The WOrld'P Arithmetic Man Gives
II Up. R n
kA1sA y NEW YOhk, April 4.
The World this morning says there wa
q large vote polled In Connecticut yester
day, and the result on Governor Is In
doubt. The majority Is not likely 10 be
over 100 either way; and the official count
may have TO decide. Heavy Republican
gains in New Haven and Hartford, which
was anticipated from a general canvass oi
the State. The Democrats have appar-
emily lost the State Senator, but have
gained ten or more Representatives The
vote for Representatives in Congress, in
the Second District, d also very close, the
Republicans claiming Kelloggs election
by Q majority, andthe Democrats refusing
to concede Il. The delegation to the 42d
Congress will probably stand as follows:
First District, Julius L. Strong, Republic
can; Second, John Hendricks, Dem, q
gain; Third, Il. H Starkweather, Rep
Fourth, VIM. Fl. Barnum, Dem.
The World also attributes the Heavy
Republican gains. among other circum.
stances, to tho fact that from 1000 10
500 negroes voted for the first time this
year under the 10th amendment, and IN.
doubtedly cast their ballots solldly for
Jewell; and adds, "Governor English has q
large majority Of the whits vote Of the
State, and we believe, o majority Of the
whole State as 1t stands"
The Herald briefly comments on there.
suit as followE ave cannot yet decide
how the election has gone in Connecticut.
The vote polled was so UNUSUALLY close
that neither party can say decisively yet
who has won. Both sides have evidently
learned a lesson from the New Hampshire
election, and worked with will. With a
very full vote the majority either way
will probably not exceed 20O."
The SRR claims the election of Jewell
by over 100 majority, and thinks tho Con
greSsional delegation remains unchanged,
and asCribes the heavy Republican gains
70 the distinct reputation Of Grant. 1t
says Kellogg Is undoubtedly elected by
small majority, and that the Legislature
Is Republican.
The Tribune says that though the re-
turns are not complete as we write,
gain OF more than 10000 over the vote Of
last year nearly or quite insures the elec.
tion Of Mr.. Jewell as Governor, with all
his colleagues on the Republican State
ticket, Gov. English being the strongest
man OF his party and running generally
ahead of the other candidates. We have
every reason to believe that Strong and
Starkweather are reelected to Congress,
and report adds Kellogg also; but we
cannot believe that on anything short oil
full and precise returns, We have no
doubt the Legislature is again Republi-
can in both branches, and probably by az
increase on last years meagre majorities
The vote Is some thousands heavier than
last year; in fact, very full, considering
that the day was In good part rainy, and
the roads In q wretched condition. Hart.
ford, New Haven, New Britain, Stamford
and NorwaR are among the towns which
have done nobly."
The Times thinks theelection Of Jewell
Is insured beyond doubt and that Kellogg
Is returned to Congress from the second
district.
The Democrat says the result, as inllca.
ted by the latest returns, does not give the
the Democracy much reason 10 hope, and
thinks the Republicans have probably
about 200 majority. That they have also
elected three out Of four Congressman, Us
well as majority Of both branches ofthe
Legislature.
The Standard thinks President Grants
administration has met in the main the
expectation Of the party that elected II,
and that Connecticut Is more evenly bal
anced politically than any other State In
the Union, and the result Of the election
yesterday endorsesit. s--z'-1 .af
The Star says that "upyto the very late
hour at which We go TO press, 1t Is i'm.
possible to say to whom victory actually
belongs, but there Is enough, we think, to
indicate substantial triumph for the De
mocracy." .aza anna Z
Returns In the Office Of the sESsaiag
Post, this afternoon, from the entire State,
give English a plurality Of 45 votes
Should scattering votes exceed this mum.
Der the election will be by Legislature.
Twenty scattering votes were deposited
in New Haven, and 1t Is not unlikely that
enough have been polled to defeat an
election by the people. The Times, dem.
ocratic, makes q plurality for English
Should the election go to the Legislature,
