But let us look ut some OF the direct gains
to the town by this vote of no license, if
we have, as hope we have, officers that are
upright and honorable, who will regard their
oath OF Office more binding that the saloon
patronage, SO that they will faithfully execute
the laws.
First, the town has made a very great
moral gain. in .ceasing to be longer partner
in the traffic that debauches, degrades and
pauperizes her citizens and also in ceasing TO
hold her hand the bride money from tears
and blood,
Second, the town may save for legitimate
business from $4,000 to $4,000 earned by the
brain and muscle of her citizens and given to
enrich some eight or nine saloon keepers
who return them neither food, clothing nor
comforts for this life that to come.

productive labor, that with the saloons,
should have been lost through drunkenness
1t may save the expense of the arrest and
the caring for of many drunkards and their
families.

There Is considerable uncertainty and
very likely to be some litigation as to
which party has the first selectman of
Trumbull. The Democratic ticket was
In all other cases triumphant by good
ly majority; but Orville S. Mallett, the
Democratic nominee, received 9S votes,
while Elliott Nichols, the second Demo-
cratic nominee, had l05. On the Repub-
lican ticket, Warren +. Plumb, named
for first selectman, ran so far ahead of
his ticket as to receive l0l votes, three
more than Mr. Mallett, while Wilbert n.
Freach, the second republican, OBTAINED
~. Now the question is, whether Mr.
Mallett, being on the ticket which, as
whole, received plurality of all votes
cast, shall be first selectman, or whether
Mr. Plumb, who, though on ticket
which did not receive plurality, should
hold the Office by virtue of receiving
more votes than Mr. MaIlett. Lawyers
have been consulted and both Messrs
Mallett and Plumb assured that there is
no doubt that he has been elected; Re-
publican lawyers confidently assert that
