 EyTHUsrASA IND CONFIDENCE.
 It Is ungrAeious work to turn the hose on a blaze Of enthusiasm. It is also un- gracious work 10 hint that complete confidence may possibly be unwarrant- d by reason and facts. Enthusiasm and confidence are ooth beautiful and attractive qualities and they are as oonta gious as the itch in m orphan asylum. !ust now the Republicans Of Connecticut are glowing with both en- thusiasn and confidence. They feel that the vote tr thsir nominees this fai. will Dc almost unanimous. and their feeling is toroibly made manifest in the .Aci that most of thsm want to be se- lsctsd as standard bearers in the glorious campaign which is to end in glorious victory. They know that those who are called will have their election made suzs, and they are !ntently listen ine 70 ss not % miss tho call which the next breeze may bring to their alert ears.
 But beautiful and attractive and con- tagious as enthusiasm. and confidence are there can be too much of either or both. When the young man sits in the gloomy shadow of a blasted life he wishes that hs hadn't allowed his enthu- siastic love for and confidence in his best girl to blind him to the fact that he was not the only young man in the world, and when the depositor in busted" savings bank looks at his fu- tile pass book he wishes that he had had less confidence. With these and other similar and instructive incidents of life in mind 1t may be wise for the Republicans of Connecticut not to con- slider the campaign over before it is be- gun or to count their chickens before their eggs are even laid. It will be sen sible to proceed as if there were going to be a real contest and not as if the Democrats were going to lie meekly upon by the Republican war-horses and mangled by the swift-rolling chariot will be wise to make just as good nomi- nations as if there were the usual doubt of the election of the nominees. It will be wise to put the infringement of the campaign into just as efficient and skillful hands as can be had. And then it will be wise for all interested in the Republican cause to work as hearti- ly and consistently as they would if they didn't feel sure of the result.
 AS an illustration of what might possibly happen we will remark that Banker and Broker Benedict of Wall street and other places may be chosen to lead the Democrats to the defeat which is of course surely awaiting them, He may knock the head out of tall w ing him to lead the Democrats to sure defeat to take from the contents of the barrel what they think can be used where it will do the most good. They may scoop liberally from that barrel and they may find even in this right sous and steady state large number of voters who may consider a little ready money in these distressful times of more value than much pure and profit less patriotism. Of course they will not find enough to make Banker and Broker Benedict Governor Benedict, but they may find enough to impress Re- IDuDNCdxS WILL tlC IO3tt I1lt>l and confidence are not all that is neces- sary to victory even in political con- test which is ended before it is be- gun.
 Moral: Make first-class nomination: and then work as if defeat were as probable as victory If the vote for thu Republican candidates is practicall1 unanimous, as enthusiasm and conf dcnce now proclaim it will be. the ex tra work will do no harm. It will giv' ' the boys exercise and enable each ont \ of them to feel and say that he was {
 large part of the famous fight and z , large cause of the famous victory.
