We Hold the Post!
The latest returns go to show that we have
carried South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida
which just elects Hayes, with yet a chance
of gaining the doubtful state of North Caro-
lina, besides. All we have to do is to possess
our souls in patience till the official votes are
returned. These ought all to be in within a
week. These states have heretofore gone
Republican, andtherc is no more reason to
doubt that they have gone for us than that
Rhode Island has. '
On Wednesday last the chances seemed to
be against us, and Republicans everywhere
sadly surrendered to what seemed an adverse
fate. Thursday, however, a different result
was foreshadowed, our democratic friends
went into frantic hysterics and talked as
naughty as they knew how. But all this is
nonsense. If the official votes fairly show
Tilden to be elected, we should gracefully
yield. If on the contrary they prove the
election of Hayes, our democratic friends
must give it up.
The proclamation issued by President
Grant, ordering an honest count of votes in
the states mcuaccd by frauds, must commend
the approval of every fair-minded man who
wants pure government. This is no game
of “heads I win, tails you lose,” and the lion-
est sentiment of the nation will so assert it-
self, and at the end, we haven’t a doubt but
that a correct and peaceful solution of the

The roundono hundred and six majority
given our Senator not only ensures this Dis-

om Norwalk Redeemed.
The Republicans of Norwalk have seldom
shown such intense interest in elections as
they manifested in this campaign, and at the
polls last Tuesday. In the first district,
every man worked as though success depend-
ed upon his individual efiorts, and the result
shows what can be done when the Republi-
cans are [mind and in- earnest. ’ The 'polls
opened at‘6 a. m., and voting commenced by
the light of a kerosene lamp. The voting
commenced lively and was almost incessant
until three o’clock, when it commenced
to flag, At half-past four nearly every voter
was in, and about every man on the list was
accounted for by one side or the other. The
democracy never worked better, and were
probably never quite so badly disappointed
in the result. The Republicans were not
caught napping by the “still hun ," nor
frightened by the storm. The change from
168 democratic majority in town, last Spring,
to 113 Republican majority, this Fall, shows
that old Norwalk is still reliable when Gen-
ral Apathy is not in command.
The Republicans of the other districts were
also just as active and earnest in their efforts
to redeem the town.

A bogus dispatch was sent from Hartford

party can't ate meat on a Fridayl” This was
a poser and so Thursday was fixed upon.
Notices were issued to the faithful to appear
in line for a nice: parade and the Brass Band
engaged. The Band were on hand early
Thursday morning, but were sent back home

One hundred and nineteen Southern elec-
toral votes are conceded to Mr. Tilden, while
nineteen are claimed by both parties. If it
shall prove, as there seems no. reason to
doubt, that these nineteen votes must be giv-
en to Governor Hayes. thus electing him by
a majority of one, the democratic brethren
will gracefully submit to their disappoint-
ment. No one had anticipated the possibili-
ty that the vote could be close. or that Flori-
da would decide the issue. A majority of
one is just as constitutional as a majority of
one hundred, and the candidate who gets
either must be accepted as the constitutional
President of a law-abiding people. It may
seem hard to gamblers to lose the bets they
had thought already won, but the citizen
who regards a presidential contest as a mat-
ter of more momentous importance than a
horse race will not complain that the result
has been reached in 'strict accordance with
the provisions of the Constitution.
All the changes which the past forty-eight
hours have brought in the political situation
tend only to strengthen the Republican claim
to the three contested States. In South Caro-
lina Gov. Tilden is found to have dropped
considerably behind Hampton, and the Demo-
crats are now claiming a majority of only
100 on the electoral ticket. From Florida
there is little further information that is at all
definite. The majority is likely to be so
small either way that the ofiicial count will
be necessary to decide. In Louisiana the
Democratic claims seem to be unabated, and
ihe impression has gained ground in Wash}
ington that the present purpose of the Dem-
ocrats is to abandon Florida and South Caro-
lina and make their last struggle in Louisiana.
In the latter State Republicans are already
referring serious charges of intimidation.
hey show that in the two parishes of East
and West Feliciana, where a heavy Republi-
vote was polled four years ago and counted
by the Democratic Returning Board, now
but one Republican vote has been cast and
that by a. Republican official. Meanwhile
the promise of a fair count continues to
brighten. The list of prominent Republicans
invited to go South by the President has been
enlarged with a new list headed by William
M. Evarts, and the President has issued
orders taking every possible precaution against
fraud. The beginning of the end of the un-
certainty is already apparent. The Board of
Canvassers of South Carolina meets to-day,
and the count in that State begins. Mean-
while all classes of citizens continue to be
in the best of faith. Their patience is not
likely to be tested much longer.

Tire state Vote.
The 'elccrion of Tuesday settled it that a
rainy day will not prevent the people of
Connecticut from going to the polls when
they are in earnest. The total vote for Pres-
ident exceeds 120,000, or 20,000 more than
the highest ever before polled, and about
24,000 more than the presidential vote of
1872. Mr. Tilden’s. plurality, with tlirce
small towns to hear from is 2,878, and Mr.
Hubbard’s plurality is 3,455. The total
greenback vote for President so far as re-
ported is 326, and the prohibition vote 224.
For governor the greenback candidate has
632, and the prohibitionist 795. The returns
from the country towns show that except for
the certificate voting and other frauds by
which large majorities have been figured
in the cities, Connecticut would have given
an old fashioned republican majority. _The
change in the legislature is in the nature of a
tidal wave. The democratic majority of 96
on joint ballot in April last is wiped out, and
the republicans have a majority of 37 , In
every county the republicans have made
decided gains—Gouranl. ~

The senators from the even-numbered dis-

six republicans to four democrats for the
first long term, the probability being that in
almost any event the senate for at least two
years is surely republican.
Mr. Joseph L. Barbour, of Hartford, is
announced as a candidate for the position of
clerk of the House. MixBarbour was a very
efficient worker in the late campaign, having
made forty speeches. IIis speech in South
Norwalk was a masterly effort, and was
greatly admired. , IIis qualifications for the _
position are undoubted, and' his election
would tend to break the fall of his brother
who had reason to expect the position of
clerk of the Senate in case of democratic
success. ‘

his audience on this occasion, but not by
brilliant scintillations of Wit, rare flights of
eloquence, exquisite modulations of voice,
dignified carriage or graceful gestures, on the
contrary the laughter forced from the cultured
and well behaved people in the audience was
not complimentary to his abilities as an ora-
tor. It seemed to be the general opinion that
he would do better to remain in Boston where
he claims that he is so well appreciated. The
next entertainment promises to be one of

Praise and Thanks.
So far as Connecticut is concerned the fig-
ures of the election are made up. They prove
a gallant fight on the part of the republicans,
and it is clear that they have only been de-
feated by fraudulent certificate voting, fraud-
ulent naturalization, and the voting on ab-
scnt names and repeating in the large cities.
Praise and thanks are due to hosts of repub-
licans in the state who have labored earnestly
for the good cause in the campaign. The or-
ganizations of the Boys in Blue have done
much to arouse the enthusiasm of the people.
The committee men everywhere, so far as we
hear, have been zealous and untiring.—(.’our-

The Next; Congress.
The democratic majority in Congress has
apparently been cut down from seventy—
thrce to four, with New Hampshire to elect. -
That State will undoubtedly elect three Re-
publicans, thus giving the democrats just one
majority. The senate is Republican, If
Tilden should be declared elected, his hands
would thus be tied nnd~he would be a mere
figurehead with only the honors to enjoy.
Gene r.il llawley—lgfcatcd. .
The defeat of Gen. Iinwlcy by a paltry
one hundred and fifty votes, is a cause of
provoking regret to every Republican in the
land, with the possible exception of Gen.
Butler. Iiawley's national fame, his general
knowledge of affairs and readiness of debate,
would have made him a marked member of
the House, and given honor and credit to
the state which sent him there. But if this
defeat shall return him to the personal man-
agement of the Oourant, and thereby a little
of its former common sense should be intro-
duced into its management, the Republican
party of Connecticut and the editor-in-chicf
of thc Cow-ant would be great gainers.

Wlic'rc did the large increase of votes in
Norwalk, in Fairficld County, and the state,
come from? It hasbcengencrally supposed
that our population was at a stand still, or at
least not increasing, but here is a vote rolled
up greatly in excess of the vote ever given
in prosperous times. If the vote was honest
we are rushing right ahead, and the next
census will give us a large population.
Mr. Warner is to be congratulated on his
election from this district, though a fact

congressman clcct quite resented it, and took

Generosity is a. trait of character quite rare
in our community, except on it very limited
scale, but an act by one of our highest city
officials deserves notice. ~ch llzarn that a
girl was arrested by ofllccr Dayton under
three charges of theft, and on trial was .1-
vietcd on all ebunls, and fined. It was im-
possible for 1101‘ to pay her line or thc‘ cost of
court. Said city official became inter-
ested in the matter, anti on inquiry, found
that this was her first ofl’cncc, although quite
a fast young lady. The J udgc also had com-
passion ou her and proposed thattlic fine be
remitted upon promise that she would rc-
form, and that the cost be paid. The noble
official now saw the opportunity to do a good
act, and not only paid the costs (40 dollars)
but gave the young lady money to go to her
friends who live in an adjoining State.

The republican party has had many loads
to carry during the campaign, not the least
of which was the presence of Mr. Zachariah
Chandler as chairman of the national com-
mittee. It is too Well known that Mr. Chan-
dler was not in sympathy with the better ele-
ments of the party, and by no means a fit
leader for a party whose platform was the ad-
mirable letter of Gen. Hayes. He obtained
the position against the wishes of the best
men of the party. and by securing control of
committee men from the far western states
and territories and from the Southern states.
His presence undoubtedly cost the party very
many votes—001mm!) Nov. 8.
In the same number of Gen. IIawlcy’s pa-
per that we flud the above, we read the two
very uncomfortable statements that the Gen-
cral is defeated for Congress by about one
hundred and fifty votes, and that notlcss than
one thousand voters in the city of Hartford
did not vote at all. Wouldn’t it have been in
a little better taste to have divincd the reason
of this apathy at home, rather than renew
the snapping and snarling against one who
has labored as zealously and as judiciously as
any man could have done, and who moreover,
has given of his time and fortune to advance
the Republican cause, as liberally and as dis-
interestcdly as any man in the nation. What-
ever faults Mr. Chandler may have, democrats
as well as republicans who know him at all,
will concede the fact that in addition to the
untiring energy of his nature, every fibre of
his being is that of spotless, personal honesty.
He is the peer 01' Gen. Hawlcy or any other
man in integrity, as well as fidelity to the
cause he espouses.
' Centennial Supper.
Now that election is over, we urge all our
good people to attend the Ladies Centennial
Supper, to come off at Lockwood‘s Hall, Fri-
day evening. The ladies of the First Con-
gregational church have taken the matter of
the repairs of their house of worship in hand,
and with the encouraging prospect of having
that fraudulent pretense ended of a stone
church made of wood, we are confident the
ladies may look for a liberal visitation on
Friday evening. The assurances given
also, of a possible chance of having that
gloomy, prison-yard fence renovated or re-
muveu, us also the barricade of a pulpit rc-
placcd by a modern desk, and the interior al-
igntor paint recovered, and what a let-up that
all will be from the-cxcitcmcnts of the past

It is reported to us on nniinpcachable au-
thority (as other statements published by us
have been) that Congressman Warner says,
“All is fair in politics.” We do not assent
to any such doctrine, but when, in correcting
us, (as he is said to have done at the. Opera
House last week) on the point of his having
stated there were 128 U. S. regiments station-
ed iu the South. he says we increased his
Statement by a'liuudred! We gave it precise-
ly as several credible witnesses stated they
heard him say it, and as the Sentinel subsc-
quenty says he did State it. Nevertheless we
will give liiir'i-tlie benefit of his own correc-
tion and leave ithis 28 regiments. But in-
asmuch as there are only twenty-jive regiments
in the whole U. S. Army, wouldn't it be wel1
for our new Congressman to read 11p a little
before starting for Washington?
It is estimated that $5,000,000 are deposit-
in the vaults of Safe Deposit Companies in
New York, by pool dealers, pending on result
of the election. That accounts for much of
the excitement, false telegrams, bogus claims,
etc. Pity it is that even our elections must
be counted to suit the gamblers.
o
The Legislature, we regret to say, is Re-
publican in both branches—the Senate stand-
ing 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats, and
the House having 140 Republican and 105
Democratic members. This is the more to
be regretted because the Republicans will un-
doubtedly immediately proceed to~ re-enact
all these restrictions of the right of suffrage,
with which they have in the past prevented
poor men from voting—Bridgeport Farmer.
That is just what will be done, only the
poor man will be protected in his vote and
placed on a par with the rich—each having
one vote, and one vote only. The law will
no longer be a sham, but will secure to every
honest voter his rights and give all parties a
fair and equal chance.

Somebody in St. Louis has come across a.
letter written nearly eighty years ago, and
sent with a wedding gift of a handkerchief
to a young lady on the eve of her marriage.
The letter says : “‘I send you, dear girl, an
enchanted handkcrcliicf. If you hold it
tight to your mouth when you feel, some
hundred years hence (after the honeymoon),
like finding fault with your husband, it will
have a very good effect. I have used one
for twenty years, and found it always cf-
fcctual. Jcsting apart, accept the token of
my regard, with the hope that your hearts
may be so possessed by the witchcry of love
that you may need no other cnchantmcnt to
secure you both a happy wedded life.”
