A Washington telegram, speaking of the
presidential situation, says that the YER
moat delegation is "unplcdged and indie
"pcndent," but that Judge Poland, who is
the most widely known man of the delega-
ton, sis counted by many for Senator
Conkling." 1t is true that the Vermont
delegation is "unpledged and indepen-
dent" but Judge Poland's position is en-
tirely and utterly myrepresented. We pre-
sumo that we violate no confidence, when
we say, of our own knowledge, that Judge
Poland is not for Senator Conkllng, Sena-
tor Morton, nor, yet, for Mr.. Blaine. He
is fully up with the advanced sentiment of
the republican party, and, with the honest
masses of the party, demands the nomina-
ton of man whose very name shall be a
platform of itself. For that man he will
labor and vote, and we trus; that man, the
foremost man of the times, will be the next
president of the United States.

An official Ct one of the railroad center

old man for railroad pass to Grand Rap

He looked as if he had entered the town

up in the corner than he briskly inquired
'Are you the free-pass man ?"

Connecticut Is not in the " favoritc son .

Connecticut Is not in the " favoritc son y
business this year. She leaves that to New
York, and Pennsylvania, and Indiana. In
some respects, Connecticut Is unfortunate
in having two sons Of commanding talents
aud conspicuous integrity, each with his
ardent supporters, and both high in the
confidence of the republican party and
county. Joseph r. Hawley and Marshall
Jewell are known and respected every
where, aud 1t is natural that there should
be some rivally among their friends in
pressing their claims for higher positions.
This year, however, neither are aspirants
for promotion both sink self for country,
and each is laboring for the nomination of
Benjamin II. Bristow for the presidency.
1t is stated, on authority, that the vote OF
Connecticut will be given solid for Benja-
min II. Bristow at Cincinnati.
