Our State Ticket.
What Some Of the Newspapers Think

About It.
 [From the New York Evening Post.l
 The Connecticut Republicans yesterday nominated ticket with as many clements of strength and as wise harmony of interests and influence could possibly have been found Local popularity and standing are always potential points in Connecticut poll tics and nowhere do they tell more than in the large cities of the State In the choice of Messrs. Bigelow and Bulkeley there is a singularly effective combination of the local popularity which each enjoys at the two cen ters of population in the State, where hither- to the largest Democratic majorities have been boiled.
 From the Meriden Republican,
 It is evident that all locality and other is- sues have been overlooked in the selection of candidates, and that the convention Twas unanimous in considering what was for the best good of the party, without regard to any fayorite son of any section, and the ticket will thoroughly unite all sections of the party. It will be pleasant augury for the success Of the ticket to see Hartford and New Haven working heartily and unitedly for the cause, and it shows that the importance of carrying Connecticut for the Republicans was realized on all sides.
 From the Springfield Union.l
 The State ticket nominated by the Connec- ticut Republicans at Hartford, Wednesday, is an exceptionally strong one. and the con vention did it's work so wisely and well that the election of the State and electoral tickets put in nomination can safely be counted on.
 [From the Waterbury American.J
 The most convincing evidence that the convention did it's work well is the fact that harmony is established and that the work is generally approved. The Republicans will make united and enthusiastic struggle to carry the State, and the only way the Demo- crats can beat them is to do better. The re- suit is sufficiently doubtful to make little things count, and harmony and money are not the only things to be considered.
 From the New London Telegram.l
 The conclusion reached by the convention in making up the State ticket will receive the general and hearty indorsement of the party. There will not be a dissenting voice. The unanimous verdict of the Republicans of Connecticut will be that stronger or moro judicious ticket could not have been placed in the field.
 From the Hartford Post.l
 It is a ticket which will frighten the Demo- cratic party, and we shall no doubt hear the lamentations of that party in it's convention next week in open admissions such as Senator Eaton is reported to have uttered that ''the Republicans are dangerously confident" It is a ticket which will invite ex-Governor Hub bard to partake of funeral baked meats" if he dares to accept the nomination, and the most promising prediction of the time is that he will be forced out of the field and that a strong effort will be made to start an English boom again in the hope of stemming the tide. It is a ticket which is going to win, gentle men, and in the language of the street, ''Don't you forget it '"
 tFrom the Norwich Bulletin.l
 Tho frct inorrecciO,o 1rbiob oya wil1 dnrira from the State ticket nominated yesterday is that it possesses peculiar strength and that impression will grow as the campaign ad- vances The two leading persons on it come from the two chief cities of Connecticut and each one possesses an exceptional popularity and acknowledged fitness for office The other gentlemen, too, are well known, not only in their respective localities but also throughout the State and have qualities which strongly commend them to voters. An unusual degree of enthusiasm and har- mony characterized the convention, too and it is safe to say that at no time for years have the Republicans of Connecticut been so thor oughly united and inspired to carry the cam paign to a successful issue
 (From the Bridgeport standard.l
 The work of the Republicans of Connecti- cut at Hartford was such as will receive ap- probation from their friends throughout the entire State and country. The harmony, the good feeling, the enthusiasm, the determina- ton, the disposition to concede personal pre- ferences to the general good, in short all the clements which go to make up a thoroughly united and successful convention were exhibi- the result was eminently satisfactory and encouraging. If with such ticket, af- ter such @ convention and with so good a cause the Republicans of this State can not win the coming fight, then there is something radically at fault with them personally in their relations with State and national poli- tics, and they have themselves to blame. Connecticut should no longer be doubtful State.
 [From the Hartford Courant.I
 The ticket nominated is of exceptional strength and means success for both the State and the national ticket. While the present Executive and other well-qualiied gentlemen had warm advocates, their claims were press ed without bitterness and with the unanimous of acquiescing in the will of the convention. There was feeling, which ap- preached anxiety, to sacrifice all personal in the desire for harmony and the success of the cause. And when the re- suit was known the friends of all the candi- dates gave their hearty acqulescence
 A new ticket is nominated, but in taking this action the convention had no intention of expressing dissatisfaction with the present state of affairs. On the contrary their ad- received, as it deserved, hearty A change was decided upon because the convention evidently desired to unite the Republicans of the two chief cities, as well as those of the rest of the State, in hearty cooperation for the success of the party in November. The emergency requir- ed the strongest possible ticket, the conven- 5ion exercised it's best judgment in its forma- jon, and all factions united in endorsing the decision. This was shown in this city where General Bulkeley, without any personal so- icitation on his part, had many friends who were urging his nomination for Governor. He gracefully accepted the success of his New Haven competitor and adds strength to the ticket by accepting the second place.
