Probably the very best channel to initiate with cur

the organization known the ''greenback party"

claimed by some might be easily upset If large vote
can be brought out by the greenback Nobody

this vote will run up Monday II IL should go
beyond 600 then Governor Ingerson will have look

small towns that have visited seem 10 be the pr:nc

becomes weakened by tho deserton
THE TEMPERANCE ELEMENT.
Republicans claim that tho temperance vote will not
amount TO more than 1900 Last year some Q 700
votes were cast This is another CLEAN of sunshine
FOR the Robinson ticket Temperance men in Connec-
lieut. a class, republicans and those who do
throw away their votes upon Henry d. Smith will
record them for Henry G. Robinson.
Several assigned for this falling of In the
temperance vote prominent one the recent death
OF Mr. James Alexander MOwatt the editor OF a prohibi-
ton paper in this city. Mr. Mowatt n man OF
siderable ability, and advocated his eoquently
with tongue and pen. He lived in Connecticut only
year but during that time his efforts produced good
for the which be espoused with such manly
vgor. Now that he is gone the temperance men have
no prominent leader around whom they might rally at
the polls aud large falling of in the vote is necessarily
prophcsied.
The verbage and principles announced as the plat
forms OF both parties do not differ essentially in any
one particular on the financial question the republic
say that their party issued the greenbacks undor
the pressure OF temporary necessity, TO support the
national government against treason and rebellion and
is pledged to redeem them and make them good

schools and against all sectional appropriations OF
course the usual plank appears against corruption in

Tue democrats in their pronunciamento contend
with their opponents that the only currency known

clap-trap to be found in such resolutions

similar notices ana war cres. II measures are not

what the present political outlook indicates u is not
difficult TO prophesy correctly on whose banner VIC

The coming election is the last that VIII be held in
this state the Spring. Tho terms Of Office OF OIL

James Gallagher. OF New Haven. who has been Chair
Of the State Committee and a prominent Con-
necticut politician for several years, they tho
idea OF possible chance of defeat They place the
grecnback low as 300 This Is really tho only

The town or Hartford, being now the State capital
beyond shadow OF controversy, is the real hcad-
