A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.
nu.‘
HAR'I‘IOBD, Saturday, Oct; 12, 1878.
Ill ii State clet tiou will take place in Connec-
tion, and besides thematic“ of a State
ticket, Senators from evenly-numbered dis—
tricts are to be chosen for two' years, to-
gather with members of the lower Muse
from every town ; and members of Congress
from the four districts will be voted for.
The Legislature, which will meet in Jan—
lnry, will elect a,United States Senator in
p‘ace of William H. Barnum. Democrat,
whose term expires on the‘ 4th of next
March. The imporance of the election from
a political point of view, is, therefore, ap-
parent. The Republicans of the State are
thoroughly united, allowing no disturbing
side issues to enter into the canvas, and
will make the campaign as effective as possi—
ble; while the democrats are much disturb-
ed over anticipated losses through theGreen-
back organization and the confusion in their
own ranks over the financial question, which
has forced them to concessions in their
State platform, ii spite of protests made by .
Smator Eaton and other old hard-money
leaders, as well as _to piaceing upOn their
State ticket 3 candidate for Lieutenant-Gov~
ernor who .is a very decided soft-money
man, though not iiicliued just now to open—
ly avow his views. These concessions have
not accomplished the object sought as the
nor encouraged them, being determined to
take an independent course, accepting no
terms of compromise, but demanding if
the Democrats desired affiliation at the polls
that they should absolutely surrender them-
selves. In thei New Haven Congressman]
District the surrender has been complete.
Judge Phelps, who is the nominee for Con—
gress of both Democrats and Greenbackeis,
has written his letter of acceptance to the
latter organization, and is to all intents and
purposes the candidate of that party, the
Democracy being only the tail to his kite.
Meanwhile, the district contains a large ma-
jority of hard-money men, leading Demo-
crats like ex-Govs. English and Ingcrsoll
included amdng the number, but it is a ser—
ious question whether attachment to party
is not too strong to move these men' toa
higher sense of duty _tbanto abandon their
convictions for the sake ofdcfeating a can-
didate who on general issues is in sympathy
with them. It is all together probable that
' the hard-money Democrats of the district
e one of their own number; who
deuce of the people in
: ladmiuistration,
' l sup—
the single point
as a candidate, he won
litically that his courage has failed him,
and he does, not daren‘take' the stumpaud

tors, whose sentiments he despises. '

There. are three candidates in the First
District=—Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, (Republi-j
can)znomihated on the distinct and sole issue
of hardmoney; George M. Landers, (Demo-
crat and soft money ;) Isaac B. Davis
(straight Greenback.) Gen IIawlcy, at the
last election, when he was defeated, ran
nearly a thousaud'votcs ahead of the Re—
publicani'S-tate ticket, and lost his election
by ballot—box stalling in this city, of which
there is no doubt. His friends have abund-
ant proof that he has been fairly elected by
e‘eciiofis'wnsre‘ Marinades has been count;
ed in by '1 small plurality. The f'raudi'ile'ltt.u
practices of the Democracy in'the Domiti-
cratie wards‘of this'c'ty are exactly in ac;
cordance with the "old Tweed plan of fold-
ing small ballots, printed with diamond type
and on very thin paper, .witliin'a large thick
ballot, and they can be got easily when the
voter and the box-tender are in collusion.
The introduction of this paper began with
the advent “into local politics of John B.
McDonnell, .now Chairman of the Demo-—
cratic Town Committee, who came to Hart-
ford,',aftc'r T'v.'e'ed,’s"power was gone, from
New Yerk, having been employee under
Tweed-in the Supervising office.’ Perhaps
this man is an innocent as a chicken, but
his tracks looks badly. Landers while
Congressman, has kept him in Washington
as clerk of a committee, and brought him
back here on ”his own return to help him
in canvassing the district for his renomina—
tion, and 5to assist in the adoption of his'
methods of cramming a big vote in the lower.
wardsof this, city. . Besides this shameful
advantage which_Landers has ‘had in Hart—
ford, himself and party have derived great
benefits frOm certificate voting, which was
restored. by the Democratic Party in 1874,
and under which thousand of illegal voters
were created throughout the State. This
feature of the election law the Republicans
have abolished during the past two years,
and full registration is now required, with
a yearfs residence in the State and six
months in a town. The best will be done that
can be done to protect the ballot—boxes
frdm Democratic scoundalism. Of the Second
District (New Haven and Middlesex Coun—
ties) I have already said in general obser—
vation above, all that can be until it is defi—
nitely . known who will be put in the field
against Mr. Phelps. In the Third District
(New London and Windham Counties) Con-
gressman Wait is very sure of a re-clection.
His opponent, Garter haviufleveloped some
local strength as a candidate for Judge of
Probate against Gen. Harland, and being
on both sides, of the money question, was
taken up as the most available man, but
his defeat is certain. Mayor Waller, (Dem.,)
of New London, who scored him severely
the other day, as reported in the Tfnws, said
to your correspondent last Winter that the
Greenback idea was only “ a polite Way of
favoring repudiation," and at that time he
was rather disposed himself to favor it, but
ported by the Republicans; but‘
ably have not the independence to do it;
yet some of them may vote for a Republis
‘can. So it appears that the party, as a
whole, is neither one thing nor the other,
abandoning its old record both Statewise
and in the Congressional districts,” it has
not only indorsed Phelps conventionally,
-but has taken up Carter. the Greenback
candidate in the Third (Norwich) District,
and also renomiuated Landers iu the First
District who expected the Greenback nomi-
nasion also, though he failed to get it be-
cause e had not the ‘courage to announce
open] in this hard-money section what,
would really have amounted" Only to a dis—
closure of his Congressional record—a record
very remarkably set, _but such as might be
expected from a man who has no decided
convictions and faces buth ways for sup—
port yet elear enough intsome respects to
identify him _with the infiatiouists and repu—
diators, with whom he acted on several im—
portant motions in the House. '
IIKI’UBLYCAN STATE TICKET-
The State ticket of the Republicans. is a
thoroughly good one, and stands upon a
platform which gave the key-note almost of
the Fall campaign. You may have observed
that the leading resolutibns adopted by the
Missouri Republicans at their convention
this week are taken word for :word, *‘line
for line, and precept upon precept,” from
the Connecticut platform. which was sub-
stantially the joint work of Hon. Henry
C. Robinson, late Republican candidate, and
Charles Dudley Warner, the well-known
journalist and author. ,Wheu the conven-
tion was held there was a very determined
’feeling that Mr. Robinson should again con-
sent to head the ticket, but be absolutely
declined. Here in Hartford, especially,
there was considerable disappointment
over his declination, as some of his warmest
friends felt that in’ the present condition of
parties he'could be elected; and, moreover,
Gov. Hubbard is a Hartford man, it was
felt that Mr. Robinson was just the man to
measure strength with him here, . But, afier
all, the [merely local feeling on the subject
,was no test of final action, though unques-
tionably the vote in Hartford for Mr. Rob—
inson would have been much larger than
for any other Republican candidate, asliis
personal popularity is very great, whiie'llir.
Hubbard, though an able man, has fewer
elements to attract popular' attention. The
choice of the convention in nominating Hon.
Charles B. Andrews, of Litchfield, was
evidence. of a desire to seek a man who
was not seeking the office, and in placing
him at the head of the ticket the party has
secured a man of strong ability both as a
lawyer and legislator, and one who posses-
ses the fullest confidence of the people
of of his section of the State, as was
manifested last fall when his own town,
one of the ancient and consistent Democratic
towns of the State, returned him to the Leg—
islature. Not so widely known as some
other men personally, yet his name is fa-
miliarto the people of the‘State from his
active participation in legislative affairs for
many years. ‘I hardly think the Republi-
can papers havc set forth in language strong
enough his true merits. His course in the
last Legislature, {as Chairman of the Com-
mittee on the Judiciary, marked him as a
man, not only of uncommonly fine intelect,
but as a hard worker. Never before had
the judicial work of the session'beeu so care-
fully'attended to nor so speedily disposed
‘off Hon. David Gallup, the candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor, is from. Windham
County, the stronghold of zealous Republi-
canism, and has been a prominent man in
politics for many years. He has saved in
both branches of the Legislature, and been
once Speaker of. the House. He is a safe,
prudent man, and yet liberal and broad in
his views. The only complaint I have ever
heard against him was that he was too rig-
idly in favor of economy, which ought not
to be said to the injury of any man in these
days, when we are reaping the fruits of ex-
travagance and corruption. Col. David Tor-
rance, of Derby, one of the most promising
young lawyers of the State, and a good
soldier during the war, is candidate for S:-
cretary of State. ' Mr. Talmadge Baker, of
Norwaik, is: a well known financier, and
is running for Treasurer. Hon. Chauncey
Howard, of Coventry, the candidate for
Controller, was for many years Clerk of the
Superior Court for Hartford. County. He
has served in both branches of the Legisla—
ture, and is particularly liked for his genial
manners and pleasing conversational powers.
Compared with the Democratic nomination,
this ticket. in point .of personal character
the fitness of the candidates to fill the Offices
to which they are nominated, is superior to
that opposing it. The only man on the
Democratic ticket of marked character is
candidate for Governor, against whom the
Republicans ofthe State will speak no dis—
paraging word, though regretting to find
it is gratifying to know that he. has reform—
opinion and may be able‘ to do 8000

by over 1,700 majority 'at the last electidu.‘
His opponent is Mr. Bruggerhof, of Daiien,
who does business in New York, and has
lived in Connecticut for a few yeais'fidst,
and has once been elected to “the‘State
Senate: I notice that some of the- Demo:
cratic papers, including the Hartford'Tr'mes
and Bridgeport Farmer, ctill upOn Mr
candidate for Congress. They appear to
have forgotten that when Mr. Phelps was
run as a candidate for Congress in the
Second District and Judge Foster was the
Democratic candidate in the Third; that
the former was J udgc of the Superior Court,
and the latter a Judge of the Supreme
Court of Errors, and neither resigned. Fos-
ter was defeated and stuck 'to the Judgeship,
and did not leave the Bench until he had
reachedby age the constitutional limitation.
If it is proper for members of the State
Judiciary to use the:Bench as a'foOt-ball,
it is certainly entirely roper that Mr. Miles
should take his seat int e Senate in January,
and if elected to Congress go there on the
4th of March, when the General'Asscmbly
will probably haVc adjourned sine die.
THE GREENBACKERS.
You will have observed by dispatches sent
the Times during the past week that the
Greenback vote polled at the town electior'is
last Monday aggregated about 5,000. There
having been no election in New Haven,
which is the stronghold of the party, nor
any in Bridgeport, I assume the vote would
have approximated 8000 all told had every
town in the State voted. It is very certain
that the party has a better organization than
it has ever had before. At the State Con—
vention, and also at the Congressional Con—
vcntion held in the district, there was a
usually been seen in the Labor or Greenback
Conventions, yet it was possible to pick out
some who were evidently acting merely as
Democratic spies,‘and would séll out the In—
dependent Party if it could be done. ‘. The

TESTIMONY IN TIIE INNVESTIGATION.
TheUnited States Steamboat Inspectors
'begau Tuesday their investigation into the

maker of the boiler, by 'the’engin'eer and by .
thecapt‘aiu. Thomas McGee, the boiler mak-
er of Nyack, explained the character of the
boiler. “When I built the boiler in 1875;.
he'said, “I considered it a good one. The
trouble in this case with the place where
steam chimney was'that the current of steam
passing around wore it away. and patches
wereput on inside and out. This made leaks.
It was worn through forwardand’ shot the
steam chimney. - All the material used in the
construction of the boiler. was new iron. The
steamer Chryste'nah has a similar boiler that
has been used for six years and is still used;
the staying is the same; the boiler of the
Adelphi has been seen by me since the acci-
dent. I examined the thickness of the iron‘
since it was ruptured, and it is one-eighth of
an inch in some places and in others one-
sixteeuth of an inch. ' My way of making
the boiler safe would have been by cutting
out the bad places as far as I found the iron
thin. I do not think the patches as I found
them were safe. They might "stop the leak,
but would but make the boiler any stronger."
J. Augustus Howlaud, the engineer, testi-
fied about the gauges. When Inspector Blake
inspected the boiler at Norwalk, in June last,
he did .not particularly examine the places
where the patches were. About six Weeks»

manyhdf‘it’s‘mmfeatures, and he is
found guilty of gross negligence in the dis—
charge of his duty. _, They also find that

pable man, was grossly negligent in not re-
porting to the inspector certain-V serious de-
fects in. ihc‘jboiler, and in intrustiug impor-

taincy of the steamer Great Republic inter-
fered with his propgr oversight—ct ,the ma-
chinery of their varioussteamboats; that the
certificate of the inspeciiou was wrongfully
obtained by the company's agents, making
false representations regarding repairs order-
ed by the inspector; that there exists in the
steamboat'tnspectiou service rulesr'of mechan-
ical practice at variance with the highest me-
chanical authorities; that a system of petty
bribery is adopted by trauspdrtation com-
panies in the insuauce of -free yearly passes,
passage and excursion tickets, .and favors-
which are not granted to the general public;
that of late years many inspectors do not use
critical care, neglecting to employ their
standard steam gauges in making their in-
spection Of boilers; that the steamboat in-
spectioh service has nut elicited the high
respect which should be expected, but that
the annual inspection isgtermed by some
familiar with its werkings‘ merely a; “per-
formance," by others a “farce.” Under these
findings we (1) not see why Blake and How-
land should not be indicted for manslaughter.
Their conviction and punishment would be
a salutary example to inspectors and engin-
eers.
General Duinout, supervising inspector-gen-
eral of steamboats, says that the recommen-
dation of the jury in the case of the steam-
boat Adelpbi, which recently-blew up it So.
Norwalk, that the felt coverings of boilers be
put on in’ sections, is a. very important one.
He says thatiuspcctors have been deterred
from a thorough inspection of boilers by‘ fear
of causing expense'by removing the felting.
Last spring he issued a circular making
inquiries on xtbis' point, and, asking why
party leaders expect to be able't‘oj do much
better in November than in the town elect,—
tions, as the issues, they. say, are clearly
defined, but they will be. mistaken; entire1y
in some quarters of the State, Tliéy polled
nearly 1,000 votes on ,someg‘c'ajadidates. in
Hartford on ”Monday last, bate good many
Democrats voted "their .ticketn‘ot liking
their-own, and voted it as a ‘lbliadg":soto
speak, as they did not want to hep away
from the poll altogether. It is probable that
the vote will be reduced somewhat—possibly
to 500—though the Greenback men laugh
at the prediction. -New Britian, the home
of Congressman Lenders, will do nothing
for the, Greenback Party. Only two bal-
lots for that party were polled there at the
town election. But the Republicans swept
town against the united vote of Democrats
and Grecnbackers. Landers himself work-
ihg at the polls all ~day. . This is to be ac-
countedvfor in a way which will not please
the honest Greenback men of the State. On
their State ticket they have placed as can-
didate for Treasurer, Mr. Judd of New
Britian. Mr. Lamberts’ son married J udd’s
daughter, and because 'of this reliitiouship
it is evident that Judd will do all he can to
to help Lenders, and thus betray Davis, the
candidate of his own party for Congressman.
Probably the Greenback State Committee
do not know anything about this little New
Britian-arraugement. But outside of New
.Britian, in some towns in 'this district the
vote cast will be larger undoubtedly, than
it was at the town election. The leaders
expect to be able to elect enough members
of the Legislature to hold the balance of
power in that body on the United States
Senatorship, and also on the State ticket,
if‘therc is no election by the people. Their
candidate for Senator will be Hon. Francis
B. Loomis, of NcwILondon, who refused to
be nominated on the Democratic ticket for
Lieutenant-Governor » this Fall, and did so
for the purpose of solidly identifying him-
sélf with the Grecnbackers. The vote of
the party in the State, though it may fall
off from 8,000 to 4,000 or 5,000, will with
the other scattering votes for Temperance
candidates, probably pretent an election of
State officers by the people, and hence the
importance of carrying the Legislature, as
between the Republicans and Democrats,
not only hinges upon the United States
Senatorship, but upon a reasonable proba-
ability that the Governor and State officers
may be elected by it. Both parties will
work in the towns to secure Representatives
and Barnum’s money and mules will figure
conspicuously. Naturally, the State is Re-
him this year. in so. bad a predicament po

that the defects in the Adelphi boiler would
have been discovered, if the inspector had
performed his duty. ' ’

lovely woman became an implement of crime
.thecaseis thus immortalized by the Cleve:
land Leader: There was a boy in that town
named Daley. The boy had a dog, which
be was accustomed to take with him on his
daily excursions to certain suburban pasture
_ fledsfo drive ironic t'ic cows. 0n the 61h
instant young Diley found, on his way in
. the pasture, somt thing white and ruffled and
mysterious. He did not know what it was,
but it was to beautiful to throw away, and
the happy thought struck him that it might
.be intended as an ornamental portable awn-
; mg for a dog. So he called his dog and tied
. the gay device around its body just behind
the forciegs. This held the wavy frills of
. the tournure aloft like a canopy. Thus
caparisoned the dog pranced along gaily in
front of his master to where the cows were
quietly grazing in the field. Immediately
there was wild commotion. The cows knew
in a general way'something about dogs, but
in animal half dog and half bird, with a
towering banner of whalebone and wire and
muslin floatingin the summer wind, was to
them a new and terrifying spectacle. They
eyed the approachingterror a moment, then
tossed their heads, turned tail and- broke in
a wild stampede for town. The frantic herd
burst from the end of the lane into the main
road just as a grave and serious ex-miuister
of the gospel—whose sands of life had nearly
run, etc—came driving along. Him the
cows heeded not. The dog with his phe-
nomenal attachment waving up anddown
was behind, and they cared for nothing in
front. One jumped across between the
' - horse and the vehicle, two others dashed
. IL’agsinst the wheels, capsized the elder into a'
'7 ‘dtteh full of muddy water, and left the buggy
’<'_staudiug on its beam ends with two wheels
' in the air. Then the horse caught sight (it

vehicle to atoms and distributing it along

carried the village like an invading army,
and sucb2was the terror and surprise of the
, people that they have since done little else
bfi talk about it. The minister crawled out
of the ditch and began legal proceedings
against the boy, who came into town by a
side street and slipped up the back stairs
supperless to bed. The dog with the bustle
saw that he had overdone the thing and crept
under a barn. The problem that absorbs
Evanston is where to classify the crime of
that boy under the statutes of Illinois.
While dishonest men around us, who have
abhsed and betrayed confidence and specu-
lhted with other people’s money, are jgisti-
fyiug themselves, claiming that thejghhve
done no wrong, that they have douefsmwcll
as they could, that they intended no harm,
no evil, andare showing an utter abiieiioe
of conScieuce and principle, it is a relief and
refreshment to read such words. ascamo
from the lips of ex-Goveruor Bishop of
Ohio, of the house of R. M. Bishop & 00.,
of Cincinnati. By‘ the shrinkage in .the
value of real estate and of stock, and by
losses through the failure of other houses,
this old and respectable firm has» been com.
pelled to suspend and go into liquidation.
Afther giving causes of their failure to a
reporter, exGoveruor Bishop said; “I can-
uot at present state what our actual assets
will be, but they will go very far toward
paying our liabilities. If this can be done I ‘
am satisfied, for the present is certainly the
mosttrying moment of my life. My suffep
ing is certain' ly greater than that of any man
I owe, and my greatest desire and ambitidn
is to prevent anybody losing through me. I
will give up every thing except my reputa-
tion and houo ." These are. noble-words.—

Sir Wilfrid Lawson, at an Isrisnliurai

effect of hard times- ou farmers: “One
Scotch farmer had determined, in spite of
the hard times, to pay this rent if‘it: were
his last shilling, and saying to the factor
who received it, ‘It is my last shilling: he
threw down a role of notes. The factor
counted. them, and said, ‘There is £50 too
much.’ ‘Odds, muu,’ said the farmer,’ ‘I
put my hand in the wrong pocket.’ ”
