If THE expression of Mr.. Cleve-
lands judgment and personal in
clination" against fourth nom
ination had been uttered prior to
the Chicago convention. whose nomi-

support of great and powerful party,
and not been delayed until the profered
nomination of q self-elected assemblsge
of plutocrats and their paid agents,
who cannot carry a single electoral
district in any one Of the forty-6ve
States, it is more than likely that Mr.,
Bryan would not be the democratic
Presidential leader and that the feeling
in favor of the resumption OF silver
coinage, to which Mr.. Cleveland ia es'
pecially opposed, would be by nc means
as strong as it is in the democratic

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 4. 1896.

THE GOLD boilers call themselves
"Jeffersouian democrats" and say the
Southern and Western farmers, "ho'
with few exceptions, are all for the re-
sumption of silver coinage, are ei'ner
fools or anarchists. But Mr.. Jefferson
said:
"Tbose who labor in the earth are
the chosen people of God, if He ever
had chosen people, whose hearts be
has made His peculiar deposit for sub
stantial and genuine virtue.
Corruption of morals in the mass OF
cultivators is phenomenon OF which
no age nor nation has furnished an e1-
ample. Corruption is the
mark SET on those who, not looking up
TO Heaven. to their own soil and in
dustrv. as does the husbandman, for
their subsistence, depend for it on cas-
ualries and caprice Of customers. =
Generally speaking, the proportion
which the aggregate of the other classes
OF citizens bears in any State to that OF
its husbandmer, is the proportion OF liz
unsound, to its healthy parts, and is a
good enough barometer whereby to
measure its degree of corruption"
Those who prate OF their Jetfersonlan
opinions, and at the same time advocate
the election OF a man opposed to the
poor peoples money, in favor of high
taxes on the necessaries of life, OF the
exemption OF the rich from taxation and
OF giving all the offices OF the govern
ment to a small privileged class, evoke
the com miseration of their friends.

SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.

As stated in the GAZETTE of that
date, John NJ. Palmer, Of Illinois, and
Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky,
were nominated at Indianapolis yester-
day by the sound money democratic
convention for president and vice pres
ident on platform which repudiates
doctrines enunciated by the Chicago
convention; endorses President Cleve-
land and his administration in glowing
terms; declares for the gold standard,
tariff for revenue only, liberal shipping
laws, currency reform, civil service
and economy in public expenditures.
When the nominations for president
were called for it was apparent that
Palmer would be nominated over his
protest, as the opposition to Bragg had
concentrated upon him. These two
names were the only ones presented to
the convention. The vote stood Pal.
mer 1871, Bragg 1241. Virginia voted
for Palmer. The nomination OF Gen.
Buckner for vice president was by ac'
clamation.
After the convention had adjourned
Senator Palmer said he would accept.
He had never yet failed to respond to
the call of duty, he said, and he could
not do so now with such cause at
stake.
Before adjourning the convention
took the precaution of clothing its ex-
ecutive committee with full power to
take all proper steps to secure recogni-
ton for the ticket in States where the
Australian ballot law or other legisla-
ton might interpose obstacles to the
recognition of two democratic tickets,
each claiming to be regular. This diff
6culty is anticipated in Ohio and some
other States in the accepted battle
ground of the middle west.
The new national committee assem-
bled shortly after adjournment and MIR.
w. D. Bynum was elected chairman.
An executive committee of nine, with
Mr.. Bynum as chairman, was appoint
ed to manage the campaign. Head
quarters will be at Chicago, with q
branch in New York.
The Palmer and Buckner notification
meeting will probably be held in the
Auditorium, at Louisville, on the 18th
or 18th instant.
President Cleveland, when seen at
Buzzards Bay last night relative to the
nomination of Senator Palmer, declined
to be interviewed regarding the action
o., the convention. Two members OF
President Cleveland's cabinet-Secre-
torv Carlisle AM. Secretary Francis
last night expressed themselves in
strong complimentary terms CT tne
nominations of Messrs. Palmer ana
Buckner by the Indianapolis conven-
ton and third member of the cabinet
Secretary Lamont-while DECLINING
to be interviewed, incidentally remark
ed as to the personality of the nomi.
nees that "they are good democrats"
These are the only members OF the cab
met in Washington at present.

Palmer, of Illinois, for President and
Mr.. Buckner, of Kentucky, for Vice

sixteen thousand men and immense
stores of provisions, arms and anmu'

the corner of Maltby avenue and Yale Avenue. John Fisher, who is with Greenwood, the Chapel street shoe merchant is about erecting a house at the southwest corner of Maltby avenue and Yale avenue. Two fine houses have just been built by MT. Edward M
 Clark, the owner of the tract, which comprises sixty acres, and through whose enterprise this slightly territory has been improved and mile and a half of streets laid out and graded. These are only a few of the new houses in this section.
 The abolition of the Derby turnpike as a toll road, which it was supposed would, owing to the decision of the courts on the subject, soon be accom- plished, still hangs fire and the turn pike is still owned and controlled by the Derby Turnpike company. Town Counsel Goodhart says, however, that the difficulties i'll the way will soon be adjusted. It will be remembered that the court submitted the case to a com mittee who heard the arguments pro and con as to the conversion of the turnpike into a free road, and the amounts to be assessed against the va rious towns directly interested in hav- ing this main highway between New Haven on the one side and the cities of Derby and AnSonia on the other, a free highway Some of the towns have kicked as to the size of the amounts assessed against them, but this mat ter is in process of adjustment, and this turnpike, the last of the Connecticut turnpikes, will soon be a free highway. The necessity of a new bridge on Derby avenue over West river in place of the present wooden structure is more and more apparent, this highway being the only one crossing West river not supplied with a modern and strong bridge, all the rest having iron bridges of up to date construction. The Derby avenue bridge is constantly complained of as being too narrow and aatiquated for a city like New Haven to have over an important highway, and the Fair Haven and Westville electric rail- road company would ere this have had it's rails laid to the gates of Yale field had a, suitable and enduring bridge been built As it is the company will at an early day equip this end of this branch of it's road with the heavy rails with which nearly all the rest of the road is now equipped. The cars at present stop at the Derby avenue bridge. With new and strong bridge in place of the present shaky one the tracks will be extended and the cars will be run direct to the gates of Yale field, which will be appreciated by the multitude who attend the ball games and other athletic sports at Yale field. The railroad company is now equipping it's Westville tracks beyond the old car barns with the heavy rails from the barns to the end of the line.

OHIO REPUBLICAN BY 100000.
So Predicts Ex-secretary Charles Eos

So Predicts Ex-Secretary Charles Fos-
 Der of the United States Treasury.
 New York, Sept 11.--senator Quay received many callers at republican na- tionaI headquarters to-day. One ot then, was Charles Foster, ex-secretary Vof the treasury, who gave his views on the situation as follows:
 "I am prepared to concede to MT. Bryan just two states in the north Nevada and Colorado. All along the border I believe McKinely has much better chances than Bryan. I mean by that in Maryland, Virginia, West Vir- ginia, and Kentucky. I would even place North Carolina in that list also. AS for those western states that the Bryanites claim so persistently, l think the returns will show very grievous miscalculatio on their part. There IS more wool than silver in Utah and more cattle than silver in Wyoming. The railroad men in those states more over are for Mckinley. Montana and Idaho and the Dakotas are by no means sure for silver, although gener- ally so counted. The silver sentiment among the people who are not directly and personally interested in silver pro- duo ton is largely sympathetic and will not control their votes as against their own interests. When the returns come in. am confident that my estimate of the strength of Bryanism will be found to be not far out of the way. As for Ohio the majority for Mckinley I hon. estly believe will run from 100000 up. .'

AN INTERESTING EVENT.
Freelove Edwin Stowe Chapter D. A.
 R, of Milford, to Hold an Anniversary

Freelove Edwin Stowe Chapter, D A.
 R. of Milford, to Hold an Anniversary
 Celebration.
 At the First Congregational church in Milford will occur next Saturday an event of considerable interest, an ami versary celebration by the Freelove Edwin Stowe chaper, Daughters of the American Revolution. A large gather ing is expected, and many persons of prominence will probably be present. The program is not yet fully prepared, but Rev. Mir. Morse, pastor of the First Congregational church of Milford, will speak. A banquet will be given and the occasion promises to be in every respect the most interesting one of the year in Milford. Freelove Baldwin Stowe, for whom the chapter of D. A. R. of Milford is named, was the wife of Captain Stephen Stowe, who lost his life in caring for American prisoners on board the British prison ships. Fever and other contagious diseases Were rife aboard the prison ship and Captain Stowe, while engaged in as sisting the prisoners contracted dis ease and died. A monument has been erected to hls memory in Milford.
