are essential to the good name of our Republic and
to the prosperity of the cOuntry and we invite all
voters who favor this healing policy, and who
are opposed to the politicians, out OF Congress,
who strive to keep alive animosties between differ
ent sections of the Union, to act with the Demo-
cratic party in the coming election; and to those
workingmen whose right tc suffrage has been sus-
tanned by that party IN great conflicts when their
rights were assailed; to all labOrers, OF whom IN
every vieissitude in cOuntrys history the Dem
Ocracy have been unfnching advocates and friends,
we extend the cordial utilization and respect
that have distinguished our party from the days OF
Jefferson to the present time.

and we feel that in again eeyating him TO the
Executive chair Connecticut will consult her best
interests and her good records and to her electors
we once more present his name, confident that no
better candidate can be selected by any party, and
no ADLER or nober citizen can be placed in the first
office of the State In the capabilities and faithful
ness of the other gentlemen who are placed upon
the ticket with Governor Hubbard as candidates
for offices of trust we have implicit confidence and
recommend them to the sutfrages Of our fellow
citizens.
