CoNNEcT1CUT ELECTION. The Denis.
are chuckling considerably over the
Connecticut election. This, we sup
pose, they have perfect right to do.
1t is SO long since they had victory
to boast of that they make the very
most of it. Crow away, gentlemen
please bear in mind, however, that
you have only put to Republican
victories in Connecticut, not n. Fan
from it,
The net majority for Congressmer
is about eighteen hundred. p. L
Barnum is defeated by about six hun

PEELED from the Senate. The Boston
