Charles Il. Ingersoll, and William II. Barnum,
excepting
THE HON. Il. D. HUBBARD,

This is the gentleman whom tho Springfield

election to the Senate. ue is lawyer, most

the same body, from whom AIr. Eaton dilfers in
only two respects: in boing q man Of much

Mr. Eaton is tho embodiment of tho sterootypod
inyectivo which finds place In tho Democratic
platforms; and, II ho should happen to be sont

Connecticut. II tho Democrats, then, should
come out Of this campaign strong beyond quoa-

thoy should not hayo yoteB enough for him, thoy

compromise should ho necessary, either among
themselves or with bolt from tho Republicans,
it would bo IN favor OF Mr. Hubbard.
