Growers check for $4,000 caused more
rejoicing among the unwashed than the
ninety and nine other deeds of dirt and

etor of large granite yard; Martin Sykes,
q Democratic Alderman from the Fourth
| Ward, in Bridgeport Abraham Peck,
Fifth Ward leader; William S. King,
Sixth Ward magnate; Morris Barton,
heretofore q prominent Prohibitionist;
James Gilbert, wealthy ex-Mugwump,
and ex-Alderman Thomas Roman, of the
Fourth Ward. are few of the many that
go to make up the big wave of Republican
conversion which will swamp the Con-
nec.ieut Democracy in Noyember-N. Y.
