| THE GROUND SWELL N coHSECrtctT
| The discontinued Republicans Of Connecticut
are not Office hunters or political schemcrs. They
are sedate. thinking, business men, who desire
only faithful economical administration of the
| Government. They voted according TO their
| party affiliations at the late election, because
there no reason TO complain Of the State Ad-
ministratlon, and nothing to gain by change
National politics did not enter into the canvass
at all. The Presidential succession was not made

invoked no aid from the Administration except
