Certainly no body was offended. There's a lot more money In Hartford now that there was in. 1800; there is also a much just er appreciation of William Jennings ftryan.

' . .'tt T but ho wouldn't have any longer been known as a republican. But 1890 was eleven years ago. Bryan was called a "radical" then and men "viewed" him with curiosity, locking their strong boxes first and hanging onto their pockets as they looked. ' Today some people call Mr. Bryan a "conservative" and nobody is afraid of him. Governor Woodruff sent him a cor dial letter of invitation to visit the state capltol and every republican of the house and senate voted for a reso lution asking him to address the gen eral assembly in "joint session con vened." Is the Bryan of today the same Bryan the students hooted, republicans shunned and thousands of democrats deserted In 1890? Has something happened to Mr. Bryan? Or has something happened to a lot of other 'people? Has republican sentiment and demo cratic sentiment changed, or has the Hon. Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport mypnotlzed Governor Woodruff, the senate, the house and the "whole blooming business," as George M. Clark of Haddam would say? Mr. Biyan was received with honor, Mr. Gunn of Milford, who took the stump against him eleven years ago, noted as a ticket seller for the Bryan banquet, and Governor Woodruff gave the conquering "Prince of Peace" his rooms in the Garde hotel. Perhaps Mr. Bryan, all alone in his own room, didn't snicker today. If he didn't he must have supreme control over his feelings. New Haven Leader. Tired but cheery, Mr. Bryan was human and humorous throughout his too short visit to Hartford yesterday, and that made his presence thorough ly delightful for all those who met him. Even in the printed word, where the sole charm is in what he said, and not in the genial skill with which he said 4t, we think that those who peruse his Garde hotel speech will find their full reward. Mr. Bryan has ripened wonderfully; and the attitude of an ob servant citizen of the world, with un derlying political tendencies, which he took here, has become wholly natural to him, and is wholly charming in any case. We hope that Hartford pleased him as much as he pleased Hartford. Hartford Courant. byists! How long will Connecticut stand for this?" '" Such words from the lips of a chief magistrate whom the people respect, have not dropped void and inert to the ground. Governor Woodruff thinks they will be remembered when tho delegates to the republican state con vention are chosen, and we hope he is right. Everybody concerned may he entirely sure that Connecticut's, electo rate will remember them on election day. Long before that the speech made at New Haven last evening will have been read by every Intelligent voter in the eight counties. "Tho .time is coming," said Mr. Bryan at the cap ital yesterday, "when an indignant people will say that politics must be honest." Coming It is, to a certainty; In Connecticut it is now almost at the door. We have just quoted an eloquent American of these years; the date at the top of the page recalls a very elo quent, very noble American of other years, and his words may well go to the freemen of Connecticut with Gov ernor Woodruff's words and Mr. Bry an's. "Wherever party spirit shall strain the ancient guarantees of free dom," said George William. Curtis on un earlier April 19; "or bigotry and ig norance shall lay their fatal hands up on education; or the arrogance of caste shall strike at equal' rights; or corrup tion shall poison the very springs of national life there, minute-men of liberty, are your Lexington Green and Concord Bridge; and, as you love your country and your kind, and would have your children rise up and call you blessed, spare not the enemy!" Hart ford Courant. THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH Connecticut political conditions are not the same this morning they were yesterday morning. Something of very serious import with far-reaching con sequences in it has occurred in Con necticut. An nonest governor, thwart ed and mocked In his Unselfish efforts for the people's good, has done what Hughes of New York said he would do in like case; he has turned, directly and fearlessly, to the people. Such a speech as Rollin S. Woodruff made at New Haven last nicht is an absolutely new thing in the state's experience, but when was there ever before such occasion and provocation for it? The governor was far too much in earnest List night to smooth and soften his words; they have a sledgehammer blnntness and impact". He tells the people of Connecticut plainly that the present general as sembly with, as he believes, a major ity of honest, well-meaning, men in it -is controlled by the "leaders" and the lobby and the forces of graft and private profit in the background, issu ing orders to both. He tells them that the session so far has been a juggling with legislation. He tells them that ho despairs of the enactment at tills time of a single law in their interest. "What a deplorable spectacle is pre sented to our view," he exclaims, "of the lawmaking power of this common wealth paralyzed by the grip of lob- MR. .BRYAN'S SERMON ' , .
