IHE ELECTIONS. the returns received
up to Wednesday, renders it certain that the
Republicans have elected their Governor in
Connecticut, and also three out of four Con-
gressmen. This, it VIII be perceived is an I'M
provement upon last years result in Connec-
ticut. The majority in this state, have been
small usually, and the elections have been very
closely contested. The result, therefore, is
very gratifying to Republicans, and demon
strates that there has not been the falling off
that has been claimed by the Democrats. In
Michigan, the State Ticket has been elected by
the usual Republican majority.
Mr.. Fost er has been elected to succeed Mr..
Ferry by a very large majority.
The contest in the 18th, judicial Circuit,
may, be and probably Is close one, but it is
thought the Republican majority is too large
20 be easily overcome.
IN this County, there are probably ten Re-
publican Supervisors to eight Democratic.
The latest intelligence received from Connec-
ticut seems to indicate the probability that there
is no choice for Governo by the people, on ac-
hount Of the number of scattering votes cast
If this shall prove to be the case, the contst
Will have TO be declped by the Legislature
which body is decidedly Republican, and in
which Mr.. Jewel will be the choice. .

popularity of what is known as our NEW

largely increasing. We are not so vain as to
suppose that these large sales are due to supe-
rior business capacity so much as to the merits
Of our machines, as well as the observation of
those who buy and use, and are personally in
terested in comparing the merits of the differ

HOW BOWEN. sPENT THE FOURTH

Joseph H. Speed testified to-day before The
Ku.Klux committee. In Alabama oil was quiet
until last winter, when disguised bands
commenced various outrages which were con-
tlnued until recently. These outrages terror
lied the negroes and made them afraid to
vote. The opposition to negro education
came from the lower classes. The former

wounded him. He returned the fire, wound
ing one assailant mortally, whereupon they
retired, carrying off the dead. He knows no
cause for the attack. Whipping and similar
outrages continue in that, section creating
such terror that the negroes living in lsolat-

where. having nothing, they suffer distress.
