POLITICAL.
An Exciting Election.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. N.-There was a
great deal of excitement in this city to-day over
the election of three members of the Board of
Education and other minor officers, owing TO
the fact that a prominent Roman Catholic
clergyman had announced from his pulpit that
it was time for the Catholics to act and get
control of the board so that their schools might
be supported by the public funds.
A Catholic ticket was in the field. No mem
bers of the present board are Of that religious
belief. The excitement called out a vote OF
over 5000, unprecedented in the history of New
Haven school elections. About 140O votes were
cast for the Catholic candidates, but they were
defeated and the regular nominees were elected
by a majority Of about 1900, the cumulative
system being. used. Many Catholics condemned
the sectarian animus of the others and refused
to vote the Catholic ticket.
