The Issue.

We have never pretended to be satisfied with tbe action of Republican President and a Republican Congress in giving countenance to Louisiana Kellogg and hls usurping government of thieves. Nor do we anymore approve of cut-throat White League. We blame Congress and the President for taking sides with either party when they should have left it to the people of Louisiana to choose an honest governfnent at an honest election. We have observed with profound disgust that no such thing as an honest Republican State government has seemed possible in the South. It seemed at one time as if those states could never attain to honest self lfgovernment without the overthrow of the national Republican party. For this and other reasons we have been inclined to follow the apparent tendency of the coun- try press and have given more and more attention to local news and less to politics, making the Enquirer local rather than
 party paper. That we are not singular among Republicans in Litchfeld County
 in losing the keen interest we once took in politics the following table of party votes cast at State elections in this county, for the past eight years, will sufficiently

SH E RIFF.

On Thursday of last week, the Demo cratic County Convention met and made choice of MT. George H. Baldwin as their candidate for sheriff. In a very full con- vention there were only a dozen votes against him on the first ballot. To those who know little of politics, or of the spe- cial advantages sheriff has for manipulat- ing political conventions, such result may seem strange. We are apt not to give due weight to the fact that his renomination and reelection are just as necessary to thirteen deputies scattered throughout the county, as to the high sheriff here in Litchfield. MT. Baldwin's management throughout has been characteristic of the man and oft he politician. He was present at the meeting ofthe county representatives when one of the county commissioners gave as the reason the county had no in- come, that the present sheriff refused to make any such arrangement for the rent of the county jail as had formerly been practiced; yet, neither he or any friend of his in meeting where three-fourths were Democrats had the face to offer any ex- cuse for his conduct. If he had been will ling to give the county 8 reasonable hope of rentrenchment of expense, then was the time to show his willingness. Nor did the convention which renominated him, last week. pledge him to any reform as they might easily have done. Very noticeable, too, is the fact that no friend of his has at- tempted any explanation of the figures and estimates we have recently published, showing his misuse of his official position over the jail, and the large profit he has reaped therefrom. No doubt, this last week before election, his party papers that have preserved an unbroken silence as long as there was any chance of reply, will be voluble in his ''defence;" there will be button-holing and talking in cor ners; and MT. Baldwin's partisans and in- terested deputies will promise all sorts of jail reform from this time till the closing of the polls on Monday evening next. Then, should the result be in his favor. what guaranty will Reform have to show ? The sheriff has refused any public prom ise of 1t! The convention which nomina. ted him, dared not ask it. All this most wonderful and persistent silence means simply that Sheriff Baldwin feels strong enough in his large party majority to defy the demand for Reform!
 There was a time when there was nc more popular democrat in this town and county than Mir. George H. Baldwin. But of late years. his political ascendancy ha. been owing to his unscrupluous energy not to any personal popularity. That wa. long since dissipated by the selfish policy that has not only marked his dealings with the county but with individuals. Hi motto has been, Addition, Division, and Silence" with Division" left out A, his election in 1869 he ran eS behind the governors majority; in 1872. his majority was 132 less than that of the Democratic candidate for governor ip this county, Since 1872 his unpopularity has been or the increase, and we shall be surprised il the strictness of his party discipline, his

BRIDGEPORT, CONN, March 29, 1875

RDGEPoRT, CoSN., March 29, 1S75.
 EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER-Having business that takes me through the differ ent towns and cities of Western Connecti- cut, I take the liberty to give your readers an idea of the situation of the pending campaign.
 A strong disafection prevails against the Democratic JJth term candidate for Congressional honors, enhanced by the corrupt means used to secure his election. His open way of purchasing the birth right of American citizenship has caused it to be generally assumed that this hon. orable @ gentleman owns the district, body and soul. What an example of Re- form!
 Mir. Barnum comedies his defeat if he loses Bridgeport. His danger is realized by his party friends; his confidential man is here to-day in close conversation with the Bourboas, and without doubt is plac- ing the back pay of this distinguished Salary Grabber where cit will do the most good"
 The incontrovertible fact is established beyond question that Mir. Barnum, al- though he voted against the Salary Grab, dre,0 the back pay on the 10th day of March 1873. on certificate of the speak CT of the House. which is now on file in Warrant Division of the Treasury as the voucher for the money paid; and the chief of that Division says over his own signature that there is TO evidence on file that Mir. Barnum eUer returned the nao,lev to the Treasury. How is that for Demo cratic Reforns
 With such record as this ftlh term candidate brings before the people. will his money return him again to disgrace the Fourth District? Fairfield county is alive and awake to the great issue and it depends on her sister Litchfeld to help lay this corruptionist in his political grave. CITIZEN.

Farmers live in hope of the good time coming; but can do little now but break roads and take care of their stock.
 Two Danes walked all the way from New York to this place, last week, in search of work and are now employed here. One had previously worked in this town.
 The M. E. Society s meeting was held, on the 10th, at which good start was made Tn raising funds for another year. At the meeting for choice of Sunday school officers Birdsey T. Howe was elec- ted Superintendent.
 It is expected that Rev. D. s. Stevens will leave us in April, to take charge of an important church on Long Island, his former home. This is deeply regretted by his many friends, to whom he and h1s family have become greatly endeared; but they must congratulate him, as the change will be quite to his personal advantage. This sundering of the ties of friendship between pastor and people Tn our church brings out the ''shady side" of itinerancy; and shows one advantage of the steady pastorate. But we submit to what we be- ieve to be for the greatest good to the greatest number in our work. Every church is supplied with pastor. and each pastor with a parish. Besides, we avoid the ruptures that sometimes attend changes in other denominations. Doubt. less each system has its advantages.
 Death has again thrown it's shadow over our community. Mrs. .Clarinda Cum. mings, wife of the late E. T. Cummings, died March 27th. About the same time the sad intelligence was received that the remains of Mrs. Lucy Howe, widow oi Mrs. Cummings brother. the late Philo Howe, were on their way from Rochester, N. r.. where she died on the 25th. Mrs. Howe removed from this town to that city about year ago with her son D. ". Howe. She was sister of Joseph Wooster oi Litchfield.

THE SIXTEENTH DISTRICT.

The town of Bethlehem furnishes both candidates for Senatorial honors in the Sixteenth District, this year. Hon. Hen " W. Peck, the Republican nominee, was a Democrat up to the breaking out of the war, when he took his stand for the Union regardless of party ties. He is man of ability and of considerable legislative ex- perience, having represented Bethlehem in the House in 1862. and the Sixteenth District in the Senate Tn 1865. Mrs. L., Bloss, the Democratic nominee, has gone into history as the man who offered a resolution in town meeting called to vote a bounty, providing that eff a volunteer from the town should run of anybody 8 nigger' he should forfeit all his bounty.
