loss of 1O1. In Mr. Barnum's own town OF
Salisbury, it is noteu that the Democratic
loss was 46. Against these figures the corre-
spondent sets the fact that IN New-Haven
Hancocks majority in 1880 was 3l9 greater
than Tilden's in 1876, and in New~London
Hancock gained 90 upon Tilden's majority In
view of these facts and figures, the correspond
emf calls ON Mr.. Barnum to rise and explain

Mr. Barnum, as is we'll known, was chairman
of the Democratic Natioual Committee. tie IS
also well known to be one of MI. T1den's most
intimate and confidential friends. 1t has al
ways been supposed, by Republicans at least
that he was very eficient-if anything, too
eAicient--ranager, and that he was very
hearty supporter of Hancock. But for that
matter the same thing Was thought OF Mr. Ill
den until the Birdsall disclosures threw doubt
upon it. Aud after all the figures adduced oy
this Connecticut Democrat may be only CO.
incidence, though it must be confessed some-
what remarkable one. Mr. Barnum, having
chivalrou,ly come forward to rescue the repu-
tation of his chief, will find it quite in order
now to stand up in defence Of his own. The
campaign to turn the rascals out" seems to
be making fine progress, though perhaps not
in the precise direction originally intended.
