FROM HARrroRD.

Hartford, Oct. Sth, 1868.
The people Of this vicinity, men and
women, met in the college to hear an
address from Hon. C. v. Eskridge to
the Grant Club.
The address was able, and gentleman
ly in tone. 1t was worthy an officer Of
high rank in the State. I think this
precinct win give Mr.. Eskridge unan-
imous vote for Lieutenant Governor.
There is not one Democratic voter in
our precinct.
F. G. Hunt, Esq, followed Mr.. Esk-
ridges address with q brief review OF
the State and county candidates. One
of his tributes to Judge Watson was,
eff he is slow he is not reckless in the
discharge of his duties" In proof Of
the correctness of his decisions he sta
ted that in four years only four cases
had been reversed by the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Hunt advises all to vote fol
P. B. Plumb, Esq, and then to commit
no crimes, for they will be convicted il
Mr.. Plumb is prosecuting attorney.
Everything goes with will here fol
Grant and Colfax. The Club passed
resolutions thanking the speakers, re-
affirming the Republican platforms, and
pledging themselves to support the Re
publican nominations. The Club mum
bers over 10 members.

ems all the rumors in regard to his trip.
Whether he will introduce "the Grecian
