 With the Democratic Nominees.
 The big clock in the district court room registered the hour of 3 thls morn ing before the work of counting the votes and signing the certificates had been completed. Long before that, however, the general result of the cleo tion was known. It was announced that Mayor Baldwin had been defeated and that most of the democratic candi- dates on the town ticket had gone down with him.
 All through the evening knots of citi- zens gathered about the center and in the lobby of the City hall, waiting anxiously for the returns to be an nonnced.
 The delay Was in the fourth ward Here the heavy work of the dissatisfied democrats was put in and the counters had laborious task in footing up the totals.
 Every democrat whose name did not appear on. the independent ticket. with the exception of E. G. Kilduff, was slaughtered. The latter is saved for the reason that the candidate of the in dependents for city clerk was Edwin F. Platt, while the republican nominee was Edward B. Platt.
 The entire democratic school ticket was elected by good round majority. Rev R. w. Micou, who was a candidate for reelection, was dropped by the re- publicans.
 The democrats carried the fourth ward, and the third, with the exception of one councilman, John D. Bolan. The first and second wards ejectcd republi cans.
 There was considerable excitement in the fourth ward polling place in the morning, A gentleman who was iden- titied with the independent movement entered the room from one of the booths and passed out of the rear door without depositing his ballots. Emmet Reardon, a democratic slip writer, appealed to the moderator, claiming that the man should be apprehended. Reardon was told to mind his own business or he would be ejected from the room, as he was allowed there only through cour- tesy. Later the same voter entered the room through the rear door and voted | The claim Mir Reardon made was that if a man was allowed to leave the polling place with an official envelope in his possession, it would be very simple matter to buy votes with a certainty that the goods would be delivered, for the person bribed could be provided with sealed envelope and would be- fore receiving his pay deliver up the official envelope he received, which could be prepared for the next victim. The vote was the largest ever boiled in Waterbury except at the presidential election. The following figures tell the story: II
