Under the rotten borough election system
Of Connecticut, which Is a relic Of colonial
days. each town Incorporated before 1855, no
matter what Its size, IL entitled TO two aud
not more than tive representatives. In The
lower house OF The General Assembly.
Towns incorporated since that date baee,
with few exceptions. only one representative
each IN the same body. AZ a consequence
LItchfeid, Windham, Holland, and Mid
dlesex counties, with $500 voters,
have 100 representatives. while the
cities OF New Haven. Bridgeport, and
Hartford, with 1898 voters, are repre-.
sented by only six members. Yet there are
papers In Connecticut that are continuously
pratiug about the suppression OF votes at
the South. II the Connecticut system is
not an outrageous form 0; suppressinG votes,
what Ia IT : seeing tbSt frequently the votes
Of the majority do not amount to row OF
pins. This IS particularly the case in elec-
tiops for state officers. A majority Of the
popular vote east Is necessary 10 a choice, and
should there be no choice by the people the
General Assembly elects, This system
has none Of the advantages, fairness.
or elements Of equality involved in the
choice Of President and Vice-Prendent OF
the United States by the electoral colleges,
or the election OF those officers respectively
by the House aud the Senate. by the Con-
necticut way OF doing things "tbe will OF
the people" is In many cases treated as mere
moonshine. It strikes us that in the matter
OF election reform Connecticut needs 10 get
rid Of very large beam in her own eye be-
fore she can be able to see clearly enough to
take the mote out OF the eye of the South.
