popularity, in great measure, is this
grand and glorious victory due.
The old second district has redeemed
herself, Hon. James Phelps beats kel
logg | 800 votes for congress This dis
trict is always democratic, but by th'
treachery OF aspiring office seekers 1t has
been mjs.represcnt,d in Congress for the
past four years by republican.
Gen. lIswley steps down and out, and
gives place to Geo. w. Landcrs in the
next Congress.
The victory is a great one, and sounds
the funeral knell Of radcalism in Con
necticut. The old state, within whose
confines we were born and reared to man
hood, has cried out in tones that will
echo in every corner of the national cap

the ears Of the despotic Grant: " Away
with ,illoiny and corruption Down viii
