CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS WIN.
TIE SUPREME COURT DECIDES AGAINST TIE
DEMOCRATc IN THE CONTESTED
ELECTION GASES.

New Haven Sept. ~ (Spccal).-The Supreme
Court today handed down decision sustaining every
claim of the Republicans In the famous Guberna-
to,ia contested election the particular case
under consideration being that OF Phehn against
Walsh. The last prop has been knocked from tho
tottcrng Democracy. and the conspirators have nos
straw left to cling TO. The triumph Tor the hcpuD-
Iicans is overwhelming and complete.
Briefly stated. the substance of the controversy
Is as follows At the State election held I'm November,
1880 Connecticuts new secret ballot law first DO
came operative. This law provided that ballots fof
state officers should have printed upon them nothing
except the title of the Offices to be filed and the
names of the candidates, all printed in uniform type.
Tickets OF four 1iries, the Democratic Republican,
Prohibition and Labor in the field On the
Prohibition ballots the word For preceded the
word Governor" The Democratic managers had
carefully instructed Democratic managers IN au
towns TO have Democratic moderators reject all bal
lots possible cast by parties other than the Demo
cratic Hundreds OF Prohibition ballots having the
word For'' upon them were thrown out by Demo.
cratic moderators but In several towns Of more than
one voting district one Democratic moderator threw
ont the Prohibition ballots, while the others per.
mItted them to bs counted over 500 Republican
ballots we're rejected by Democrats on the ground
that they were double Notwithstanding the fact that
the law says that in Of double ballots one ballot
shall be counted In Bridgeport and other towns Re-
publican ballots were rejected by Democratic modera-
tors on the ground that they were marked One hun
dred and twenty -four ballots were thus rejected IN
bridgeport, notwithstanding the fact that expes0
declared that the speck upon them was made by ths
Irn,eis' rollers
The Constitution provides that on the first day Of
Its session the General Assembly shall appoint Joint
committee OF votes, consisting Of certain
number OF Senators and Represer taves, the duty OF
this committee being to canvass the votes cast for
State officers The General Assembly appointed the
committee but the Senate portion thereof at once in
sisted that the returns OF moderators must be
sidered final and that the General Assembly had no
power to 20 back OF those returns, no matter how
nanIfesty Illegal or erroneous they might be. The
Republicans made every possible effort to settle Ques
lions involved fairly but the Democrats refused all
offers and insisted that the returns Of moderat0rs weso
final.
Finally John J. Phelan Democratic candidate 10
Secretary State brought quo waIfanto proceedinO
against Il. J. Walsh the hcdover Secretary, to compel
him to show why he held Office. This case was
tried before Judge Hail. In the Superior Court he send
