New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1.-THE
weather is pleasant. A largo vote is being
polled, but owing TO the free use of pastors, 1t

various tickets are running. The principal
interest centers in the legislature, there being
four state tickets in the field. 1t is conceded

is very close and the Indications are that the
Republicans will capture at least one repre-
sentative in this city, as the Democratic
labor ticket is being badly scratched.
