The Connecticut Democrats.

The Connecticut democrats had an
interesting and lively time at their
state convention last week. The con-
test was between the old and young
elements of the party, and the young
democracy triumphed in the nominal
ton of brilliant Tom Waller of New
London, eX-mayor of that ancient sea-
port town.
For many years A. +. Burr, editor of
the Hartford Times, has carried the
democratic party of that state in his
brceches- pocket. He and w. II. Bar
mum, chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee in the late presiden
tial campaign, draw their political wis
dom from the same source. The young
Ell element of the party has been Strug-
Cling for several years for recognition,
but the "old guard" have always tri-
umphed.
The dictatorial policy and bad mans
agcment of the Times has had the eff
feet of giving the city OF Hartford,
which is naturally democratic, to the
republicans. With the decline of the
Burr dynasty the New Haven Reg
lister came forward to grasp the leader
ship from the Capitol city. Its staff is
made up of young and aggressive men,
and under the banner of Tom Waller
it has made an earnest fight for the
New London attorney as representa-
tive of the young democracy.
The platform is as long as the "'mor-
al law 1t is full of irrelevant matter
and glittering generalities, and makes
a bid for the license vote in declaring
opposition to all laws relating to the
sale of liquor which shall infringe on
personal liberty.

dollars. He well added that the wom
en- of the church were doing their full
share in this work.
As usual there was an array of in
tellectual and spiritual giants at this
Portland meeting. 1t may seem invid-
iOus to call names where there were so
many of the leading men of the Con-
gregational church of this country to-
gether; but it does not fall to the lot
of all to hear in one week, when at
their best, such men as President Mark
Hopkins, Secretaries Clark and Alden,
Prof. Park. DR.. X. 5. StOrrs, DR.. Ben
rends, DIR. f. p. Goodwin, l.. T. Cham
berlin, DR.. Stephenson, DIR. Webb,
Missionaries Schauffier, Park, Akin
son, Clark and many others.
One marked feature of the meetings
of the Board, which cropped out in the
sermon and in all the leading addresses
during the three-days' meetings was
the tendency to rebuke the ''liberal'
views of modern orthodoxy, of which
the Rev. Newman Smyth has come tC
be regarded as the representative. TIL,
spirit of all the addresses was in favor
| of IA closer allegiance, not only to the
old doctrines of the denomination
but to the old Interpretation of them
This spirit was so strongly manifest
and apparently without concerted de
sign, as to make it of much signifi
canoe.
The people of Portland laid them
selves out to do good thing and die
it. There were from two thousand tC
three thousand strangers in town be
sides those who came in from the SUI
burbs. The large and elegant city hal
seated nearly 1000, and several hun
dred chose to stand in the aisles rather
than 90 to the overflow meetings il
neighboring churches, one or two o
which were filled each day.
The Board meets next year at De
troit, with Rev. DR.. VIM. NJ. Barbour
aS preacher.

The President in Boston.

President Arthur, accompanied by
members of his cabinet and others, ar
rived in Boston on Wednesday morn
ing, bv the Fall River line from New
York. They were met ut the depot in
an informal manner 10y Gov. Long and
Mayor Green. and escorted by por
ton of the state troops to the Com
mon. where the entire state militia
was assembled to receive them. A
procession was made through the prin-
cipal streets, mt the conclusion of
which the president reviewed the
troops and occupied apartments luxu-
riously fitted for him at the Hotel
Brunswick as the guest of the city of
Boston, where he was entertained ut IL
lunch by Mayor Green, subsequently
being driven to Fancuil hall, where il
brief reception was held. The streets
were thronged with people and the
buildings were profuSely and tastefully
decorated in honor of the distinguished
guests.

enthusiasm of the entire body. They
are beginning to realize that the can
vass Is to be uphill work, in which
the inspiration and encouragement of
hearty popular support are wanting

To BE PUT ON RECORD.
Our Rhode Island senators NAV es-
cape the ordeal, but we venture to pre-
dict that the candidates for the lower
house of Congress from this state will
have to tell the people definitely
whether they believe in civil-service
reform or not, and especially what
their sentiments are in regard to pOlit-
zeal assessments. We expect that the
nominees of the republican party, at
least, will be men who have convic-
tiOns on this subject, and who will not
be afraid to make them known

MOST DANGEROUS FEATURE IN PUBLIC
AFFAIRS.
The most dangerous feature in the
public affairs of our state at this time
is the alleged corrupt use of money in
elections. The practice, it is asserted,
has increased rapidly, and now en-
braces the caucus and the convention.
If such a state of affairs does exist,
every intelligent and observing per
son is aware that we have well-nigh,
if not quite, reached condition where
no poor man, or even citizen of average
wealth, however capable and well-ft-
ted, can hope for political preferment

ABSENCE OF RELIGIOUS BITTERNESS.
Nothing has been more remarkable
throughout the whole of the recent
Irish agitation than the absence il
it of any element of religious bitterness
But then, does this tolerance, in itself
so excellent. proceed from sense OF
justice, or from il difference to religion
TO elect men of both creeds inditfer-
emily is, or may he, a sign of progress
but to murder men of both creeds in
differently, is not. One would like to
see Catholic rent-payers spared, OF
or Professionals who serve boycotted
farmers, even if there was little re.
ligiOus partiality in the sparing.

Sweeping Democratic victory
in Ohio.

The result of the election i'll Ohio on
Tuesday creates much astonishment.
\ democratic majority of 81, 900 is in
Dictated by the returns, and the demo-
Gratis elect fifteen and the republicans
possibly six of the congressman. Speak
er Kcifcr is elected. The temperance
question entered very largely into the
contest, the republicans champiOning
the temperance cause and the immense
resources of the liquor interest being
east for the democrats. A peculiar
feature is that the prohibition vote was
very large, and shows Il larger per cent
of increase than the democratic vote.
In West Virginia the returns are
more favorable for the republicans, Il
gain of two congressman being report
ed. The greenbackers largely voted
the republican ticket.

One day recently John Dunbar of
Chelsea went to the woods to get out
some logs. AS he did not return at
night, search was made for him, and
he was found lying on his face with a
log across his body. The accident
had occurred in some way seven or
eight hours before. He was taken
home and it was found that no bones
were broken, but the internal injuries
sustained proved fatal.

Geo. W. Wales, the secretary of civil
and military affairs, was shown an un-
prccedented honor in tie house on
Thursday afternoon. The senate and
the governor had been received by the
house standing, and the new members,
when the secretary made his appear
ancc, rose as one man to receive so
august a parsonage. 1t took several
loud knocks of the gavel and verbal
admonitiOn from the speaker before
they would sit down. Perhaps they
were waiting for the correct seating
raps. 1t is said that the secretary
bore his honors unblushingly. 1t
might bc well for the speaker to drill
the members in giving the ''honors" as
Is done i'll secret societies.

Make THE MOST OF TRICKER


The runners of the administration
machine show no disposition to purge
the party or their ticket of this con =
temptible trickery. On the contrary,
they propose to do all in their power
to make the most of it. But they will
find to their dismay that the election
will show large body of honest re-
publicans who do not look upon this
dirty business with the eyes of the
INSCRIPTIONS machine politician. -
