THE BRIGHT SIDE

Of Connecticut's Political Muddle.
 There is bright side to the political muddle in Connecticut and the people, if not the professional politicians. are evidently looking on that bright side, otherwise the new complications which arise almost daily would produce snar- chy, riot and bloodshed.
 One bright feature is discerned and recognized by all, viz, time will bring . new election and thus settle the con- troversey. However, there is one bright feature which may not be recognized by all, nevertheless it exists, viz, the two surviving candidates for governor, and the present occupant of the executive chair, have reason to be satisfied with the situation. The Senate declared Judge Morris elected. and ., he was sworn in as governor of Connecti- cut MT Morris ought to be satisfied in asmuch as from his standpoint he gets all the honor of the office without any of it's cares, responsibilities and drudg- cry. On the other hand, everyone knows that Samuel B. Merwin was elected governor of Connecticut, according to the laws of the state, if full and fair count had been returned. That honor ought to satisfy MT Merwin inasmuch as he also escapes the cares, responsi- bilities and routine work of the gover- nor's office and furthermore even in the present muddle he continues to be ieutenant-governor of Connecticut. The late Phineas NJ. Augur never expected to be governor of Connecticut, but he had the satisfaction of knowing that he held the balance of power and virtually made or nnmade the governor. The present incumbent, Morgan e. Bulk eleY, seems to be exceedingly we'll satis- fed with the situation. therefore the three present figureheads for governor ought to be content, and as long as they and the people remain quiet every thing: should be lovely and the goose hang high notwithstanding the profes- sionsl politicians of all. parties wrangle and accuse each other of fraud and duplNity.
