THE ENQUIRER.
LITCHFIELD, MARCH IS, 1880.

IThe following communication was designed for publication last week, but the gentleman to whom it forwarded not being n town, tt did not come into our possession tn season..
 FOR THE ENQUIRER.
 To the Electors othe l6 Senatorial District o Con-
 nectic~t, comprising the tO'Ons of NesU- -MiLtOrd,
 Warren, Washington, Ror6u'y, Bethtem Wood
 bury, Hioie'tosom, and PlymOuth.
 The name of HOMER BoARDMAN is so well known, and it Is believed we'll approved of candidate for Senator to the next Legislature from the 16ih Dis trict that it would to be unnecessary that he should be announced such through the medium of a newspaper, had not this been sanctioned by long usage. As the Senate is to be embodied for the first time under the new system of election by Dis trcts with increased number of Senators we deem it fortunate for .hc l6h District that the electors have presented them candidate who will go into that body with every prospect of maintaining that full share of influence, which weight of character, expe- rience in legislation, and uniform of political conduct will give him: to which may he added the high estimation in which he has been held as mani iested by the sur 'ges, only ofhs county, but ofe entire S,atc n electing hm by great majority to the same office under our former system.
 The questions often asked, is there to be op- posing candidate :? and fso, who? These questions we canno, answer. We only know that in of the towns in the District, select few the first Monday of January, and appointed Delegates, (who we suppose to be styled Delegates chosen by the Electors, that is, by many of the Electors permitted to be present for ninety out of hundred of the electors know they had no hand in t) These delegates understand to meet some time tn the month of March, nominate a Senator for the Dis trict. Why this little caucus should far disregard the mandate of it's Royal Sire, issued Hartford last spring, as to postpone it's meeting from January to March, we Know not. Should they take it upon them nominate candidate adverse the one designated by the voice of the people. we trust the Electors will set it right on the first Monday of April next.
 The politics of Mir. Boardman well known, and it s equally well known that he has never changed them. Vox PoPULI.

Maine.-E, appears that the difficulties lately pre- va,ing in the Senate of Maine likely to be ed or at enst that doubts very easily settled The Justices of the Supreme Court have, in reply to ,nterroga,ories from the Governor, given opinion, which decides that Mir.

We see way they get of the scrape without great deal of trouble unless they decide that the opinions being post facto, therefore

Thus the cable was cut, and the ship
