ItOr in the city, who voted for Cleveland
called upon 20 address the asSemblage as
a representative from a sO-called doubt
ful State.
The speaker said the imputatiOn that
Connecticut was a doubtful State had now
been satisfactorily answered, and the
question as 10 what her attitude had been
II this great struggle should now 0e set

liz
Democratic party, and had been met Dy
successive defeats. which failed, how
ever. to conquer their faith in the justice
Of the principles which the party enunci-
ated. and their determination to effect
change in the administration OF the
government. Now that they assisted TO
achieve the great victory. their prayer
was. God grant that the change may be

prepared not only to legally elect
Democratic President, but, as suggested
10y Mr.. Merrick, % see him seated in the
executive chair peaceahly if they could,
but fOTcIbly if they must. He con-
cluded bv stating that a Democratic de-
feat for the North meant the defeat CT the
candidates. while in the South it was
political death 10 the whole people.
Hence, said he, Il feel today as did Capt.
Wheaton, 'enthused all Over."
