ro.uownow,s ELECrION.

Democrats Matched Out-The Fair Haven COntests-J0ttfngs Regarding 1 the Impending Hattie at the Polls. To-morrow's election continues to excite much interest in town. The lines of battle are drawn, the issues defined. Will Town | Agent Reynolds be re-elected2 is question
 often asked in all quarters. He has in hard fight won the nomination. Will he be again
 elected2 Democrats chiefly are asking the
 question. It is believed by most Democrats that Mir. Reynolds will have tight squeeze l to get elected. He has 8 strong opposition | in his own party arrsyed against him and he has strong opponent in the field in the per-
 son of Major Todd, the Republican candidate, I who is hard worker and has a strong back ing. The major is 8 member of the board of road commissioners and has long resided here, and has considerable experience in business and in city politics that well fits him for the office ot town agent. As to Mayor York, the talk about town is that he will not have walkover this time. There is adetermin- | ed opposition to him in his own party ranks,
 caused by his action in the Derby railroad l matters, the Lombard street extension and
 other grievances, and he has @ powerful ad-
 versary pitted against him in the person of our nominee for mayor, MT. H. F. Peck. Re- I publicans have strong hopes of electing MT. 1 Peck mayor. He is a citizen of high charac- 1 ter, manufacturer and business man of in l 6uence and marked ability. He is well quail l flied by his experience in public office for the | msyoralty, having served two terms as a | member of the board of councilmen and | once as alderman and having been chairman | of the lower branch. He is now, and has been for years past, member of the board 1 of education, and is man of marked executive ability. The public feeling is both among Democrats and Repub- 1 lioans that he would ably fill the office of Mayor. He was once before-in 1SS4-ran for Mayor, his opponent being ex-Mayor Hol- comb. He made fine run then and had Re- | publicans been alive to the fact that there was fighting chance for him then and acted accordingly he would doubtless have been elected, at least so many of our active Repub. lican workers firmly think. Now. it is urged,
 he has good fighting chance, and Republi- cans all about town are waking up to that fact and urging strong and earnest pull for him tomorrow. All that is needed is earnest work and every Republican should turn out l tomorrow and give MT. Peck his vote. In ward politics there will be much to- morrow to excite interest and call out large vote for g city and town election.
 The Second ward Democrats yesterday after incqbating for two weeks, matched out | the following ward ticket: Elisha Gilbert l for alderman, and George Treat, George Goe
 bel and Thomas Carr for couneilmen. Mir l Gilbert is coal agent for E. s. Kimberly 6 | Co.,, MT. Treat is one of the mason builders, Goebel the shoe dealer, and Carr is agent for
 the sale of goods. The Republican ticket in | the Second is George R. Burton for alder man, and J. W. Lowe, R. O. Loveridge and ! F. s. Hamilton for coancilmen. Mr. Burton | is the well known insurance agent, formerly ! principal for years of the schools in the Wash ington district, aud a member of the present council; MT. Lowe is the popular and enter prising druggist, and owner of considerable real estate in that section of the city, and will 1 make valuable working member of the common council; MT. Loveridge is the head l of Loveridge's business college, and MT. Hamilton is the we'll known lawyer. It is a strong ticket and one which the Republicans of the ward should elect if possible The Second is close ward and the fight will be a sharp one. So let every Second ward Repub- l lican turn out and secure 8 victory at the polls tomorrow.
 ELEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS. In the Eleventh ward, Fair Haven, Mr. | Norman A. Tanner of the Republican candi- dates for councilmen is man who has never | sought office, having previously declined to run when nomination was equivalent to an ! election. MT. Tanner has lived for forty years in the ward, and his integrity and moral standing citizen are we'll known to | all who have the pleasure of his acquaint- ance. He has always taken great pride ia the growth and prosperity of Fair Haven. If elected, anything he could honorably do for | the interests of the ward would find in him an enthusiastic supporter. MT. Tanner is 0 | member of the G. A. R. He enlisted at the ! commencement of the rebellion for nine | months in the Twenty O. ", and 1 enlisted in the First Connecticut Heavy artillery till the close of the war. The Shore Line Times speaks highly of Mir. Tanner. Messrs. Edward Stevens and Daniel Chipman, the other candidates for the council from the Eleventh, would also do efficient work in the common council. MT. James Hemingway for alderman deserves strong support and Eleventh ward Republicans should turn out tomorrow and elect the whole ticket.

Cannon was a delegate to the city convention and voted for Mir. Downes for city clerk, against B. J. Shanley, 8 fellow Democrat of the Seventh. It is understood that Mir. Can non will have the support of MT. Downes' friends.
 Assistant City Clerk CahiIl is candidate fer reelection and says he is in to win. He has most efficiently filled the position.
 
 Some of the friends of City Sheriff Thomas c. Hollis are making an effort te put his name on citizens ticket, but the proximity of election day may prevent a realization of their wishes.
 MIR. COLEMAN.
 John Coleman, the Republican nominee for sheriff, is well fitted for that office. Mir Coleman resides at 100 Gregory street.
