be taken as indicating that the Republican
will carry the State in November The con

carried by large majority.
5. A. Hubbard, managing editor of the
Courant, says: There are I67 towns in the

above proportion. The result is regarded by
the Republicans as every way favorable tc
the prospects of Republican successes it

The registery law is much more favorable tt
an honest vote than in 1875. Business mer
