Gov. James f. English Of Connecticut.


At no time in the history of this com
try has the prudent and wise selection OF
a candidate for the Presidency, been ms
important as the present Many names
are suggested, and il would indeed be
strange, if no objection could be urged
against them. The evident design of the
Democratic leaders, Is to avoid a militia
~ man. If one Of the soldiers of the
army were TO be selected, none could
compete for the honor with General Han
cock. Among civilians, the most promi
ncnt names, are Pcndleton of Ohio, j. q.
Adams of Mass, Noorhics of Indiana,
Seymour of New York. To these gen
tlemcn few, if any, objections can be
presented. They are able men, and men
whose proud history deGcs criticism.
The name that heads this article, we
have not heard mentioned in connection
with the Presidential office, and yet, we
know of no man whose past history and
services give him a stronger claim on the
Democracy. Gov. English has been 4
Democrat from birth, education and prn-
ciplc; always conservative in his views.
Springing from the peoplc-he is en-
phatically man of the people. lie
knows their wants, their feelings, preiu-
dices, passions and sympathics, and his
unsweWing devotion to them and their
best interests, gives ample assurance that
if entrusted with the standard in the can
yass of 1868, the old Democratic flag,
would never be allowed to trail in the
dust. The political contest before us is
to be one Of principle, and the people de
mand of the Democracy q man who is Of
them, and IN whom all confidence can be
placed, Being personally acquainted
with Gov. English we speak of him what
we know, and, if he be chosen to be the
banner bearer i'll the coming contest. he
will command the cheerful and hearty
support Of the masses Of people. They
will feel that in him they do battle for 3
true and tried Democrat, an honest and
upright man.
While we expect to battle for the nomi
nee, whoever he may be, we would be
oyerjoyed to find the name of Gov JAS.
f. ENGLISH, at the head Of the ticket.
We feel that none can be found who will
combine as many good and commendable
features, as he does. He is no political
hack, whose past public life is checkcred
with good and evil, but is a new man and
presents to the world record of solid
good; record Of which no man can say
ought in rcproof
II is high time the democratic press
were Speaking CUT on this subject. Let
us hear from them
