The Republican State Convention. | A United Front-Great HarmOny-RinG- ing Speech by Bra ndegee-The Balance of the Ticket-The Resolutions-Thc 1 Presidential ElectOrs-An Enthusiastic Convention.
 The Republican State convention, held in ] Allyn Hall, Hartford, yesterday, resulted in l placing our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. H. B. Bigelow, Mayor of New Haven, at I the head of the ticket, with Wm. H. Bulkeiey, of Hartford, as candidate for Lieutenant l Governor, both gentlemen being nominated
 unanimously, great satisfaction and enthu- ! siasm prevailing. The remainder of the | ticket is given below. The convention was ] numerously attended, the large hall being
 filed Over 400 delegates were present and 1 many spectators. Chas. J. Cole, chairman of the State Central Committee, called the l convention to order. Hon. E. D. Day, of I Colchester, was the temporary presiding off, ! cer. In his address he congratulated the as- sembly on the suspicious circumstances under | which it met. The Republican party must | succeed to secure untrammelled rights of cit izens at the polls. The Democratic Congress has refused to make appropriations for Uni l ted States marshals who should see that there ] was fair vote in the solid South We should depIore sectional issues, but the Government
 should be in the hands of men who were its loyal friends The work of the Republican
 party is seen to day in the prosperity of the land, and its financial soundness. The pulse
 of national life beats soundly and vigorously,
 and this has been accomplished under the Re
 publican party. The spirit, unison and pur-
 pose of the party are for the highest interests
 of the country. It is the party of progress and intelligence. It must succeed, not for the sordid advantages of success, but for the good of the nation. The Democratic party is made up of the men who were opposed to the life of the National Government They have put up a nominee for President who served in the Union army. But the eyes of the nation are not diinmed that they cannot see the delusion. We should not slumber nor sleep victories are not won by inactivity. Realizing the issues at stake, the party will make constant and honorable efforts for sue cess A grander opportunity for success has not been had since the days of the rebellion. After the speech of MT. Day, which was re-
 ceived with rounds of applause, Edgar M.
 Warner, of Plainfeld and Henry H. Burn ham, of Lisbon, were elected temporary retaries.

 MT. Brandegee, on taking the chair, ad- dressed the convention as follows, and his speech at various points aroused the highest degree of enthusiasm
 On getting under weigh he paid glowing tribute to the record of the Republican par ty. It asked no oblivion for it's past. It did not fight behind mask. Our leader repre- sents the principles for which he fought, and of which he has been for fifteen years most conspicuous and eloquent defender in the front rank of debaters and statesmen It was called to great task, but was equal to the emergency. He reviewed the work of the party and the triumphs it had accom- plished beginning with the herculean task which came to it with great war just break ing out and the nation robbed of it's means of defense. It had done it's brilliant work un- selishly, disinterestedly.
 Never since governments instituted among men was greater task more unselfishly, more dis interestedy, more triumphantly accomplished. And now that party relies for public confidence upon great public services rendered upon perils eer gencies endured upon obstacles almost insuperabIe overcome upon it's patriotic sacrifices and it's mag n1hcent successes upon Union saved upon Con gt1tutiOn maintained Ina
