The Election.


and Other Places.
 The East Haven Republicans celebrated the victory by firing salute down in the center on Wednesday evening. The gun was good speaker. The colors were shown all over the town.
 Our Branford correspondent says: The Republicans of this place gave vent to their enthusiasm Wednesday night by torchlight parade and illumination. The houses of the Republicans along the route were generally illuminated, some of the displays being very fine, particularly that of MT. Hammer, Mir. Lay MT. Jones at the Totoket, P. Hall, the Lock works and others. Rockets and col ored fire were used profusely and added much to the display.
 The Bigelow Battery, of Bridgeport, com menced firing salute of 800 guns about noon yesterday in honor of the great Republican | victory. They intended to fire the salute | Wednesday, but did not get ready in time to | finish before dark.
 The Standard says of the Bridgeport pa- rade: The big wagon in front contained l several Pitchers who fired rockets and Ro- l man candles and burned red fire all along | the line of march. The citizens were out in force, many of them carrying brooms to signify the clean Republican sweep, and { the remainder flags and lanterns. The uniformed organizations turned out with full ranks considering the short mo- ! tice. They marched well and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Each company was &C., companied by a large number of honorary 1 members. The Old Guard carried large ! white horse made especially for them. It lay upon it's back with it's feet in the air, and up- on its sides were the words, Democratic war horse 329." It made good deal of amuse- ment as it passed along between the crowds. Behind the Guard were seven small mules, one of which bore the following: "One of the seven." Behind the seven was large mule. It had plume in it's head, and on the blanket were the words, ''We've got 'em." This feature seemed to take well among the crowd also. The steam calliope furnished some very loud music at different points dur ing the march. The Examinations were very general and unusually fine, even for Bridge port, which has surpassed itself in ilumina- hons for Republican parades during this campaign On some streets it seemed as if every house was illuminated or decorated.
