lists do not unite, majority Scott will be about
5000! The democrats here do not like to Connect

doing them great injustice. The gallant Gov. Seymour
companion-in-arms and enthusiastic admirer OF Gen
Pierce Is the idol Of the Connecticut democracy and
heads the electoral ticket He is host in himself and

racy OF his State, he did through The ranks OF the in

He tells the people of Connecticut that drawer Of
