 FOUNDI
 A Chance For Simeon E. at Last.
 Yesterdays Hartford Courant says:
 The Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin of New Ha | ven announces that this year he is not
 mugwump, but Democrat, land it is might,
 timely announcement for the Democrat, f party, for it gives them, all of a sudden,
 man whom they can run for governor. MT
 Baldwin, as they say in the summer resor
 notices, "possesses many natural advantages \ and can give the best of references" :" for ever I @ Democrat Is ready to admit the value 0
 Republican references. MT. Baldwin can re l fer to his eminent father, himself governo
 of the State, who cordially fought the Demo I cracy, if we are not mistaken, or he can pro
 duce his own militant record up to 1884. Fl,
 can furnish Republican praise and Demo cratic abuse in large quantities, and thes
 are reckoned a satisfactory send-oH for an, good citizen who is ambitious to deserve wei l of his country. | Why should not they run hint If he pos ' fho nf roaor ! why not let him serve as resort of the Con \ necticut Democracy during the trying seasol
 of 1S8Sa And, if there's nobody else to run | why not all the more reason for taking him | Indeed, it seems conclusive.
 1 It is the grateful custom of the Democrat | party to heap the honors of candidacy upol
 its best men in the years when nobody els I wants to run for office. When there is 6 fai | prospect of success the gentlemen of eminenc
 and responsibility are permitted to confer tn
 honor of their support upon fellow Democrat of different sort. Business is business. Blu
 this is not a business year for the Connection
 Democracy. Their leaders are desponden
 already as to the situation and are givin \ more time (and other things) to the prohibi
 tion cause than to their own canvass.

 George Sumner isn't feeling well enough
 Judge Granger is counted out. Tom Walle | will not run unless he is ordered out by tn

 Indeed, the question is rather what woul the Democracy have done if Mir. Baldwi
 hadn't come out just as he has. Now the
 can put him up and know, for we are happ | to acknowledge 1t, that with him for cand date they would have an able, intelligent an i, thoroughly upright gentleman, and the
 needn't worry for fear they would be settin
 into trouble by electing him, for that wouldn
