FITTING TO BE ROTSED.

The Connecticut Democrats are in bad
way according to their leading newspaper,
1.-The Ncw-IIavcn Register" In New-llavcn
they have a great deal of what "Thc New
| York SUM- calls "pent-up enthusiasm" but
complaint is made that the local managers do
not send for tirst-class speakers to turn it on.
1.-The Register; reports one Democratic leader
rs saving: "IIow on earth do the Democratic
managers expect to get the Democratic masses
up in first class fighting condition, so to speak
| m New Haven unless we have some such men
as Senator Hill. Governor Waller. Bomke Cock
ran or Governor Russell TO come here ana arouse
the Democratic scntmenty They are all
waiting TO be reused. but somehow nobody
comes round to rouse them. There are plenty
of local Democratic orators as, Tor instance,
the Hon. james Pigott who has just been
nominated for Congress after an extremely
arduous campaign in which his party asso-
cates shook up his public services and private
character from SaybroOll t. SOuthbury till he
didn't know whether he was running rs a
Republican. Democrat KnOw-Nothing or Pro-
hibitonst. and wasn't certain whether he hailed
| from Cork or Jerusalem. Jimmy" Is some
thing of a hustler; and we should think he
might rouse 'em little after he RECEIVERS from
the fatigues OF his late cam align.
Then there is Judge Luzon Il. Morris, the
candidate for Governor and prize martyr who,
| like Grover Cleveland is now in the enjoyment
of his third nCmination-we should say that
| the story of his martyrdom As related by him
self with stereoptcOn illustrations OF his taking
the oath of Office and his introduction to Il
| Boston dining club as an actual Governor, and
| his attitude when he demanded the Office OF
Morgan Bulkelcy and the countcnance OF the
| " Csurper'' as he replied "Oh, no, Judge; not
this morning SIN other morning. Good morn
| ing ~ and his own appearance as he dropped
a tear as large as n crab-applc for the violated
Constitution and turned away exceeding sor-
rowful-we should say that this story, from the
Judges own lips-the stercopticon being in the
hands of another person. so that the thread OF
the narrative might not be disturbed by hay
ing to stop and monkey with the machine
ought TO rouse what the leader just quoted calls
| ;. the Democratic masses" This could not be
done at an open-air meeting on the Green on
account of the stercOptcon. II might be done
in halls in various parts of the city, however,
on successive nights, thus rousng the masses,
as it were. by instruments.
Or. if the masses are dead set on an open
air meeting on the Green and determined not
| to be reused in any other way what's the
matter with getting them out some pleasant
day to hear the president Of the state Demo-
cratic Club, Professor Simeon Baldwin. tell
how tho people Of Connecticut, have suffered
| for $50 years under constitutional system, the
inouties Of which arc viewed with adherence
| by people who do not hold Office under IT, be-
sides giving great pain TO the Governors OF
| adjoining States, who would rather a thousand
| hoIse-thicyes should go loose than one such
| instrument should be recognized? This story
! told by the Professor in his own imprisoned
way in the open air, ought to catch the masses
right up as it were. We are not certain but
that if he should put all the fills on it and
tell it Just back Of Centre Church, the regcideS
living there would turn over and express re-
| gret that they had been 50 severe on Charles,
The was so much more toleiablc person than
Morgan Bulkeley.
There are other local rolsers who might be
named, but we only suggest these. If the
masses will not permit themselves to be reused
by such talent but will insist on Senator Hill
Bourke Cockgan and such, we fear they will
| stav sleepy And some fine morning in No
| yember "the masses when asked why they
permitted Harrison to carry the State, will wipe
their eyes and say: 1--WE were all ready &c
be reused but they didn't send anybody t.
rouse usv
