The Connecticut Election.

The carrying of Connecticut in
November may be, though we dol. t
think it will be. all-important to the
Democratic party. In any case it is
interesting to know just how it did
go the other day. The aggregate
vote in the town elections show near
~ the same results as in 1876, the
difference being slight gains by the
Democrats. The system OF reckon
ing by the number of towns carried
which was the one adopted by the
Associated Press, is fallaclous anu
absurd in the extreme. The Repub-
licans control the smaller towns and
the Democrats the larger ones. In
the calculations send out OF the way

it's due proportion of the increase as
