lent policy which he has pursued, the
nobility of character and sound common
sense which he has displayed has been re-
marked and admired by all the people of
the state.
1t must be also remembered that during
all this time he has been much occupied
with his duties as lieutenant governor of
the state and his duties as president of a
bank, trustee of estates, etc., and the
sterling qualities which he has displayed
in attending to these duties and in looking
after his interests in regard to the states
affairs have awakened admiration in all.
He has stood firm and strong amid all the
farcical proceedings which followed cleo
ton, commanding the respect and esteem
of both parties.
SENATOR FOX ON THE SITUATION.
Senator Fox was interviewed yesterday
his candidacy for reelection he said:
'It seems to me that so far as possible
the members of the last senate should be
renominated, as much as the old state
ticket. We carried out policy that we
believed to be the right one, and we ought
to submit our record to the people. Mr..
Wolfe's name has been suggested, but it
has been mainly to force me to take sides
on the congressional candidacy. I am
personally friendly to both candidates, and
have told them that I should not take
sides with either one. I do not believe
that Mr.. Wolfe is a candidate, and do not
anticipate any opposition to my candi-
da e;l,, J., ,, ~, :, ,...,
for lieutenant governor by the democrats?"
81 do not believe thatCongressmanV lance of
P-ik tot TOD ha
cept. I think Senator D. NJ. Read of
Bridgeport. He deserves it both on ac
count of the manner in which he con-
Quoted the democratic cause the past year
in the senate, and because he is in the
regular line of promotion to that position.
There may be an objection to this can
didacy because he and Mr.. Phelan both
live in the same city, but think that
ought not to count in this case. At all
events am strongly in favor of Senator
Read"
A NEW HAVEN MANUFACTURERS OPINION.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Through your valuable paper I wish to
give some reasons why J. B. Sargent
should receive the nomination for con-
gress:
First, he is thorough, able, business
man, of wide range of experience, know
ing what is needed to promote the COM
mercial and industrial interests of our
state.
Second, he is at the head of one of the
largest industries of New England, which
has done much to help the merchants and
| real estate owners of our city.
Third, he is benefactor in many cases
and instances among the community Of
our city.
Fourth, he has given our city as mayor
a sound and wise administration, devoting
much time to fulfill his position and per
feet the work laid out before him.
Fifth, he has other reasons why the
business and working people should honor
| him with the nomination for congress.
| Why James P. Pigott should not receive
the nomination in preference to ]. B. Sar-
gent:
First, he is lawyer with no or little ex
perience whatsoever of the needs and re-
quirements of manufacturing and com
mercial affairs.
Second, he is politician and lawyer o.
fair ability, making living through
mistakes, blunders and mishaps of oul
community or society, and having dom
little or nothing to add to the wealth
growth or prosperity of our state or city
Third, he has, which 1 do not doubt,
good character and nature, still this doe
not qualify him for congressman from thi
state.
Fourth, our county should be repre-
sented in senate and congress by able bust
ness men and not lawyers. Our voter
should carefully consider the facts befor
casting their vote in this important con
gressional race. f. J. s.
- QUITE RIGHT.
The Hartford Courant remarks regard
ing the seething cauldron of New Havel
democratic local politics just at present
NEW Haven democrats have been doinl
some tall hustling this week. There hav
been Pigott and Sargent meetings ever
night, and no effort will be spared to hav
the largest prim aries ever held Frida,
night. Whoever carries New Haven viii
have a mortgage on the congressional nom
ination, as New Haven has twenty on
delegates in the convention"
ACTIVITY AMONG CONNECTICUT REPUBL1
The number of new republican clubs be
ing formed and the activity among the oil,
ones are sure signs that republicans al
along the line are alive to the situation
An unusual degree of enthusiasm is beinl
displayed for thus early in the campaign
Arrangements for early republican rallie
are already being completed in man,
places.
PLANS OF PRO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MA
NOMINATE PARsoN FORBES FOR COVER
| NOR
The call for the Connecticut prohibition
convention will be issued this week. Tn
basis of representation will be two dele
gates from each town and one additional
for every ten votes or major fraction there

which should insure a convention of g.
delegates. Fairfield county under thi
arrangement will be entitled to sixty
two additional members. It is now re
garded as probable that the prohibition
lists will place an old ticket in nomina
ton. The vacancy for governor cause
by the death of Phineas M. Augur O
Middlefeld will be filled by the selection
of the Rev. S. B. Forbes of Hartford, VIII

in 1886. Mr.. Forbes is pastor of Con
, Williams college, where he was associates
as student with President Garfield. Hi

Der by Ex-Governor John P. St. John @
