THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
INDICATIONS OF CLEAN DEMO-
C8ITIO SWEEP IN CONNECTICUT.
Three Democrats lnstend OF Ono In the

Next Congress. and Excellent Chance
for Majority On the State Ticket.
HARTFORD Nov. 1.-Things look very Demo-
cratic In Connecticut this yoar. At present the
State is represented In the lower House Of
Congress by three Republicans and one Demo-
crat. These figures arc likely to be reversed
By Tuesdays elections. Congressman Wilcox.
the only Democrat in the present delegation is
sure to succeed himself In the Second district.
Lewis Sperry, tho Democratic nominee in the
First district is making a splendid light, and
syen Republicans shake their heads obviously
whom asked II Congressman Simonds will be
returned. 1t is almost certain that Mr. Sperry
will be elected. Democrats here state positive
ly that there is no doubt about 1t. and.
indeed. It looks as II they were right.
Mr.. Smonds has made some enemies
through Federal appointments in tho
district, and these have been whetting
put up their knives for election day. Besides

Sperrv. he stands an even chance OF election
With Congressman Miles. AS Mayor of Bridge
port he made an official record.which brings
him tho respect Of all. He has u large personal
following, and he is making 1t decidedly warm
for his opponent.
There Is little hope that David A. Wells can
carry tho Third district Tor the Democrats, or
that the Democrats can carry it for him. In
the first place, 1t is q strong Republican dis
trict. Then Mr. VOLS has too long been re-
garded as FREQ trader-although he declares
that no has mover been anything but protec-
tlonist-for Connecticut Democrats t. make
their strongest fight for him. He Is making
strong fight for himself. but it Is uphill work
and no ono believes he can be elected
= The Democratic State ticket stands an excel
lent chance Of election on Tuesday or course
the Democratic candidates will got n plurality
of the votes cast but that Is not enough. In
this State majority vote Is necessary to elect
State officers. All the Democratic leaders are
confident this majority can hc obtained There
are no differences In the party. 1t has not
been LONG since there was o Cleveland wing
and Hill wing. but tho shoutels for Cleveland
are now seldom heard from. The sentiment Is
overwhelmingly for David b. Hill for President
n 1894, because ho represents Democi acy IA
Democrats In Connecticut understand it. and
because he can carEy the State Of New York
and be ele e'ted. With this united front the
Democrats have gone into the light, aud VIC
tory seems cert ain to be tho result.

That Pierre will get almost two.

DDS will drive the bulk ofthe friends

Grill wants you to lool

FARMER Grill wants you to look
back % years At the platforms Of
the republican party and e what
il has promised, and he intimates
that It has fulfilled none OF its prom
lees. Bless your soul, Farmer Grill,
the republican party made it posi-
BILE for three-fourths Of the farmers
Of this county to own q farm. by
giving US the Homestead and pre-
emption laws. AT least three fourths
Of our farmers came here poor,-if
land had been selling for 5Octs per
acre they couldn't have bought a
potato patch and paid for it. But
BY the provisions Of the benificent
Homestead law they could take a
LED acres free, and at a nominal
price they could add, 160 acres
more to the farm. You may
take the farmers, as a class
in this county and not
w~ithstanding grasshopper raids and
other drawbacks they have succeed
ed better than q majority Of the
business men Of the towns. There
are lots Of farmers in II county to-
day who came here Is or 20 years
ago without scarcely a dollar in
their pockets, who are worth, free Of
NIL debts, from 100000 to $4,000.
Farmer Grill may take the laboring
men Of our town and lie will find a
large majority Of them own their
little homes and are living happy
and comfortably. Friend Grill
would have you believe that the
country was in deplorahle state Of.
affais,-that the mrmers and labor
ing men were ignorant. debt ridden
and poverty stricken beyond all re-
coyery. Let him break away from
the dozen or SO lazy political louis
who hover around him at the store
III Richland, talking anarchy and
the best modes Of conducting the
the government, while their wives
are perhaps at home blowing,
chopping wood and shaving to keep
body and soul to-gether--tear your
self away friend Grill, we say, from
these associations and look around
you and see the actual condition of
affairs. The farmers OF Union Coun-
" are an intelligent, industrious
class Of people, thanks to the mag
nificient free school system Of our
country, which is the heaviest bur-
den of taxes imposed upon them,
and which they so cheerfully and
willingly pay.
