The Glorious Victory I'm COnnecti-
icut--The Ticket Elected--The
Vote Since 1850.

The glorious tidings that sped from the
East to the West on the; night Of the 9Th
inst., thrilled the hearts of the People
with joy. aGonuec.icut Dmocratio by au
increased majority" s. Fs5
What better evidence to the mad men,
now controlling this Government require,
than this news from the East, that they
have been tried, condemned and sentenc-
ed. The following is the victorious
ticket:
For Governor,
JAMES E. ENGLISH, of New Haven.
For Lieutencnt Governor,
EpHRAIM Fl. HYDE, of Stafford.
For Secretary of State,
3 EEvERETT e. PEAsE, of Somers.
For Treasurer,
EDWARD S. .MosELY, of Hampton.
Fer Comptroller,
JESSE OLNEY, of Stratford.
Annexed is the vote Of Connecticut for

Pend1et0n's and Grants Prestige
Compared.

Previous to the State elections in New
Hampshire and Connecticut the Radical
State Conventions indorsed Gen. Grant
for President, expecting that the prestige
Of his name would carry them through
with whirl. - ..'.i,.
In New Hampshire the Radical ma
jority in 1867 was 8, LAG. In 1868 Grants
prestige reducedit to 2,48s. a loss of 658.
In Connecticut the Democratic major
ity in 1867 was 987. In 1868 it was 1,781.
A Democratic gain of 794. Thus we
have the most conclusive evidence that
the name os GEORGE H. sIPENDLEroN
nerves the Democracy to work as they
never worked before; while that Of Grant
acts as wet blanket upon the hopes Of
Radicalism; he is dead weight, and one
that the Democracy desire the Radicals
to nominate.

The laboring man, from the sweat of
whose brows is wrung the gold to pay
that interest, naturally inquiries: why
not pay the whole of the interest in
greenbacks instead of only 1891, 1885, $50
Why not pay the bondholders their in
terest on 81, ,s44,44o, ,s41 80 ingreenbaoks
instead of gold at 1492"
We will explain that in few words.
The Bondholders bought their Bonds
with greenbacks, worth at the time Of
purchase from forty to fifty cents on the
dollar; and now when they are worth
seventy-two cents on the dollar they ex-
claim: ave don't want your "rags,r we
want gold; we own the capital, and gold
wewill have. Itbrings us double in the
market" 9e

the people are groaning, amounts to the

So, q lecturer "a Portlend, Maine,
or somewhere else, was explaining to
o little girl how q. lobster cast his
shell when he had outgrown it. Said
he, What do you do when yon have
goutgtown your clothes2 You cast
them aside, do you not?'' "Oh,
no, : replied the little one, 1--WE let
out the Itucks."
ia Again Q teecler Tsas explaining TO
a little girl the meaning of the cuticle.
What is tthatlel1 over my face and
hands" said he. "Its freckles, sir, !"
answered the little chernb. II, 4, =
This, same literal turn OF mind
which I have been illustrating, is
sometimes used Intentionally, and
perhaps little maliciously, and thus
becomes the property of wits instead
of ,blundefefa .Thus we hear of o
very polite and impressive gentleman
who said to q youth in the street:
'Boy, mpy I inquire where Robin
sons drug store is?" Certainly,
SIR, said the boy, very respectfully.
"Well, sir, said the gentleman, after
waiting awhile, t.Where is it?" ''I
have not the least idea, your honor"
said the urchin. There was another
boy who was accosted by an ascetic,
middIe-aged lady, with, ''Boy, want
to go to Dover street. well,
ma'am, y said the boy, "why don't
you go there, then?' 80
Sometimes this sort OF wit degene-
rates or rises, as the case may be, into
punning, as when Flora pointed pen
sively to the heavy masses sof clouds
in the sky, saying, ''I wonder where
those clouds are going;',.. and her
brother replied, ct think they are
going to thunder. Also, as in the
following dialogue: "Hello, therel
how do you sell wood?" "By the
cord. " ''How long has it been cut?"
s'Four feet" "I mean how long mas
it been since you cut it2" ..No
longer than it is now." And also
when Patrick O'Flynn was seen with
his collar and bosom sadly begrimed,
and was Indignantly asked by his
officer, ''Patrick O'Flynn, how long
do you wear shirt?" and replied
promptly, "twenty-eight inches,
