treasury. Selectman Bretzfelder says: "Of course. we can't tell what we are going to do at this time. 1 understand that there are claims prepared to be submitted to us for payment which will amount to S35O, 900, which is including interest, and if these claims are valid I don't see what we are going to do. But," added MT Bretz- fielder. Il understand that we are not so badly off as Meriden, for have been told that there are claims against Meriden amounting to more than $400. 900. Then the claims which the towns of the state must pay under this law will amount to several millions of dollars" Some of the lawyers think that the clause of the law saying that the statute of limitation shall not apply will not stand in the courts.

BLOCKED AGAIN.
Discrimination By the Hoard of COna-
 pensation i'm Regard to Public Im-

Discrimination By the ROard of Conn.,
 pensatiom i'm Regard to Public 1m-
 prOvements. ..-.~
 Property owners along the line of the uroposed extension of Washington street are anxious to know what action the mayor will take in relation to the report of the board of compensation on the bene- fits and damages arising from the grading and leveling of the street. It was stated last night that the mayor did not intend to sign the report and had determined to recommend that it be referred back to the board for further consideration.
 When interviewed on the matter this morning Mayor Kilduf said that he did not know what he would do about it. "What is the sense of charging the entire expense of putting that street through against abutting property owners" he said. ''and letting property owners on West Main street go scot free? It is just as much of 8 public benefit as the widen ing of West Main street and yet those peo- pie are taxed the full amount of the cost of doing the job, while the expense of the other work is saddled onto the public.
 II was in favor of compelling the West Main street people to pay something towards widening their street, but if you notice they succeeded in putting it through at the expense of the city. But perhaps it might be just as we'll to let these matters go ahead, for if a man should refuse to sign these petitions he would be accused of blocking legislation. The Washington street extension matter has been long time in hand and know some of the people are anxious to have it settled. have been told that they are satisfied and if this be true why suppose it is all right. and should advise them to come in and pay portion of their assess ments and we will go to work on the job as soon as possible. If the owners of property along that street are wise they can save themselves considerable expense by calling on the city engineer and get ting the proper grade before making exca- vations for cellars. If this should be done and all conform to a uniform line the place will be one of the most slightly pub lie fhnrnnrhfares in fha cify."

WHAT is DEMOCRACY.

Democracy is sentiment not to be
appalled,, corrupted or eemprised. It
knows no Raseness: il covers no dan
ger; it oppresses 10 weakness. Fear
less, generous apa humane, it rebukes
the arrogant, eherishes honor and
sympathizes with the humble. it
comedies nothing but what it demands.
Destructive only of despotism, it is
the sole CONSERVATION Of liberty, LABOR
and property. 1t is the sentiment of
freedom of equal rights, of equal OBJ
legations. 1t is the law of nature
pervadipg the law of the land. The
stupid, the selfish, and the base in
spirit pay denoupce it as a vulgar
thing; but in the history of our race,
the Democratic principle has deyelop-
ed and illustrated the highest moral
and intellectual attribute of onr ma
ture. Yes, that is a noble, magnani
NOUS, sublime sentiment which ex-
pands our affections, enlarges the
CIRCLES of our symrathies and elevates
the soul of man, until, claiming an
equality with the best, he rejects, as
unworthy of bis dignity, and political
imnlaRities oyer the humbiest Of his
fellows, Yes-itis an enobling prin.

Speeches, Congratulations and
A Cheerful, Democratic
Festival,
A United, Harmonious s,.Ethusias'
tic Democracy, gives Prom
Use of a Glorious Vic
tory This Fall.

The Central Committee and the
Democracy of Hooking County met
in the Court Room on last Saturday
afternoon, canvassed the election re-
turns, and ratified the nominations.
Mr.. D. H. Lappen, Chairman of
the Central Committee called the
meeting to order, and on motion A.
L. .O'Neil, of Star was elected sec
retary.
The votes of all the townships, ex-
cept Saltcreek being in possession OF
the Chairman, the canvass was pro-
ceeded with. The vote Of Saltcreek
came in by late mail. The result
of the primaries is given in tabulat-
ed form, elsewhere.
The Ratification meeting brought
out a dozen or more earnest speakers,
Col Weldy opening, all pledging
hearty support to the ticket, state
and county and the platform, and
proposing to go into campaign to
win.
Leading Democrats from all parts
of the county were in attendance and
all brought in the cheering news that
that the Democrats were walked up
and that from this time on no work to
bring out the full vote would be left
undone.
The nomination of Governor Camp
bell seemed to be an inspiration that
gave life and hope and enthusiasm to
our cause and with the strongest
county ticket ever presented to the
people of H o.cki ing County.
Victory is assured. The SENTINEL
joins in the general joyful
feeling and pledges the best support
that such time and talent as can be
commanded to the platform of our
party, state and nation and to the
election of the tickets nominated.
The Campbells are coming and so
are the Democracy of Hooking
County.

The Democratic State Platform.

We present elsewhere the Declara
ton of Democratic principles pro
claimed by the State Convention, upon
which the battle in Ohio will be
fought and won. The declaration or
the Financial Question is the plat
form of the national convention adopt
ed at Chicago, and which the SENTI
MEL advocated, and for the past three
months kept standing in our paper,
as the platform of our choice upon
which the great victory of '92 had
been fought and the victory SO glori
ously won.
The declaration on the Monroe Doc.
trine is in the true American spirit,
and will meet the endorsement OF
every patriot, no matter to what
party he may belong. The denunci
alton Of the acts of the Republican
party, its mis-managment of state
affairs, the imbicility and corruption
of the last legislature, are probed be-
cause of stencil the riotirg party in
power haye inflicted upon the people.
Head the platform, study it, and
then submit its principles to the con-
sideration Of your intelligent, fair
minded Republican neighbor,
