0ONNKOTICUE Town ELECTIONS.
Crest Ds-.ocrGssc e~5ns.

From the Hartford Times, October
Nest of the towns in Connecticut held their
annual fall elections lsss MOndsy for the choice
of selecment, town clerk, etc.
Although 10 efforts were made by the Demo
Gratis, there Wss q settled, deBp feeling, among
the voters, that lhe time had come for a change
if the eountryi is TO bs ssved, and this feeling
showed itself IN these little town meetings"
Without concert Of action, withsu. effort, with
scarcely anything ike an organization, the
Democrats spOntAneoUsly turned out and revo-
lutionized g large number Of towns l. is
worthy of note that in many of the towns there
was 5 larger vote out than usual la some
towns the Republicans sent many miles away
.or sbssnt vo.eTs-eYen to the military camps ia
Hartford and Norwich, while nothing of the
kind was done by the Democrats, though they
have quite a. many In the regiments as the Re
publicsns have. One thing ID worthy Of special
nots ia these elections, as aff5rdng = significant
indication of the state of fesliD2 now prevailing
it is the fact that IL large number Of towns
many Republicans openly voted the Democratic
ticket. This wss significant of the now pTevs-
leEt conviction that the country must be saved,
it it is 10 be saved, By the Dsm0crss. These
RspublcaR changes gave ao many Of the towns
gained last Monday
We have endsAvored TO make list Of the
chaBgss from last yesr's elections but ewing 80
tbs imperfect character Of the published returns
last year, and the further fact that a portion Of
the towns voting ast Monday have not YET been
heard from it is impossible TO ob tain at present
any complete table. Enough, however, is
known 80 show that the Democrats in al di
recsons are making gains Of towns thst last
year aud tbs year bsi0re went against them.
From the following table, which embraces eli
The towns yeb heard from, II will be seen that
the gains are going on. i is evident that If the
towns not yet heard Ion bear the same com
psrasiye relation 10 shesa, in the changes ef-
fec.ed, tbs D5mcctsts have gained fly or sixty
towns.
Our letters, from al parts Of the State, speak
tho feeling and determination existing in The
several towns, and Of the Republicans who are
openly voting against their party
