 Yesterdays New London Telegram says t'In determining as to the expediency of re- ' nominating Governor Andrews his-vote ir 1878, as compared with that of the other can I didates on the Republican State ticket, may ! properly be taken into consideration. In 1878 he received smaller vote than any o1 his associates on the ticket. He ran 656 be. hind Baker, Treasurer; 722 behind Gallup, Lieutenant Governor; 723 behind Howard, Comptroller; 758 behind Torrance, Secretary of State. On the other hand Mir. Hubbard, bu0 O0luOCLdblC Cduu1OdI0 1OE NONOIAO1, AO- ceived the largest vote of any candidate on the Democratic ticket leading the next high est by 767 and the lowest by 958. 'Is there any reason to suppose that Gov ernor Andrews would make better run this year than he did in 1878? And as the com- ing election bids fair to be close one is it not expedient for the Republicans to noml nate 8 candidate who can reasonably be ex- pected to poll his full party voter" At the Republican caucus in Waterbury MT. l.. l. Munson, of the State Central Com mittee, being called upon to express his views on the Governor question, said: ''We want State ticket of ability and responsibility, in. If the speaker could be convinced that the old ticket would poll the most votes he would go in for the nomination of Cover nor Andrews, but he doubted it. He be- ieved that there were other men in the State who could make better run than Governor Andrews No man had 8 higher re- gard for the Governor than he. He con sidered him able and honest, and that he had made good Governor. Personally he had nothing against Governor Andrews, but he didn't think he could draw any votes from the other side nor create any enthusiasm in
 his own party. In his opinion a new ticket would stand better chance of success than the old one. He favored change, but was
 committed for no man, and would go in heart and soul for Andrews if he was renom-
 mated"
