OUR DELEGATION IN CONGRESS.

egation in Congress has not been politically divided
since the State was apportiOned into congressional
districts. In 1897 the first year in which members Of
Congress chosen by Districts the Locos carried
all their candidates by puraltles o. from 76 to $685.
The first number Mr.. Toucey's plurality over
M. Trumbull, in this district; and the last Mr.. Whit
tlesey's over Mr.. Tomlinson, in Fairfield county.
In 1889, the Wings elected all the members by plu~
ralities varying from l26 to ll54.
In ls4l, the Wings again succeeded in all the dis
tricts by large pluraltes-Mr. Trumbul, in the first
district, having the highest (l275) and Mr. William,
t in the New London district, the lowest, 1861
! This spring another change has taken place, and
the LOcos have carried the entire delegation reduced
from six to four under the new apportionment]-
of the MEMBERS however. by puralites Of lessprob
ably, than one hundred. If majority had been re-
qusite to elect, there would have been choice only
in the third district, composed of New London and
Wndham counties, where the candidate of our oppo-
nents has a plurality of over 10Oo.
Since the State has been distrcted, the Locos have
succeeded twice. and the Wings twice. We are now
even-and 1.-THE next trial our turn will again come
round. With good Wing at the heidi of the Gem
eral Government in ls45, Connecticut will send a
! delegation to Washington which will sustain his ado
minstraton by anunbroken 'front.'
The Wing party in this StateSRhough not triumph
ant has sustained itself molly. Their organization 10
preserved-their vote has been greatly increased
since last year, and they ready to do their duty i'm
future. A noble undetermined spirit pervades henp
Those who this year have given their votes in support
OF correct principles may always be relied on. The
energy and enthusiasm WITH which the Presidential
election will be conducted cannot fail to increase the
ctr hv
that Connecticut will then cast her vote for the Wing
candidate.
We say then to our friends, Be ofgood courage"
Another year of loco foco misrue must be submt,ed
to, but change will soon come. Even now we have
done much. AT the worst we shall be relieved from
the bondage Of ocoocoism at the Presidential cleo.

and Congress against u.s. we cannot be charged with
causing the distress Of the country, and in less than
two years. the people will be satisfied with 'ocofoco
