He declined to employ counsel, but would be present himself un- less prevented by official daty.

THE PHILADELPHIA DELEGATES. SPEECH OF RICHARD D. HUBBARD. Review of President Grant’s Administration and the Political Field. HORSE RACES AND BARBECUES HakTForpD, March 28, 1872, There are so many theories as to the political ele- ments now really warring in Connecticut, and such ®@ hubbub of interested misrepresentation that the interview given below between a correspondent of | the HERALD and the republican candidate for re- election, Governor Marshall Jewell, will doubtless be read with interest, It 13 an authoritative state- ment of what ts thought of the contest by at least ono party to the struggle, Governor Jewell 1s a nandsome, hale looking, White-haired gentieman of avout forty-five years of age, with a face that of itself is a sufficient guaran- i tee for his honesty, intelligence, energy and cheer- ful good nature. He 1s a “self-made” man, and though now pretty wealthy, seems to take no little quiet pride in the fagt that his | substance is purely the reward of his own industry and prudence. Though he does not say so himself, it is well known that some of his employés once walked side by side with him, | and I was told only a day or so ago by a gentieman who occupied the same room with him at the Chi- cago Convention that so closely have some of the | habits of his old life clung to him that he can still only sleep soundly when nis shirt sleeves are rolled up above | the elbow, the same as they used to be when he | toiled for a few shillings a day, and when he proba- | bly slept in the same shirt as that which he wore Uhrough the day. In manners and speech, how- ever, he has caught the refinement that belongs to the happier surroundings of the present, and there | are few men in Hartford so uniformly popular with every class of the community, After a little introductory conversation, in tne course of which the Governor said that he was neither a politician by instinct nor by cholce, that he had never held any but his present office in his life, and that he simply held tnat because he thought it was the duty of a good citizen to take an interest in public affairs, and not to shrink from a responsibility to which the voice of the people called him, the following conversation took place:— REPORTER—What do you think are the prospects of the present election, Governor? Governor JEWELL—Our prospects of success have improved every day. In my opinion, the demo- cratic party in this State has lost strength both by its change of candidates and its changv of platform, it has certainly failed this time to arouse this year the enthusiasm of the Bourbon section of qhe party, al of whom have during thé last tei years honestly accepted the enunctations of prin- ciple; put forward tn the platforms of their conven- tions, and who are at a loss to understand the pres- gntchange, On the other hand, the progressives do not believe the party sincere in its present platform, The party all round, thereciore, have not come into the present Canvass with the vigor and compactness and enthusiastic vigor of past years, THE BOURBONS AS LEADERS. RePorTER—What do you regard as the relative strengih, inside tue party, of the old and the new democrats—the Bourbons and the progressives? Governor JEWELL—Tnere can be no doubt that a small minority of our Connecticut democracy would be glad to honestly accept the results of the war. But the party has heretofore been managed by the extreme element, and the bulk of the party, under that leadership, which has been one of great avil- ity, have been educated into the faith that the old doctrines are the only ones to put the country into & satisfactory condition. THE DEMOCRATIC CHANGE OF FRONT. REPORTER—The change of platform has been very sudden, hasn’t it? Governor JzwELt—Up to this year the bulk of the party have openly opposed the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and have believed firmly that the party could only be successful by adhering to the leadership and the principles which guided them in the campaigns during the war. In- deed, they have generally thought that in that’ way alone could the party organization be preserved. Yon must remember, too, that che extreme section has always nearly monopolized the ability of the party. The ablest and most conspicu- ous democrat in the State—a man who might, per- Naps, be called the brains of the Connecticut de- mocracy—Mr. W. W. Eaton, of Hartford, has al- ways belongea to thisextreme wing of tne party. DEMORALIZATION OF THE EXTREMISTS, Rerorrsk—Do you think that the party—this Bourbon majority of it, that 1s—nas been honest in adopting its new platiorm of emancipation, equal rights and the rest of 1tt jovernor JEWELL—i think! not, most decidedly. One of them remarked to me within a coupie of days that he would vote with his eyes shut, So you can easily see that at present there is nothing like crys- tallization or compactness of sentiment within their iines, The party now rests only upon foundations of shifting sand and must soon fall to pieces, The politics of a successful party must be agaressive and its platform must be earnestly be Heved tn if it is to find enthusiastic and successful leadership and get cffictent support from the masses of the people. and that is not in any way the case yi the democracy this spring; at least so it seems 0 me, THE REPUBLICANS A UNIT, REPORTER—And how do the republicans contrast with their foes? Governor JEWELL—So far as this contest is con- cerned our party is a umit. There are no divisions either on local grounds or on onal issues that enter Into this present campaigi We propose to carry the State ticket and secure a majority of the Legisiature, and thus elect a republican as United States Senator. We shall let all questions that properly belong to the future take care of themselves, No candidate for United States Senator is now endorsed by the party, as @ party, and the fight about it be- jongs to the Legislature, most of whom will, in my opinion, take their seats unpledged to one candi- date or the other. And that fight, when tt come: will be sm. honorabie one, and will be conducie witoout personal acrimony: and, in any event, all republicans will abide contentedly by the action of the caucus, Whoever may be the choice, he is cer- tain to be @ sound republican and an honest, good man. NOT A GRANT AND ANTICGRANT FIGHT. RgePoRTER—Then you do not regard the present campaign as involving a fignt between Grant and anti-Grant men? sh Governor JEWELI—Not at all. I do not see how that question can be fairly dragged into the cam- paign. Our convention approved ot the administra- uon, but elected its deiewates to the Philadelphia Convention without exacting any pl @ from them to vote for any particular man, instructed them, on the contrary, to do what they thought best when they got there, Let me say, too, that Connecticut republicans think that the repub- iiean party 13 greater than any man or set of men, and thal we ought to go on and do the work that Stl hes before us, regardiess oi personal considera- tions, And we have no doubt that tne Philadelphia Convention, When it meets, will act with, wisdom. Of course I consider that Convention the obly legiti- mate convention of the party. CONNECTICUT AND CINCINNATI. RerorTer—Have you heard of any delegation going from this State to Cincinnati? Governor JEWELL—I am not aware that any such movement is on foot, or is even contemplated; nor do [think it pronable that any prominent ‘men from Connecticut will take any part in tbat Conven- tion. MORE WORK FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Reroxrer—The platform of the republican party does not now seem to inciude many new issues of importance, does it, Governor? Governor JEWELL—Weil, Of course, the grand duty of the party just at present 1s to make the best use of our past achlevements and to guarantee the tucare against perils, such as those trom which the country has just emerge, thanks to the loyalty and patriotism of the republican party. But I am noi one of those who think that the mission of that party is as yet jully accomplished. There are plent of reforms still to be carried out. For instance, am @ great friend of civil service retorm, which I bdelleve would reileve the government at Washing. | ton from many of ts embarrassments, and which | | am sure would relieve State Governors, like myself, | from constant annoyance [rom the importunities of Ofice seekers. THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE. RerorTeR—Low is it that the temperance folks, who, I nelieve, are almost ali republicans, have thus | year determined to run an Independent ticket? Governor JRWELI—I! don’t think that party likely to be Of serious Lmporteuce In [we eiecliga. The 1+ + publican party is largely a temperance party; but a | Jew of the ex/remists wish to push things further than the great majority are willing to go. ‘There is @ propibitory law now existing in the State, and in many of the towns it 18 rigidly out. In the cities, however, the great cen- tres of population, it 1s impossible to enforce, be- cause you can’t get a jury to convict an offender. What these extreme temperance gentlemen want further is more than I can understand. Nothing can be done further that {can see until they have themselves educated puolic sentiment all over the ‘Stave up to thelr own standpoint; and if they suc- ceed in so doing the law as it stands is ficient for all- purposes of prohibition. THE TEMPERANCE AND LABOR BEFORMERS. REPORTER—W hat 1s your estimate of the strength Of the temperance and labor reform people. Governor JEWELL—I do not see how the two to- gether can poll 1,000 votes, yet their friends claim that they wiil each poll as Many or more than mat. RerorTer—Is there an eight hours’ law yet in this State? Governor JEWELI—No, and 1¢ 18 not asked for even by the labor reformers, In my last peat I asked for further legislation 1a the interest of labor. Idid ft at the request of some laboring men—tne class from which | have myself eprung. REPORTER—Both parties 1n Connecticut are led to & great extent by capitalists, are they not? Governor JEWELL—Yes, many Of the leaders of each bingy Ho jarge employers of labor, There are Barnum, Wheeler, English and Bishop on the demo- cratic side, The relative position of both parties to the labor reformers in that respect are very simular. REPUBLICANS THE FRIENDS OF LABOR. REPoRTER—Has the republican party ever tried to conciliate the party ot Labor? Governor JEWELL—We have always tried to give them everything in reason that they wanted. I have strongly urged their claims myself for two years—to such an Cars indeed, as to lay myself vpen to some criticis a my own ty. Iwasa laboring man myself and I honestly want to im- Prove theircondition, and if they have wrongs—no matter whether great or small—to right tuem by just legislation, or by public opinion or any other available means, But I must say that I have grave doubts whether the leaders of the so-called “labor party” are all equatly honest in their intentions, Some of then came to me last year and asked me to lend them money to start an organ for the dissemination of their views, They told me that this was simply a business proposal, aod, having looked atit as a business man, Ide- | clined it on the ground that the paper would not pay. That may, perhaps, account somewhat for tueir action at the present time, A WORKING MAN'S GRIEVANCE, REPORTER—Do you kuow of any special grievance that ishoung, men have a just right to complain of Governor JEWRLL—Yes, there is one reform which Irecommended in my last annual message. ‘The as manufacturing laborers, upon an equal Looting with the agricuiturist, who enjoys the benetit of the Homestead law. My recommendation to behalf of this measure, however, was not favorably received by the Legisiature, and the bill was adversely re- ported upon by the committee to which it was referred, PROSPERITY OF THE STATE. Reporter—The general condition of labor in this State, however, compares tavorably, 1 believe, with any otber State, Governor JEWELL—Our laboring population is better oif than that of any State in the Union, not to speak of foreign countries, The State 1s more prosperous than at any previous period of her his- tory, and every branch of industry 1s in @ very flourishing condition, Just as an exumple I may say that the increase oi deposits in our savings banks last year Was about as great as our entire State debt—nearly | 8iX mnillions, And we have also the most orderly and hopeful and apparently contented and law- abiding set of laboring men in the world, Aivhongh we are a great manuiucturing State we very rarely have a strike. -Thanking the Governor for his courtesy the cor- Tespondent of the HERALD then withdrew. How Mr. Hobbard Peeps Into the Cupboard— A Scathing Review of the Administration— The President’s Love for Racing and Bare becues—How the United Staics Should Be Governed=At the Polls. Haxtrorp, Conn., March 28, 1872. At a mecting of the democracy this evening, Wiliam W. Eaton, President, Introduced Mr. Richard D, Hubbard, wuo sata of himself and iis personal relations to the ¢ganvass he had but one thing {to say, He had been saluted with many personal allusions, and he had nothing to say, except that he did not propose to quarrel with his honest Gritles, Fg dig not profess to have gttained to the perfection of d just man made perfect, Some of the accusations he beliévéd to be false and scanda- lous, but he should not attempt thelr contradiction, for 1t 18 an old proverb that “a lle travels in seven league boots,” while he wore very small boots. A bold party press may circulate reports which need not be auswered. Like the philosopher kicked by the jackass, he should not attempt to retaliate by kicking back. Let him gat his thistle and grow lean upon it, Political place is not the criterion of success, It is often the reward of junketing and dealing, and sometimes the use of money. WHAT A CANDIDATE SHOULD BE, Acandidate should not be an office beggar, ora solicitor or purchaser of votes, and he could not become one and would not. It will require something more attractive than office and more terrinie than defeat to swerve him one hair's breadth from this mark, ar adversary represents botn by personal and political friendship the admin- istrauon party—and if he does that he repre- sents a multitude of sins—and tne party have done well to put up such a man to drag their hippodrome, for they say he can drive 100 horses, He congratulated Messrs. Grant, Pomeroy, Morton | & Co, on having so respectable a representative; for having so sleek @n outside for so foul and uuciean a platter. PERSONAL REMARKS ONLY, The contest is not a personal one. If it were you Would take no interest in it. to canter out the offices to brothers-in-law, to Leet & Uo., and to spend a third of ais official year in at- tending horse races or barbacues, and 1s to use the 63,000 offices to reward his friends, and punish his enemies; to fatten Conkling and famish Fenton; if men are to steal their way, like Fenton, to Congress; whether Whittemore and others are to auction o the cadetships or Stokes to swindle the goverument by perjury and forgery; if it be a question ot State ropberies—if this 18 ail the question—then the game ig not worth tne candle, BETTER GO TO CLEANING SEWERS. If that were all, we had better go to cleaning sewers, Or Into some other respectable occupation. The question belore us means different, and ne trusted different things. 1t means the breaking up of the cast 1ron moulds of dead issues; that 1f polite cal parties? necessities they need amputation and the surgery of reform; it means that the administration 1s coverei with ulcers and putrified sores and needs to be taken out of sight and out of smell; 11 means a standard against rob- bers in oftice—if 1t does not mean tos it does not mean anything tor you or me, We need ® purification of the morais in poli. tics, and he repeated it as tne profoundest article of bis political faith. It must begin at the oll8 and reach the administration and offices. We jave got to reform the ballot before we can reform We must drive from the polls every base jurchaser of votes, every ballot box stuffer and every other infamous viper of fraud. It we fail to do this our work of reform 1s but nalf accomplished, The vote is in one sense the private property of the voter, but inthe right sense it is is sacred trust. Ir 1 sell out my vote Isell out the rignt of every other man, and he who is gulity of selling out ns suffrage is guiity of more treason against tne State, and ought to be forever dis{ranchised, and he hoped for a law that would impose perpetual dis- franchisement. He who hath ears to hear tet him hear! CORRUPTION IN VOTING CONNECTED WITH OFFICE. Under preceding administrations an order was issued to the bureans of the Civil service tuat no officer ol the government should levy contributions for party purposes. Gideon Wells signed that order. How is tt now? The charging of blackmail upon | government departments for the purpose of bnyti up States has come to be one of the recognize: conditions of oficial tenure. It ts time there should be an end of this thing, and tho question now before the people means that there shall be achange, Some of the merchants of New York tendered to Andrew Johnson horses and a carriage, and he rejected tne tender, PRESIDENTIAL GIFTS FROM CITIZENS. Now it has become to be one of the accepted con- ditions of office to accept gilts, He did not mean to say that President Grant has been corrupted by g@itts, but he would say that the custom is an evil example, For one tithe of the offences committed during this administration term Sir Francis Brown went from the wovisack to the Tower.

At other places in the vicinity the ground is heaved up im great ridges; large springs have stopped running and others bave broken out, Heavy snow slides occurred in the Sierras, and large rocks rotlea down the mountatn sides, block. ing up the stage road. The shock lasted at inter- vala from twenty minutes past two to half-past six A. M, : At Aurora, Nevada, no damage was done, and at Belmont, Nevada, only a mili machine was thrown down.
