There are two men in Connecticut who
for years have annually contributed to the
Democratic state campaign fund thousands
of dollars, and who by their liberality have
come to be leaders of their party. They are
men of very ordinary abilities, with no talent
except talent for the acquisition of riches,
and would have been unknown beyond
narrow business circle had it not been for
their great wealth. They were possessed of
a wish to gain reputation in political walks,
and as money had procured them many de-
sirable things they entertained no doubt that
with it they could buy office and national
recognition. They were not mistaken. In
the Democratic party of Connecticut they
found an organization having these things TO
dispose of and much in need of corruption
fund. Certain d Democratic politicians went
into the conventions and announced that
they knew candidates who would 'shell out
liberally," who had wealth enough to buy up
half the state, who were unhampered and
untroubled by convictions, and who were
ready to pay well for services. A bargain
was struck. One of these men paid forty
thousand dollars into the hands of Demo-
cratic committee, and got seat in Congress-
The other made better trade, paying only
fifteen thousand dollars for his chair at Wash
ington. The money got was used in corrupt
ing the voters of the state and destroying the
purity of elections.


So long as these men did not come in COM
petition with each other there was great har-
mony in the Democratic party of Connecti-
cut. Voters were bought as needed, and
middle-men grew rich by the operation. But
this Spring there was vacancy in the Sem
ate to be filled by the legislature of Connecti-
cut. Messrs. Barnum and English, the rich
men who had bought seats in the House.
both wanted to be Senator. The only way
which presented itself to them to obtain the
position was to buy it, for they had no ability
and no record of meritorious service which
gave them claim upon the admiration or
gratitude of their ow-citizens. So in the
State election they expended money lavishly,
and purchased many close towns, thus seeur-
ing large Democratic majority in the legis-
lature. Having employed their wealth sue
cessfully against the common enemy they
turned about and employed it against each
other. The Democratic members of the leg
islature were put up for sale. The auction
took place Wednesday, and after some spir-
tied bidding the lot was knocked down to Mr..
Barnum. The goods will be delivered in
few days.


Thus the Democracy of Connecticut has
thrust aside its able men like Wells, and In
gersoll and Hubbard, men of high culture, of
strict integrity, of experience in government
al affairs, and has chosen to the choicest DO
sition in its gift man whose only recon-
mendation is his wealth. Was ever so shame
less proceeding known in this country be-
fore!
