connecticut's Democratic Governor.

The Supreme Court of Connecticut on
Wednesday decided in effect that Morris, the
Democratic candidate for Governor last
November, was elected. Morris had unques-
tipnably a plurality. On the face of the
returns he had also majority of all the votes
cast. But it was alleged by the Republican
politicians that the majority was due to the
exclusion of great number of ballots having
the word "for'' before the name of the Re-
publican candidate. The Republican branch
Of the Legislature, backed by Governor
Governor Morris's election. The judges of
election excluded the ballots in question as
being marked improperly, and the Supreme
Court decides that they did right to exclude
them Bulkely, the former Governor, has
been holding on, using force to maintain him
self in an office to which he was not elected
and for which he was not candidate.

The counties now exempt from the opera
tons of the Australian ballot law are Carroll,
Baltimore, Garrett, Talbot, Kent, Caroline,
Dorchester, Montgomery and Hartford. The
law does not apply to three of the four coun-
ties in the second congressional district; to
four of the eight counties in the first district;
and to two of the FIVE counties in the sixth
district. Thus in three congressional dis
tricts the election machinery is not uniform.
Another Reed Congress might make this
want of uniformity pretext to GUST duly
elected Representatives. To avoid such
contingency it would be well to make the law
uniform and extend the new system to the
entire State

Senator Quay says Mr.. Blaine can have
Pennsylvania delegation to the national
convention whenever he wants it. He will
not be likely to want it. He is not as popu-
lar with his party as he once was, and he was
not strong enough then to poll the party vote.
One defeat is probably quite sufficient for
Mr. Blaine.

From the hesitancy of the Prince OF Wales
in his testimony and the failure of counsel to
test his memory, it would appear that the
heir.apparent was little too gay with wine
during the baccarat games at Tranby Croft to
exactly know everything that occurred. Some
of the other witnesses will not be treated so
generously, and evidence will be introduced
10 show that they were inexperienced in the
game aud that their eyesight and memory
gave way before too frequent lbations.

FRANK BROWNS CANDIDACY.
His support Among the Farsners-Press
Opinions.

From the Farmers Alliance Journal, May 10.
FARMER BRowN-The Alliance Journal places
before its readers today the portrait of Hon. Frank
Brown, the farmer politician, as the next Governor
Of Maryland.
We do not claim more than an ordinary share of
the spirit of prophecy yet, if this gentleman is not
more farmer than politician, and more patriot than
either. then our knowledge of human nature is Mt
fault We believe that he truly and honestly rep
resents the principles the farmers in Maryland are
standing for today and that no mere partisan CON
sderation can withdraw him from all honorable
efforts for their advancement
So believing we throw his banner to the breeze,
and ask Gods blessing the Of equal rights
without monopoly, and a fair fight and an open
field for every man.

Reciprocity and the Farmer.

Congressman Roger q. Mills in the May Forum
Reciprocity with the southern countries is
advanced for the benefit of our farmers to
open more markets for breadstuffs and pro
visions. If its advocates are sincere in want.
ing to find larger markets for agricultural
products, why do they not move for reciprocity
with Europe instead of with South America?
Europe takes from us more than 100000 600
in agricultural products yearly, which is sixty
times as much as the southern countries take.
If reciprocity with South America would in
crease our exports so per cent.-and it prob
ably would-it would open market for
IS, 600, 900 more of farm products, and similar
results, following from reciprocity with
Europe, would increase our exports of farm
products by $500, 100000
Now, if the farmer is the person TO be ben.
Gifted we must look eastward, not southwark,
for markets. The best markets for farm
products are not to be found among agricul
tural, but among manufacturing, mining and
mercantile communities A nation of farm
ers offers the best market to manufacturers,
and it is for that reason that reciprocity with
the agricultural countries of the south is so
earnestly sought. The ''other products viii
get the benefits, and the farmers, as usual,
will receive all the compliments of the season.
