FEW ESCORTS.
Congressman Carlos French of New Haven
district has joined the procession of Demo
Gratis who would rather climb tree than en-
ter politics this year. He has written a Lett
| ter saying that he cannot be candidate.
| The New Haven Union, striving for peace as
they all are down that way, says of the re-
l tirement:
/ The gentlemen who are responsible. fol
this withdrawal seem to care for nothing
| than to crafty their personal ends, the sue
cess of the national ticket being a secondary
consideration with them.
And, while the Union is thus sweet tenn
pered, the Register has not yet announced
that any leader for the party has been found
in Connecticut and is apparently as hopeless
as ever. What they need down there at tide
| water to insure harmony is to organize few
escorts.-Hartford Courant.
