Of the senators to be elected, eight are to take the places of republicans and four the places of democrats of the senators hold. ing over, five are democrats and seven re- publicans. So that gain of one senator this year to the democrats would give them the control of that branch of the leo lslature.. The republicans will be almost srta1n to gain one-in the third district -so that the democrats will need to cap- ture two districts, HOW republican, to con- trol the senate. Senators elected this year VIII have part in the election of a U. S, senator in 1885. I. M. GowDY, of Somers, the republican nominee for sheriff, is the senior deputy in the county, having been appointed in 1863 so that he is by right of seniority in order for promotion. He is, besides most ex- celleat officer, and can be trusted to dis | charge his duty fearlessly and conscienti- Dus'yt He has an excellent record not only as deputy but as town officer in 5omers, where no citizen is mora ;Yool;o;4 y trusted with the conduct of public mat ,ers.
