Abstract

The Connecticut Election
March 28, 1867 issue

add to cart   close window

There is always some good reason for taking special interest in the Connecticut election. The State is small and the election annual. But parties are very evenly balanced, the Republicans having a natural majority of but little over 1,000 on a poll of 90,000 votes. The Republicans have invariably carried the State ever since 1856, but on three occasions by majorities very small and wonderfully uniform; their majority in 1857 being 546, and both in 1860 and 1866 exactly 541. Last spring the majorities in the Congressional districts were as follows, first, 128 Republican; second, 1,887 Democratic; third, 2,425 Republican; and fourth, 125 Democratic.
