A SHORT AKD ACTITE CAXTAM BOsfISEl THE PBOBABLS DEMOCB-ATIC TICKET fPTjBIJCAS CANDIDATES PROSPECTS or the gxKcnojr. frt Owr Owns Cbi'i smsoa, HAETPORA Uoaday. Jan. 31. 1376.

Both political parties In this State bave wisely eoaclnded to bar a short campaign thla Spring. The Democrats have called their convention to meet at Kew-Haveu oa Wedneeeav. Feb. 23, and probably tbo Bepublicaa Convention will be called at Hartford during tbe week following. Both tickets, therefore, will not be fairly before the people till tbe 1st of March, and that will give about a month far active campaign work, which will affjrd time eeoueh tot all the political excitement tbat is needed for diversion from other enterprises in a year that Is to be largely devoted to partisan strife in Connecticut for wo bave not only the Presidential contest to share with other States, hot, nnder tbe new constitutional amendment providing for biennial eleetiona.

another State election will demand aiteatiow in tbe Fall, aad in addition, under the new law of Congress, we are to elect Congressmen in November. Considering this crowding of party work into tbe Centennial year, it is certainly a relief to have the Spring campaign contracted. In previous years ordinarily Spring contest occupied attention fur two or three months, in some years both party conventions having been held in January, and often in tbe earlv part of tbe month. Tbe delay this year is almoet without preoeient, yet the change is a sensible one, not for this year only, but for general application ao long aa both parties adhere to it, because quite aa effective a canvaas can be made in four aa In ten weeks. Tbe wearineaa of a long campaign is sometimes the caose of apathy at the polls, whereas an active interest maintained briskly for a short period tend to aerure a fall vote.

For a few years past the Democrat nave held their convention laat, and 'nave had the benefit of all shortcomings in the Its- publican platform in constructing their own, but now tbey must speak first, and possibly something suggestive may be afforded in their speeches and resolutions. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. Gov. Inceraoll and all his asaociatea on the State ticket will be renominated without a ballot. At a meeting of tbe Slate Committee here last week.

every member ot it. with the exception of Mr. John L. Hunter, of Willimantic, who wilds very little iutluenoe though a hard party worker, was in fsvor of the old ticket. Mr.

Hunter advocate a change throughout, with Hon. B. D. Hubbard, of Hartford, fur Governor. Finding bow hia associates felt, he did not attend tbe session of the committee, though be came to Hartford tor the purpose of being present.

Last year Gov. Ingeraoll would not con sent to run again, and disgruntled some of the faith ful, who thought he had uot acted squarely. Among others who were disturbed were Benjamin Stark and Mayor Waller, of New-London, who in caae a new deal was made, to bring forwar the name ot their townsman Col. a. Looml ca a candidate to bead tho ticket, and tbey called npon Gov.

Ingeraoll some time In ad ranee of the conven tion and obtained from him a positive assurance that he would not run; but when tbey arrived at Hartford, on tbe day before tbe convention, they were met by the comfortable assurance that tbe Governor was in tbe hands of his trirndV and had aaid to Mr. Charles Dorand. of Derby, on tbat day. that he would accept if nomi nared. Thia year, however, Mr.

Ingeraoll makes uo concealment of his desire to be again a candidate. and the necessities of the party are snoh that no new departures dare be undertaken. Some of tbe Governor's 'friends say also thst they propose, in cae he is re-elected, to bring him forward as a candidate for Senator should the Legislature continue Democratic; but.1 do not see, as wan suggested In a previous Utter, bow the party can graciously take up auv candidate against Mr. Bngliah, who, being iu tbe Senate, holds a title of some consequence. THE REPUBLIC AX TICKET.

There is, as yet. do crystaliixatiou of sentiment upon auy of the candidates mentioned in connection witb the ltepubhcan nomination for Governor. Tbe newspapers generally bave avoided expressing any preference, contenting themselves with a mere nieutton of ran ill da tea. Complaint haa been made that in previous years tlie newspapers have run tne conventions, ao that all the delegated had to do was to report witb their credentials and go tbroogh the motions of making a ticket. Absurd as this complaint- ia, the press has indirectly decided to let things alone this year -hud see what the effect will be.

But thia is not wise. Though it may show the Independence of the press, yet it leaves the party at the mercy of manipulators, if such should choose to take the field, tbouzh there doe not seem to be now sny interest large enough to call for anv under-movemont. Generally the effect of newspaper neutrality concerning nomination is bad. Very little good political work can be accomplished without tbe friction of partisanship not servility, but liberal discussion, and a zealous aupport of good and available men, and a canvas of their weak points if tbey have any. Especially is it desirable tbat the newspaper should bave something to say when it is proposed to make an entirely new selection of candidates.

New men must be taken, and if they are. aprons upon a convection withont any previous introduction through tbe newspapers, there is danger tbst even on the dsy of election many reasonably good fellows, who like the Bepublicsn Party on general principles, will be standing around with their hands in their pockets inquiring Who's this that's running for Governor Seasonable advertising is as valuable Id politics as in trsde. The true idea of mercantile advertising is to lamiltarise the public eye with the name of the dealer and the goods be sells. Candidates representing parties id nut be known though they have nothing to sell and everything to buy. There is no startling dilemma, however, in Connecticut as to the probability of naming any man who is not passably well known, yet there are many excellent men who bave never been before tbe public except locally, who if generally known would speedily become popular and available, and the only wsy to bring them out is thiough the press, in some shape cr other.

It they are willing to become candidates and are worthy of it, then tbe newspapers who believe in tbem have, in one sense, a public duty to perform in bringing them out- Tbe candidate most prominently named for Governor are Oliver Hoyt, of Stamford, and Fred erick J. Kingsbury, of Waterbury, with some mention of ex-President Cummtngs, of Weslevan University; Amos S. Treat, of Woodbridge-, Benjamin Douglas, of Allddleiown; Charles Parker, of Meriden, aud some others of less prominence. President Camming seems to be the favorite of the temperance people, and it ia not improbable that he will be nominated by tbe Prohibitionists at to-morrow at Middletown but the Republican Party will not take hold of prohibition at this late day after over twenty year of failure In prohibitory legislation in Connecticut, followed by a fair success nnder a local option law which is now nnder trial. Mr.

Treat is a pronounced Bepublicaa, and has been nanv times a member of the Legislature and once Speaker of tbe House. Mr. Douglas la a large manufacturer, and was Lieutenant Governor with Gov. Buckingham one year during tbe war. Mr.

Parker is also a leading manufacturer, and ba been prominent in temperance work. When air. Hart's name- was suggested a few weeks ago bo promptly declined to allow It to be used because ot hia business engagements la New-York, and though some of his friends nsve tried to prevail unon bim to run, at laat accounts be still refused. Quite as prominently brought forwsrd and at about tbe same time was the name of Mr. Kingsbnry.

and it ba bad a favorable reception in various parts of tbe State. If tbat portion of New-Haven County where ba lives should support him in the convention he would at once become a formidable candidate, and would make aa excellent one before tbe people. But 1 do not pre land to aay tbat aay single one of the gentlemea named will be nominated. It may bo a aew man altogether. THIRD AXO POCRTH PARTIES.

Tbe Prohibition iats will, of course, have an independent ticket ia the field, but this party showed a falling off ia strength last year aad haa evidently made tbo boat showing it an. It weakens the more tbat both of tho regular partiae give It a severe letting alga." It waa orgaaiaed originally, a few year age, "to punish tha Benabbeaa as its ant He threat, halpiag imtterlslry to give the Lachfr larnre to the Deaaocrata sad scad two Pom or tie Basstots af tbs Boar boa kind ta Washington ta pine of Sens tecs Baekingtoa sad Ferry, waa wars both practical temporal men but not Prohihltioav lats. Alt it ba accomplished practically ba been to further the interests of the ram Democracy, and aa men eome ta see thia those who have been led Into tho movement under fal-ie colors are getting our, and (hi accounts for ths growing weakness of tbs organuatlbSL A fourth aarty la swemieed under ths lead of sun dry greenback clubs, which have sprang un in am of the larger places. It is th of the mana gers of this movement. I understand, to communi cate witb both of tbe regular party eonveatione and ask for soma recognition ot tbo anft-mdoey theory in the platform, and, ia ease of refusal, td go ahead and make an Independent fight for the rag-baby.

The fact Is that there ars a great namber ot Demo xrats la this State (oined to this movement, snd few Republican also, but only a few and If a low party organisation is formed, tb effjet wHl be to draw from tbo Democracy quite aa many a tb Republican wHl lose by tbe temperance movement. PROSPECTS OP THE ELECTION. Of course the chances of success lie with tbe party tbat baa possession to-day of the State Government, ret these chances may be overcome by msking the most of all opportunities. Under tbe very worst discouragements the Republicans have done exceed ingly welt, when it- aeemed as if twenty-five per cent, almost of their vote most bave been basarded. The party is outliving its sectional Jealousies, which bave been bitter, snd with those out of the wsy one great disturbing cause of disaster will be removed.

There is a grand opportunity this Spring to make a ticket acceptable to all sections, for no feeling baa been aroused ou locality iaauea, and if this can be done there a possibility of carrying the State upon It In April, and a certainty, almost, if then defeated, of making a victorious fight In Novemlier. Nomination now should be made with reference to tbe Fall campaign. The value of a strong State ticket is not confined to its own pros pects of success, but concern the redemption of the Legislature, as the effect of the State ticket to bring oat a pure party vote or keep it backward control In the success or defeat of Representatives in doubtful towns. The margin by which tb Democrats have obtained control of tbe Legislator is so small, aa reckoned on a count of their majorities in close towns, as to appear inaigniflcant. I think a change of about five hundred vote laat year would have given the bouse to the Republicans.

The importance of an influential State ticket to bring out tbe full local strength of the party is theiefore apparent; for, with the party vote secure, candidate for the Legislature, if themselves popular, can sod to that vote, and in a snug contest, stand an even chance at least of coming out ahead. There ia certainly nothing In the situation which is not more encouraging than It has been for several years. The conduct of the Democrats at Washington haa stirred up tbe dormant Republicanism of the State, and excited a fresh enthusiasm among those who hsve kept np a warm party interest all along, and now all depends upon good Judgment id naming csndidates and keeping siliy resolutions and foolish speeches out of the convention. APPEALS FOB THE POOR. st.

johx's guild must close its doors in less more money is received. Yesterday luorniu every available spot in tbe oflices of St. John's Guild. No. Vaiick street, waa filled with pmr people, and the line of ahivering wretches extended far down the street.

It was noticeable that many of theae people bore the appearance of having seen better days. People who, year or two ago, were accustomed to their luxuries now are without food or fire, dependent from week to week Upon public generosity. Tbey are fonud by the visitors of the Guild and their cases are made known at head-quarters, tor they rarely make complaint or their own accord.

Not a few of the remedies prescribed by him bave. It is said, been adopted and prescribed by physicians In their private practice.

His pamphleta and larger works bave been received as useful contribution to medi cal knowledge.
