i hc NeW Ofk FFe1S on the Result
In Connecticut.
New YORK, April 4.-The World this
morning says: There was large vote
polled in Connecticut yesterday, and
the result on Governor is in doubt the
majority is not likely to be over two
hundred either way. Heavy Republi-
can gains in New Haven and Hartford
had the effect of changing the result
which was anticipated from the general
canvass Of the State. The Democrats
have apparently lost one State Senator,
but have gained ten or more Represen-
tatives. The vote for the Representa-
tive in Congress in the Second District
is also very close, the Republicans
claiming Kellogg's election by nine ma
jority, and the Democrats refuse to con-
cedeit. The delegation to the Forty
second Congress will probably stand as
follows: First District, Julius l..
Strong, Rep; Second, John Hendricks,
Dem, a gain; Third, Ii. H. Stark
weather, Rep; Fourth, VIM. II. Bar
mum, Dem. The World also attributes
the heavy Republican gain, among other
circumstances, to the fact that from
one thousand to fifteen hundred negroes
voted for the first time this year, under
the fifteenth amendment, and undoubt-
edly cast their ballots solidly for
Jewell, and adds that Governor Eng
lish has large majority Of the white
vote of the State, and believes MAORI
ty of the whole State as it stands.
The Herald briefly comments on the
result as follows We cannot vet de-
eide how the election has gone in Con-
necticut; the vote polled was so un-
usually close that neither party can say
decisively yet who has won. Both sides
have evidently learned lesson Of the
New Hampshire election, and worked
with a will. With a very full vote, the
majority either way will probably not
exceed 200.
The San claims the election Of Jewell
by over 100 majority; thinks the Con-
gressional delegation remains unchang-
ed: and ascribes the heavy Republican
gains to distinct reputation Of Grant.
1t says Kellogg is undoubtedly elected
by a small majority, and the Legisla-
ture is Republican.
The Tribune says: Though returns
are not complete as we write, gain
of more than 1000 on the vote Of
last year nearly or quite insures the
election of Marshal Jewell as Governor,
with all his colleagues on the Repub-
lican State ticket, Governor English
being the strongest man of his party,
and running generally ahead of other
candidates. We have every reason to
believe that Strong and Starkweather
are reelected to Congress, and report
adds Kellogg also. but we cannot be-
lieve that on anything short Of fall and
precise returns. We have no doubt
the Legislature is again Republican in
both branches, and probably by an in
crease on last years meagre majority.
The vote is some thousands heavier
than last year, in fact very full, consid-
ering that the day was in good part
rainy and the roads in wretched con-
dition. Hartford, New Haven, New
Britain, Stamford and Norwalk are
among the towns which have done
nobly.
The Times thinks the election of
Jewell is insured beyond doubt, and
that Kellogg is returned to Congress
from the Second District.
The Democrat says the result, as in
dicated by the latest returns, does not
give the Democracy much reason to
hope, and thinks the Republicans have
probably about 200 majority, and that
they have also elected three out of four
Congressman as we'll as a majority in
both branches of the Legislature.
The Standard thinks President Grants
has met in the main the
expectations of the party that elected it,
and that Connecticut, probably more
evenly balanced politically than any
other State in the Union, by the result
of the election yesterday inderses it.
The Star says Up to the very late
hour at which we 60 to press, it is i'm
possible to say to whom the victory
belongs, but there is enough, we think,
to Indicate a substantial triumph for
the Democracy.
The Result Doubtful.
HARTFORD, March 1.-THE returns in
the Office of the Evening Post this after
noon from the entire State gives Eng
lish plurality of 45 votes. Should the
scattering votes exceed this number the
election will be by the Legislature.
Twenty scattering votes were deposited
in New Haven, and it is not unlikely
that enough have been polled to defeat
an election by the people.
The Times { (Democratic) makes the
plurality for English s. Should the
election 90 to the Legislature there will
be no doubt of JEWELS success, as the
Legislature is Republican in both
branches.
CINCINNATI, April 3.-The majority
for Davis (Republican), for Mayor,
Yesterday, was 1855. The majorities on
the Republican city ticket range from
973 to 354l, Kirchner, for Director OF
CITY infrmary, receiving the smallest
majority, and Millner, for Wharfmaster,
the greatest, though there was consid,
erable splitting for both Aldermen and
Councilmen, and in some wards the
election turned on local issues. The
