CONNECTICUT TOWN ELECTIONS.
REPUBLICANS UNITED-MUsICAL EvENTs-TRoL-
LEY SYSTEM.

Hartford, Conn.,, oct. 1O-Tbe result OF the town
elections in the State Is than satisfactory to the
Republicans. They have gained In seventeen towns
while the Democrats show gains In only eleven. While
party lines are not tightly drawn on these local cleo
tons partly because OF the minority representation
feature Of the law, and partly because Of the local
matters always ISSUE it is true that there Is often
GOOD deal of political strife the result in the
towns because OF the control Of the boards OF regis
traon Of voters The boards elected this year VIII
make up the Presidential list Of voters. and there Is
something to be gained by having efficient Republican
registrars and competent boards Of selectmen TO en-
force their work. The Republican gains this year
are in direct opposition to the ofrepeated statement
by TIT Democratic press that the party Is not holding
together on account of the attitude of the Legislature
on the Gubenatorial question. This is now seen To
be a mistake. The party is strongly united, never
more So and IS ready begin work for 1882 In the
best OF form.
Tic prospects for legislation at the November
session are not considered good 1t is true that the
quo warranto cases will before the Supreme Court
before the session, but If the court should pass
upon the questions raised that would have little effect
In strengthening out matters. The quo warranto merely
refers to the title of Governor Bulkeey and the other
Republican State officers who are held In place 10y
constitutional provisions, and does in any way
affect the question to whether Judge Morris or Gen
elal Megwiu is entitled to the Governors chair. Tho
last meeting OF the Republican state Committee at New
Haven revealed the fact that the Republicans VIII
stand in place they have since the session begun,
and will not be moved by any considerations that may
arise unless the Democrats concede to greater extent
than they have yet shown a willingness to-
The town election here noticeable because the
Republicans for the first time In many years ran a
straight ticket Heretofore they have named Demo
Gratis who IN Office, In return for tho compliment
OF The Democrats naming Republican who held office
The result the same as In years past. The Re
publcans elected Treasurer Strong and the Democrats
elected the rest of the town officials The effect Of
the sa ght ticket will be to strengthen the party in
the belief that alliance with the Democrats is of no
especial value. AS 10 the matter OF registration Of
voters for the present year, there was only one day
assigned for the purpose and that day the Repub-
cans made within twelve Of the number the Demo
Gratis did, which Is remarkable showing In a city
that usually goes over 900 Democratic.
The coming winter is TO be one of unusual musical
activity In this city. The Choral Union has begun
the rehearsal OF It's chief production, "st. Paul" under
the direction Of Richmond p. Paine, who Is new to
chOruSes in the state The intention Is 20
large the chorus to 200 and more, and 10 make a
vigorous campaign. Inc AuSursa CLUB is also going
10 give TWO concerts, and there four
OF entertainments In which concerts largely pre-
dominate for the entertainment OF The people OF Hart
ford the coming winter
The trolley system the line Of street cars running
from here 10 East Hartford will probably be put In at
an early date. Property owners along the line with
one or two exceptions have made no objections, and
II the Street Commissioners consent the trocys Will be
In working order before long. This will be an i'm
portant addition TO the outfit OF the street railway
company 1t will enable a To connect with its cleo
trc line across the river from East Hartford TO Glas
other directions. II is extending It's tracks at the
north end to Wcstland-st preparatory 10 opening In
few months the belt line 10 the West side which has
sections.
