| new system works. Then there will be hot fights in more than half a dozen of the wards over the ward tickets. Then, too, all the liquor saloons must be closed all day to. day, and until tomorrow morning at o'clock. This is the first operation here of the new law on this subject. Prosecuting Agent Niles has given notice to the police. so that from 12 o'clock last night until o'clock to- morrow morning the saloons will be kept closed, to all outward appearances, at least, and there will be dry season for thirsty pol itioians. The vigor and ardor of the com bat will, nevertheless. not flag. So take it all In all, there will be a spirited contest to- day. The Republican leaders are earnestly hoping for as fair weather to-day as that oi yesterday, as stormy weather always affects the Republican vote unfavorably.
 The Secret Ballot system. | To-day the voters of New Haven will have to learn the new system of secret balloting' There will be only two boxes, a box for | city and town votes and box for the license | and no license vote. The voter gets his ticket at tho ticket booth, en- velope for the ticket at the envelope booth | and then passes alone into the private inner enclosure, where he makes up his ticket to l suit him. He can use pastors as much as he | likes but the day of split tickets has de- parted. There can be no split tickets, as | only the official tickets can be used, tickets | printed on the official paper provided by the State of Connecticut Having made his ticket to suit himself, and placed them in the envelopes, or in other words the voter having prepared his bal lots, he goes out of the private enclosure to where the boxes are and depos- its his respective ballots on top of the respec- | tive boxes and then passes out to make room for the next man. Of course 1t is under stood that the voter cannot vote unless he is registered and his name is upon the voting list. The voter does not insert his ballots in- to the boxes. That is done for him by the box-tender. All this voting operation may look little intricate and considerable ex. plaining will no doubt be necessary at the polls to-day, but the operation is very simple when comprehended and is easily learned. It Is expected also that the voting to-day will be quite rapid in spite of the new system. More Counters, Etc.
 The work of counting the votes is in- creased by having both town and city tickets in the same box, but by the new law there will be ten counters of ballots in each ward instead of four or six, as under the old law. Under the new law also there will be but enc moderator in each ward, instead of one each for town and city boxes. as under the Olu ihWs 1uo IekietrhIb nppoine tuo hAoocAs- tors the same as hitherto.
 There will be today at each voting place four challepgers and four booth tenders and e supervisor of voting for each booth.
 There will be strong and determined ef- fort in the Tenth to elect Hugh Daley as alderman. It is earnestly hoped that Mir. Daley will be elected, and elected by good safe majority. He is public official that has long and ably served the city and town av,l hot Ia a 1or vuith al with all classes.
 Lawyer Hamilton.
 The Republicans of the Second ward should see to 1t that Lawyer Hamilton is re- turned to the ranks of the city fathers as an alderman. He has done excellent and able service as Q councilman and is @ very useful man in the councils of the city.
 Councilman Lowe.
 Councilman John w. Lowe should be re- turned to the council. He has served the city with untiring faithfulness and energy and good judgment, has ever been alive to the interests of his ward. and as popular city father as any man in the board.
 A Hos Contest i'm she Third.
 There will be hot contest in the Third ward among the Democrats for alderman. City Father McGann is @ strong candidate, popular in the ward and an sstute politician. He and his friend Sullivan, ex-member of the public works board, are leaders in the ward and influential in town politics. Tier nan, the opposition Democratic candidate, is also popular, and has for a packer ex-City good deal of work is being done on both sides.
 A Big Fight in che FlrsS.
 The contest in the First will be one of the most spirited for years. The Democrats have three Yale men on their ticket. They have up for alderman Yale professor. Professor Bsebs, and for councilman, William Kelly, the base ball and polo umpire; Edward A. Sargent, a popular young business man, son of J. B. Sargent, and graduate of the Yale s. s. s., and Frank G. Beach, one of the most promising and talented of the younger members of the New Haven bar. The Republicans have Prof. Chandler at the head of their ticket, who is spoken of below. A. Maxey Hitler, Yale graduate, who did ex- cellent service when in the Common Council not long ago, Francis E. Hunn, a good busi- ness man and member of the firm of Bow ditch, Pruddsn & Co.,, and Charles D. Nicoll, . popular young man, son of Dr. Nicoll.
 German Votes for Henry Hillman.
 There will be some tall work done among the German voters to-day in favor of Henry Hillman, the ice cream manufacturer and confectionery dealer. He Is a very popular man and will poll not Q few votes among the German Democrats. He is @ good busi- ness man and would make an efficient select- man.
 A Violent and Unwarrantsd Attack
 Upon Prof. Chandler.
 Among the Republican candidates for members of the court of common council who were violently attacked by the Register last night, was Prof. William E. Chandler of the First ward, the Republican candidate for alderman. The Register went 50 far as to state that MT. Chandler made red, red war on the Green fence, and purported to give his record on the question in the court of common council, the whole statement of which is unqualiAedly false. As matter of fact MT. Chandler left his chair as presi- dent of the council and took the floor for the purpose of making tho motion that summarily killed for all time the report of the committee on squares, which recom- mended the removal of the fence. The alder men had tabled the report for printing. At the November meeting of the council Mr. Chandler took the floor and moved that the ''council do not concur with tho aldermen, " saying that not cent ever should be paid
 
 Dc Killed right then and there, which was done.
 The insinuations of the Register that Prof. Chandler has been in favor of excessive ex- penditures in the city government is best re- futed by the fact that he yearly pays c tax OF the list of $25 ,000, and such taxpayer is not liable to vote away large sums of money fol unnecessary matters which would burden his own pocket. Such attacks show the despera ton of the Democrats who are trying to de- feat Mr. Chandler.
 An Abusive Attack Upon Councilman Hubbard.
 A specimen of the desperate straits ir which John o. Doody. the candidate for al derman of Democratic faction in the Fourtl ward, is placed, was the Abellous misstate ment in the Register last night charging | Councilman Hubbard with remarks alleged to have been made year ago in which he fl wickedly charged with saying he could buy enough Irish votes in the Fourth ward tc l elect him with glass of rum. As soon d | Nr. Aubbard saw the Register article las, night he immediately made the following | T, B. Dexter Hubbard, being duly sworn, declare that the malicious statements in the evening paperi | Of Monday, December 2, that ever made any re- marks refectng on the Irsh vote, or said that any abeolutely false in every particuarI called oA Rev Farther EcKeon teddy, and he declared that hii remarks Sunday had no reference to me and he would as soon zee me elected alderman as anyone el0e, B.
