THE same fsteful news Of Republican

THE conduct Of the Republicans ali
over the country shows plainly that they
do not expect further lease Of power BY
popular msjorities. They have deter
mined TO brave the disgust Of the people
They have become satisfied that they can
get cfice or retain Office only by force,
fraud and wholesale bribery. They are
acting as revolutionists in Connecticut,
and have determined to seat their de-
feated candidates regardless OF the
Constitution. The Democrats Of Con-
necticut may object and prevent this
but even h.they do not the people Of III,
entire country win resent 1t and al
