Democratic Dispatches.

Among all the truths, and lamen-
table truths announced to the coun.
try recently by telegraphic dispatch-
es from Washington, great deal of
error has come. Correspondents OF
the partizan dailies are prone TO col.
or their dispatches with falsehood
for the purpose OF making them sun
sational and showing fraud upon tho
the part OF officials and prominent
men in the political parties which
their journals severely oppose. II
will not do to give indiscriminnte
credit to all these dispatches. The
following, which we find In the OF

how the Democratic reporters man

Conaecticut Election.

The returns thus far received from
Mondays State election in Connecti-
cut are meager, but indicate crafty
ing Republican gains. Ingsrsoll,
Democrat, is probably reelected

towns show a net Republican gain OF
1901. The Legislature is Democratic
of course.

Belknap and every other prominent

honest so long as they remained
Democrats. Well, that Is they were

when they came out and stood among
Republicans, their dishonesty be-
came startlingly apparent. They

kinds is subject to taxation. THE
case came up on an appeal from the

A day or two afterwards similar
case was tried at Dubuque, aud here
the Court decided that church prop

will go to the Supreme Court for

Last Thursday the Democratic
tiger broke loose In the Senate. Sen.
ator Morton's Mississippi resolutions
were the cause OF the outbreak Mr..
}ayard was the gentleman selected
by his colleagues to reply to the
speech and resolutions of the Scna-
tor from Indiana. Encouraged by
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the Grant Parish case this
valiant knight bitterly and In un-
measured terms denounced the pros
ecution Of White League and Ku.
klux banditti and laid bare the
future policy of the Democratic party,
should il come into power, by proph-
esying that the timo would come
when tho fines levied upon those
murderous Villains would he repaid to
them out of the United States Treas
ury. This bold announcement gave
the Republicans an opportunity to
open fire upon Democracy Of which
they were not slow 10 take advan-
tage, and the Democrats received the
most severe lashing they have had
for long time. This declaration OF
intention insures the passage OF Sen
ator Morton's resolutions.
