Connecticut Republican Convention.
HARTFORD, Aug, 11.-Connecticut Republic
can State convention at Hartford, organized
today by the election of Hon. Augustus Bran
dedge of New London as permanent president.
Mr.. Brandedge made an address in which he
reviewed the record of the two political parties.
He said the predictions of the Democratic

had endeavored to remove all restrictions for
protecting the ballot-box.
Fl. B. Bigelow of New Haven was nominated
Governor by reclamation, as was also Gen.
William II. Buckley of Hartford for Lieuten-
ant Governor.
The resolutions heartily ratify the nomina-
tions of Garfield and Arthur; endorse the plat
form OF the Chicago Convention, and declare
Republican triumph will ensure a continu-
ance of that sound financial policy to which
we owe our renewed prosperity 1t will
secure protection to free American labor, the
spread of free education, and place beyond all
danger the political rights of every citizen.
Convention al the afternoon session COM
pleted its business by nominating Charles E.
Searles of Thompson for Secretary of State;
David P. Nichols of Danbury for Treasurer,
and Col. Wheelock T. Bachelor of Winsted
for Comptroller Electors were also chosen.
Adjourned.

The Census Frauds in the South.
TALK OF ORDERING A NEW COUNT
Especial Dispatch to the Boston ,Journal1

Especial Dispatch to the Boston Journal.1
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE census returns
are coming in quite freely from the southern
states, and the remarkable and unexpected
heavy gains over the last census occasion very
general surprise in official quarters. In some
sections of the south, where it was clear that
the population had fallen off, the returns show
an increase from thirty to fifty per cent. The
opinion is quite freely expressed that heavy
frauds have been perpetrated for political pur-
poses There is serious talk of ordering the
census taken over again in some sections of
the south. Gen. Walker of course will saw
nothing nor express any opinion until the COM
plete returns are in. The President is quoted
as saying that he does not belive the census
has been correctly taken in some of the south
ern states,

siderable restlessness among the Indians in the

far advanced that no active hostilities are anti
cipated this year. Eagle Eye, with lot of

mountains and makes occasional raids on out
lying ranches. Lieut.. Farrell, with his COM

in that neighborhood. There are some pros
poets of trouble also around Unatila reserya-
ton, there being much bad blood between the
whites and Indians. The Pi Utes are also
restless.

BLAINE AGAIN.

He Seems Un'ble TO Keep His Pen Out OF
the Ink Bottle-He Communicates the
Results of HIS Manipulations to Jewell,
AUGUSTA, Me. September l7.-Blaine
has sent the following telegram to-day
to Hon. Marshall Jewell, Chairman oil
National Committee, at New York:
ave have the complete returns, with
the exception OF few distant planta-
tons and give you summary OF the
result. In the election OF 1879 the Re-
publicans lacked l,045 votes oil major
ity. This year we have made gains in
twelve counties, hold our own in two
counties, and in two other counties we
have made slight losses. Our net gain
in the whole State by counties IS
reckoned at 1900 as the minimum.
with possible maximum OF 1000, max.
ing Governor Davis reelection GER
tainty no longer denied by his oppo-
nents. His majority over Plaisted will
probably not vary much from 400. We
have chosen three-fourths oi the county
officers, more than two-thirGs OF the
State Senate, and large majority OF the
House of Delegates, giving us complete
control of the State government in all It's
branches. Our only regret is the failure
to regain the Fourth and Fifth Con-
gressional districts. We succeeded in
reducing the majority in each to about
one.third of the Fusion majority two
years ago, but the Democratic alarm
over the result in Vermont caused an
application OF arguments in both dis
tricts during the last week, which we
could not meet.

The Latest Intelligence Received
Up to an Early Hour this
Morning.

Unless the Democrats in Maine are
yigilaut and determined, it is possible
that they will be tricked out OF their
victory after all. General Plaisted has
undoubtedly been elected Governor by
a small majority. Even Mr.. Blaine him
self, before he conceived the idea oi
working" the returns, conceded the
fact. Bat now, as the remote, and here
toiOre strongly Democratic, towns cor
tinue to s,raygle along, each with its
quota of surprising Radical gains" it
appears almost certain that the
legally elected Gubernatorial can
didate will be cheated out
OF his hard earned triumph, and delib-
erately counted out OF office by the ras
cally leaders of the Republican party in
the state. 1t is absurd to suppose that
the Republicans were mistaken when
they first acknowledged their defeat.
Had there been the slightest doubt about
it they would have admitted nothing,
but on the contrary would have claimed
everything. The only explanation is
that since then they have discovered
that by tampering with the returns
Gen. Plaisted may be defauded OF the
Governorship, and their own repudiated
candidate boosted into his place, and
have gone to work with a will to accom-
plish that end.

Seen in The New Eng

A BIG THING FROM FIRST TO LAST.

September II wal the 250th anniver.
sary OF the day September Z fold Style,
1880, when Boston received its present
name. The Indians called the peninsu-
la Mushauwomuk, or Shawmut for short,
and Winthrop and his followers first
styled it Tramontaine, from its three
hills. The appellation survives in the
word fremont. Boston is corruption
OF Botolph's Town, st. Botolph having
founded a monastry in Lincolnshire,
England, which gave title to the old
world Boston, now so far outstripped
by its American namesake.
Boston was not a large place until a
comparatively recent period. One hun
dred years ago, though century and a
half old, its population was less than 20
600, and when it ifcelebrated its 20Oth an
nversary in 1880 it had only 81 1892 in
habitants. Since that time its growth
has been very rapid, though largely by
annexation. 1t is next to New York,
the oldest of American cities of the first
rank, and has maintained leading posi-
ton in colonial, revolutionary, and Ma.
tonal affairs through both the strong
individuality and the restless energy of
its chief men.
