The Fair Haven Election.

The Republican Candidate Elected by
 seventy-Nine Matority-A Strong Turn
 out Of the Voters-RepubIIcans .Jubi-
 Iant.
 Yesterday the tie in the Eleventh ward was voted off and most satisfactorily to the Re publicans of the ward. Mir Arthur J. Weld, the Republican candidate, being elected AL derman by 70 majority over MT. Porter, the Democratic candidate. The ward gives usually 60 or 70 majority, but nevertheless there was great activity, as it was known that the Democracy were bound to win if possible,
 especially as, if successful, the Democrats would thereby gain control of the boards of commissioners of the city of New Haven and
 transform them from non n-partisan boards as
 heretofore into Democratic boards-4 Demo-
 crats to Republicans in each As it stands
 now the scheme is, the Republicans and
 Democrats will each elect one man, which
 will leave the status of the boards as it has
 been-half Republican and half Democratic.
 Hacks were flying about all over the Eleventh
 ward at lively rate yesterday, bringing out
 the voters. The Republicans scented ''bar-
 rel of money" as in use on the other side
 provided by the powers that be of the party
 in the city and the ward, and the Democrats l claimed the Republicans had a similar barrel
 provided from similar source Objection was taken to the circulation throughout the
 ward by means of the mails of an address to
 the Republican voters of the ward from ! Chairman John s. Fowler, of the Republican Town committee. The address was as fol- lows:
 DEAR sn-During the past two years malig- nant and interruptions clique of Democratic poll ticians, having their headquarters in a Chapel
 street club room and using the Register for mouth great departments of the city government, which
 yearly expends s30O000 of the peoples taxes,
 namely, the Police, Fire and Road Commis- l into powerful political machines to serve the
 end of bitter partisans instead of the purposes of
 desperate effort to accomplish their object they
 will succeed if they permitted to elect Alder through the indifference of the Republican voters.
 The selection of voting place in this ward is but placed in power If every Republican casts his vote
 this scheme will be defeated, and our non-partisan
 commissions continued, and the few faithful Repub lcan policemen and fremen in office will be re-
 tafned In their positions Be then and vote on

 JOHN s. FOWLER, Chairman Republican Town Committee | There was some hard work done by both | sides. Ex-Alderman F. A. Chase, Attorney

 Am Accommodating Hasband. I There is an old gentleman in West Cheshire | who, when he welded his second wife, made | over all his property to her, simply stipulat- | ing that he should have money enough to purchase half pint of rum every day of his
 with exact regularity ever since, and although he is quite aged, there appears to be 8 fair ! prospect for continuing this tanglefoot invest e. -na previous to holiday, he will allow three or four days salary to accumulate, ''for obvious ! reasons" he says.
