THE ELECTI0NS-GL REPUB-
LICAN VICTORIES.
Most of our readers will have been appraised
of the result of the election in Connecticut on
Monday week, before the present issue OF the
Era reaches them. We confess that we have
been most agreeably disappointed. The most
strenuous efforts had been made by the Admin
istration to carry the State, and it was aided in
its efforts by treacherous pretenders to Repab-
licanism, or by Americans and "Whigs
who were determined to dictate their own terms
enemy. To this end, independent" candi-
dates were put in nomination, who drew off
some hundreds of votes, which would otherwise
have been cast for the Republican nominees.
But so decidedly does the current of popular
sentiment set against the corrupt and pro-Sla-
very character of the Administration, that all
these efforts and intrigues failed of success.
Connecticut has been redeemed. The whole
delegation in Congress is now Republican, being
gain of two, and substitution of a genuine
man in the first district in place of Clark, who
never had much sympathy with our cause.
In the first district, Loomis, Republican, is
elected by plurality of IS votes. Clark only
received 2l6 votes, which, but for his fruit
less opposition, would have been added to
the Republican majority. In the second dis
trict Woodruff, Republican, received clear
majority of 264 over both his competitors. Bald
win received only SO votes. Third district, Burn
ham, Republican, was elected by majority
over both his opponents of 407 votes. Dean,
the other member, received 203 votes. Mr..
Dean is absent from the country, and it is said
that he was opposed to the use of his name.
In the fourth district Ferry, Republican, is
elected by 564 majority, over Bishop, the late
member.
The State Senate will stand l3 Republicans
to ADMINISTRATORS. The House, Us Re-
publicans to 100 Administration, and one indie
pendent.
RHODE IsLAND.-In Rhode Island, the result
of the election which took place on Wednesday
of last week shows the overwhelming strength
of the Republican element; but unfortunately,
owing to the fact that two Republican candidates
were in the field in one district, no choice was
made. The law in that State requires that an
absolute majority shall be necessary to elect at
the first trial The effect of this failure to
choose Representative in one of the districts
WILL produce no evil result to the general cause,
as there is no possible chance for the election of
disciple of Black Democracy. We had hoped
that all Republicans would unite in support of
Mr.. Davis.
The result is as follows;
Thomas G. Turner, is elected Governor /;
John r. Bartlett, Secretary of State and Je-
rome B. Kimball, Attorney General. They are
on both the American and Republican tickets.
There is no choice for Lieutenant Governor
and General Treasurer
In the Eastern Congressional district there
is no choice. The vote stands Robinson,
American Republican, 3,797; Davis, Repubh-
can, 2,422; Arnold, Democrat, 1872. Robinson
leads in every town but two.
In the Western Congressional district, Bray
ton, who was supported by the American-Re
publicans and Republicans, is elected The
vote is BraytOn, 1916; Anthony, Democrat,
700.
ST. LOUIS Another glorious Republican
victory has been won on slave soil This re.
suit demonstrates the truth of the charges Of
fraud and corruption by which Barrett was re-
turned last August as member of the House
of Representatives, in place of Mr.. Blair.
The success of the Republicans at the city
election in st. Louis on Monday is most com
plete. o. d. Filley, Republican, native of
Connecticut, is reelected Mayor by 5000 plu-
rality over the Democratic candidate, and
1900 over the American. The Republicans
carry also all the rest of the city ticket, and a
large majority of the common council.
