JAMES L. ENGLISH,
the Democratic candidate, IL q man more generally
known throughout the country than Gov. Jewell
He is also man Of wealth, character and standing
and above reproach in all his private and domestic
relations. He may. however, be termed the Moses
Of the Connecticut Democracy. For ten years past
through all the delicate situations In which his party
nave found themselves thrown, In all their emergen-
tes and troubles, English has been their main re-
lance and by his own personal popularity, his hon
set and upright course aud lis INDEPENDENCE OF
.ncent traditions, has kept the organization intact
and conducted them 10 all the victories they have
achieved. When, in is0O, the party in Connecticut
