CONNECTICUT Election.


From the Bos.ca Post
Another rebuke to Grantism
The people Of Connecticut have
Get the seal to their verdict of a
year ago rot only by a renewed
expression Of confidence in the To-
cal administration Of the Democrat
ic reform party, but by changing
the POLITICAL character CT their
Congressional delegation in accor-
dance with the vailing senti-
ment OF the State. In no canvass
has the issue been more clearly
stated or more boldly accepted.
The Endorsement of Grant was made
the test of Republicanism. Sup
port OF the personal schemes OF
the President was pledged both in
the platform of the party and in
character of its nominations. On
this the people have spoken, and
Grantism, with its third term, its
Force bill aud its military rule, is
condemned. There is no chance to
mistake the significance Of the re-
suit. The rout Of the administra-
tion is complete; and with the adj
ADMINISTRATION goes the Grant party.
The victory has not been won with |
ease. Against the people were ar
rayed the patronage and influence
Of the Federal Government, its
speakers By the dozen stumped
the State for weeks, and the too
familiar appliances of corruption
have been extensively employed.
AS in New Hampshire, the party
of prohibition traded for q ready
alliance with the Republicans; and
every element except that Of sturdy
patriotism and political integrity
was united against the Democracy.
The result is no less destructive to
the hopes of Grantism tblu it is
honorable TO the Democrats and
Liberals of the State. The latter
have definitely arrayed their State ,
against the assumption OF the Fed ,
eral Executive, in an election a
which that was the distinct Issue ,
and have certified the unwavering
Iibelity of Connecticut to the prin- ,
:iples Of constitutional government. I,

by the Democracy on Monday il
National and State issues had en-
tered into the canvass and the
voters had been brought out upon
them. The contest was, however,
one in which, on one side, a parti-
san victory was deemed absolutely
essential, and on the other amatter
of comparatively little Importance.
Its result fully exposes the weak
ness of the Republican party in
the State, and gives reasonable
assurance that a majority Of the
voters Of the State are enrolled in
the Democratic column. Repnbli-
can energy in the State at large,
pitted against Democratic indiffer-
ance, could do little moro than
barely carry the State ticket
through. Democrats went largely
upon the principle that the election
was only a spring election. and
that it vas not material whether
hey exerted themselves or not
Republicans that their party could
not hope for future success if it
suffered defeat.
There is no doubt that the vote
5 the largest ever cast at spring
election in the State; and it is
particularly gratifying to know
hat, although the effort was almost
wholly on one side, the Republican
is comparatively insignifi-
ant.

Our Houston, Texas, Letter.

This morning dawned beauti

the sun, the soft signing breezes
and the brilliant hued foliage and
sparkling flowers, all invite one to
labor in the fields and vineyards,
bat you know how sluggish one is
in the early spring; the glorious
sunshine and lazily sailing clouds
overhead, tempt one out to recline
on messy banks and listen to tie
silvery fow of brooks; and messy
banks and river remind one of
fishing. We expect to have fine
fishing, if not this year certainly
next. The Colorado and Brazos
rivers and Clear creek, all near
Houston. were last year stocked
with young shad, $4,000 being di-
vided between these three strC ans.
| don't know how large these shad
grow IN years time, but | pre-
sumo, IS they commence running
at this time of the year. that We
shall soon have them in h mark, t.

10000 inhabitants, is looking up

The Result I'm HTics,igsn.

From lie Detroit Free Press
Thanks TO efforts such as were
rarely ever before made by party
Mt spring election in Michigan,
the Republicans elected their State
ticket on Monday by small ma
jority. In the case of Marston for
Justice Of the Supreme Court, the
majority will probably reach 10000,
while in the case of Cutcheon the
margin will be considerably less.
The Republicans had set their
mark upon large majority, and
it must be a source Of modification
to them that they have been dis
appointed in securing it. In many
localities the partisan appeals OF
the leaders had the effect OF draw
ing out full party vote, and this
was the case in some even where
there was no opposition to the Re-
publican township candidates. The
word was passed along the Repub-
lican line for rousing Republican
majority, and the Republican vote
in the State will probably exceed
any heretofore cast at a spring
election yet instead Of the result
showing the heavy Republican ma
jority usual before the anti-Repub-
lican uprising of last fall, it shows
that the Republicans barely hold
their small majority Of last year.
The Democracy have every reason
to be satisfied with the result in the
State. They made no special eff
forts, and the State ticket had to
depend solely upon its own excel
lenco and upon the strength
OF tho local Democratic tickets for
the support it received. A careful
survey OF the returns shows that
in the Republican townships, as a
rule, the Republicans made Gu
effort to give their ticket more
than their customary majority;
while in the Democratic townships
the Democracy looked more to the
result on local officers than to the
effect on the State ticket, and were
therefore satisfied with victory
without regard to majorities.-
There we're notable exceptions to
this action on the part oil both
sides; but the rule was as stated,
indicating the earnestness of pur-
pose with which the Republicans
went into the election. In town
ships and cities which might be
clsssed as doubtful, the contest was
As rule particularly animated, and
IN these the Democracy did noble
work. There was no weak surren-
der Of any ground which had been
formerly gained; but a firm de-
termination to carry the party
banner into victory, and In most
cases, on heavy votes, the Repub-
licans were defeated. Judging
from what was done by the Democ-
racy in localities where the full
strength on both sides vas shown
