hibition Vote.
Hartford, Conn., Oct. 13 — The
ical outlook in Connecticutt at this
ing may be thus summarized.
Cleveland will carry Connecticut.
Neither party will elect its state
by the popular vote.
The legislature will probably be
lican again, and will elect to office
candidates on the republican state ticket.
The state has been close, very
years. E. S. Cleveland (dem.) for gover¬
nor, 1,898 plurality in 1885, in a
vote of 123,229; T. M. Waller, (dem.),

total vote of 187,257; plurality______, Garfield
a
Hancock in 1880, 1.299, in a total vote
132,798.
These figures serve to illustrate the
reasons for the prevailing uncertainty as
to the result of November's election.
Each party is to-day claiming a victory
for its electoral ticket, and each has its
reasons to urge for its confidence. But
the drift of the popular vote of Connect¬
icut since 1880 has very evidently been
toward the democratic side, and the
fresh registration of this fall tends large¬
ly in that direction.
The November vote for president can¬
not fall short of 140,000, and from the
best information obtainable, the demo¬
cratic managers are justified in their
claim that Mr. Cleveland will have from
three to four thousand more votes than
Mr. Harrison. The democratic situa¬
tion, it must be admitted even by the
last republicans, thirty days. has improved within the
A month ago the Mills bill free trade
scare had demoralized many working¬
men whose affiliations are ordinarily
with the democratic party. But the force
and effect of that scarce 'has lieen spent.
Thoughtful men have had time to reflect
that there was a similar scare in 1884,
and that the predictions of the republi¬
can orators that a democratic victory
meant ruin to New England's industries
were but so much campaign bluster.
Manufacturing has not suffered, and no
factories workingman needs to lie told that the
of them are very running busy this fall, and
many This is solid fact which over time.
a no amount
of republican campaign talk will offset.
The prospects are, generally speaking,
that tho voters will keep within their
democratic respective party lines in November. The
vote may Buffer siigbtly (roin
the intimidation of democratic workmen
by the large manufacturers, but the ex¬
tent and effect of such intimidation ap¬
pears to be overestimated. It was more
effectual in 1884 than it can be this year,
for the workingmeu are, not so easily
frightened now as then, and labor organ¬
ization has given them confidence.
On the other hand, the republicans
will suffer somewhat from further deser¬
tions to the prohibition ranks, and to an
extent which will fully equalize demo¬
cratic losses from intimidation. The la¬
bor party has gone to the wall in Con¬
necticut, and is scarcely worth consider¬
ing as a factor. It will not be likely to
poll a thousand votes.
The state ticket is next to lie consider¬
ed. As to this the republicans go into
the fight with two great advantages.
One is the constitutional provision which
requires a majority instead of a mere
plurality second is to elect state officers; and the
that the legislature, upon
which will devolve the election of state
officers if they fail of election by the
popular have “ ' vote, republican is reasonably majority. certain to

jority; and Cleveland 1,904 short of a ma¬
in 1880, had 1, (dem.) for gover¬
nor 898 plurality, hut was
2,797 short of a majority. In both years
the republicans secured the legislature
and seated their state ticket candidates.
The republicans, as a matter of party
pride, will endeavor to elect their state
ticket this year by the popular vote; but
they rely for success in holding the reins
of state government more upon retain-'
ing their legislative supremacy than up¬
on the remote possibility of an elaction
at the polls. Their energies, then, are
being bent in the legislative direction,
and in this they have the advantage of
the peculiar town representation system
in the legislative halls, in which little
republican towns with a few hundred
voters have as many votes upon the floor
of the house as the larger places, which
are the democratic strongholds. That
the legislature elected in November will
he republican is almost a certainty. If
it were not. would be regarded as a po¬
litical earthquake in Connecticut.
in The prohibitionists of the may work mischief
some close towns in the coun¬
try sections, hut not enough probably to
affect the general result. The guberato-
rial vote is roughly estimated at 69,-
000 democratic, 67,000 republican and
6,000 prohibition, with a few hundred
labor votes. To elect either the republi¬
can or democratic state ticket at the polls
would require 71,000 votes, and nothing
short of a tide, whose swelling is not yet
apparent, would yield this number to
either party.
Ex-Mayor Morgan G. Bulkeley, of
Hartford, the republican nominee, would
he highly gratified if he could win by
the---------'
not
er won__________________, lotl
of 1882. Mr. Bulkeley is an adroit manip¬
ulator, every inch a politician, holding
the strings of a liberal, purse, and glean¬
ing every field where votes may be se¬
cured.
His opponent. Judge Luzon B. Morris,
of New Haven, is a man of conservative
character, who commends himaelf to the
democratic party as a man of sterling
w orth, and who will bo likely not only
to hold his party vote, but to secure very
considerable accessories from the mug¬
wump and the so-called “silent vote” of
the State.
A great deal of interest is centered in
the congressional contests. for*whichnot

the prohibitionists also, have completed

SULLIVAN’S NEW OPERA.
Tho ‘Feoman of tho Guard'* Produced for
the Flv»t Tim© in America.
New York. Oct. 17. —[Special.]—The
new opera, the “Yeoman of the Guard,
or the Mcrryman and his Maid,” was
played last night before a tremendous
audience at the Casino theatre. It was
originally be intended that the opera should
produced on Monday night, but Mr.
Aronson deemed the rehearsals incom¬
plete. It
seems not too much to say that the
ojiera not only scored a success, but is a
far better piece of work than anything
the talented pair have evolved for many
years.
It will not be a jwjiular opera in this
country, if by popular is meant an ap¬
peal to the rabble, vide “Pinafore” and
“The Mikado”; but it will have a long
run, and will always lie a
fashionable production. The artists who
presented the ojiera last night
included Miss Sylvia Gerrish, Miss Ber¬
tha Ricci, Miss Carry Rice, Miss Isalielle
Urquhart, Frederick Miss Kate Uart, J. H. Riley,
Long, Solomon, Henry Hallam, Chas.
mi and George H. Broderick, George OI-
Arthur W. Toms.
There are hut two acts in the piece, the
principal Phoebe part the being taken by Miss Gerrish
as maid. The plot is laid
in the time of King Charlas, and intro¬
duces the condemned Lord Fairfax and
other historical characters with a horde
of magnificent costumes of that period.
Taken side by side, the libretto does not
begin to compare in artistic elegance
with the music, but the general effect is
very good.
Some of the songs are: “When a Maid¬
en Loves She Mopes Apart—An Owl
Mopes on a Tree," sung by Guard,” Miss Gerrish;
ana “The Song of the by Mr.
Broderick; a trio entitled “How say You,
Maiden, will You Wed ?” Fairfax’s song,
“Is Life a Boon?" Warder’s chorus, duet,
“I have a Song to Sing.”
A company will be nut on the road
during the latter end of the month.
