that their store ON Broadway street, op-

The Connecticut Election.

The Connecticut Election.
The election in Connecticut, which oc-
Cured last Monday, proved q surprise to
both parties, the Democrats succeeding
better than they anticipated, and much
better than the Republicans expected they
would The Democratic State ticket is
elected by a majority Of about 30O0-it
was less than 2000 last year-;lnd three of
the four Congressman are Democrats. a
gain of two over the delegation in the
fortv-third Congress, Gen. Hawley and
Mr.. Kellogg being defeated. The Senate
will be largely Democratic, and the House
will also be Democratic, but by Il re-
duced majority. The prohibition vote is
less than last year, but as it is always
made up mainly Of Republicans, its dim
mutton this year couldn't have helped the
Democrats. Mr. Ingcrsoll, the present
governor. has been an exceptionally GOOD
one, which strengthened the Democratic
State ticket, and Mr.. Greene the Republic
can candidate. was probably weighted
with .'third term" which certainly didn't
help him. The defeat of Gen Hawlev is
Il national loss, us there are quite too few
men of his stamp in any Congre>s-;tn
independent. honest, outspoken legislator,
and of conceded ability. He ran we'll
ahead Of his ticket, but the Democratic
candidate, George NJ. Sander, Of New
Britain, is elected by several hundred ma
jprity. The defeat of Kellogg, famiiarly
known rs Steve Kellogg, is not 80
much of loss. Mr. Starkwcather, the
Republican Congressman reelected, WAS
in Il strong district, and has about 1000
majority Mr.. Barnum, the present in
efficient Democratic member from the
fourth district. is reelected by Il reduced
majority. His money elects him anyway.
