Sorr-~p1ndence Of The Evening Star
NEW HAvKS, Oct. IS. 1891
The result Of the election in Connecticut is
hrsely contingent upon the result in the
second congressional district. That Il the
democratic stronghold. and the democratic
majority in the city Of New Haven il relied
upon N overcome republican majorities else
whore IN the state. The conditions In the dis
trict are not exactly to the republican liking
Cutil within few weeks the republicans had
hoped. and apparently with good reason, that
democratic dissfectiOn in this district would give
the state TO the republicans. There had been
bitter fght over the democratic nomination
for Congress. 40 bitter that it eliminated in an
oyeu row In the nominating convention, from
which over third Of the delegates seeded.
The nominee, John p. Pigott OF this city, had
been n rcsiduary legatee OF much OF the
luminosity which survived previous fights
among the democrats in this district and county
and. In addition. by his aggressiveness in
politics he had made enemies on his own &C
count.
The republicans naturally hoped that the
party contest would be taken TO the polls, with
possibly q repetition Of the result some years
ago under somewhat similar circumstances.
when the democrats lost the district. and Of
the result few wears later when the repubh-
cans captured the county. But their hopes are
not likely 10 be realized.

Pisotts election He may not poll the full
party strength in his district, but the demo-
ersts Who will scratch him are comparatively
few and their scratching Will not extend to the
rest of the democratic ticket The republicans,
therefore. look for little aid in this district

DEMOCRATIC PLANS.
The democrats, encouraged BY the settlement
Of their differences In this district. have been
spurred into activity by this. and by the i'm
patient protests Of the rank and file OF the
party. They have not a. much money as have
the republicans. they are not hiring many
bands OF burning 80 much kerosene. but II IA
evident that they have obtained some money,
or the promise OF It. They certainly doing
more work, and. though they begin late. they
threaten 20 make noise enough soon They
promise 20 bring into the state Adlsi +. Steven

Gov. Campbell % Ohio. Gov. Albeit OF New
jersey. Congressman Tsrsney OF Missouri. ex-
Congressman Russell Of Massachusetts. Wayne

child. Col Fellows Of New York and others.
which, with the local speakers. among whom are
eI-Gov. Waller and the democratic candidate
for governor. Judge Morris, viii make quite
aggregation Of talent. They propose putting
tn beat Of tins talent on special train and
run 10 all the state and assert that. in this
and other ways. they will wind up the cam
psign With hurrah.
WHAT TIE REPuBLrcASs SAY.
The republicans hear all this with compla-
cencv. Having done a pile Of work. having
had Major Mckinley and ex-Congressman Horr
and Mn.on and others IN the state thew are con-
tent now 20 lie on their oars for IA time and
watch what the other fellows are doing. They
argue that the democrats cannot be altogether
satisfied with the condition of things when
they find u necessary 20 try TO get such an ag
greration Of outside talent into the state.
They rather pleas that the democrats are

they say. but democratic noise may aid in get
ting out the republican reserve, which only
votes at presidential elections.
Thus far there mas not been yerv energetic
campaigning either side. On each side the
