Hart ford and New Haven stand side by side for once, and the Republican ship is on even keel for the trip. Applause knew but little about Hobart B. Bigelow, but when learned that in the Democratic stronghold of New Haven he has such hold on the people there and won an election by such a vote, felt that our party required his services as standard bearer.
 I can heartily as . citizen of Hartford sub- scribe to his nomination. I believe if we put in Mr- Bigelow we can make up ticket which will sweep the State like whirlwind.

Righteousness and love had kissed each other. Hartford and New Haven had buried the hatchet. The two RepubE- can lions will lie down together and the Dem ocratic lamb in between. The Republicans of Connecticut have not only a splendid tick ct but splendid platform, and altogether they mean business in this campaign. Ap- plause. MT. Brandegee here announced that MT. Bulkeley would accept. [Great applause, The ticket would insure sue cess. There were two B's. It was double barrel ticket, and would sweep the State like two brooms. Let it be understood that man is not to be shelved in the future because he accepts the second place. There are times such as this when the party con- mands men to stand on picket in the rear or at the outposts The Republican party had claim upon every man in the party. No man has mortgage on the party but vice versa. The voice of the party is greater than the voice of locality. Its interests are higher than the claims of locality.
