Not Celebrated Last Evening In COnse- /
auence of the Storm-The Demo- |
cratic Majority Kept Down Election |
Day-NeWsy Items From the Busy |
Town.
Last evenings rain and snow put stop
to any outdoor demonstration on the part
of the jubilant democrats, but it is posi-
BILE that one evening may be devoted to a
general jollifcation on account of the dem
ocratic victory. But if such program is
carried out it will be entirely out of place
for any reference to be made to the part
Wallingford took in bringing about such
glorious results and the orator, if there is
one, should be warned not to make any refer
encs to the able work done on the part of
the democratic workers here on and be-
fore, election day for although Chairman
B. A. Treat is happy over the result
throughout the country he would rather
that the part the Waliingford democrats
took in the battle would not be spoken of.
The republicans are correspondingly jubi-
liant over the way the democratic majority
here was kept down, and had the
other towns done as we'll there
would have been different result.
In fact, the battlefield of Meriden and
Wallingford is about the only place the
| republicans can find any satisfaction in
looking over. The candidates for post
master already begin to loom up, and two
of our local newspaper correspondents are
mentioned for the position There are
several others who look into the windows
of the postofice as they pass by and won
der if it would be possible to work up 9
successful boom for the coveted prize.
Even one of the recent converts to democ-
racy has been seen to smile as he
passed by the door. Most Of the election bets
on New York and Connecticut have been turned
over to the winners New hats will be plenty
before hitting their heads to the new hats, al
there is a possibility that the size may vary
