1888. was defeated, and in 1890 was

His election was contested and Her-

resulted in a deadlock between the
two houses in the general a-ombly
and there followed a lap-emf two
years without legislation on any
subject. Party feeling ran high dur-
ing the occurences and it has been
said that it: was only through tho
exertion of his influences by Luzon
8. Morris that an actual conflict of»
arms at the state capital was avert-
ed.

In 1883. Mr. Morris polled 75,011
votes to 73.659 for the late Morgan
G. Bulkelcy. The law then required
majority of the votes cast. In that
year there were 4.631 Prohibitionist
votes and 263 Labor. The election
was thrown into the Legislature,
which. being Republican. ignored the
popular mandate and seated Gover-
nor Bulkeley.
At the following election in 1890
Governor Morris defeated Samuel E.
Merwin in the popular vote. securing
167.658 votes to 63.975 for Mcrwin.
Again the Prohibition'vote. amount-
ing to 3.413. kept him from a ma-
jority over all. Again the election
was thrown into the Legislature,
which, being deadlocked between the
parties. was unable to elect and Gov-
erner Bulkeley held over. It was at
this time thatthe incidents were en-
acted which gave Governor Bulke—
Iey his sobriquet of "the crowbar
governor."
In 1892 the democracy again pinn~
ed its faith upon Governor Morris.
This time he had not merely s plur-
aiity. but a majority over all. in spite
of the fact that there were 3.927
Prohibitionist votes. 773 Populist
and 317 Socialist. Governor Morris's
vote was $2,187 and Merwin‘s 76,-
745.
Charles G. Morris prepared at. the

In Yale he became prominent in ath-
letics and won the Ford trophy prize
twice for single sculling. He also

misti' 'c Over Trade in
New England
George H. Woods. president of

was a guest for lunCheon a: the
home of Charles H. Harris. lecal
glass manufacturer, yesterday. ex-
pressed himself as being extremely
optimistic over the business outlook
for New England.
Citing his own bank as an example
hé said that deposits were never so
high. His savings bank shows a
10 per cent. increase over figures at
the height of the boom when Bridge-
port was making munitions.
This he considered as truly re-
markable when the greatly increased
population of Bridgeport at that
time is‘baken into account.
It is Mr. \Vood's opinion that
New’Engiand has entirely recovered
from the period of depression which
was prevalent in various sections of
the country. He praised the spirit
of Bridgeport as an outstanding ex-
ample of community enterprise and
success.
Mr. Harris showed the banker
through his beautiful estate, Ledge-
wood farm. and extended an invita-
tion to Mr. “’ood and his staff to
visit his home in the near future.
Another visitor at
luncheon was XV. P. Milligan. treas-
urer of The Evening Sentinel.
