BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTION +!

The Locofoco leaders loue the Germans and
the Irish dearly just before an election, but just
after it they are apt to turn their love to hatred.
The Ohio State Journal has the following on this
subject:
"In this city, on small scale, we see what
may be expected throughout the State and coun-
try. Many of the Germans voted, on Tuesday,
according to their henest convictions, and not as
expected and demanded by the demagogues who
seek 10 make use of them. Since the election
they have been denounced without measure by
the very men who smiled and fawned on them
while they had hope of securing their votes.
Before the election they could speak very bland
ly of "the honest Germans )" now, with scorn
and disgust on every feature, they speak of the
/" Black Dutch of the South Ward. In view of
such things several have already left them, and
pledged themselves for Harry of the West" on
the lst of November ("

We have never seen, heard, or read of any
thing in the annals of political depravity which
surpasses the following extract from circular is
sued from this city by the Locofoco Executive
Committee. and spread over the country under the
frank of. Senator Walker. Will virtuous, en-
lightened people, support party which resorts to
such base and despicabe means to secure sue
cess? Will honest men, of any party, sanction
the morality of this circular, issued from the me-
tropols of the nation, by the authorized represent
tatiyes of the Locofoco party! 1t will be seen
that the circular presumes that the Wings will
resort to the infamous arts of bribery which are
practsed by the Locofocos, and insultingly ad-
vises the honest electors of the country TO take
bride from the Wings, and then vote the Locofo-
CO ticket. We put it to any man of common I'M
Outstanding to say if the profer of such advice
does not presuppose that the persons to whom it
sane man if he would dare TO give such advice to
men whom he thought honest, or capable of re-
sentiment? Yet base and Infamous as it is, it is
the advice of the Locofoco Executive Committee
of Washington to the people of the United States,
and goes forth under the frank and sanction of
Senator Walker. 1t is an appeal to their friends
and partsans to commit double treachery-treach-
cry to their country in taking the bride, and
treachery to the party which they allege will Of
fer it. But no honorable Wing will offer to bride
the people. 1t is ony mean, base suspicion on
the part Of the Executive Committee of the Loco
foco party, originating in their knowledge Of the
corrupt practices of their own party. We call
upon all honest men, Of whatever party to set the
seal of infamy upon this nefarious circular, and
the low, mean, corrupting advice which it insult

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
Extraordinary Express from the Whole State.
EXTRA HERALD.
To be Published This Day.

We expect TO receive at this office to-day al two
O'Clock, by the New Haven steamer sooner or la
ter, by an Extraordinary Express from the interior
of Connecticut, the aggregate returns OF the whole
State, sufficient to show how the election that was
held Yesterday, went-whether for the wings or
for the democrats.
Some meagre and imperfect returns of two or
three counties may be published elsewhere this
morning, but nothing that can be relied upon as in.
dicating the exact result.
II the election should be very close, the express
to arrive at o'clock may not be even sufficient 10
give the exact result. In such a contingency, W e
have also made arrangements for second Express
to run all the oay through by horses, TO enable
us to publish the full results Tomorrow morning.
We believe that neither of the two parties
wings or democrats-have made such arrange
ments as we have made, or can compete with us
in bringing the first intelligence to New York
They have been so much engaged in cheating each
other-in telling lies each other-that they
have neither time nor sense to collect the anthem
tic intelligence of their own results. We have I'M
dertaken this special business at our own expense
and for the benefit of the two great parties
throughout the country, who are standing with
open mouths, like long string of blockheads, from
Connecticut to New Orleans, each waiting and ex-
pectng their own party to beat.
News boys would do well to attend and to take
care of their money. The EXTRA HERALD
will surpass all others-a other extras are useless
full of lies-nonsense- wing or democra-
tic fustian that means nothing. The EXTR A
HERALD alone tells the whole truth on both
sides.

1t thus appears that the "men in buckram," or
those who voted in the spring and disappeared in
the fall, amounted to 1870, or nearly 1000 more
votes than the whole number poled in the year
1900, when this city decided the Presidential cleo
ton in favor of Jefferson and the Democratic party.
We come to the accurate conclusion that about
5000 Democrats and $3.50 Wings voted the Native
American ticket last fall. OF course, the "men
in buckram," were 1904 Democratic and 1865 Wing
votes. 1t should be remembered that the Wings
had possession of the City government and the
Aims House in the spring, which advantages
the Democrats possessed in the fall. Starting
from this "vantage ground" we think there is
every prospect for the natives to agltate and agi-
tate up to this day week. lf they sufficiently
awaken the people, the chances are that they will
draw off double the number of democratic votes
which they did last year, and thus secure the cleo
ton in opposition to the " hunke.s and hypocrics'
of Tammany Hail. who affect now-God save the
mark.-to be in favor of City Reform in all it's
branches. Go ahead
