TEN to endure forty days fast Why the Democratic
party has been fasting for twenty years, and Is
still alive, but by the grace of the Southern pull
dozer it must be added.
Kansas is envious of being tho banner State OF
the Republicans in this campaign and proposes to
roll up majority that will serve as landmark In
future years. 1t will be an honest majority, too,
and not gained by bulldozing and counting out the
opposition.
If the Democrats want TO make a test of the fraud
issue why don't they nominate Charles Francis
Adams for some object He would be buried so
deep that when some one happened to come across
his fraud brand it would be regarded as relic OF
the pliOcene age.
The Indiana Republicans have begun the CAM
paign early and propose to keep it up late. Secre
tary Thompson opened it with a good speech to
large audience last Saturday at Terre Haute. and
this meeting will be followed by others in every
part Of the State. But those who have charge OF
the canvass do not propose to depend upon speech

strong confidence pervades the Connecticut Re-
publicans that they will be able to give that State
to Garfield in November. There are several facts
which go TO prove that this confidence is not with
ont basis. Tildens majority in 1875 only
2, 800. The Democrats had then controlled the
State for two years and had wiped from the statute
book the laws protecting the balot-bOx. This gave
them free range to carry out the Ilden plan of cam
paign. Now, however the situation is considerably
changed. The Republicans have control of the
Legislature, and most of the safeguards against
fraud have been restored What is better still, the
party is thoroughly united and ready for organza-
ton. The Republicans Of the Nutmeg State are
evidently eager to redeem the reputation they lost
IN 1876 Of having never let the State Democratic
