fn,ajority over that OF last year is hailed
with qualification.
To the democrats it must be profound
disappointment-especially to the passive
democrats. They adopted the Missouri
platform and fought the campaign upon it.
1t was test of the latest new departure.
There was nothing omitted to make it
successful that the leaders could do Speak
ers were furnished in abundance, the
beauty and necessity of the new scheme
whereby the democrats were to be made
over into republicans and by the aid
of Messrs. Sumner, Greeley, & Co., elect
the next President, were duly set forth.
But the effort is failure. AS DESTROYS as
the democratic party is of electing the
President, the honest instinct of the mass
es revolted against the abandonment of
principle they were called to endorse, and
the scheme fell dead If the democrats
of Connecticut were asked since the cleo
ton the cause of their defeat, the majority
of them would agree that their new-fan-
gled platform was the load that sunk
them. The old warehouses; of the party
kicked openly at it, denouncing it as dis
honest, and if they voted for the candi-
date upon it. did SO under protest and I'M
willingly. If the leaders still have the
courage to 60 forward pressing the passive
policy upon the democracy and an alliance
with the Cincinnati republicans, it must
be the courage that is born of desperation
and madness.

THE CONNEC7YCUT ELECTION.

The result of the Connecticut election
leaves the opposition to the republican
party In demoralized condition. Before
the republican success the prospects OF
the Cincinnati convention grow dim. In
large degree the fortune of that conven-
ton WAS dependent upon the election.
The result must be held as test Of the
strength Of the movement among the peo-
pie.
1t would be idle to say that this issue
was not in the campaign. The democrats
thrust it in. and so did the disaffectet
clique Of republicans. The New Yorl
World emphatically stated in its columns
that unless the Cincinnati republicans
showed their hand in Connecticut the
democrats would not think of an alliance
with them. And in the very last days Of
the campaign the New York call of the
anti-Grant republicans was issued, with a
view to draw out and strengthen that ele.
ment in Connecticut for the pending cleo.
ton.
But the election returns show that there
is no division in the republican party OF
Connecticut. There are no anti-Grant re.
publicans among the people Of any State.
Whatever opposition there is to Grant. is
among disappointed and ambitious leaders
with no followers to back them. The
party is united and strong as ever. A few
leaders are disaffected, but the heart of
the people is sound, and they have conf
dence in Grant. If there were any OPP
position to him ii would have been mani
tested in both New Hampshire and Con-
necticut, and particularly in Connecticut,
where appliances were made to force its
development if possible.
When it is taken into the account that
Connecticut has until recently been a re-
liable democratic State, the vote of Mon
day must be reckoned AS eyincing in
remarkable degree the steadiness and
strength ofthe republicans In 1870 Eng
fish was elected Governor on the demo-
cratic ticket by s27 majority. In 1871 the
tables were slightly turned, Jewell being
elected on the republican ticket by 100
majority = AlTthe margin which the re-
publicans had in the late election was,
therefore, 1893 votes But beside having
to overcome the democratic opposition,
they had to encounter the temperance tick
ct, which drew off about 1900 votes from
the republicans, also the labor reform tick
ct. and whatever, disalection and mischief
could be effected by ihe liberal republic
cans. Fighting the battle on such condi-
tions II Is not surprising that the result
was . nsidsred somewhat doubtful before
election, and that the increase Of their
