the nomination Of state and Electoral tickets. 1t is
expected that August 80 and 81 will be named The
outlook is decidedly in favor Of General Mervin
for the first place the ticket. His friends urgs
that he has been placed in most singular position,
ono In which 1t impossible that he could present
his side Of the deadlock without seeming to be the
merest political hunter for self While the that
the small maioity claimed against him has been
wiped out dozen times by the showing made
in the Phean-Walsh quo warIanto by Democratic
counsel he has been 50 situated that he could make
legal move. lie mas won the esteem OF the party
by the dignity which he has maintained during a
political situation that the most trying that has
ever come TO q candidate for Office In this state. 1t
is generally conceded that he will be
renominated for Governor and. with the fairly
presented to the voters and with the usual help OF the
National campaign. that he will DC elected BY the
people by safe majority. For second place. 1t Is
understood that George Austen Bowen, OF Woodstock.
who the candidate In 500. does not care again
go upon the ticket This leaves opening, which
has been looked upon by the friends of several gentle
men from the central portion Of the state. EX-
Coffin. of Middletovn. has been named and hs
would make exceptionally good candidate 20 has
senator Clark, OF Hadlan. who has been the per-
sstent member Of the Republican side OF the Senate
during the deadlock in pressing to the front the fact
that the Republican House has laid at the doors
business which ought to be transacted. lie Is a man
OF great deal OF native force and has many
friends In MlddleseX County. Edward Miner, Of
Plainheld delegate 10 Minneapolis from wndham
County, has also been named. and has Representa-
tive +. J. steele, OF Torrngton. For Secretary VI
state, new man Will also be named. George p.
Mclean, the Old candidate, IS now United states Dis
tnct-Atorncy. For this position. there is general
feeling that Gardiner Greene, Ir. Of Norwich. the
leader Of the House of Representatives. for the Re.
puhcans during the sessions Of the last two years.
would be most appropriate candidate, and one who
would aid the party greatly In carrying the His
leadership has been OF the quiet, fOrceful Sort never
noisy or SNOWY but well planned and successful in
every instance in which parliamentary tactics wee
tested % their utmost keep the situation we'll within
the hands OF the Republicans, ana at the same time
not 10 violate the good OF the Republican party
In the matter. Treasurer +. stevens Henry will have
served two terms when this term expires and is prom
inently spoken OF by the Republicans OF this district
candidate for Congress. Indeed, other name has
been mentioned, and he will not be the state
ticket. a will be named. and II the friend,
OF EX senator Coffin should press his name for this
position, rather than for Lieutenant Governor he could
be- named easily. lie /, one OF the abest hnancler, IN
Central Connecticut For Controller senator Caravan.
Of Fast Hartford, has been spoken OF by great
many who would be much better for tho
state than the present incumbent Nicholas Staub. who
not only attends TO his duties under the law but In
s~ts that he knows more about the law. and the
those duties should be executed. than any who
has held the Office before.
The Congressional nominations are well under con-
sderaton. state Treasurer Henry win undoubtedly be
the candidate from the Isl District. He has made
good record IN the Treasurcr's Office. DugtnS
