The County.

We cannot but rejoice at the richly deserved
drubbing the Democrats have received in the
county. They have tried to recapture the
Salisbury Plan and have failed miserably.
The nomination of Mr.. Peet proved even
more unpopular than we had expected. Accord
ing to the latest and presumably the most
correct returns, the vote is very close in both
Fairfield and Litchheld counties, yet Mr..
Miles has majority of over 500. The table
of Irregularities" to be found elsewhere,
throws food of light upon the popularity
claimed for Mr.. Peet in his own vicinity.
His old town, one of the most reliable DEM
ocratic towns in the county, this year gives a
majority for Garfield, elects q Republican
Representative, and shows gain for Miles,
over Garfield, of II. II that is popularity,
the less candidate has of it the more likely
he is to see Washington.
Canaan, however. 10 emily sample of the
towns Of Litchield county. All along the
line there 10 disaster-shere little and there
good deal"-until his defeats become as
monotonous In detail as they are overwhelm-
ing In the general result. The most unlucky
place of all was Cornwall. There it is said
that, owing to causes over which Mr.. Peet
had no control, there was "a failure to con-
meet" which resulted in giving Mr. Peet but
one third of the votes cast in a Democratic
town. 1884, .
Mr.. Richmond is quite popular candidate
by the side of Mr.. Peet, vet, except in his
own town, and in places where there are Dem
ocratic deputies, he makes no substantial
gains His opponent, on the other hand,
gains more in his own town than Richmond
gains anywhere and, in Cornwall, nearly
twice what he gains in his own town.
Better nominations and a vastly higher
moral tone on the poi mt of the illegitimate use
of money at elections, are the subjects the
Democracy of Litchfeld county specially
need to contemplate Just now they are as
thoroughly corrupt as they were when Will

THAT WHIP.-The Litchfield Enquirer, in
speaking of the whip, matter, wants US to ex-
plain how we came TO send statement to the
Wolcottville Register, which ought to have
appeared first in our columns We confess
that when we ascertained how much the pub.
LEGATION OF the story annoyed the candidate for
the Sheriffs Office, we regretted its appear
ance, for We have never had any difficulty
with the late candidate, and we never want
to cause any one pain. But the Enquirer
probably asks no more than others may desire,
90 in justice to ourself, we must say that all
we sent to the Wolcottville Register was writ
ten on postal card that we gave the simple
facts, as generally reported here; that the
Register made up its article from those facts !;
and that we had nothing to do with writing
that article, further than we have stated We
did not even request the publication of the
facts; but sent them for the Editors informa-
ton, If he wanted to use them, The reason
we did not publish the story until we copied
if from the Register, is this: We published
the facts at the time they occurred, and they
were 80 widely known here that we did not
deem it necessary to say anything on the sub
ject. Further, we should not have copied the
article from the Register, had not number of
active Democrats come to US, and earnestly
requested us to do so. AS to the story itself,
we must say that we have seen the lady wi ose
whip was taken. and she assures US that in
every essential particular. the facts are as they
were published. Milford Roy.

Well, the weather has cleared off and so
has the political HORIZON and locks as bright
as the brightest gem of purest ray serene. "
Every thing has come out of doubt into such
glorious certainty that it is fitting that every
body should feel gay and and happy. The
New Milford folks felt so jolly over the result
thot they invited the members of the Gar
field and Arthur Club, land everybody else"
in New Preston, down to help celebrate the
victory. 1t was miserable night; wind, rain
and darkness deeper and denser than the
clouds which overshadow the regions of limbo.
However, in the afternoon and fore partof the
evening. the dispensing of rain ceased sufa-
GENTLY to entice about twenty five New Pres
tonites to New Milford and they were well
paid for their trouble. Notwithstanding the
weather, there was a large and fine torch light
procession, beautiful fire works, and splendid
illuminations. Nearly every house was illu-
minated and we could not but wonder, if
every illuminated house was republican,
where on earth New Milford reaps such a
democratic majority. After the procession, a
bountiful repast was furnished to all in the
Town Hall by the citizens Of New Milford.
Everybody had a good time. At least we
did, Notwithstanding such tremendous rain
set in about the time to start home. Hurrah
for Garfield and New Milford!

The first meeting of the Connecticut branch

Missions, of the Protestant Episcopal church
was held in Middletown, on Thursday, Nov.

congregations were present, TO hear addresses
from the Missionary Bishops, Tuttle, of Utah.
Whipple, of Minnesota, Elliot, of Western
Texas, and Hare, of Niobrara Bishop Will

one OF great interest to all concerned, and not
likely often to occur, as it is only once in
three years that we have visits from our Mis-
sionary Bishops. Between the meetings OF

their distant fields. The extent of these may
be imagined from the fact that in nine months

The most disgraceful riot which has occur

Col. where, i'm the heat occasioned by the
forged. Chinese letter mob Quilted every
Chinamans house in the city, killed several,
and multilated more. Such an affair, occur
ring in any Southern State, would have excit-
ed ten times the Republican indignation that
the Denver outrage arouses. In fact the
election seems to have been conducted at the
South with unusual fairness. Some intimida-
ton is reported in South Carolina; but, else
where, the increased number Of Republican
Congressman indicates that there was less
interference with the negro vote than has been
known for years.

There is q strong tendency on the part Of Dem
Democratst to attribute their defeat to John Kel-
ley. No doubt the nomination of Grace for
Mayor tended to injure Hancock in the city,
but Kelley declares that Grace was in reality
the man proposed by the anti Tammany wing
of the Democracy. Still the dissenslons occa-
stoned by the Kelley management for four
years past have no doubt been a serious source
of Democratic weakness in both city and state.
1t was the determination of business men to
''leave we'll enough alone" however, as we
believe, which was the chief occasion of Dem.
