Our Candidates.

The Union State Convention, of which an account is given in another column. was enc of the largest and most harmonious that we ever attended. The candidates that were there nominated upon our State ticket, are all men of undoubted patriotism and rare ability. E GEN. JOSEPH R HAwLEY, whose name stands at the head sf the ticket, is nsO candidate in the fullest sense of the word. Though he has labored with his voice and and his pen, for
 the support of the Republican party for years he has never asked or received single favor in return. Before the war, in his faithful ef- forts to promote the Republican cause, he be- came very generally and fayorabls known. throughout the State. When the first gun was fired upon Fort Sumter hs forsook his business, bid adieu to his family, and enlisted as private for the war. He s0as the first man ,vho volunteered from tkis State to put doscn the Rebellion. He was elected captain of his com of Bull Run by his ,ealmness and bravery. Since then he has risen, by rapid and well earned promotion, to be Major General of vol unteers. His fame now, as soldier and a patriot, is world wide; and Connecticut free men next spring will proclaim him, who among them was first in war; as as first in, peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
 OF W1NoHEsrER, of New Haven is well known as one of the Presidential electors for the State in the year 1864, when he had the privilege of voting for the lamented President Lincoln. He is man of great energy and dignity of character. of large 'liberality, of unfinching devotion to principle, of clear and strong intellect, of abundant means and vide spread influence. # sas4 iS
 LEvERErr PHASE, of Somers is a merchant of great ability and influence. He has had ex perience in the Legislature, and has served with great fide lity and success upon the Union State Committee, where he distinguished him. self for his administrative ability:
 :, HEHRrG TAINToR, of Hampton is practi- cal businsss man, his long experience as ; banker especially qualifying him for the posi- tion to which he is nominated Heis man of abundant means, which will enable him to devote himself faithfully to the duties of the office, and his financial ability and stirling in tegrity are undisputable. si ass 7 ssis4s
 The name of ROBBINS BATTELL is house. hold word in this section of the State. and his many qualifications for the office of Comptrol- Ter are we'll known to all our readers. His elevation to this office of great trust and res possibility will be sure guarantee against all extrava ganee or dishonesty in it's admins tration.
 We have no hesitancy in saying that this is the strongest ticket that has been nominated in several years, and its election is sure, if patriotic men rally to its support.
