Requisition Refused as Connecticut Governor Row Deepens

A March 5 1891 letter from New York Governor Hill rejects a requisition for Jobe T Colbert's return to New York citing that Morgan G Bulkeley is not Connecticut's lawful governor. Hill brands Bulkeley a usurper and affirms Morris as the de jure governor after election returns and Senate recognition.
