 The democrats also met last evening. They held their caucus in the borough rooms over the postoface in West Haven and placed full ticket in the field. The caucus was one of the most largely attend ed ever held by the party, and the enthu- siasm ran almost up to fever pitch. The old feud, which has for some time existed between the two factions, championed by David Platt and Deputy Sheriff James H. Peck, was reopened and for some time it looked as though the fun would be fast and furious. Each faction has Q consider able following in the borough, and in con sequence the friends of each standard bearer turned out in full force to the aid of their respective leaders. The meet ing was called to order and the first gun brought to bear upon the multitude show ed conclusively that the Platt faction was in the ascendancy, and, in consequence, David Platt was elected chairman of the meeting and Dr. John F. Barnett secre- tary.
 The first real strength of the opposing factions was brought out on the informal ballot when the nominations for town agent was called. David Platt was at once put in nomination and on the in formal ballot succeeded in polling eighty four votes to ffty-fve votes for E. N. Woodruff, who was the leading candidate of the Peck faction. There were also fourteen votes cast between several other candidates The whole number of votes cast amounted to 153, of which seventy seven was necessary to choice and Mir. Platt having secured eighty-four more than sufficient to choice, was de- clared the nominee and immediately after upon motion the ballot was made formal and unanimous.
 Nominations for town clerk were then made and the informal ballot resulted as follows: George H. Thomas, 113; A. c. Hartman, 22; J. P. Barnett, 1. The bal lot was made formal and the nomination of MT. Thomas unanimous.
 A committee of five, consisting of Dr. Barnett, Charles T. Sherman, James H. Peck, P. J. Rourke and Frederick Stone, was then upon motion appointed and the balance of the ticket made up by this com mittee.
