The Republican National Committee
 Losing Faith in Connecticut.
 Says the New Haven News to-day: The republican managers of this city have con- ceded the state, upon the popular vote, to Cleveland. One of the most prominent of the managers, who refused to allow the use of his name, imparted that information to a reporter yesterday. They are very san guine, however, of electing the republican state ticket. Not by a majority vote but by carrying the legislature. The reporters informant would go no further. It is said, however, that the republican national committee has served notice on the republican state committee that it will desist from sending any more funds into Connecticut and that the local contest must be fought with ammunition of their own making The national committee has concluded that the republicans can afford to lose Connecticut if they can carry New York. They will fight every inch of the ground there, and the present squabble and division among the democrats of New York city has risen to high water mark.
