 and Lively Working.
 The election for town and city officers to- morrow, Tuesday, bids fair to bring out a good sized vote. The Republican ticket for selectmen is composed of well known men. Mr. John l.. Treat for Town Agent and first selectman has long been prominently before the public, as have his colleagues on the tick ct. He is large owner in the ice company and is president of the company and is prom incl tIy associated in the advertising agency business of MT. Fl. P. Hubbard.
 MT. Louis Feldman has ample means and is retired from active private business. He is member of the present Board of Public Works, term expiring in 1886, and of the Board of SelectmeD, whose term expires January 1st, and is prominent ex-ofacjal of the Masonic and Odd Fellow grand lodges Mir. W. s. Beecher is well known leading man and manufacturer of Westville and a member of the present Board of Selectmen. MT. George A. Butler. Republican candidate for town and city treasurer, is 8 leading thority both in the theory and practice of banks and banking, the author of articles in the Bankers Magazine that have attracted wide attention for their merit, and is cashier of the Tradesmen's bank and president of the National Manufacturing company. MT. Edmund Pendleton, Republican candidate for collector of taxes, was deputy collector of the port under ex Collector Cyrus Northrop' and is 8 well known, respected citizen. The other candidates for the lesser positions are all well known men.
 The Republican candidate Mir. Spiegel has experience in the office, and the chances are and run ahead of his ticket. Mir. Hugo, the Democratic candidate, IS selectman at present and does large grocery business on State street corner of Clark street There was a report around yesterday that he and Mir. Shuster, the present Town Clerk, had hitched horses and would pull together, with the agreement that Mir. Shuster in the event of Mir. Hugo's election should be retained in the Town Clerks office. The withdrawal of Mir. Shuster by letter in the nominating con- vention directly after the test of strength on the informal ballot lends additional color to this view. MT. George J. Faulhaber, who has the second place on the Democratic ticket for selectman, is at present councilman and is the proprietor of 8 grocery store on Congress avenue. The other Democratic candidates foe selectmen Julius Tyler, the well known wholesale liquor dealer on State street; Benjamin R. English, of the firm of Futile & English, lumber dealers, and an ex- fire commissioner, also secretary for years of the Evergreen Cemetery association, also a nephew of ex-Governor English and prOmi nent veteran Gray. The Democratic candi- dates for Board of Relief were voted for last year for the same offices and are the present incumbents.
 In several of the strong Democratic wards where there are 8 variety of Democratic ward tickets to choose from great local interest will prevail among the adherents of the diff ferent tickets, and the vote will consequently be large one. Although yesterday was Sun- day there was much earnest consultation, otherwise denominated 'tchinning," going on, and back doors were frequented and ''pasters' were administered, and not in homeopathic doses. Several of the candidates were around tthxing things' where any doubt of their election was entertained Ss Late hours were kept Saturday night, and in the "wee sma' hours local politicians were still fixing the slate on the street corners and in the alleyways. The Democrats Saturday evening nominated additional candidates for ward officers as follows:
 Sixth Ward-For Aldorunan-Patrick Willie For Oouncilmen-Frank Riley, Alfred E. Bristol Michael Minnix Colncilmen George 0. Clarke, Charles P BIaksslee, William M. Frisbie.
 WAEO-cOE Oouncilmen-John o. Punderford. Edward Downes, Frank B. Byington. For Oouncilmen-John MerrIck, Dwight S. Ter Till Michael J. Scanlon.
 Louis B. Ryder in a card to the Democrat ic papers declines to run as Councilman for the First ward, for which he had been nom- mated, on account of business pressure. In Q Sunday paper interviews are given with quite number of the candidates for Alder men and Councilmen as to their opinions on the State House question. The answers are usually non Committal and statesmanlike, and the result is that the State House question re- mains riddle. Some of our leading poli- ticians maintain that the State House ques- tion has governed the selection of candidates for these positions in the city government. Most of the candidates interviewed were willing to leave the matter to the people. l The interest over the Town Clerk question is one which reaches quite large number of
 oters.
