HARTFORD, CT, Oct. AT the town cleo
ton in this city to-day light vote was polled,
only 1857 of 7643 voters registered voted The
Republican candidate for Town Clerk Gordon
Robins, is elected by 81 majority over Levi
Woodhonse, Democrat, who has held the Office
for several years. The Republicans have ma
J0rlty in the Board of Selectmen, who with the
Town Clerk are a Board of Appeal in matters
OF registration of electors. Two of the Select
men and one of the Assessors elected were on
both tickets. All the Republican candidates
are elected and four of the six grand Jurors
chosen are Republican. The Democratic can
dldates for the Board of Relief are elected. of
the Assessors, one Republican and one Demo-
GRAFT on both tickets and one Greeley man on
the Democratic ticket are elected. The princ-
pal interest was in the vote for Town Clerk and
Selectmen. The Republicans chose the form er
by a handsome majority and a have a majority
OF the Selectmen. No comparison can be made
of the vote of town elections with any State
elections. The vote is always light and local
questions enter largely into the canvass The
chlct importance is in the election of Select
men and Town Clerk. In forty-two towns
heard from the Republicans have gained those
officers in four towns that were Democratic last
year and Democrats have gained six towns
which were Republican last year. The little
town meetings, as they are called in this State
furnish no basis on which to estimate the
strength OF either party in a full vote upon the
national issues.
