the ssLfttle Town Meet1ngs.o
HARTFORD, Oct. 6.-Returns from about
half the towns in the state show nearly the
usual quantity of changes. In Hartford
county the democratic gains seem on these
returns to outnumber the republican,
while in New Haven county it is the other
way. Returns from the eastern part of
the state are meagre. In general the vote
was light. Figures thus far do not show
any decided drift of feeling either way
such as is sometimes indicated even in
these town elections. 1t looks as if the
voting had been almost wholly on local
issues. The election here passed off quietly
and very light vote was polled.
On account of the system of minority
representation in the different boards and
vacancies on the tickets all the nominees
on the republican and democratic tickets
were elected except one. Both parties
nominated two candidates for the board of
school visitors, while the board consists of
three. Two democrats and one republican
were elected. The board of selectmen
chosen was: George W. Fowler, democrat
ic and republican, Thomas ]. Blake, dem.
William Westphal, DEM, John A. Crilley,
T6p., anu EuWlu d. I0p.
