ro-moRRo WIS ELECTION.

cratic majority to overcome, and the ques- ton is can 1t be overcomei Chairman Hugh Daley said Saturday evening that there was . good fighting chance for the election of the Republican ticket. No doubt not few Democrats would vote for Gen. Sloat and the rest of the ticket. Lieut.. Gov. Nerwin expressed confidence that the Republican ticket would carry the day, with good, solid earnest work. Republicans must turn out and do their duty. Police Commissioner Herbert E. Benton expressed himself hope- fully with regard to the ticket. It is Q good ticket. It ought to be elected, and with the detection against Reynolds still existing in the Democratic ranks and the general desire about town for new deal in town affairs, Republicans had a good working chance. There was talk about town of reunion of the Troup and Reynolds forces, of burying of the hatchet by those opposing factions. There was also talk of deal between the which dscord was to cease and Dunn be- come e candidate unopposed by Reynolds next year. The Union came out with DOT trait of MT. Reynolds Saturday evening It looked as if printers ink had done too much for the candidate. Then there was great deal of talk also to the effect that Reynolds would lose heavily at the hands of his own party despite these alleged amicable compro- misses. The fact that the new system of se- cret voting goes into effect tomorrow for the first time in New Haven gave additional interest to the coming election.
 Captain O'Connor, brother-in-law of MT. Reynolds, carried home a copy of the Union of Saturday night. He was confident of Nr. Reynolds election, he said. It would be . vindication of MT. Reynolds if any were now needed. but MT. Reynolds had already been gating Committee had disclosed nothing damaging or derogatory. MT. Reynolds would also gain not few Republican votes. There was also harmony in the Democratic ranks.
 On the other hand prominent and staunch Democrats were out Saturday to obtain split tickets headed py the Republican board of selectmen, the rest of the ticket Democratic:
 Sixth ward Republicans have nominated for alderman, Albert M. Sohappa; for coun. cilmen, Edwin P. Root, John J. Jacobus, Elmer A. Smith.
 Fifth ward Democrats: Alderman, Joseph B. Cunningham; councilman, Frank H. An- drews, William Kaorhle, and Daniel F. Mo- Williams.
 Ninth ward Democrats: Sam uel R. Avis; counoilmen, James Kelley, Adam |
 Lawyer Hamilton, Republican nominee for alderman in the second, has done able and effective service for the city in the common council and proven a too valuable public ser want te lose. A strong effort will be made by the Second ward Republicans to elect him to morrow.
 MT. Abe Bretzfslder, the Chapel street dry goods man, who has been nominated by Fourth ward Democrats for common coun- cilman, will undoubtedly make . good run. He is popular in the ward and stands good show of being city father, his ward being a Democratic ward. MT. M. Sonnenbsrg, of Shoninger & O.. on Chapel street, will doubtless poll large vote In tho Eighth ward. and be returned has done excellent service. MT. Munson, of the Paper Box company, will also undoubtsd- ly make good run for the common council in the Eighth.
 The Democrats of the eighth ward have nominated Smith G. Weed, the hardware dealer, as their candidate for alderman. The nominees for councilmen are Messrs. Philip Pond, Edward M. Hauser and Charles E. Carroll. Mir. Pond is the we'll known in- suranoe agent and was for several years a member of the board of education. The Democratic managers claim that they are going to try their very best to elect their ticket.
 The Fair Haven electors are looking for ward with interest to to-morrow's election, when the first test of the new election modus operandi will be made. In the Twelfth ward the booths will be located in the big Quinnipiao rink, and there will be an abund- aace of room. The great contest is to be fought in the Eleventh ward between the present incumbent, Captain Timothy F. Cal lahan, and K. H. Johnson. the Republican candidate for alderman. It expected that both sides will poll their available strength and the result is awaited with much interest. The Republicans have a good ticket in the Twelfth, but they hardly expect to win in 80 strong Democratic district, although Dr. William H. Thomson was once elected au alderman and Julius O. Cable came within hften votes of an election to the same office General Sloat when interviewed last nigh had but just returned from New York ,whith l CT he went Saturday by telegraphic appoint ment. The general smiled when the Demo cratic roorbach concerning "his ineligibility' was mentioned. He had but just heard of 1t He pronounced the report as anfounded. H' | had never voted elsewhere than in New Ha ven since he became voter thirty years ago | He had never changed his residence. Nov | Haven was his home and his voting place When his vote was challenged in the Fiftl ward at the last presidential election he con suited two prominent lawyers, both of whom informed him that he was legally a vote here. He did not go back to swea in his vote, as Democratic friend they would more than make good his vote His name is on the Fifth ward registry list and he was informed to that effect by MT Douglass. "But," said the general in cor tinuation, "as far back as the time when

 General sloat said last evening that he wa heartily in favor of T. A. Futile for rt appointment as tax collector.
 The talk about Gen. Sloat not being eligi
 ble to run for town agent is of course raise' | to turn the minds of weak Republicans
 Said Chairman Hugh Daley: His case
 similar to that of Tom Platt's, one of tn
 National Republican leaders. His poaitio
 as president of the United States Expres company kept him in New York. His fami ly also resided there with him. But once
 twice year he and his family would go |
 his former home, which he claimed as hi
 residence. His vote was challenged by th Democrats, but it was clearly proven that 2
 long as he called that place his home an
 voted in no other place he could vote there
 Gen. Sloat was challenged in the same way
 He at once consulted two prominent law
 yers, and after hearing all the fact
 he was told by both that b
 could legally vote, and that his hom
 was still here, as he had never changed il At that time he had told some of his Demo
 cratic friends about his being challenged
 They said 1t was @ dirty piece of bushes and they refused to vote the Democrat
 ticket at that election.
 "Why, it's all Democratic wind," said
 Republican last night "They see that Slos
 has . fair chance of election and they arc d.
 ing everything possible to defeat him. As
 his name not being in the registry list, 1t cs
 tainly is, and 1t gives his residence as N
 610 Chapel street."
