NEW YORK, February 81.
The political contest golDg on with our next
door neighbor, Connecticut, Is doubly inter.
esting to US, because there is really prospect
of Democratic success. How this should
come around can be easily explained. The
November election in Connecticut went as 1t
did every where else, by default. Grant had
over four thousand majority. The Sale.
however. is really very close. A few hundred
votes either way ls the largest majority 10
strongly contested election. Under these cir
crmstances the Republicans could not afford
to quarrel among themselves. But they have
done so.
The trouble dates back to the senatorial con-
test OF last year. The Republican legislative
caucus nominated the Ring candidate, General
Hawley, to succeed Senator Ferry. Certain
friends of Ferry refused to be oound oy tne
action of the caucus. The Democrats ahrewd-
ly seeing chance to drive q wedge Into the
Republican party In Connecticut, ccquetted
with the Ferry boilers, and when the election
came abandoned their own candidate, Cover
nor English, and voed ior Senator Ferry,
thus securing his election.
General Hswley felt very sore over his de-
feat and his friends reglt'ered an oath with
heaven to be avenged. You must know thai
the jealousy and rivalry between Hartford and
New Haven Is very great. 1t ls something
like the old-time absurd feeling between up
country and low country In Carolina. HaWley

said to be the head OF The Hartford clique.
The blow which destroyed bis senatorial hopes
came from New Haven. 1t Was upon The
New Haven Republicans that retaliation was
to be visited. AS the present canvass Ass, ap, c
preached, Governor Jewel announced tnat ne
would not % candidate Tor renomioafion.
New Haven Immediately entered the field
with one OF her iavorite clLizens, Mr.. Harri-
Ron. He would undoubtedly have received
the nomination 10 the Republican State Con-
vention, If 1t had not been for the machina-
tions OF the Hartford clique. This was their
coveted opportunity for revenge. They check
mated with an Eastern man, Mr.. Haven. OF
New London, and taking the Hartford and
Eastern strength into the convention, in
consolidated shape, succeeded 10 nominating
him.
The New Haven Republicans were greatly
enraged. Hundreds of them declared that
they would not support the ticket Some
will not 60 20 the polls; others will vote for
the Democratic candidates. AS an ilIus!ra-
neither OF the two daily Republican papers 10
New Haven have put Mr.. Hsven's name at
the head of their columns. The defeated
candidate, Mr.. Harrison, published card the
day after the convention adjourned, thank
Ing his friends, and particularly his Demo-
cratic friends, for their sympathy.
1t was amid such circumstances that the
Democratic State Convention met on Wednes-
day last. Our smart Yankee brethren did
cIrcu instances. They nominated the most
popular New Haven man in the Demo-
cratic ranks for Governor. Charles R.

more than enough 10 insure the State. For
Lieutenant Governor, they nominated Hart
ford Liberal Republican, and the remainder
of the State ticket was divided between The
D .mocrats and Liberals. Mr.. Haven, the
regular Republican candidate, Ia q respectable
person OF not much force. He Is goUdy sort
of a man and addresses Snnday-schools. Un-
fortunately for him, persons who mix their
plely and politics are not In the best odor ut
present. SO Mr.. Haven's reapectablllty will
not help him much. Mr.. Ingersoll Is q gentle
man OF eQnal social standing. I learn from
