 Not within our recollection have so many Republican papers spoken so kindly Of the Democratic state ticket as in Connecticut this fall. Almost without exception the Republican press of the state have praised the Demo- cratic governor and his associa tes on the Democratic ticket. It is impos- sib1e to summarize all the fine things which have been said by these Repuo- 1ican- papers in the space of short editorial. They have merely given
 praise where praise is due, and this is a long step away from that kind of part1sanship of a few years ago which permitted no Republican paper to say a decent thing about a Democrat and vice versa
 For instance, the Waterbury Repub- lican says editorially that the state has had little to criticise in Governor BaldWin's admins istration. It says that Governor Baldwin has given few who voted for him good cause not to vote for him again, and that in this cratic party he adds wonderful strength to it's appeal to the voters of Connecticut" A Democratic paper l could hardly give the governor stronger endorsement than this. The New London Telegraph which in previous campaigns has generally publican ticket, frankly admits that the Democrats of Connecticut in their convention have nominated an abler4 candidate for governor on a far
 
 cans. In like manner, the previously strongly Republican New London Day, l is if anything more enthusiastic in it's endorsement of the Democra tic than the Republican nominee for gov erilor. Its comment on the Republi- can state convention, coming as It organ as the Day, is positively luke warm. It merely admits that tine Re l publican state convention was "a dis tinct advance in progress and did it's n It believes that the fact that Judge Studley's noninat tion was brought l about by the Republican state ma 1 chine, will weaken him in the esti1na- l ton of many voters. It says in this
 respect, Judge Studley '1s not as strong a candidate at this political cri- 1 would have been.'' The balance Of the Republican ticket in the opinion
 of the Day. is composed of men Of
 strong endorsement from Republi- can newspaper to say the most for it. We might continue at considerable 1 which both the Republican and Dem ocratic newspapers in the state have accepted the renomination of Cover nor Baldwin, and the naming by the
 Democrats qf strong state ticket. the 1 strongest ticket in the opinion of our esteemed con temporary, the Times | ocratic party has named in this state I in 30 years, We might set forth the most lukewarIn manner in which the | Republican press of the state have ac- 1 cepted the ticket put through the Re publican convention by the state ma 1 chine. We prefer, however, to meet
 an unexpected show of fairness on the 1 part of the Republican press with 8 like spirit. Therefore, we desire to say at this time that Governor Bald | win and Judge Studley would in our opinion make acceptable chief execu- tives of this commonwealth. Cover 1 nor Baldwin has already proved his ! fitness for the office he now holds and we can see no good reason why the 1 people should, desire a change.
