HOW THE RADICALS CARRIED CON
NECTICUT.

A Boston correspondent writes as fol
lows:
Of the result in Connecticut, l must say
a word. A handsome democratic majority
has been whitfield down in abont six
months, into considerably less than moth
ing. The manner in which this was done
may be seen by glance at the returns.
These show that, while the Democratic
vote has been sadly decreased, the Radi-
cals have made no corresponding gain. 1t
must have been, then, voters were kept at
home. Such was the case--the effect of a
nicely-c pncocted scheme of disfrancbment,
enacted by the last legislature. Although
the State went Democratic in the spring,
the General Assembly was Radical in COM
plexioD. Selling the opportunity, these
high-minded legislators spent most of the
session in contriVing measures by which
TO reduce the Democratic vote. They sue
ceeded admirably, by passing new election
and registration laws which, while profes-
sing TO be in the interest of an honest
ballot, virtually disfranchised large num-
bers of Democratic voters. NaturaliZa-
ton was made more difficult by restricting
the power of Issuing papers to the superior
court of each county. By a change Of
residence, a naturalized citizen was placed
at the mercy of any rascal who cared to
challenge his ight to vote, and Obliged
in come cases, to repeat the whole process;
of naturalization. Registration was i'm
peded by the imposition of perplexing
and stupid series of forms, requiring
weeks for their coasumation; and laborinG
men, were practically prevented from regis
tering at ali, by law which required tn,
boards to cit only in those hours wher
such citizens are engaged in daily work

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Leading Radi-

HOW GENERAL GRANT TREATS TIL

A dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette,
from Washington, says:
Letters and kilograms from all parts Of

of the writers claim to have been original
Grant men, and want an Office. Ii may
be interesting to such persons, as well as
to the country at large, to know that all
are opened by one of the staff officers,
and that those asking for offices or money
are destroyed az sUon as their purpOrt is
ascertained. This morning about three
hundred letters were On hand The staff
officer charged with the duty of opening
got along with his work at the rate OF
about one per minute. OF the first huns
dred opened, General Grant did not look
at a single one. About twenty relatin G

while the seYenty-fve or eighty from Of
fcesseekers were at once torn to pieces
and thrown into the waste paper basket.
The persons, therefore, who intend writ
inc about that little Post Office or that
assessorship, might as well save their
time, ink, paper, envelopes and postage,
for their letters, whether marked private,
personal or confidential, will invariably
be destroyed by the staff officer, whose
duty it is 10 examine them and General
Grant will not even know that they have
been received. He has nothing to do with

GIBSON COUNTY.

nessee.

From the Trenton Gazette, Now.
The election in this county passed of
very quietly aud with bu! very little ex-
sitemeut. The vote was very meagre and
in many districts no election was held. This
was owing, partly to the fact, that the Re-
gi5traT, as in every other duty pertaining
to his Office, failed to appoint the necessary
Judges and officers 10 hold the election,
except probably in Q few, Of the districts,
where Radicalism vas supposed to be in
the asceudency. The slpposition with
many is that it was the intention of leading
Radicals to suffer the election in this county
to go by defanlt, or practice gross fraud
upon the people by holding the election in
a few districts only, and throw out the votes
of all others. There is evidently some
thing behind the curtains that requires
explanation. We were prepared TO hear,
and did expect great falling of in the
vote for Grant in this county There
was much disafection in the ranks,
and considerable disposition to bolt from
Radicalism. But we did not appTehsnd
that out of 1900 registered voters in the
county, only some 500 would be pollej, yet
this is the fact. In this distric. (Trenton)
where the vote was usually very strong for
the Radical candidates. only four votes
were polled for Grant Why was this I?
Was it disafection that produced it? 1t
could not have been through intimidation,
for a more peaceable and quiet cleo
ton never was held ia the county, and
besides we noticed that several prominent
Radicals in Ihecounty absented themselves
from the polls who were bold enough to
daDosit their unfaa in 1894 uba, The roun-
try was overrun by Forests cavalry. In
this town also there were more than
dozen Radicals who either refused or
neglected to vote, and of whose loyalty"
no question can be made.
