\ THE THIRD CONNECTICUT
DISTRICT.

Mr. Raymond Jedoin. the democratic
candidate for congress IN the Third
Connecticut district last fall. is ac--
lively endeavoring to prove that he
ought to receive the certificate of cleo
ton instead of his republican, eppon-
emit, Representative Edward w. Hig-
gins. The returns are being subjected
to judicial scrutiny, and 1t is possible
that Mr.. Higgins plurality of seventy
eight will be upset. 1t is a narrow
margin at best, and the democratic
majority at Washington win certainly
not be prejudiced against Mr.. Jodoin' 8
claims.-Providence Journal :
Representative Higgins doesn't wan
the place If he was not elected by tho
people. Seventy-five is a close mar
gin, but since the votes were counte :
by men of both parties with the usuas
care. there was no reason why hie
opponent should have been Suspicious
of the count. In order to get re
count he did not shrink from cast
ing a slur upon the efeetion counters
of both parties; and Mr.. Jedpin's
strongest hope appears to be founded
upon these prejudices which seem tc
be in his favor. The Bulletin still be-
lieves the democratic majority will be-
cautious about overturning the count
in order to seat a man OF their own
stripe.
