as large as usual. The weather is
threatening.
HARTFORD, November THE vote
has been quite full Throughout
the State there has been a falling off
from the vote of 1880, the Republi-
can loss being very much greater
than the Democratic. 1t is probable
that Eaton is elected to Congress
from the 1st district. The proba
bility is that the Democrats have
elected the State ticket and three
Congressman. Waite, Republican,
is undoubtedly elected in the 3rd
district.

and several hurt by bricks. A woman
was also shot in the breast, but is
not seriously injured.
