Celebrated the Voting of License by Burning Red Fire Plenteously. SHELTON, Oct. 5.-The republican ticket
 was elected throughout, with the excep- | ton of H. F. Grover for grand juror, who | was defeated by J. M. Hubble on vote of | 225 to 215.

 to have had fund of $5,000 for infuenc- | ing the election. In the Shelton mission chapel Sundey evening. prayers for a mo- 1 license vote were offered. The result of the election was a maiori- l ty of 95 for license, and last night the li-
 cense advocates were celebrating their victory with bonfres and drum corps. l For Selectmen, s. T. Palmer and s. B.
 Bronson, reps, and A. B. Booth were
 elected; J. Tomlinson, rep, was elected town clerk and town treasurer; D. T.
 Beecher and B. A. Nichol, reps, and E. I.

Republicans Elected-The Democrats l Elect the Former Postmaster Town l Clcrk-Twenty-S1x Majority for No l License at Savin Rock. l The voters of Orange held their annual town election yesterday when the repub- licans carried the town with the exception
 of town clerk, which position will be filled
 during the coming year by the democratic
 candidate, George H. Thomas, who was
 elected by about 40 majority. l This year breaks the record as to the l town clerkship, which has been held for
 many years by republican, the late Wal
 ter Main, and his son and successor, Wal
 ter, having for many years held the posi-
 tion. The result was surprise, as Rev. $. J. Bryant, who was nominated in place | of the latter, was in the opinion of many | likely to be the winning candidate, owing
 to his recognized ability and fitness for the l position and the public positions he has 1 held. Walter A. Main, the retiring town | clerk, declined to run again for the office, l as he is about to remove to Redlands, Cal where he is to take @ position under his friend and former fellow townsman, MT. Brown, one of the founders of Redlands and one of the leading men there. The ballots at yesterdays election were ! CTS on both sides bolted the regular nomi- ] nees. The republicans were elected by
 majorities that varied, nearly all of the
 successful candidates receiving maiorities of from thirty to forty. The result of the vote on the license
 question caused a surprise. The vote in the Orange district gave majority for no license of 63. The West Haven district
 went 37 majority for license, but this vote does not count in favor of the West Haven
 saloonkeepers as the no license majority
 in the town is 26.
