CAMPAIGN NOTES.

lection is great and inquiries and specula-
lon as to the probable result are endless. A
eading republican said last evening: The
ampaign has been most systematically and
thoroughly worked up by the republican
eaders, much more 80, reports indicate,
han has been the case on the other side of
The house. All reports from the repub-
lican leaders are highly encouraging. The |
leaders are confident that Connecticut ia |
all right. both as to the presidential and
state tickets, and expect to elect three out
of the four congressman. The democrats
claim audaoiously the state also, and three
but the rank and file of the
democracy are not as sanguine by far as is
usually the case. Betting men among
democrats fight shy of giving any odds for
either Cleveland or Morris in this state.
There will be, the republican leaders say,
an unusually large republican vote polled
tomorrow. They expect to get out nearly
the full republican vote of the state. They
say that the protection doctrine has al
ready demonstrated itself to the working
men of the United States as alto
quickened many industries and created
many new manufactures and new in
dust1ies for the United States. The hat
ters in Danbury, Bethel and Norwalk are
more than pleased with protection, and
the great boon it has undeniably given the
American hating industry, which was
languishing badly until revived by the
operation of the Mckinley bill. So, too,

respective of party, and many democratic
farmers will vote the republican ticket.
The corset interest in Connecticut-a big
interest in New Haven has been
greatly stimulated by protection, and 80
the industries multiply, as seen all over
| this state-a busy hive of manufacturing
industries-of the good work the Mckinley
bill is accomplishing-work which speaks
| for itself and which the democratic talk
about free trade and raw material is
powerless to refute. The democrats have
been bestirring themselves of late. They
| were dreadfully apathetic in the fore
part of the campaign. OF late, however,
they have been holding rallies of all sorts
all over, from Bourke Cochran and Tom
Waller rallies down to the little ones in
the small places. The republican leaders
however, never were more confident of vic
tory. The campaign in these parts has
been a vigorous one from the start. Every
