Now that it has been definitely ascer.
tanned that the allied Democrats and
| Republicans who have revolted against
| Grantism in Connecticut, have, in the
| recent election elected their Governor by
a majority Of something like four thous-
and and have also secured control of the
| Legislature, it is well to look to the
ground occupied by the victorious side in
the contest. The Democratic and Lib
eral State Convention which nominated
| the successful ticket met on the 10th of
February. 1t selected for Governor,
Charles R. Ingersoll, democrat , for
1t. Governor, G. q. Sill, Liberal Re-

following (among other) resolutions:

its cause Is just, and that its final success
cannot be long DELAYED.

Resolved. That the influence of Federal
office-holders, from the President down
wards. in political affairs which are exclu-
sively under State jurisdiction, has already
led to results which should rouse thought
full attention and prompt action on the part
of voters. A Governor receiving no votes
from the people, foisted upon a State by
Presidential orders, the creation OF a State
Legislature by executive decree, and the |
destruction by Congress of the electoral
votes oftwo States, and parts of the electo-
raj vote of another State, are among the |
results of Capitalization and usur- |
patton of the Administration party.
