The General Result.

Little interest hinged on the general
election in the state. The vote was Il
light one, and it was only augmented
by local issues in different sections of
the state, that of temperance being the
most important. In the lower house
of the Legislature there are reported
only six democrats to ninety-seven
republicans. one greenbacker elected.
Much less than half the state has been
heard from. The returns indicate Il
republican vote of $1,000, and "A demo-
cratic vote of $1,000. Stewart is elect
ed in the second district by about TO-
900 majority.

There is reason for congratulatiOn
over the election of Judge Poland to
Congress. As far rs the returns have
boon received his majority over all OPP
posing candidates is 1900. 1t is due
him, however, i'll view of the fact that
the returns may be seen 10y those unfa-
miliar with the state of affairs, to state
that the opposition to him was begOt-
ten 10y personal prejudice and other
equally unworthy motives and by a
mistaken and misdirected zeal for Gen
Grout. That the latter has acted I'M
wisely in allowing his name to be used
as a candidate-as he must have been
aware of its use-very many who kind
ly regard Gen. Grout firmly believe.
A deeper question than that of person
al pique or revenge was involved. Ii
was that of a majority in the lower
house of the next Congress. Certain il
is that Gen. Grout would have done
himself great credit and evinced that
loyalty and devotion to those republi-
can principles of which he is repre-
sentative if he had publicly announced
that any such use of his name as had
been proposed was entirely without
his sanction.
Judge Poland will enter the mex
House with unusual prestige. Of vas
and varied experience in Congress ant
on the bench, he will do honor to the
district and state he represents. Ques
tons of great Importance will come be
fore the next Congress, and in his cleo
ton the interests OF the republican par
" and of the nation are subserved.

"Chip' Smith was hanged at New
Haven on Friday for the killing of Il
policeman. The funeral service took
place in one of the city churches on
Sunday. Father Brady, who delivered
the address, took for his text, "Man
born of woman lives but short time
and is filled with many miseries.n In
speaking of Smith he said that when
in full possession of his faculties he
was kind, agreeable, benevolent and
the peer of the very best of his con-
trercs. "Strong drink was his ruin
and brought him to dishOnorable
death" He dwclt at great length upon
the evils of intemperance and address
ed himself to the young men. 1t is
the same old story, and Smiths case is
one of the most effective Temperance
lectures. So unusual is ii public ser
vice in connection with an execution
that the funeral cortege was one mile
and half long, and the streets from
the church to the cemetery were lined
with people, the crowd being estimat-
ed at not less than 10000.

The type on which the regular re-
publican ticket was printed was also
used for IA split ticket by removing the
name of Henry French for judge of
probate and inserting that of Walter
p. Smith. This ballot deceived many,
as it had the state seal and was similar
in appearance to the genuine. In an
swer to inquiries we wish to say that
these votes were not printed at the
CaledOnidn office. If there is one mean
political trick which stands out i'll co
lossal proportions above all others it
is that of making an ignorant or unwa-
ry voter cast his ballot for a different
candidate from the one he intended.
In free country every man should
vote for whom he wishes to vote
otherwise the franchise is at the mercy
of demagogues and rascals.

One of Jay Hubbell's agents asked
permission of Secretary Folger to can
vass the treasury department for cam
paign subscriptions. He was refused
by the secretary and also by chief OF
division of the department to whom
he applied. He was not disheartened,
however, and went through the build
ing on his permission without the
countenance of the secretary. Civil
service reform will remain in the poll
ticians' paths until some equitable dis
position is made of the question.

Boiling has been endorsed by the

epithets now as heretofore.

The election in Arkansas on Monday
passed very quietly, although the vote
polled was an unusually large one.
The democrats carried the state by
about the usual majority. The tenn
perance issue figured largely in some
of the counties on the Legislative and
judicial tickets. There were three
tickets in the field. The Legislature
will elect United States senator. In
1850, Hancock had 10000 majority,
and in the state election that year the
democratic candidate for governor had
10000 majority. The republican vote
has very largely increased.
