Difference
1859

This difference OF 1859, added to the 1904
polled, is to be set down for the Conservative
strength of Connecticut force sufficiently
numerous to hold the balance of political
power. The inference from all this is, as
there appear to have been but about 200
Conservative votes polled, that the Conserya-
tives staid away from the polls, as their friends
did in New York. The Conservative force,
therefore, is much stronger than we antci-
patcd.
The following paragraph from the Demo-
cratic Sentinel, published at Stamford, will il
lustrate the course probably adopted by the
Conservatives throughout the State
The result shows that the course pursued by the Lo-
CO Focos has been Destructive to the cause Of Demo-
cracy--the Wings have triumphed--they have taken
possession of the strong holds of Democracy
have carried all before them in this section Of the State
This tells that Loco Focoism is not Democracy-that
the people will not submit to the dctaton Of the Times
Regency at Hartford, and their pabe vassas scattered
about the Satehat they not in favor Of the Sub
Treasury BILL and the chnerica scheme Of an exclusive
metallic currency So tatoteram has been the conduct
of the Loco Focos in these parts, toward those who
would 60 all lengths with them, in bringing and
desoation upon the country, that most Of the honest
part Of Democrats, not being organized any pur
pose absentcd themselves from the polls This may
be gathered from the fact that the Wings have given
but few. if any votes than they did last spring,
while the opposition have greatly fallen off. In this
las, spring the Wings poled for Representatives,
on the second day. about 800 aud the Democratic party
some FIVE six less This day, the former gave for
Representatives, 3l5, while the Locos gave only lO6
the Conservatives, as they termed by some,
no ticket Hence conclude, about 200 honest De-
mocrats, Conservatives if you please, did not attend
the polls in this town to-day. e..

CORRESPONDENCE.
New YoRK, April 2. 1888.


DEAR SR:-Not the least extraordinary event of
the times is the recent admissions of the Globe while
describing the character Of the Sub Treasury Bill
This mirror OF semi-offcial consistency denounces
the bill as it passed the Senate in good set terms
declaring the connexon authorized by its provisions
between the political and moneyed power an
"ADuLTERous coNNExloN chich rttiates BOTH" While
this is the language o6ciql Of the organ Of the adm
nistraton-its language confidential is precisely the
reverse According to the latter version those who,
like Messrs. Rives and Tallmadge, and their Con-
sentative colleagues attributed the evil infu-
ences TO the bill of nominations are traitors and
turncoats-and the bill is of all bills the most pure
and unexceptionable! ~@
So reckless are the advocates of the new expedi-
ent that they think it unnecessary to affect virtue
they do not possess; and unblushingly denounce
their scheme, while laborng to faSlen it on the
country.
The true solution Of this apparent enigma may be
found in the means selected to create converts. A
vacancy for an important Office furnishes an unan.
Swerable argument in favor Of any Executive die
tum !; and what care the Su5-serratipcS for popular
sentiment2
With the like consistency the Loco Foco journals
in this State have been driven into the advocacy of
the suspension of the law forbiddng the issuing of
small bills while their columns of few weeks pre-
vious, teemed with abuse of Senator Talmadge for
daring to make the same suggestion. As these pro-
moters of Executive dictaon never retract a calum
ny-he worthy Senator may consider himself read
out of The party, for daring to announce the decree
before the official oracles had "oped their oracular
jaws!"
The same species Of consistency pervades the
greater portion of the leaders of the administration
party, who will berate and repudiae the new scheme
most vocierousy at the Of the streets, while
they enter the Halls of Congress and say to its
most odious provisions Such course of conduct
cannot succeed with people possessing the least
claims to moral feeling. No man with spark of
manhood in his composition will attempt to defend
so revolving want Of all principle.
The whole country will rise upagainst these reck-
less public servants, and they must be overthrown.
To-day, Connecticut elects State officers look for
a total rout of the Loco-focos. Senator Niles may
consider himself superseded, and Senator Smith in
sruced. If the " land Of steady habits" does her
duty, New York will emulate the example.

SENATE--Last year A Wings and Ia Loco-focos.
Total, 81. This year tho Wings have twenty out OF
twenty-one
The above comprises general returns from
every county in the State. By comparing
the votes for Governor in 1887, with those of
1888, il will be seen that there is no actual
increase Of Wing uotes. Last year the Wing
vote was 2l5os-this year it is nearly the
same, viz 2l5l3-an increase of only FIVE
votes. II appears then that the Conservatives
did not uote for The Wigs. 10 show the
strength Of the Conservatives, we have on
ly to subtract from the administration vote of
last year, the vote just given, thus the vote of
1887 was 23SO5
