tion was held:
"Connecticut votes to-day. 1.-THE wealth

"We do not eXnort our friends to do
their whole duty. They qoiH do it. We
have been among them and witnessed their
energy and enthusiasm. And we shall be
sorely disappointed if they fail to elect
every man on their State Ticket, with a
majority in either branch of the Legisla-
ture. Governor Hawley, we estimate, will
receive more votes than any candidate. of
any party at any former selection-mor
than any candidate of the Democratic
party at this election.

are desperately contested, and we beg ev-

Connecticut, on Monday, did cover her
self all over with glory. For the first
time in sixteen or eighteen years, she has
elected Democrat Governor. The entire
State ticket is elected by 700 majority.
Three Democratic Congressman are elect
ed by average majorities of 1,SOO! The
average Democratic majority on the
whole ticket is 1.2OoI This is a
victory of the grandest proportions.
The municipal elections of New York and
Pennsylvania first showed Republican de-
cline; then followed the New Hampshire
election, wherein the Republicans fell off
yet more largely, and now Connecticut
and the municipal elections in Ohio where
the Democracy waged discreet and organ
lied opposition, show that the Republican
decline is becoming accelerated. All that
is necessary to procure its speedy over
throw, is for the Democracy to go forward
in their work of organization with. energy
and enthusiasm. Ohio can be redeemed al

every Democrat determine that he viii

There was some dissatisfaction felt by some

allowed to vote. This caused some little

to take advantage of, and were out in full
