Now for Connecticut.

The close of the campaign in New
IIampahire has given IL fresh impetus to
that i'll Connecticut. and with good rea-
son. The Democrats, having carried the
State last year, entered upon the strfg-
gle with the prestige of success and con
sequent confidence of victory; the Radi-
Gals, having chosen as standard bearer a
gentleman who was selected solely because
ofhis posscssinga superabundancc ofgreen-
backs and supposed willingness to dis
burse them for party purposes, felt quiet
confidence that on the day of election they
would. secure majority of the votes poll
cd. Happily the result in New Hamp-
shire has summoned each party to its
guns. Radicalism realizes that though it
retained its supremacy in the Granite State,
it did SO by the skin of its teeth, having
lost one-sixth of its majority at the cleo
tion in 1867 and Democracy has found
that if it would profit by its victories Of
last year it must be up and doing.
While there are good reasons for believ-
ing that on the 9th of next month the
good people of Connecticut will re-clect
James 4. English Governor, and send to
the State Legislature handsome majority
of Democrats, it is well for them to bear
in mind that this result is not to be at-
tanned without effort. With the exception
of the election in 1867 the Democrats have
not carried Connecticut, since 1856.
To carry this State is no easy matter for
either party. We carried it last year, and
expect to do it next month, but SO desira-
BILE result cannot be accomplished with
out hard work. The Radicals are strain
ing every nerve to wrcst the State from
the good hands in which it now is. They
are about to let loose upon it crowd Of
their most effective stump speakers; they
are flooding it with money; they will man
ufacturc votes wherever they can do so
without detection. 1t bchooves our Demo-
cratic friends IN he on the nlert lLpEd.
