The blican5 plurality for Presi-
dent in 1900 was 2s.57o, although on
governor 1T was IA 402. The votes cast;
for the Presidential and gubernatoria1
candidates that year were as follows: :
Republican, for President, l02,5G7;;
for governor, 95,s22. Democratic, for
President 1897; for governor, s1,42o.
This would indicate that about 1000
voters, presumably gold Democrats,
cast their ballots for Mckinley, but
supported their own candidate for
governor. The Republican plurality
for governor in 1902 was 16,O08, and
the last Legislature had Republican
majority Of 131 on joint ballot. The
aggregate Republican plurality for
members of Congress in 1902 was 49,

Democrats must be set forth. 1t must
be admitted that many Of them are
sangune of carrying the State for
Parker. Flow. far "the wish is father
to the hope and how much their be-
lief is based upon actual knowledge,
| is hard to say. Much OF the inquiry
was made among men who had re-
fused to support Bryan in 1896 and
200, although some of those seen had
voted for. him in the latter year.
There was a general agreement that
very nany-some claimed all-of the
gold Democrats would this year sup
port Parker. This alone, however, will
not give the State to the Democrats,
and, therefore, hope drafts are being
made on Republicans in order to make
up the majority. The reasons alleged
why Republicans in Connecticut are
not going to leave their party and can
didates for the Democracy and Judge
| Parker are Of piece with those aG-
vanced elsewhere. The desire for "A
change" which comes over some peo-
pie at times, dissatisfaction with the
stand pat" policy on the tariff, Judge
Packer's vaunted safety, sanity and
conservatism and his forcing his
party to accept the gold standard-all
this and much more OF the same sort.
The main thing, however, is the al!eS-
ed distrust Of President Roosevelt. 1t
is harped on that the people are afraid
of him and consider him too impul-
sive, if not cratic, to safely admin
;ster the affairs Of the Nation. They
say that the business men are opposed
to him, that his course in enforcing
the antitrust laws has angered the
financial interests, and his position
with regard to labor unions has done
much to ALLEVIATE the manufacturers.
There seems to be some ground for
the latter statement Some manufac-
| turers are doubtless opposed to the
President because of his action in the
anthracite strike, and the recent Sc
rious troubles in Colorado and the
present great strike in Chicago have
done much to deepen the feeling.
