Springfield republican. Rep.l
The Democratic papers continue to pick
New Jersey and Connecticut at the election
OF 1876 made by the New York Times. The
Times charged Democratic fraud because OF
the remarkable increase in the vote In these
States from 1874 to 1876 but Ii appears that
addition of Republican votes to the votes
cast In 1874. In New York the Demo-
cratic vote increased 25 per cent a1d the Re
publican 33 per cent; in Connecticut the
former increased a7 per cent and the latter 80
Gratis brought 10 per cent more voters to the
ballot-box in 1876 than in 1874, the Republic
cans swelled their vote by % per cent. Facts
like these knock the last prop from under the
theory Of the Times that a vote unexpectedly
large is prima facie proof that the winning
party practice fraud.

Some day, not far distant, the water facili- ties of the valley will be utilized to assist i'll running custom quartz mills that shall crush ore taken from the mining districts north of Us. This will be rendered practicable by a system of na, row'gAuge railroads, fos tie transportation of ores taken from these districts, and centering in tli ir valley.
