 The election yesterday in this place was quite lively at the scene of action. The con- test was closer than usual owing to a rather unexpected move of the younger Democrats at the caucus last Saturday, in the nomination of Theodore F. Watson, notwithstanding the lively opposition of their. older brethren. This caused some feeling, and partial "bolt'' at the election, although many of the elders joined the Watson "boom" and did effective work for the candidate, while others, usually active did not vote for either candidate. The I Republicans, for some reason made no nomi- nation for representative until yesterday morning, when they placed Henry Hanchett of East Canaan in the field, thereby command ing number of the votes of the disafected Democrats in that part of the town, where they hold that by virtue of succession the nominee for this year belongs, the last repre- sentative, Joseph W. Peet, being resident of Canaan Depot At the close of the polls the result was declared as follows For Sen
