THE LITTLE TOWN MEETINGS.


The October Elections In Connecticut
The Vote To-day Constitutional
Amendment Regarding Shrtevalty
Elections.
The ''ittle town meetings" take place all
over Connecticut to-day, except in New Ha-
ven and Bridgeport. The interest in them
is, of course, far from being as great as the
State election when State officers are chosen.
In these the issue is frequently decided by
purely local influences Still the town cleo
lions are straws which show which way the
wind blows, politically. Also to-day in all
the towns of the State the voting takes
place on the proposed constitutional amend
ment reading as follows:
s'Sheriffs shall be elected in the several counties
on the Tuesday after the first Monday of Noyem-
Der, A D. 1876, AMI quadrennaliy thereafter:
day of June following their election" Those who
bot OF wh be Written or printed
