VO OUh NAIL TUGbSNAGABE84o
In consequence Of the discOntnuance Of the stages
on several old mail routes in this county we have
found it somewhat nconvenent 70 penetrate the in
terror" with our papers and have for some months
been under the necessity OF sending them by mail to
large number Of subscribers who formerly receiv.
ed them by stage drivers at much less cost than the
postage. Some complaint has been made Of the OK.
ira expence ut which they are now obtained; and we
have concluded topay indirectly part ofthe postage
oursef rather our subscribers should feel that they
are paying too much for the paper. We therefore
hereby give notice that hereafter all mail subscribers
in the county whose papers sent in bundles, and
WHO STRICTLY IN ADVANCE, can have the Enquiries
for One Dollar year.
At the suggestion of some friends, we propose to-
print number of copies Of the Enquirer from
the LIST Of December 1919 to the lst of December
1874 embracing the next entire session Of Congress-,
and terminating month after the Presidential corr
test. when we expect to announce the triumphant Q.
lection Of HENEY CLAY. We ask our friends in the
several towns Of Lchled county to aid in extending
the circulation Of the paper during this interesting
and exciting period; for which they shall receive
our thanks and such compensation as they may re.
quire.
Several Of the most talented gentlemen n the
county have agreed to write for the Enquirer during
the year mentioned, md we hope with their assist,
ance to make our paper acceptable weekly visitor
to oil our readers. We expect moreover new fon:
oftype before the first of December, by which We
shall be able TO give a neater appearance to our lit
tie sheet, and also larger amount Of miscellaneous
reading.

tiers and Ellsworth. Hon. J. w. Huntington, Dennis
Kimberly and other Of the most distinguished men
in the State. 1t will one of the largest conventions
ever held In Connecticut. As it will be in g. ssion
only one day, the delegates from every town should
be on hand in good season.
3H-The Convention at Middletown on Wednesday
last inll and no, altogether harmonious assem-,
bage Of the several factions of the democracy Mr.
c. BPheps presidedand discharged the duties OF the
Chair with ''promptitude and impartiality."
Gov. Cleveland, 1t. Gov. Halnbrd, Mr. Phelps tho
Secretary Of State, and Mr.. Wells the Controller,
were nominated for reelection. Charles II, Pond
Of Milford, politician by trade, WINS nominated fup
Treasurer-Mr. White having declined the honor.
On the selection Of delegates TO the National Con.
ventlon spirited contest took place, some ncooun.
OF which we copy into preceding column from the
New-t1aven Courier As we predicted tho Van Blu,
rem men carried every thing to their liking.
0TThe recent triumph of the wings in Georgia,
Maryland, and Ohio, in addition to the success In NJ
Carolina and Tennessee, and the great gains in Penn
sylvania is pretty conclusive evidence of the rem.
walton Of the spirit Of the Wing party nlmos. broken
down by the death OF Gen. Harrison and the .rench,
cry Of John Tyler; and as the Presidential election
approaches, our friends In every State in the Onion
will rally with zeal and enthusiasm which will cast
the campaign Of 1910 into the shade. Indeed a, the
present time the name of Henry Clay and the pros.
poet OF his election, is inspiring confidence great.
or than was felt six mouths before the election of
Gen. Harrison The people have become satisfied
the measures OF the Wing party are such as the truo
interest OF the country require and that the way to
secure their adopo is by eecting to the Presder.
cy the man whose life has been spent in .ustoipi
them. We believe that against Mr.. Van Buren, or
MI Calhoun, or any other free trade, hard mon. v
man, Mr. Clay will carry three. iourths of the etec,c.
raj votes in the Union
0TThe Annual Elections take place in Michigan
and New-York next week, and in Massachusetts tho
week following. All these States are now in the
"a''o' VI '"e ueIioCEucys IalseIy 20 called. We
anticipate handsome wing gsins in New.York and
Michigan, and the entire redemption OF the old Bay
State. The other two States will wheel into line a,
the great contest. New.York especially is as sure
70! Clay as our own Connecticut.
NrDaniel Haincs ESQ. has been chosen Governor
Of New-Jersey by the legislature Of that state He
is loco foco of course. The Tyler candidate, j. s.
Green. obtained only l6 votes in caucus whereupcn
Capt Stockton swore vengeance upon his new and
treacherous allies.
VoTE OF PENSsrLvANIA.-The popular vote in
Pennsylvania in lS4l for Governor and 1913 for
Members OF Congress, was as follows:
1871 1913
Loco Foco 1856 lO77s5
Wing 1858 lO953t
Loco foco majority 2S,OOS SOL
Wing gam 1852. In the 10th, 18th and 22d dis
trlcts the wings run candidates tor congress this
year. and the vote for canal commissioners is taken.
The FIVE thousand majority would have been more
than overcome il the wings had organized in those
three districts.
