THEIR LATEST SCHEME.
General Merwin May Enter tf
 Capitol By the Back Door.

General Merwin May Enter the
 Capitol By the Back Door.
 As is we'll known by this time to every citizen of Connecticut if the senate and the house of representa- get into a deadlock over the re- turns of the last election, the present officials, including Govern r Bulke- ley and Lieutenant Governor Merwin, will hold over and retain their respective offices until their successors are chosen and qualified. Now the scheme of these party dealels is this. The state constitu- tion says that in case of the death, re" signation or impeachment. of the gov ernor the lieutenant governor shall be- came governor. So it is proposed that if the deadlock continues the republican party will say to the democrats "unless you agree to open the ballot boxes in whatever places we wish, Governor Bulkeley will resign and then Lieu tenant Governor Merwin will under the constitution become governor"
 These leaders say that this is the neat est way to bring the democrats to terms, and they only wait the concurrence of Governor Bulkeley. But Governor Bulkeley may remember the way he was insulted by Merwin henchmen at the New Haven convention, and refuse to go into any such scheme, and even if he should forget the New Haven episode it may be remarked that he is not that kind of a man.

close of the war he went to New York,
which was then but small place,
and entered a mercantile business.
Nine years later the Doctor removed TO
Cooperstown, and in 1856 went to Schen-
ectady to live in order to give his chill
dren the benei; OF a complete educa-
ton. In 1852 he came to Milwaukee to
join his son, who had been living here
two years. He leaves son, ". :. Can
dee, of this city, and three daughters.
Or. Candee was a re markable man in
many ways. Notwithstanding his ad
vanced years, his mental faculties were
perfectly preserved. He had Won
derful memory, and took the liveli, ST
interest in the events of the day. He
was great reader, ana always kelt
posted on the things agItatlng the pub
lie mind. Having seen ali the great in
dustries OF the country augmented and
developed, and the government ltsel.
built up from very small beginning, lie
WAS living, talking history, and his re-
mlniscences, many OF which have been
published, were very interesting. He
witnessed the first steamboat trip on
the Hudson, and rode on the first rail
road built in the United States. He
WAS acquainted with Genet. tie French
minister, and said that Genet never re-
turned TO rance because Ne Was dlTai''
of losing his head. He treated Gen.
W;tt Clinton, and rode down tie Hu.
son with Aaron Burr, Just after he had
shot Alexander Hamilton. He always
declared that Burr looked like n
guilty man. Mr.. Candee cast
his first presidential ballot for John
Quincy Adams, and voted for William
Henry Harrison in 1896, and again IN
lS4p He voted for BENJAMIN Harrison,
and after his election wrote letter tell
ing him thst he had voted for his grand
father. The President answered him
personally, and the Doctor exhibited
the letter with justitisble pride. By
request the funeral will take place from
the house tomorrow. and his grand
sons will act as his pall-bearers.
Dr. Candee became church member
at an early age, and was an earnest
Presbyterian elder for many yeaIs.
His constant interest in all the progress
and work of the church was remark
able. Although IN later years deprived
of his hearing, he was a regular ard
constant attendant upon all the church
services until near the close OF his lite.
In the church We're his deepest sympa
