 Ravenss Vote by Wards Four Years l
 Ago.
 To-day culminates the political campaign 1 of 1888 and by this time, after the many elaborate and powerful arguments which have been made showing that the United States prospers under protection and lan- guishes under free trade, the voters must have made up their minds as to where their
 true interest lies. The tin pail argument,
 for instance, has been dropped by the Demo-
 cratic leaders, it having appeared that by protection the workingman's tin pail costs
 him about one-eighth of cent more than it would without it, while with protection he has the money with which to buy tin pails, good food and luxuries as well. The issues are, in other words, sharply defined and 80 plain that he who runs may read. The result in New Haven largely determines the result in the State. This is confessedly the Connecticut Democrats great stronghold. It takes "a host of Republican country towns to eounterbalance the Demo- cratic majority here. And yet all is not so sure for the Democrats, even in Democratic New Haven. The Democracy claim large increase in their vote here over that of 1884. They will of course poll a considerably larger vote to-day than in 1884. But the Republi- cans in New Haven have gained in numbers also, and have never been better organized or more active in this campaign of 1888. Every ward has been thoroughly canvassed. In every ward the Young Mems Republican club has done some earnest, telling work. QrfJT7nn nonta hovn Qdd Had but few converts here, Republican arguments l have changed the votes of many Democrats, 1 in favor of protection. There will be many more Irish-American votes for the Republi- can ticket this year in this city than in 1884, all on account of protection. Irishmeu see what English free trade did for Ireland and don't want the prosperity of this country jeopardized by free trade. Then, too there are from 100 to 150 more Swedish Republi- cans in New Haven than in 1884. Nine- tenths Of the new voters among the Swedes are Republicans. Democratic Swedes are greatly in the minority in the Swedish ranks. Then, too, there are 150 to 300 more Italian Republicans in New Haven than there were four years ago. As to the German associations there has been
 quite notable increase in this city of the German Republican vote Germans know that protection works we'll in the fatherland and are suspicious Of free trade tendencies in
 this country and of the Democratic party, which hes always been favorable to free trade. Then there has been es stated live, wide awake, thorough work done in the Re publican ranks here. All these things in- dicate that the Cleveland and mugwump party in New Haven isn't going to have as decided a walkover here as some of the party leaders and ward workers think, or claim to think As to the congress sional struggle, there has also been some very wide-awake work done for H. Wales Lines 0Tf nv1Ir 1rAc day that Wilcox, the Democratic candidate, would be considerably scratched here. Still, to overcome the Democratic majority in New Haven some tall work for MT. Lines will have to be done in Meriden and other small CT outside places in the district Another
 straw is seen in the fact that out of the 8, 500
 new voters made there the Republicans have 43 per cent of them.
 A considerable stir was created yesterday afternoon by the discovery of an unfortunate error of omission on the Republican State ticket. The error on the ticket was the omission of the name of Judge A. Heaton Robertson. Under the caption 'For Judge ot Probate" no name appears-nothing but 6
 blank. There was much indignant comment
 at Republican headquarters upon the omiss sion, and the oversight or blunder was greatly
 regretted. Judge Robertson was greatly sur prised to find that his name was omitted. He was shown ticket at his office at about three o'clock yesterday. Judge Robertson, who is Democratic judge of probate was renomi-
 mated for the place by both Republicans and Democrats% So it won't make any serious difference. He will "get there" just the
 same. The remedy is, of course, as Judge Lynde Harrison remarked, for each voter to write the name of Judge Robertson upon the ballot on the blank space where it should
 have been printed. It was stated in Repub- lican circles yesterday that there was de- lection against Judge Robertson in North HaU h1k" yesterday in this city, emphatically denied the report as incorrect, saying that North Haven Republicans willingly acquiesced in
 the nomination of Judge Robertson by the
 Republicans, and would all or nearly all vote for him. The discovery of the omission was made too late to rectify it. There was not
 time to print new batch of tickets The
