Has not nearly the whole term of the Legislature |
been devoted to scrambline for Office? Have not the
members wasted their time, squandered the public |
treasure, and treated the wishes of the People with
contempt? Look out I! Messrs. Loco.Fccos! look |

Mr.. Editor-I perceive in some Of the loco.foco
prints that reference had from 1900 to 1916 things
then transacted, and which they attempt palm off
upon the present wing party-any person who is now
freeman well knows that from 1918 to 1923 Federal
ism in Connecticut became extinct that the contest
in 1929 was preference of men not of party. That
the candidates then up for the Presidency were both
Republicans one will attempt to deny; or if they !
deny the fact then according their definition Of the
term, there but II Democrats in this town the
time referred to, for that the number of votes Civ

all the rest must at that time have been Federass.
But are they willing to admit this Ask one of them

was always one. But in 1929 you opposed Mr.. Jack
son. did you not? Yes--but since that time have
changed my views. Now here it is. Previous to
1929 we voted together he has changed his prnci-
pies, and votes for what he then opposed and is still
democrat. l have not changed my principles, but
still vote then voted, but now, according to his
! doctrine, am o federalist. Now it is well known
that the old fashioned federal party is mixed in with
both the present parties. therefore propose to drop
former divisions and examine the account Us it now
stands by the following questions

The Wing Ticket.-From the Wing papers, as well
as from letters received from friends in every
ton of The State, learn that the nominations made
at the State Wing Convention, are popular and well
received by the people. We are satisfied that bet.

majesty ofther strength, and the days Of the Loco
toccs are numbered. The knees of the modern Bel.
shaZzars already smite against each other, and they
cry IN vain to the people to hold them up-the people
do not respond to the call.-Ezartford COurant.
