CONNECTICUT,

Reports from Connecticut are very encourag-
ing AZ to the Republican prospects In that otate
in to-day's election. The Democrats, encour-
aged by the situation OF affairs III New DIX
and PENNSYLVANIA and elated over the result I'd

camnaipn for their State and Congressional
tickets but il has consisted almost entirely Oh
brao and buster In the arguments they have
addressed to the people to indnce them to vote
the Democratic ticket they have been slngu-
larry unfortunate. The River anu Harhor niil'
upon which they placed SO much reliance ~ the
beginning cf the canvass was fonnd 10 De
boomerang since the only Connecticut app1o'
priation in it to which any objection was raised
was one originally inserted 10y ex-senator Eaton
when in the Senate, and afterward continued
upop the motion of the only Democratic mem
Der of Congress in the State delegation. They
were similarly kicked by the temperance q es-
ton, on which they expected to make consld-
cradle CAPITAL. two OF their candidates Tor
State offices being on record as voting Tor the
prohibi ory amendment to the Constitution.
The appearance OH the stump OF Mr. Waller,
their candidate for Governor, which was ex-
pected to STIR up a great deal of enthusiasm. 1t
is now believed has been a damage rather than
a help to the ticket.
Made desperate by these failures, the party
newspapers have resOrted to blackguardism
and abuse Of the Republican candidates
Their chief dependence, however, has been
upon the assistance of the liquOr-dealers and
the fund raised by their association. Through
this influence and the detection of q portion OF
the German vote from the same cause, the Re
publican vote will be cut down somewhat III
the cities aud the majority In the State dimin-
ished. There is no doubt of the election of
Republican Legislature. The vote for Cover
nor and other State officers will be close, rs it
always is, but with the chances decidedly
favoring the Republicans. In the list Congress
sonal District Mr.. Buck, the present member,
will be elected over ex-senator Ea,OD, his
Democratic opponent. In the lid, which is or
dinarly reckOned re for the Democrats, there
is good reason for believing that General ). L.
Merwin, Republican, will be elected over Alr.
Charles l.. Mitchell, whose nomination caused
considerable disatfectiOn in the Democratic
ranks. In the Hid District the Hon. John I.
Wait, Republican and present member, has a
walk-over. In the lYth, which has been
represented by Miles, Republican, the latter's
decllnaJlOn OF u fenOHlnallon anu the seItc-
ton by the Democrats of Mr.. Edward w.
Seymour as their candidates. gentleman of
great personal popularity-have placed the
result somewhat in doubt. The Hon. Lyman
w. Coe is himself, however a very popular
candidate, and his friends express great con-
fidence in his election.
The Republicans count certainly on carry
ing the Legislature and electing their State
ticket with three and very likely all four of
the Congressman.

TO-DAYS ELECTIONS.

To-day we shall have new proof that the
Democratic party is a public nuisance. If
there only existed in this country patriotic
and loyal opposition, animated by sincere con-
victions, and intelligently striving to convince
the people of its own trustworthness and of
the Justice of its cause. how different the re-
suit would be Loyal voters might then feel
that they could safely intrust such q party
with power for a time whenever their own
needed repairs. But the Democratic party
that Is quite a different affair. 1t has convic-
tons. 1t does not even try to convince the
people at all, but only to rob them by armed
mobs or fraudulent voting. Its loyalty was
shown twenty years ago, so plainly that men
remember it whenever they visit the graves of
those who died that the Nation might live. Its
patriotism, such as it has, appeared in recent
revolutionary struggles to overthrow freedom
of suffrage, and to nullify laws providing for
fair elections. Whatever it once was, that
party has become mere conspiracy to get
Office by dishonest means.
The presence of such an opposition, and the
absence of any that patriotic voters could con-
scleuliously trust have exposed the Republican
party to the severest tests. Worthless or dan.
gerous men have been tempted to clutch the
control of it, here or there, because they be-
lieved the people would sustain even them
rather than transfer the power 10 the Demo-
cratic party. Leaders have been degraded
into mere bosses, by feeling that control
OF Republican nominations was all that was
| requisite. The faithful and manly appeal to
the judgment and conscience of voters by
which the Republican party gained and long
retained the power has given place in many
localities to mere trckery. Trading politi-
clans have sprung up, as destitute of principle
as Democrats themselves, and at some points
have captured the organization. Then. az
often as the intelligent and honest Republican
voters see these evils and wish to correct them.
the Democratic party takes hope, strips off
whatever mask it has been wearing and pro-
ceeds ~ conduct itself OutrageOusly that
independence indifference seems little less
than a crime against free government.
Ii is the plain truth that the existence of an
opposition so justly detested and dreaded as
the Democratic party, and the danger of put
ing that party into power by any attempt to
create a Dew one or to correct Republican errors,
has been most potent cause of Republican
shortcomings. Behind all its errors, the heart
Of the Republican party is sound. loyal and

honest. At every election for the past twenty

Republican voters have seized the opportunity

real meaning OF the recurring weakness sho"n
I'm "of years. when defeats In thls OF tha'
State could not wholly transfer the power from

could be swept out of being for one short year,
in that wear the Republican voters would

it ever was in its glorious youth.
But for that public nuisance called the Demo-

that the people have an increased respect for
or confidence in the Democratic party, but that
they think Republican errors can be corrected
without the risk Of bringing the Democratic
party into power. If that nuisance were only
out of the way the cure would be swift and
complete.

NEH ELLCTION LAWS.

Voters should remember that the New
York City Consolidation act OF 1887" passed
last July, and published complete only about SIX
weeks ago. contains q reenactment OF all the
special laws governing elections in New York
City; and is the primary authority by which
they are 20 be conducted. No doubt election
officers and candidates have scanned "ChaptHr
XIV, Elections of this new code, carefully
but many voters will go to the polls not know
ing that the local laws of which they have
been accustomed to hear in years past have
been superseded by this compilation. Who
ever wishes TO confront inspectors or political
managers who may he misconducting them
selves with statement OF the law, needs to
consult the new statute. 1t contains minute
directions regulating the appointment OF officers,
the preparation of ballots and ballot boxes, the
conduct of registration and management OF the
polls on election day, and the canvassing Ut the
votes.
Attention has been called by some of the
journals to the necessity that every ballot
should bear caption "; and to the danger
that ballots which are not properly printed In
this respect may be thrown out. 1t is very
true that law passed May 24, 1880, did direct
caption W and this law Is made applicable
in the City of New-Yo as well rs elsewhere in
the State. But it does not necessarily follow
that ballots which do not conform are to be
rejected in the canvass. The law of 1850 says
that the persons who print, distribute or cast
ballots without captions shall be liable to
fine and Imprisonment, but does not say that
the ballots shall be thrown out. The New
York City law contains seveIa al clauses author
izng canyassers to throw out votes when more
are thrown IN Il ballot-bOx than are recorded on
the voting lists, but does not give right to re-
ject them for infOrmahty OF printing. The
tendency of opinion in the courts is that all
ineligible, honest ballots should be counted
that informalities which do not obscure the real
will of the people may be disIegarded. A Mas
sachusetts law passed in 1880, directing u style
of printing ballots, says expressly that ballots
shall not be rejected for defects. 1t may be that
New York courts will decide in the same way
as matter of legal principle.

large church. Many cergymen declare two SER

some of them find that only small portion OF their

1t is not often that pastor Resigns his pulpit be-

AR0uT YONR RALLOTS.

We refer readers to the full State and County
tickets of both parties, elsewhere printed, for
lists of candidates which they will surely wish
to consult to-day, in making up their OWE
ballots.
We advise, in general, the support of the
Republican State ticket, and of the Citizens
County ticket.
But we advise that Mr.. B. Platt Carpenter,
candidate for Leutenant-G Governor on the
State ticket be scratched by everybody, and
that the same be done to Mr.. How
ard Carroll, the ridiculous nominee
for Congressman-at-Large put up by the
fraudulent State Committee. Carpenters SELL
ing out after midnight and getting his
pay in the nomination within twenty-fOur
hours were as dIsgraceful incidents as any in the
whole disgraceful record OF the Saratoga COnven-
ton. CAROLS conduct in serving as Grand
boy for the Machine down to the day when
the worthless bone OF this nomination
was thrown HIM, and then trying to humbug
the public into believing him RefOrmer, is
a piece of Juvenile impudence almost without
a parallel.
On the County ticket we do not advise the
support of Solomon, one of the candidates
for Judge, or of McCue, one of the candidates
for Coroner. The storm of accusations about
Salomon's anti-Jewish record sufficiently
prove what we said the morning after
his nomination; to-wit, that his is the weakest
name on the ticket. We do not think, however,
that they make out very grave case. But they
do show how a dull, fat-witted man may dam
age himself when he thinks he is at his very
smartest and how unfit such person is for
the Superior Court. This is not the sort of
colleague to give the accomplished and upright
Scudder. McCue's qualification for Coroner
is that he belongs to the "PurrOy White
gang" Well; that is reason enough to us for
being against him.
Finally, we earnestly urge every reader to
support our candidates for Representatives in
Congress and Assemblymen. Let us do all we
can to save the Legislature and the House of
Representatives.
