Providence Journal: The unexpectedly large majority by which the democrats of Wisconsin have elected their state ticket and carried both branches of the legisla- ture is in all probability something which intelligent and patriotic Americans of whatever party must heartily deplore. Ac cording to all ante-election reports the ab- sorbing issue in Wisconsin this year was not either of those which divided the rest of the country, but turned on the repeal or continuance of the Bennett school law If that issue determined the result, then the victory of the democrats means that Q majority of the people desire the repeal of the law, as that was plank of the demo- cratic platform, while the republicans had committed themselves to the support of the statute in question. Now the Bennett law was, in brief, simply law for the com. pulsory. education of all children in the English language, and the opposition 10 it came from the foreign. speaking elements of the population which are proportionate- ly very large in that state. It was a man. ifestly proper and wholesome statute, and the victory of its opponents has every ap- pearance of being victory of alienism over Americanism. As such it is of course lamentable, and bodes no good for Wis consin's future.
 MT. William A. Slater, of Norwich, son of John F. Slater, the great cotton manu. facturer, who gave $1 ,OOO, 900 for educat- ing the southern freedmen, is following in his fathers footsteps in making splendid public donations. He recently built a $2U0, 900 hall in memory of his father and gave it to the free academy of Norwich. He has given $12 900 for $75, 900 theater, which is nearly built, and now he has do- mated $100, 900 for public hospital. Mir. William ". Backus, another wealthy citi- zen, is concerned in the hospital project. and will contribute $50, 900 to it. The to- tai endowment of the hospital is $l5O, GOO. It is to be on the Bulkeley estate in the northern suburbs. The estate is one of the finest in Norwich. The house, which is like chateau in style, is on knoll, tree-embowered, far back from the street, in spacious and handsome grounds. winding driveway leads up to it's doors. The site is very beautiful one. The house will be greatly enlarged and equip ped in an admirable way. The hospital will bear the name of Mir. Backus.

 IN Connecticut it appears that the election of governor is in doubt, but that all other candidates for state officers on the demo- cratic ticket are elected, though there is a possibility of lack of a majority against Treas urer Henry. On the face of the returns Morris has 8 majority of 27, but to effect this prohibition votes are thrown out in several towns because of reading 'tfor'' governor, etc., the other state tickets not having the word for on. In point of fact, if the pres ence or absence of the word for is fatal, then the prohibition ballots are the only proper ones cast, the sample ballot furnished by the secretary of state with every packet of of ficial paper sold having the for" on in all cases Also the Bridgeport moderator threw out 130 rspnbiican tickets because they were marked with pencil. The mark in every case comes m one place, and is very clearly caused by 8 speck from the mixing roller lodging upon the type while printing, and o1 course making it's impress upon every ballot so long as it remained there. The repubi. cans have a majority of 16 in the house, and the democrats majority of in the senate Republican majority on joint ballot 5.
 Massachusetts elects democratic governor ing good majorities for all other republican state officers except auditor.
 In about every state the democrats gair congressman. The democratic majority 1T the house of representatives to convene aftel March 4th, 1891 is estimated at 100 upwards depending largely upon the classification o some members elected by ''farmor's alliances at the west In Ohio, where the republicans carry the state by #, 900 majority, the redis tricting gives the democrats majority of tn, congressman. Mckinley, put into distric where he had nearly 5000 plurality to over come, according to the last previous vote cast made fight for reelection, and came out witl less than 300 plurality against him.
 In Wisconsin, where the issue was mad whether or not the English language should be the basis of school text books, the democ racy sweep the state by 20, 900 upon the plat form of allowing public schools wherein for eign languages might be the basis of study.
 In Pennsylvania the republican courted de feat by making weak nomination for gov ernor. The democrats elect the governor the republicans the rest of the state ticket.
