.The agiregate vote is some 1 , 1,000 less than.
last year, caused by the large number of voters
in the army; and apathy growing out of the fact
that the. Democrats, under existing circuni,
stances, bad' no expectation of carrying i!i
election, and therefore 'failed to bring out their
full strenith. What were these unpropitious
circumstances • -, •
First, although by no mean'smost important,
the voters gone to war.were beyond question a
large. majoritY:of theni pemocrat's;.but.ol this
we make but little account. There
.wai'no
Republican ticket, as such, in the' •field. The
mpartfgarne was played connectient, in
the sarnelnanner as.at the fall.election in this
State.,.. - A Union Convention of those 'opposed
to.parly nominations was called, and a ticket )
composed, of One-half Republicans and one-hall
Pemberats, put in
. nomination. This was a
movement 'initiated by Democrats—unwisely
and factiously,.it is true',. but nevertheless de
signed to draw MT from the.. Democratic vote
enough to ~defeat •thet ticket, and give to the
so:called Union ticket 'the prestige of success;
The Republicans edopted the ticket thirs.nom.
inated,rand the result is' that by thie/force` of
their own.party strength,unit el with Several
thousanitpemociats who gave their , votes to
the Mixedticket . ; that. ticket Was elected.=
The result . , therefore, is a R.publican Covernor,
a Demecratic.Lieutenaht-Governor, and a half-
and-halfticket - thronitiont.• That is what the
Republicans are crowing,overasa par . ty:victory
although before election they assured ue it svas.
a union end note partiian ticket,
. .
Now if the Republicans of Connecticut have
been compelled to sOrrender: half Of their State

the RepUblicans alone had jest *ear, and 4,100

that the victory is a barren one, and that the
Democracy of Connecticut was never' in better
or. bounder condition than at the pewit mei*
It is doubtful whether General Pratt, the orl-:

GoVernor-ror, indeed; either of the . DeMocratic
candidatea on the fusion ticket; Won'd consent
to be.classed with or admit that the successful
candidates were elected as Republicene. The
truth is, the Republican vote propsr;' deducting
the Democrats who voted the fusion ticket, was'
probably lees than half the vote of the" State.
