Connecticut.

,,,o ras,,lt In Connecticut is some"ha'
,.rr;s;op ,nasmuch as It is more dec'deo.y
IN favor of the Democrats than we 'housu."
,r,r,a ne. We said on Monday motn'os
that the victory, whether for the pemoS'a's
49, p.,,h,ic,ns. would be saessre one;
W 49,, .,n,ch the Democrats gained vas
Thsre "a reason Tor arguing that sno"H
5.faa, might have been better for the opFo-
s;,,o, since It nigh. have kept them up 10
,ho,, work: but we may sag that there Us
more gained by aisheartep!ntng the RepGes'-
..ns than there could have been in spuESng
the Democrats by means of small daeat.
1t is very gooA Is it is.
I,cyRsoIx, the Democratic incumbent OF
the office Of Governor, is elected by an 'n'
creased majority. JiMEs L. GREEsElRepub'
licanl. the defeated candidate for "seVernor,
10 the yieAeut Radical who fred FIVE hundred
puns when the Conservative Legislature Of
Louisiana was by.sRAST's policy thrust ou'
Of the capitol at New Orleans. He trled pc
revive the rancors of SECTIONAL hate. ana no"
he is buried, we trust, along Tith grea'
deal Of bad and vicious passion that hcipeo
a. long TO sustain Radicalisa2 and postpone
the day of real peace and harmony IN Inc
nation.
Gxyyys YVES also a thorough GRANT ane
,b;rd..erm .uan. He and H.wLEY, late mem
her of Congress, met defeat together. The!
were an,ipodes in party Republicans"
<;RsEsE was az bitter as.possible. HAwLE'
was liberal Republican. He was aVo"eo'!
and decidedly opposed 90 third term io'
Grant, and against all oppressive and pefse
cutting legislation towards the south. "RstS'
was his opposite in every way. 1hefeiof'
the extrssnists cannot say that HAwLEY was
defeated for his liberalism because GREENE
the very pattern of II thess and prosecuting
Radical. falls on the same field in when hAW
LEY perishes.
The Connecticut election is cheeringly IN
struc,ive. Mr.. Speaker BLAINE, OF Name
entered the campaign there, and made an eS-
eeedingly polite speech, in which ne, too'
appeared the very opposite Of the ianoo
GREENE. lie decidedly opposed the 'hlro
term. and his whole discourse tended 10
urge the Republicans to unload" ana ais'
card all extreme measures, especially al
those tina. oppressed the South and operated
pneQually in theStates.
But Mr.. .BLAIHR's chief maneuvre was tc
place Democrats 10 disadvantage, and thus tc
impress the people that it was the best thing
to take Repub!icanism with all its faults, IN
the hope that it might be madea little better
But the people Of Connecticut could mol
"see it" in this light. They are right.
bad party can't be improved. 1t is. not IN
I. the nature of the beast" BY supernatural
means we believe the devils of party have
never been expelled, SO that they might
take refuge In the bodies of swine or of any
other animals. The true remedy Il
with the people. They can dethrone the
party and render po~erless all the devils
that had entered Ii. This is the sort Of work
Connecticut has been doing, and unless we
are wofully disappointed and all examples
repudiated, the people will make clear
sweep of the bad party, and place the land
under rule that will be altogether pro-
pitious to the restoration Of equality amongst
the States, and peace, conlentment, and pros
perity to the people.
