II is well known that Senator Hawley has been
seriously ill., and that he is old man. not likely
to fill out many years of service. but the gen

has met with proper resentment on the part or his
friends that a popular subscription of $4,000 be
made up for him. This last proposition Is resarded
as ridiculous on the face of it. and presumes that
the Senator is poor and that if he had money ne
would as a matter of course, resign from the Sen
ate and make way for others to contest his seat
The Senator is by no means poor neither Is ne
rich man but his living in comfortable clrcum-
stances whether in the Senate or out or H. Is not
a question that needs to be discussed at ALL II Is
to he taken for granted Some of the press OF the
state have gone so far as to bring out the names
of Samuel Fessenden of Stamford Morgan u
F,uIkeley Of this city, and Governor Mclean as In

On the face of IT. however much some of the friends
of tbe men named might like to see them IN tne
