A Taxpayers, Battle.
 MERIDEN, Conn, Dec. 1.-The Republi- cans won big victory in the city election to-day. They carried everything but city clerk and are returning to power after three years. The opposing candidates for mayor were Benjamin Page, Rep, and State Sena. tor George N. Morse, Dem. Greater interest was shown in the contest than any previous one for many years. Both parties worked hard and MT. Page was victorious by 243 majority. The city clerk, Herman Hess, went through on his popularity alone and the opposition to making changes in the office. The council will stand 21 Republi- cans to Democrats, with one absentee Re- publican, making the actual vote 20 Repub~ licans to Democrats. The fight was not a political one, but taxpayers' battle: The Democrats had been inefficient and intended to raise the taxes for next year.

Sincere Thanks by One Who Appre eiates.


 eiates.
 With the year just closing desire to re- turn sincere and heartfelt thanks for the cen fdence and patronage that has been 30 gen. erously bestowed upon the Temple of Music. I hardly need say that it has been by far the most prosperous of all the years of my busy business life, nearly quarter of cen. tury.
 It is pleasing incident to have those to whom sold square pianos, organs and melo- deons twenty years ego and more come in and exchange them for the modern, beauti' ful, 6rst-class pianos that keep so large a stock always to select from.
 My customers, trust, will never find their confidence misplaced, but that every instru- ment sold will prove as recommended. l again return thanks that are not meaning less to our patrons and friends, and more especially to the Public Lever, the Press, that has said 50 many kind words for us dur ing adversity as we'll as prosperity. wish you all Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year. c.
