The Governorship.
A prominent politician,cne who seems
to be in the inner circle of politics and
and not on the edge, said to the writer
the other day that Porter would get the
nomination for Governor. . We were
inclined to doubt this asaertion, for the
impression among those on the surface
in politics seems to be that Cooke 'will
be the choice of the convention.—
Greenwich Graphic.
Surface indications justify “The
Graphic” in its im’pressions, but the
friends of Porter are certainly the most
active and profess to be entirely confi-
dent of his success in securing the nom-
ination. A few hours now will defi-
nitely set:le the contest and whichever
candidate wins, nothing but credit will
come to our state.
Meantime it is of interes‘ to read the
Views of those who are closely watch-
ing the progress of the'friendly rivalry
between the two candidates. Yester-
day’s N.’ Y. Herald’s won informed
New Haven correspondent, gives the
following view of the situation:
“The friends of Cooke and Porter,
the rival candidates for Governor, are
also wondering whether Mr. Fessenden
intends to cease all interest in that
If he selects either for a la-

struggle.
vorite it ought to be Porter.
The forces back of the Winsted candi-
date belong to the state machine which,
without doubt, is the most selfish and
arbitrary organiz itiou ever known in
Connecticut politics. It is composed
of some of the most notorious lobbyists
in the State, who are in turn, for some
reason that must be purely persm'al 1n
its inspiration,,supported lav the: ultra-
respectables of the party. _While there.
are no grounds, other than the man’s
amiability, to “believe that if elected
Governor, Mr. Cooke would be the-in-
strument of the lobby, the association
is such a strange and ill-assorted one
that it may at the last moment cost him
a. nomination, which at this ‘ writing
seems to be in his grasp.
Mr. Porter’s campaign has until the
past ten days lacked organization and
courage.
His defeat in his own town of Pom-
fret, though it is now clear that that
was brought about by shady methods,
seemed necessary to stir him and his
backers up. Had it occurred a month
earlier hefwould have landed the nomi-
nation with a three ounce rod. As it is
now, his opponents are not as boastful
as they were two weeks ago. They are
prophesying less and hus‘ling more.
Cooke has more delegates pledged,
apparently, than Porter, but Porter
already represents, by hls support in
the cities, more voters than Cooke,
with 'a fighting chance to win over the
‘uninstructed the eyening before and
and the morning of the Chuvention.
Should he succeed he will havc't )ppled
the machine outside the breastworks
for good and. all. Porter as Governor
would break up' the lobby convention._
His v1ctory in Hartford was a great
compensation for his overthrow in
Pomfret.‘ It was there that the entire
weight" of the machine was pitted
against‘him. His control of the caucus
Was complete, and when the result was
announced it was found he had rented
his enemies in true Napoleonic style.
They werechagrined beyond measure
at the prospect of New Haven and Hart-
ford, representing the vested wealth
and manufacturing interests of Con-
necticut presenting a solid front for
him' in the Convention, with supporters
from every city except Bridgeport. It
was a splendidly achieved coup d’etat.
Grosvenor, of Pomfrct, is’a candidate
for Comptroller. He is the mail who
stole the delegation of the town. from
Porter by methods which are universe
ally dis 1pproved. That the friends .Of
the latter will use everyiendeavor to aid
Comptroller Mead, of Greehwich, for a
Ienomination would seem to be the
reasoning of good politics.
However this little comedy unfolds
itself one thing is sure, and that is that
the Connecticut RepublicanlConvention'
for 1896 is to 'be an entertaining afi'air,
fworth purchasing a seatiin the gallery
to watch.”
