Colonel Mcclure Speaks Upon State
 Issues at Norwich.
 Col Alexander Mcclure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, in the course of his address at Norwich last evening, spoke as follows:
 The exclusion of Mir Morris from the office to which the people had elected him, as certified by your republican state officers, was simply revolutionary theft originating in your rotten borough house. If there were ballots in dispute they could not affect the prima facle right of Mir Morris to be qualified when his certificate of election, made by his political opponents, completed every ceremony of law, save the formal an nouncement by the legislature, and the branch of the legislature that represented the people was ready and anxious to make that announcement | The right of contest would have re- mained, and if the proper authority de- cided that the republican certificate was erroneous in any material respect, law and justice could have been promptly attained; but the exclusion of MT Morris, when all parties formally and officially concurred in his election, outside of your rotten borough house, was revolutionary and the possession of | the office by Bulkeley was a theft under the faintest color of law that should make every honest citizen of the state join in scourging him from the associa- ! tion of honest men. If I had such a neighbor in Pennsylvania, and possessed good chickens, would take the precau- tion of roasting them mighty high.
 During the last ten years the people of Connecticut have, at each election for governor, given decided plurality for the democratic candidate, but in only one instance was the man the people voted for given the office. Waller re. celved 4,161 over Bulkeley in 1882 Waller received 1 ,646 over Harrison in 1884; Cleveland received 1898 over Lounsbury in 1886; Morris received 1 ,415 over Bulkeley in 1888, and Morris re- ceived 3,6S3 over Merwin Tn 1890, and Is (26 being the actual majoritv) majority over all. take all these figures from Whitelaw Reid's Tribune almanac, and I believe the only error is in not giving Morris his full ma jority over all. Thus the people of Connecticut at five conse- cutive elections for governor, have given democratic majorities over the re publican candidates ranging from ,415 to 4, ,161, but only in one instance was last contest even the plain mandates oi the law were denied, and Bulkeley has played governor to illustrate the highest refinement of political theft and the highest measure of popular forbearance Fitly does such man and the party that sustains him represent the present policy of the republican party tha governs by the few against the many and that taxes the masses for the benefi of classes.
