Connecticut Election.

the Hartford Times, April L.
ALL Honor TO OLD CoNNEcrIcUT!-The steadfas
democracy of old Connecticut has covered itself with
glory 1t reserved for this State to deal the first
staggering blow upon Taylor whgery. Three out of
four OF the congressional districts redeemed, regenerated
and dlsenthaed from the incubus OF federalism which
has been fastened upon them for the last six years
This tells the story. 1t Is glory enough for one
day, even if there were nothing more in reserve
AS things look now, II may be that the democratic
triumph has been complete in carrying the legislature
as well their Congressman. Such astounding
victory, just after the success SO lately gained by wing
cry at the presidential election, is indeed unexamped in
political history 1t shows that the poor, rotten fabric OF
Taylor federalism is already collapsng and falling TO
pieces from its inherent feebeness and rottenness
II demonstrates, what have often asserted, that iden
hy, so fatal TO whigery, of Taylorism with Tyerism.
Well did the Tribune wofuy exclam, and we'll may the
poor old Courant in this hour of doom for whlgery,
dismay eecho that " 1dyorism has not yet paid its
signal and cutting rebuke to that unprncpled and
communal combination of the odds and ends OF factions,
which, evil day, succeeded in wrestling the of
The national government from the guidance OF glorious
ana patriotic administration.
The FIRST DIsTRICT-The democrats OF the first dis
the! have done noby in securing the election of Loren
Waldo and annhilatng the usual federal majority of
seven hundred in the district composed of Hartford and
holland counties In this town, the number of electors
OF each party who qualified 10 vote for member OF
Congress usually so greater than the number OF those
that the vote for Mr. Chapman in this town, instead
OF being SO more falls about so behind the number given
Tor their first representative the legislature 1t follows,
therefore, that his must have been erased by about
ioo OF hs party in this town. which would make diff
ference OF 200 IN the vote, something more than the
probable majority given for Mr.. Waldo in the district
The young wings and the old bank wings did not draw
together.
The SENATE.The Courant says the 18th, 9th, l1th and
10Th Senate districts have probably gone wing This
