The Plot.

GlOm the Hartford CoC-ant.
Connecticut has a national fight on hand.
The only point of struggle is for the United
States senatorship. The national Democrat
ic managers have resolved to get complete
possession of the government if possible.
They have the executive and the lower house;
it is only necessary to change three or four
members of the United States Senate to give
them control of Cong ress. To this end it is
absolutely necessary to win Senator in the
State of Connecticut.
The decree has therefore gone forth that
Democrat is to be returned in the place of
Senator Hawley at any sacrifice. Besides
the official Democratic leaders, there are
Democrats who have private ends to serve by
using the government, who are spending
money to effect this change. We are raising
no false alarm and making no campaign cry.
We speak of what we know when we say
that money is raised and being raised outside
the State in order to debauch the State and
elect Democratic legislature. The men en-
gagged in this do not care a straw for State
politics or for State honor OF State interests.
Their aim is not only to change the Republi-
can majority in the Senate, but it is to lessen
the influence of New England in national af-
fairs. What would not these schemers (who
are half spectators and half politicians) give
to get rid of Senator Edmundsa They at
tack the Senator from Connecticut not only
because he is Republican,, but because he
is steady and unmovable representative of
New England ideas and interests.
In order to defeat his reelection or the
election of any sound Republican in his
place, they propose to sacrifice everything
else in the present State canvass. In order
to gain members of the legislature in any
town they will sacrifice anything else on the
ticket. This is the plan distinctly laid out
Morning journal and courier., 1886-09-29
YESTERDAYS CONVENTION.

The Democratic convention which met in
the New Haven Opera House yesterday was
a more peaceful affair than Democratic con-
ventions are apt to be. New Haven Demo
Gratis made about all the stir there was, and
they were not allowed to make much. "Bus-
mess" was the watchword.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland was made
in a way which must be gratifying to him.
After appearing to decline the honor, it has
been apparently forced upon him. The
whole performance is singular one. AS
everybody knows, Mr.. Cleveland was nom
mated only because it was believed he could
catch s'the labor vote.'' Last winter in the
legislature he posed the 'friend of the
he is, made the most of his opportunities in
that line. His nomination is the most ridic-
ulous thing the Democrats of Connecticut
have accomplished for a long time. The Re
publicans have every reason to be pleased
with it. They have been afraid that some
thing else would be done-something that
would be less absurd and more respectable.
The outlook for the election of the Republi-
can ticket has much improved since yester-
day morning. There are many Democrats
who will not vote for Edward Spicer Cleve-
land.
The head of the ticket is its worst part.
Colonel E. E. Bradley, the nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor, is a popular man. Bryan
F. Mahan, the nominee for Secretary of
State, is pushing young politician, who did
not wait for the Office to seek him, as Messrs.
Cleveland and Bradley apparently did. But
the tail of the ticket will find it very hard to
wag the head.
The platform is neither as long or as queer
as Democratic platforms in this State have
usually been. It endorses Cleveland and
approves of revenue revision" and a secret
ballot. The most notable parts of it are
those in which the labor question and the
liquor question are disposed of. The declar-
alton concerning the labor question is very
careful one. The most crafty part of it is,
perhaps, that which reads follows: "We
believe in giving the true friends of labor
benefit the wage earners." Are not all
Democrats who want office ''true friends of
labor?' well regulated license law will, it
is declared, best promote the cause of tenn
perance and good order in society, but Re
publican county commissioners can't be en-
dured.
All the minor blunders that the conven-
tion may have made are overshadowed by
the nomination of Cleveland. That was a
blunder for which the Republicans have
much reason to be thankful.

So when second expedition was planned he
determined there should be no Sabbath
breaking connected with it that he could pre-
vent. The advance was to be made early on
Monday morning. On Saturday he ordered
my husband Colonel Preston at that time
ON his staff to see that the necessary powder
was in readiness. The quartermaster could
not find sufficient quantity in Winchester
on Saturday, but during Sunday it was pro
cured. On Sunday evening the fact in some
way got to Jackson's ears. At very early
hour on Monday he dispatched an officer to
Shepherdstown for other powder, which was
brought. Then summoning Colonel Preston,
he said very decisively:

A Trick Played on Mr. Cleveland.

Ia ot 'Aoio NIGH oto1J LII . SuiCdSO IACcl-
Ocean.1
Once I was in boat with him FGrover
Cleveland and another good fellow, whom
won't name-he's dead now-and we got to
joking "Grove" about being the worst fish
erman that ever dropped line. He nettled
up little and bet me five dollars that he
would bait once and not pull up till he had
fish. [ took him up, thinking it was q
pretty safe bet but did not expect to win
it the way did 'tGrove" got good lively
minnow-we were bass fshing-and put it
on his hook very carefully. Now he did not
like to hold his rod-that was too much like
work-so he would put d cork on the line,
and then set the pole under the seat in the
middle of the boat and let it hold itself.
Then he would lie back and watch the cork.
Of course he got bite. As rule before he
could get the butt of his pole loose the fish
was off. On the occasion I speak of he bait
ed and dropped the end of the line into the
water to keep the minnow alive, while be
changed the position of the cork, which did
not suit him. While he was doing this
friend who was with US reached down and
with sharp knife cut the line between the
hook and the sinker and let the minnow
away. "Grove" slid his cork up and down
foot or two till he got it to suit him and then
set the pole, remarking that my five dollars
was his ''meat." "Grove" is an obstinate
fellow and he watched that cork, but never a
bob. We went on and pulled in two or
three good ones, which made Cleveland all
the more confident. He sat and watched it
for fifteen minutes, when he began to swear.
We warned him that it was we'll known that
no man could catch fish who failed to OBJ
serve the appropriate commandment. He
waited and watched patiently, till finally at
the end of ree-quarters of an hour he gave
up and pulled up to see what was the mat
ter. He was dumbfounded to find neither
hook nor bait. That evening all the boys
got hold of the story, but it was six months
before the trick was explained and he knew
how it happened. The club voted, how
ever, that we were justified in drinking the
wine at his expense, because he would have
lost the bet anyway and he could fish just as
successfully under ordinary circumstances
without the bait as with it
