Connecticut Election.

Our dispatches yesterday morning.
were considerably mixed in reference 10
the Connecticut election. For instance,
they read sixty-seyen towns give
Haven 1916, Ingersoll 22,36I, smith
6s1-against last year, Jewell 2,l95,
Hubbard 81 $40. 1t should have read
"sixty-seyen towns give Haven II, 546
Ingersoll, 1887; Smith, 681, against
last year, Jewell, 1857 Hubbard, 81
$40; Democratic gain, 1929 Which
makes all the difference in the world.
The dispatches, however, are not any
more mixed than the election itself. As
we said, Monday morning, sit is idle to
Judge of the effect of local causes. The
returns have been received from nearly
the entire State, and show the election
of Charles r. Ingersoll, the Democratic
candidate, as Governor, by majority of
some thirty-fve hundred votes. 1t will
be remembered that the nomination OF
Haven, by the Republican State conyen-
ton, although nearly unanimous, was
considered directly counter to the inter
ests Of New Haven, and that her dele
gates refused to unite in making the
nomination unanimous. This feeling
against Haven, who was from New Lon
don, was very extensive in the entire
county of New Haven, so much so, that,
for weeks, every Republican newspaper
in the county refused to support the
ticket, or to "hoist" the names OF the
nominees at the head of their columns.
These differences were, afterwards, said
to be healed and the Republican press,
we believe without exception, supported
the entire ticket, including Mr.. Haven
for Governor 1t would now seem that
such support was reluctant, and that the
differences were not healed. Last year,
JEWELS, Republican, majority for Gov
erncr was twenty-five. The county OF
New Haven gave him vote of 0,544
and Hubbard, Democrat, 10,991, being a
Democratic majority of four hundred
and forty-seven. This year, excepting
one small town, the same county gives
Haven only 1909 and to Ingersoll, DEM
ocrat, IL, 1872, being Democratic major
ity of fifty-one hundred. A change
against the Republicans, since last year,
of four thousand six hundred and fifty,
three, being more than the entire Dem
ocratic majority in the State. In other
words, the Republican local dissensions
In New Haven have lost the State to TIE
Republicans, so far as the Governor is
concerned. Nothing is said, in any OF
the dispatches, in reference to the bal
ance of the State ticket, but it undoubt-
edly followed the fortunes of the Gov
ernor. The congressional vote shows
about the same majority the other way,
although it may be trifle smaller, the
entire delegation of the last Congress
being reelected, as follows; Joseph r.
Hawley, Stephen w. Kellogg and Henry
II. Starkweather, Republicans, and Will
liam III. Barnum, Democrat. The ave,
