ResnIt OF the ElectiOn--I arge Re-
publican Gains.


HARTFORD Conn, October 5. -
New Haven gives 919 Democratic
majority, which is more than last
Fall, though less than in the Spring.
The Hartford Time says: In the
scattering returns from various coun-
ties the Democrats gain largely,
showing that If thefe had been gem
eral ticket they would have given
5000 majority. ~ H
The election to- day for town officers
resulted in the success of the Demo-
cratic ticket by 538 majority, which is
about the same as last Spring, count
ing the relative losses and gains of
both parties. -I ~ .sr.ir
The vote appropriafing half mill
lion dollars from the Town Treasury
In aid of two new railroad projects, is
carried by large vote. ln
The result OF the vote for the Con-
necticut Western Road is 4,02S;
against. 319. For the Connecticut VAIL
ley Road, 4,094; against, 515 This
secures the building of both roads.
HARTFORD, October 5.-New Haven
has elected the Democratic tick ct by
917 majority, ag dust 2.253 last Spring,
a Democratic loss of .336 This loss

thus lar, aud large margin of the
towns thus far heard from, show con-
siderable Republican gain Middle
town, which went largely Democratic
last year, elects proportion of the

and other towns show large Republi-
can gains ... .e

anything that would assist in protect
ing the purity of the ballot-box,
demonstrates that all the hue and cry
of the Courier about. having fair elec-
tions is the merest bosh. A fair elec-
tion IS an overwhelming Democratic
defeat, and the Democrats Council
seem to be fully aware of the fact If
the Democrats intend to do nothing
dishonest, why should the Council
object to Offering a reward which
would never have to be paid? But
the suits now pending show that they
don't want fair elections; that they
succeeded by wholesale fraud and
perjury last Spring, and that they in
tend TO retain power by the same in
strumentality they employed to get it
in the first place.
This action of the Council demon
strates to Republicans the necessity
of increased watchfulness and ac-
tivity, They must be prompt to de-
tect, aud bold to punish, fraud when
eYerit is attempted. Two or three
days of active effort is all that is now
required. Will Republicans do their
VIII ole duty, or will they suffer defeat
by Incidence or inlifference?z
The Evansville journal., 1868-10-06

1t will be seen. by the report of the
Council proceedings, that Councilman
JONES introduced a resolution, which
was adopted, recommending that
holiday be granted the Public Schools
on Thursday on account of the Demo-
cratic demonstration, with an amend
nent that the holiday be also extend
ed over friday We venture that no
similar or more inappropriate action
was ever taken by any city authorities.
Themanagement ofthe Public Schools
of the city are. by the laws of the
State, under the exclusive control of
the Board of Trustees. They have
provided a sIanding7rule upon the
subject of Holidays,s.which reads as
follows: -
SECTION 40. The holidays will be
every Saturday, Christmas to New
Years day, inclusive, all Thanksyiv
ing and Fast days Authorized by the
State and General Governments, and
the I'D of February. .
! Beyond this rule the public will
agree it should require extreme and
urgent reasons to goG But recently an
application was madssto the Trustees
to dismiss the schOolsvone day on ac-
count Of the District Fair. It was
decided by them that it would be i'm
possible to do so, bnt that parents
who desired that eirchildren should
attend the Fair, could Keep them out
Of school. Certainly this is as far as
it could be asked that they should go
in favor of a political party. The
privilege of attending the Democratic
Representation will doubtless be ex-
tended to any of the pupils of the
Public Schools, whose parents decide
to keep them out of school on Thurs
day, but we judge that will be as far
as the Trustees will go in the matter.
