T11K CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
From thf . 1'. HerolU
If ever there was a roudMle of an election
it is the contest that hs j'ist beea conclu lod
in Connecticut. With a full rote, as far as
returned, of between ninety-two and ninety
four thoupand, the election of Governor re
mains in doubt. The Litest returns show
that Governor Eugliah bus a plurality of five
votes, with a hundred errors yet to be cor
rected in the official oonut. The old proverb
that one swallow does not make a summer is
illustrated in the comparison between the
Democratic victory in New Hampshire and
the Demoerafio disappointment in Connecti
cut. The fact is that the sadden shock which
the Republican party got from the reverbera
tion of tbe Democratic cannon announcing a
triumph from the battle-field in New
Hampshire, woko them up to the ne
cessity of looking after their interests
in Connecticut. They braced theuisolves
np, stiffened their ruusolos, and put on
their dignity for a good square fight, and
there is no doubt but they fought it well. The
administration, too, was alive to the fact that
Connecticut must not he permitted to add
another success to the Democratic cause in
New England; and hence every effort was
made on Monday last by the labors of federal
officers, and, it is said, by the influence of
Federal money, to a great extent, in helping
out the necessary electioneering expenses to
defeat Governor English. The colored vote
also, which was brought to the polls for the
first time at this election, took at least eight
hundred votes from the Democratio maj ority
of IS 70; for it is fair to conolade that the
newly-created colored voters nearly to a man
went for ex-Governor Jew oil. The majority
of Governor English lost year, being only
eight hundred and forty-three, would thus be
easily demolished, compelling the Democrats
to build tip that majority from other sources,
and these sources appear to have been dry.
In many respects the Connecticut election
is a curiosity in politics. The mashinery
was admirably managed on the part of the
Republicans. Tbe clever scheme, whereby
the voters were made to believe that Tam
many Hall had seized upon the State, by
means of an imaginary despatch from Gov
ernor English to Mr. Tweed, was an admirable
contrivance. Tammany itself could not beat
the trick in adroitness. The despatoh pur-
Sorting to come from Governor English to
r. Tweed, which we may aafely assume was
never written and never worried the tele
graph wires, was cunningly circulated
in the weekly edition of a
paper at Hartford the
throughout the country
with such appeals to the
republican
Uourant
districts
prejudices
of the farmers and others in the rural places
as brought the spectre noir of Tammany be
fore them in hideous aspects. Shall the
honest voters of Connecticut or "the thieves
of Tammany" carry this election? was the
question presented to the rural voters. Natu
rally enough they were alarmed at the alter
native; they were not going to be sold like
cattle, and they came out, consequently, in
considerable strength to assert their claims to
New England backbone. Ilenoe, in a mea
sure, the full vote polled. It was a cunning
trick, well devised and lucky in its operation;
but all is fair in politics, as in love and war.
We hardly think, after all, that the St. Do
mingo question, made hot aud irritable by
the fierce assaults of Sumner and Schurz upon
President Grant, had much to do with the
result in Connecticut. We are disposed to
think that the Eepublicans there looked with
considerable indUTerence upon the quarrel.
In shoit, they probably were about equally
divided in their views as between President
Grant and Sumner, and rather liked the bold
ness of the Massachusetts Senator than other
wise. At all events that question was skil
fully withdrawn from sight in the canvass by
the Republican organs aod orators. It was
not trumpeted in the columns of the radioal
press, neither was it proclaimed from the
radical stump. The only issue . supposed to
carry any weight with it, which was presented
carefully up to the last moment, was this
terror that Tammany was controlling the
State with its greenbacks, its cohorts of ruf
fians and its innate and dangerous corrup
tions. We are told now that Mr, Tweed is
Ihonme qvtrit, and that he enjoys a very
hearty laugh over the affair of the bogus
despatch.
It may not be bo diffioult after all to dis
cover the reason why this eleotion in Connec
ticut was oo unsatisfactory and indecisive,
when we consider that looal quarrels existed
in aUnost every district in the State, and split
tickets were the common rule almost every
where. The Second Congressional district,
for example, was lost to the Democrats in
this way. The bitterness existing against the
Democratio candidate (Mr. Kendrick) since,
his opposition to Mr. Baboock two years ago,
which gave the district to the Republican
candidate (Mr. Kellogg), confronted him at
the polls on Monday, and resulted in the re
election of Kellogg. The Democrats could
not forgive Kendrick, and thus they permitted
him to be sacrificed. There seemed to be
that kind of feeling among the Democrats all
through the State, extending even to the local
elections. Those who calculated that
family quarrels were going to demo
ralize the Republicans therefore oounted
without their host. They appear to have
voted "the ticket" fair and square.
The negro vote, after the applicants
for the franchise had stood the test of the
"reading clause," which declares that every
voter must be able to read at least one section
of the constitution, probably amounted to a
little over a thousand. It is fair to conolude
that seven-eighths of these negroes voted the
Republican ticket, thus throwing seven or
eight hundred votes into the Republican ma
jority. In the unoertain state of affairs it is
not unlikely that the election of Governor
will pass from the hands of the electors into
those of the Legislature, in whioh case, as
the Republicans have a majority of twenty
on joint ballot, in both houses, Mr. Jewell
will, of course, be declared the duly eleoted
Chief Magistrate of the State for the ensuing
year. Thus the Connecticut election, instea 1
of being a test of the progress of Democratio
sentiment in New England, turns out to be a
general disappointment all round. Its politi
cal significance, however, is that the reoent
Democratio victory in New Hampshire is not
an absolute test of public opinion iu the
Northern States.
SINFUL AMUSEMENT.
fryi tht S. Y. Tribune.
We are especially pleased to notice the
progress made by our Methodist friends in
their views of the amusements hitherto pro
scribed by that Church. The expression of
opinion iu the association of clergy held iu
Newark last week was, for the ruoit pirt,
more liberal and soundly grounded on philo
sophic principles than we would hive hoped
from a body of men usually noted for strict
adherence to their hereditary and narrjv
code. The leading members of the confer
ence have evidently had their eyes couched,
and enough of the daylight of the ninet eenth
century has crept in to show them wholes' ne
and pure elements in the theatre, in novel
reading, in modest dancing, aud in healthful
out-door games. They frankly acumledged
their conversion while they continued to
protest against the abuses to be found in
each. There were, of course, equally sin we
and honest men to oppose thorn, who de
tected Satan's hoof and tail in every hu uan
employment outside of legitimate work and
church-going. "Nine-tenths of our auime
ments being sinful," said one of these, "it is
best to forego the other tenth."
We attach more importance tj this discis
sion than perhaps, at first sight, it seems to
warrant. The Methodist fraternity, as we
observed the other day, includes a vast aud
powerful body of our people; being an accre
tion, for the most part, of the working, intel
ligent middle class. It is especially desirable
that its leading ideas on social morality
shonld be free from bigotry and prej udioe:
and no subject trenches, at the present time,
more deeply on the moral or mental health of
the people than their lack of wholesome, libe
ralizing amusements. Now Church bodies
are proverbially slow to apply the divine
yet practical truths of Christianity of which
they are the keepers to varying every-day
popular exigencies. They are led by
political and social reforms oftener
than they lead them; the reason of which
is, we suppose, that each sect, although
the bearer of a banner which should
place her in the van of every reform in
thought or practice, still wears and is ham
pered by whatever peculiar doctrine or opin
ion formed once her swaddling-clothes. If a
Church had its birth in protesting with
bloody testimony against any tenet or prac
tice, she naturally exaggerates it still, after
centuries have passed, as the chief evil on
earth. To Christians outside of the churches
the question of apostolic succession, dipping
or sprinkling, elders and bishops, plain lan
guage and shad-bellied coats, are feather
weights, mere tithes of mint, anise, and
cumin, compared with the eternal tragedy of
n debased human nature striving to rise to an
almighty, all-loving God; and every year we
hope brings this profound conviction home to
the churches also. This very matter of
amusements is the peculiar bete noir of the
Methodist Church. Dissipation and wanton
ness of English society terrified the Church
into existence in the first place. It is hardly
to be expected, therefore, that it should be
able to regard the subject even now with a
cool, unprejudiced eye. But our Methodist
brethren should be able to perceive the dif
ference between the cancerous luxury of an
enervated court and the absolute necessity of
relaxation, both physical and mental, for a
people nervous, bilious, and over-worked, as
are the Americans. Climatie influences are
more exhausting in the United States than in
Europe. There is in every class the feverish
struggle for money or snooess unknown
in any other country.. The whole
nation, male and female, is possessed by a
demon of unrest and anxiety. The higher
we ascend in tbe social scale the more intense
is
the strain upon body and brain. The am
bitious professional And business man rarely
takes breath to enjoy the wide life God has
opened; one day is but a burden scarcely
lifted before another falls upon him. While
this is true, it is also true that there is no
other people among whom amusement is so
little understood or practised. The inevita
ble consequence follows. You might as well
try to choke a burning geyser as to shut down
a man or woman's whole nature into money
making or church-going. There is an excess
of animal spirits, a beat in tbe blood which
will find vent. The Italian sings; the French
man dances; the nun and Methodist, who can
neither sing nor dance, fall into trances and
see heaven opened by the aid of hysteria and
catalepsy. The American so far has found
his escape-valve in whisky. "He drinks,"
said a keen-sighted foreigner lately, "not for
social enjoyment, but as a physical neoesiity,
to relieve apparently some actual cerebral
overstrain." One of the clergymen in New
ark stated that, "in consequence of the love
of dancing, every third child born in France
is illegitimate." Our friend should be sure
of his facts. Paris, it is true, has the vioes
pecnliar to all the great rendezvous for
strangers in the world. The French and
Irish rural population, who amuse them
selves heartily more than any other people,
are the chastest in Europe; the least so are
the Swedes, whose sole relaxation is our own
whisky.
We trust the time will soon come when our
Methodist brethren will be led to follow the
common sense of mankind in believing that
whatever tends to keep the animal in a man
in check and develop his higher nature, what
ever makes him better appreciate his brother
man, and more thankful for the beautiful,
joyful world he lives in, is "for the glory of
God," whether it be hymn or sermon, novel,
dance, or drama.
A FEW SOBER WORDS TO THE DEMO
CRACY. From the X. I". Wurld,
For the last three or four years the World
has been (to borrow an apostolic phrase)
"instant (i. ., urgent) in season and out of
season in trying to impress upon tne Demo
cratic party the wisdom of hanging its lights
on the bow of the ship to disclose tbe rocks
and quicksands to be shunned in its course,
instead of hanging them on the stern to cast
back a useless glare on the tumultuous waters
through which it has passed. Like most
givers of unsought advice, we have some
times been paid with a kind of recognition
that was not quite agreeable; but so undoubt
icg is our confidence in the force of truth,
a iid the certainty of its final triumph, that
we have not felt disposed to
'Bate a Jot
Of heart or hope ; but still bear up aud steer
K gtit onward."
We have aimed to discharge our duty as a
6entiDtl of the Democracy. Our opportuni
ties for watching the drift of publio senti
ment Lave been as good as those of any De
mocratic statesman aud better than those of
any other journal of the party. We weigh
our words and speech with deliberation, ani
therefore claim nothing beyond better oppor
tunities, kauri g to others, assisted by the
progress of events, to sy whether wo have
used our opportunities with judgment. We
are compelled, by the exigencies of our busi
ness as journalists, to spend a great deal of
money in collecting information, and to keep
tip wide and divei sifted relations with public
men. A metropolitan journal is a reservoir
into which information flows through a thou
sand chanuela. It is fed with suggestions,
teased with complaints, benefited by juli
cious and pestered with impertinent advice,
in a stream so uuremilting that by balancing
abuse against commeudt-tion it has pretty
reliable means of estimating the set of the
political tide.
We have no reason to regret the persistent,
but we trust not discourteous, urgency with
which we have counselled sobriety of judg
ment and tho acceptance of accomplished
facts. We have the satisfaction of knowing
that the whole Democracy of the State of
New York indorses our views without a dis
scr lirg voice among its responsible leaders,
or in any representative Democratio journal.
Governor Hoffman's advice, in his last annual
message, to drop dead issues, is cordially
responded to by the whole party in New York.
What he recommended in general terms,
oilier eminent New York Democrats have
enforced by specific statements reUting to
some of the inflammatory topics of past agi
tation. One tf the most reoent utterances
in this vein was made by Mr. Fernando
Wood in his able spewh on the Kn-klus bill.
Mr. Wood is as little of a trimmer as any man
in the country. Ilis whole publio career has
been marked" by extraordinary nerve, vigor,
and political courage, ne has never wavered
in his intrepid support of Southern rights.
But his position in Washington and tho op
portnnities for various intercourse he enjoys
by Lis social talents and liberal hospitality,
enable Lim to take an enlarged view of the
political situation and of the state of public
sentiment in all parts of the country. With
his ripe experience and trained political
sngacity, he sees the folly of reviving bygone
issues. In reply to 6ome impertinence of
Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Wood
made this clear and emphatio statement:
4 Sir, if there is any foundation for tliallpged alter
cations It is because men like the genVeman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley) would go imong them
altering Incendiary speeches and In (laming and agi
tating tliwn to a war of races! 1 never ft it more
indignant In my life, I never felt mote nice commu
ting a breacn of decorum or an infraction of the
mlts of the Houee, than tdM .yesterday when I lis
tened to the harangne of that member. I deMre to
call the attention of the Hon so to this remarkable
statement: At the close of his speech of yesterday
on this bill lie assumed that the Democrat party,
when it obtained power, would disfranchise ttie
ne gro. The Democratio. party lias no desire to inter
fere with these amendments- t ) the Constitution
which give free and equal enfTrage to- all the
people of the United States. The l)mto.ratto
party would give to the colored nice all the political
and civil rights which they would give to any other
elas of the people; but we d object that thej- shall
) made a political engine for the accomplishment
of wicked purposes. We do object that Inttawma
tory speeches, such as were na4e on Wednesday
last by the g( ntleman from Pennsylvania, should be
made to them to excite them against the Democracy
and- their former masters, ao as to get np ;a the
Southern States a war of races and perpetuate-the
iliOa) f'omlnancy of the party now In power,
hat Is what we object to. The day Is speedily com
ing, and 1 hope has already come, . when the colored
race ef the United States will astmme their position
In tbe country as free and independent voters; that
they may be allowed to Judge of men and parties and
principles for themselves; that they may und aratmg
their own class able and patriotic) leaders who will
say to them: 'lie no longer tlx Instrument.-of
demagogues.' 1 believe that among trie colored taon
are found those who are patriotic, honest, ant ra
tional.'' Nor is it among the New York Denioorooy
alone that this view is entertained. Senator
Thurman, who stands in the foremost rank
of debaters and statesmen, and commands
universal esteem and ' confidence, is as re
markable for his moderation- in counsel as
for his skill and vigor in debate. The ju
dicious platform adopted by the Ohio De
mocracy last year is understood to have been
due to his wise advice. Among the Deaao
cratio statesmen of New Fxgland none stand
higher than Governor English and Jbn
Quinoy Adams; the moderation of both- is
well known. "But what of Senator Blair?"
"We oonoeive that the position of this
gallant and chivalrous Democratic leador is
not well understood. ltinot safe to go to
the Republican newspaperto learn the views
of any Democratio statesman who is strong
enough to be dreaded by political opponents.
G eneral Blair, with political courage as un
flinching as Mr. Wood's, holds substantially
the same views on the question of negro suf
frage, as was shown in his recent letter to
the editor of a Honthera journal whioh we
copied tbe other day. Ii'Ow that the negroes
are in possession of the suffrage, General
Blair wishes the experiiaent to be fably tried
in a spirit of justice and liberality. to the
colored race.
"But General Blair professes to stand by
his Broadhead letter." True, the Republicans,
have undertaken to tally him on that sub
ject, and General Blr.ir is about tho- last man.
to retreat in the presence of bullies. He
shrinks from no responsibility which h9 has
fairly incurred; he will never mortify his.
friends or elate his- enemies by eating his.
words in consequence of a taint. If that
bygone letter had- not been ilung in bin
teeth, he wonld probably have never ruo.de a
publio allusion to- it again. With a mag
nanimity as signaL as his courage, he has ac
cepted the personal consequences to himsell,
but has been careful of the interests of the
party. During the Missouri electioa, which
resulted in so grat a triumph, General Blair
proclaimed no war against the recon&truc'aon
acts or the new amendments;, but after the
Legislature met and he waa an avowed can
didate for Senator, and his. opinions conid in
terfere only with his own personal prospects,
he scorned to compromisa hia manhood for
the cake of an office. When the Broadhead
letter was thrust in his face by a Ilepublican,
be squarely accepted all the consequences
which might result from defiant adherence to
it. Even his political enemies were con
strained to respoot bis gallant bearing and
manly pride. Geneud Blair is a man of judg
ment and sagacity, and does not advise the
Democratio party to go into the next election
on the bygone issue of negro suffrage.
We call attention to tho growth of Demo
cratic sentimect in this direction, becar.3e,
as it is evident that tho party will abandon
the negro-suGrae issue, it is expedient to do
it with decision and unanimity. The time
has come when it should be fully understood
by the South that the Northern Democracy
do not intend to fight that battle over again,
and that no Democratio victory in tbe North
will bear such a construction. After the
splendid triumph in New Hampshire some of
the Southern j ournals seemed to entertain such
hopes, and perhaps our narrow esoape from
defeat in Connecticut was necessary to
sober their judgment aud save them from a
fatal delusion. Ou a wise platform con
structed of living issues we can, with reason
able effort, elect our candidate for President.
But we have no such superfluous strength
that we can afford to make mistakes. The
party has been so often defeated by an iadh
crett plank in its platform as to justify con
siderable solicitude on the subjeot. If the
Republicans were permitted to make our
platform for us they would put into it the
very thiegs which a few blind or Quixotio
Democrats have been recently advocating in
the Southern press. We protest ngainst the
folly of doing just what our enemies wLju us
to do.
