Connecticut has gone democratic, as
was generally expected before the elec-
ton. The result shows republican gain
on the gubernatorial vote, enough to
ground the hope upon that the State will
swing into the republican line in Novem-
Der. There were some distracting elements
among the republicans that rendered the
republican efforts less efficient than they
might have been, while the democrats
applied every resource to prevent the fatal
effect that the loss of the State would have
had upon their Presidential prospects.

MIR. GRAINS SPEECH BEFORE THE
DEMOI RATIC CLUB.

Albert Pike is surely one of the greatest
men now living. He is growing old and
has lived with constantly accelerated veloc-
ity, and therefore has not won Office before
The people as he has won fame before the
country's intelligence. But We only pro-
posed to say that Albert Pike, profound
thinker and statesman, delivered an un-
written and unpublished speech in st. Louis
before the bar of that city In 1868, the
leading idea of which was reproduced by
MIR. Grain in his admirable address pre-
nounced before the Democratic club OF this
city. The Democratic idea of the relations
of States and municipalities to one another
aud to the Union was illustrated by astro-
nomical facts. The sun Is the great center
of the universe about which worlds, as
States about the Union, logically
revolve, each ever confined rigidly
TO its own proper orbit by God
given constitutional law. Such
substantially was the definition of Demo-
cratic theories of government by Mr. Grain
as elaborately and as clearly and tastefully
expounded as by Albert Pike. On the con-
trary the Republican idea of Americanism
in government can only be illustrated, as
Mr.. Cram asserted. by the maelstrOm draw
ing and wreckine in its vortex every barque

A Plot I'm n Harem.

The new sultana valide of Turkey has had
q narrow escape. 1t is the habit on the
death of a sultan to disperse the women of
the harem; they are divided among the
different pashas, and any surplus souls are
sent TO a palace on the B, sphorus. The
precaution was neglected on the death of
Abdul Az z Perhaps from reasons of econo-
my. The ex-favorltes saw new women fill
their places, which was naturally the cause
of much jealousy, tears, anger and thirst
for vengeance. Here is what they deter
mined upon: The mother of Mourad had
chosen as her fayorite seat dIvan, above
which hangs an immense pier-glass- They
made up their minds to have it fall upon
her head, in order to accomplish which,
they loosened the nails and weakened the
cords to such an extent that the enormous
frame was only held by mere thread. But
secret kept by 50 many women was not
destined TO long remain q secret. There
was . trsitress in the camp, and the plot wa
discovered. Almost all the conspirators
were Circassians. They were Immediately
conducted ont Of the palace There were
no reporters TO inform rs whether any Of
them were sewn in bags and thrown int
the Bosphorus, which would be no very ex
traordinAry ending of 50 very Oriental
transaction.

has the endorsement of the intelligent

a knowledge of the anatomy, chemistry and

In his admirable speech before the Senate
of the United States, Hon. John P. Jones,
of Nevada, collsted all the learning that
affects the precious metals. His speech, as
elaborate as one of Charles Summers fin
ished Ciceronian oratlons, constitutes q
pamphlet, with Its notes and references, oil
40 pages. Every speech-maker in this
presidential campaign will find in this
brochure a thesaurus of facts and arguments
adduced in behalf of the double standard
silver and gold-of monetary values.
Tilden and Hendricks have confessed the
impossibility of resuming specie payments,
unless provision for the event by the accu
mutation of specie be made, and the Ne

storing the double standard of silver anC
gold.
