THE ENQUIRER.
LlTCHFIELD, MARCH IA, 1899.

The Wing County COnUentiOn which assembled in
this village on Thursday last was the most harmonious
and best conducted Of any that we have ever witness
sed. 1t Yves composed mainly Of the bone and sinew
Of the countryside Woodworking agricutursts. man.
nfacturers, and mechanics-those who are most deep
ly interested in uphoIdng the institutions Of the coun
try in their purity and in giving efficiency to our rep
resentaton in Congress, as well native state
The members attending the Convention represented
every to,cn in the county-from most of them this rep
resentaon was full--and would have been from 9TH
ers but for mistake in supposng that towns were to
send delegates to double the number of members in
the legislature instead of four from each town. The
almost unanimous voice Of the Convention on the first
ballot for Truman Smith for Congress showed that he
was just the man which the people called for at the
present juncture of our affairs. But-as was well re-
marked by Mr. John Boyd on that occasion-it must
not be supposed that because this Convention
unanimous in their expression of popular opinion-it
be supposed that because candidate is so
much better qualified for the station he s nominated
to occupy than his opponent that therefore exertion
must cease. No, no-here is our danger. Every bo-
dy acknowledges the superior fitness Of our candidate
but are our enemies less active on this account? p
Every wing must go work, and work diligently until
the first Monday of April that their majority of last
year may not merely hold good, but be increased. 1t
can be done. Freemen of Lch6ed county! shall it
not be done

We learn from the New York papers that John C.
Calhoun has been appointed by the President as the
Special Ambassador to England to negotiate respect
ing the Maine boundary, and that he will shortly de-
part from Norfolk in the fngate Constitution. This
we consider as an unfortunate appointment. Mr.. c.
has for many years been known particularly hostile
to New. England and New England interests and
therefore is unfit for the station. Why if the Pres.
dent must have gone out Of New-England for the Sc
lection did he not take Gov. Marcy of New-York, or
Mr.. Buchanan of Pennsy lvana, or some such man !?
The election for Governor, Members Of Congress,
&c. in NeD- Hampshire took place las: Tuesday
There may be considerable effort made by the wings
to carry the state but if any Of brethren calculate
upon their succeeding, imagine they will be great
" deceived We have no expectation that for some
years to come sufficient light will be allowed to break
in upon that benghted region 10 change the character
of its vote. No hope for her publication this year!
John M. Niles told his followers in his letter Of in
struction last spring, that they must find fault with
the doings of the Legislature. This declaration was
made long before that body came together. What
are the people to think Of the honesty Of man that
would make such a suggestion, or give such advice
before there was the least to believe there
would be any thing to find fault about2 What an
opinion must he have of the intelligence and honesty
of the freemen Of Connecticut 10 suppose that if he
and his abect followers should set up clamor about
the dOings Of the Legislature, whether right wrong
they would abandon their principles; think he will
find on the first Monday Of April, that he has reckon
ed without his host and that the freemen Of Connect
lieut. are not such fools as he takes them to be-.
