showing there have been elected 13 Demo

largely in the House, and it is probably close
what the ssTimesn Says of 1t.
New York, April 6.--The Times says that
after allowing for the prohibition movement
and local jealousies weakening the Connetiuct
Republicans, there is a palpable disaffection
which must be explained on broader grounds.
The campaign has been largely a defensive
one. While in form IL was an attack on the
Democratic party for its reactiOnary tenden-
cics, and its completely with the disorders
that exist, or have recently existed in the
South, 1t was in effect defense of the meas
ures of Executive and Congress, which were
based on those disorders, and meant TO sup
press them and prevent their recurrence.
The principal arguments addressed to the
people were in substance a justification OF the
course of the government in Louisiana, OF
attempted legislation known as the Force
Bill, of the Civil rights law, and Of that gen
eral purpose of the administration which
those measures embody and illustrate. The
general position of the Republican managers
in Connecticut was marked with great dis.
tinctness by the nomination of a man for
Governor who conspicuously believes in the
policy referred to. The people were asked
to believe that coercion and violence is the
only proper policy towards the South While
a large proportion of the Republican party
are in sympathy with the sentiment which
animates the administration and which was
displayed by the majority in last Congress,
there is q considerable number OF Republi
cans who are either not in sympathy with
that sentiment or do not approve Of the pol
icy to which 1t has given rise. II Is these
who have given the Democrats larger ma
jority than they had q year ago. Whatever
they think of possible mischicfs from this
party, they are willing to trust it far and
long enough to express in an unmistakab!e
manner their disapprobation of the present
position of some of the Republican leaders.
In short, the people want peace, and are fully
determined to have II. In New Hampshire
the party had the good sense and courage to
fake position acceptable to Conservative
Republicans, and when it was not taken In
Connecticut, where the last lesson ought not
TO be disregarded, the popular Judgment docs
not excuse the party, because OF its large
minority of conscientious public men who are
opposed TO the essentially unjust policy re.
Gently expressed in the force bill and civil
rights bill. Gen. IIawley has fallen under
the general disatfection, though no more able
or consistent opponent could be found of
the very measures which have secured his
condemnation. There must be o thorough
and united effort to counteract the present
tendencies, or the party will suffer defeat,
as it has in Connecticut. The country must
be united In fact rs well as In name.
