Tue Connecticut Republicans held their
State Convention a, lIartfort, on Wednes
day, and it was the most harmonious and
enthusiastic convention that has been held in
the Nutmeg State since the war. The Pres

Brandegee, APPLY described the situation, by
saying Mercy and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each
other; Hartford and New Haven are recon-
ciied. The two lions have lain down to-

tween them. The Republicans will sweep

A HECENr declaration of that representa-
tive independent, Charles Francis Adams,
Jr., in favor of the Republican National
ticket is highly important as sign of the
times. Mr. Adams believes that the National
prosperity will be best assisted by perpetu-
a.ing the policies represented by the admins
tration now in power at Washington. And
in this, he doubtless speaks for the indie
pondcnts of the country.

By the nomination of Hancock the Demo
cratic canvass has become pointIess and
illogical. During the eight years Of Gen.
Grants administration the Democrats con
stantly inveighed against the military spirit
which controlled the Government, and de-
clared that II successful soldier was, 10y the
very nature of his training and mode of
thought. highly unfit to make good Presi-
dent. Now they nominate Il man who is
nothing but Il soldier who never broke the
continuity of his military career, as Gen.
Grant did by Il long period of civil life. but
who has worn uniform ever since he went as
lad, to the West Point academy. Gen Han
cocks nomination might reasonably he
taken to mean that the Democrats want To
recant all they have said about the danger Of
the soldier in politics, of II military admins
tration and of "bayonct rule, and that
they desire TO assure the country that they
have changed their views about the impor-
lance of craftsmanship. and concluded that
brilliant corps commander makes the best
chief executive for the Nation. or course
this is not what the Democrats wish the
nomination to signify. They would like to

To the E.Iitor of the Free Press AMI Times:
As the good people of Vermont have little
opportunity to gain knowledge of Montana,
its people and its industries, will try to
tell them something about i. through your
valuable paper. This territory is somewhat
larger than the whole of New England and
New York, and it resembles the Green Noun
tain State in having considerable portion of
its surface set on edge But, as will be seen
by a glance at the map, Montana is not
wholly Il mountainous country, the eastern
part being nearly all trceless waste with few
hills, or, as they are called here, buttes, and
good only for grazing. The climate owing to
altitude and location, is cold and dry, the
thermometer sometimes ranging as low as
A below Zero for several days. This degree
of cold, however, does not seem as severe as
it would in countries of lower altitude. A
friend, in describing the climate, said that
there was nine months winter and three
months very late in the fall.
