Had the State OF New York been left TO its

by the National Democratic Committee, the

continuation OF the war system OF taxation.

CONNECTICUT IS REPUBLICAN,.
The state Carried for Harrison by
Small Majority.

Connecticut has gone Republican by about
800 on a total vote aggregating nearly i4j 900.
Hall Dem claims election In the Third Dis
trict, but this Is doubtful. From present in
dcations the Republicans gain one Congrc ss-
man, Simonds, in the First District.
The Cournnt figures that with two small
towns to be heard from, which cannot change
the result, Cleveland has 40 plurality.
Returns received by the Evening Post from
ia town show Republican gain OF 1924
over the vote OF 1884. and the same ratio OF
gain In the remaining towns will give the
State to Harrison by about 40.
Complete returns from the State, except
the town Of sherman, Fairfield County, give
the following results: Harrison, 1i,f07 (;
Cleveland, 7i,Sl5 Fisk. 1879; scattering, 90.
These returns were collected by the Conncc-
tlcut Telephone Company.
The total vote OF this city on President was
1884. Cleyelands plurality Is 81, against
go in 1894. The plurality Of Bulkcly Ucp.)
for Governor in Hartford is 81. For Con-
grcss Vance Dem.) has a plurality OF 30.
A Democratic State senator and two Demo-
cratic Representatives are elected.

There seems 10 be no doubt that Harrison

from complete. but that they show nndoubtcd
republican gains can not be denied.
Tho republicans claim that they have car
i.lcdAle state OF New York by 10000 major
ify, while the democrats claim that they have
the city OF New York by over $1,000 and
Brooklyn by nearly $4,000 majority. The
facts are that TIarrison's majority Is about
1000. The returns FROM Indiana are ex-
asyersfingly slow for both parties, aud Is
claimed By both. the chances probably being
that itis republican by a very small majority.

There seems 10 be no doubt that New Jer-

Tho Democrats elect the following Con.

The Republicans elected Bergen in the

The complexion OF the Legislature remains
in doubt, but the probabilities are that the
Democrats elect enough members TO have a

to raise their own supplies, and so
to speak, live at home, they are

motives We know and to get votes,
without caring a straw about farm

easy matter to float with the tide.

and protection. They have made
a start in the right direction and it
the carry out doctrines of their

they will succeed. If they get q
man in the organization who is un-
worthy Of membership he ought to
be turned out at once. The order
will succeed in spite Of the efforts
of pretended friends to divert il
