TRUMBULL.

More than usual interest was taken in
our annual town meeting, Monday, ow-
ing, for one prominent cause at least, to
the controversy, last season, over the
office of first selectman. Each party had
a decision in its favor from jurists of
equal eminence, fairness and ability.
Nothing was settled and each was pre-
sumably anxious ssto try titles" again.
The result, this time, is so decisive, and
our people have spoken so conclusively.
that it is hoped no courts of law may be
called again to interfere. An applica-
ton was made to the town. one of the
parties to the contest, to pay his legal
expenses in the suit, while the other
asked for nothing, but has presumably
paid his own. Seldom has any cause
tried been more equally balanced than
this and, surely, if one of the parties is
paid his expenses by the town, the 9TH
er should be; in fact, each should pay
his own. 1t was not Of 81 consequence
to the town which acted as first select
man and, if the parties cared enough
about it to fight it out, let them pay the
bill. This is the way our fathers would
have done. Years ago, people were not
as anxious to find excuses for running
their arms to the elbows in the town
treasury, as they appear to be in these
times. The proposition to pay the bill
was not passed, but voted down, where
It should stay. Fl. +. Fairchild, Esq,

An unusually large vote was polled,
resulting in the election of the entire Re-
publican ticket. George Sherman was
moderator of the electors meeting, j. r.
Sanford of the business meeting. The
town voted to accept the legacy of the
late William Il. Dennison, the interest of
which is to be applied to keeping his bur-
ial plot in order. Fifty dollars was vot-
ed toward re-imbursing Wilton for ex-
pense incurred in bringing Luddington
and Brown to justice. Years receipts,

rowed. There is balance of $1196 OF
in the treasury. The bonded debt is
$24, 900 and the interest paid, last year,
$500, is the largest item of expense,
over quarter of the whole outlay.

THE TOWN ELECTIONS.
NEWTOWN.

The town meeting, Monday, was re-
markably short and sweet. The reports
of the selectmen and town treasurer were
accepted without annoying questions, a
town tax of 10 mills was laid and it was
voted to close the town accounts, Septem-
Der 20, as was done, this year and have
printed reports of the selectmen, town
treasurer and school board ready for dis
tribution at the town clerks office five
days before the town election.
Despite all the trouble the secret bal
lot law is now making the State through
incorrect and marked ballots, Newtown
Republicans made the same mistake, this
year, their tickets being headed "Repub-
lican ticket" instead of simply "Repub-
lican" and the word "For" preceding all
the offices but town treasurer and school
visitors, while this ''For'' was crossed
off with pencil on part of the ballots as
well as ''To fill vacancy for two years.
under the name of Ezra l.. johnson, Sec
ond candidate for school visitor. The
ballots with the word ''For" were count
ed, while 90 Republican ballots were
thrown out as mutilated, because mark
ed as described. This gives the Republic
cans but one member of the school board,
Il. J.. Johnson and gives the Democrats
the four registrars of voters. Charles b.
johnson, however, who has been Repub-
lican registrar in the first and candidate
for reelection said, Monday night, that

one registrar in each voting district. Re-
