Just Before the BattIe-EveningC Caucusss No Tnxpayers' T1cket-The Ward Tickets-The Town Clerkship.
 The town and city election takes place to- day, and fresh indications of some such event were visible all about town yesterday, espe' cially last night, when some of the independ- ent voters and pledged voters and candidates for the Common Council and for other offices were apparently full of business, any number of open air caucuses being held on the street corners.

 ''One who knows'' writes that the rumor of an alliance between Messrs. Hugo and Shuster for 8 division of the spoiIs is great mistake.
 The following communication is signed ''Honest Democrat, and purports to state why MT. Shuster withdrew:
 Up to last Wednesday evening Sinister was all sure with the delegations Men toat were put to de1ega- cations in his fayor deman ed S25 for their vote in the convention and he refused to buy votes and clu5ed to withdraw. On the Sunday before the Board of Regstr ration met to make voters, which the 21et of October, Mir. Hugo met MT. Shuster Frank lin street and shook hands and said that he did not TO wanted was to be on the Board of Seectmep. Now we would say to the voters of New Haven that man and declare himself candidate is not 1t to become the Town Clerk of the town of New Haven. The returns this evening will be received at the usual place under Peck's Grand Opera House. As usual on town and city election days there will be large vote to count and variety of Democratic ward tickets to mix up matters in the Third and Seventh wards and these wards will not be heard from very early A large throng is expected in the lobby of the hall to hear the result of the returns an nounced. In the Democratic committee room last evening regular Democratic tickets were be ing distributed having upon them in addi- tion the names of T. K. Dunn, William Hull and Charles Ruickholdt for assessors, the distribution being made by a member of the party's finance committee. Beside this there is another Democratic ticket out which will be at the booths this morning having upon it the names of Ezra B. Dibble Charles Ruick- oldt and T. K. Dunn. The last two named are now assessors The object aimed at in getting out these extra tickets is to test the constitutionality of the three year term of office for assessors and to have hearing on the proposed plan of mak, ing the terms of Town Clerk and registrar of births etc., two years instead of one as now. l The present assessors under the law hold | office till two years from next June. Although neither party made nominations | for assessors two tickets for assessors, one ! the other Democratic, have beens issued. The Republican bears the | names of Ezra B. DibbIe, Dem. ,and John H. | Rowland and Edward c. Beecher, Rep. One of the papers printed the name of R E. Bald win as one of the candidates for assessors. MT. Baldwin authorizes us to say that he is | not a candidate. The tickets are issued on | the ground that the law making the term of | three Years is not constitutional
