CITY AND TOWN POLITICS.
To-morrow,s Election-Talk About
Town-Ward Conference.-The Fight
in tho FIrst-Prohib1tiOnis for the
First Time Nominate a Full Set of
Ward Tickets.
The city and town elections awaken great
er interest among the democrats of New
Haven than presidential election with
congressional and gubernatorial election
thrown in. The control of the ward and
of the city government are at stake, and
| these being nearer home the issue is felt
to be more personal in character. The
democrats are still greatly elated over their
recent victory and profess to the intention
of making strong fight tomorrow. There
seems to be no great detection this time in
their ranks, and their leaders claim that
| they are practically unanimous on the city
ticket and in most of the wards. The re-
| publioans, on the other hand. though not
at all sanguine of victory, are well united
and harmonious and propose to make the
best fight that lies in their power. Prominent
| republicans said last evening that it be-
duty tomorrow. The ward leaders are
emphatic in calling upon the republicans
to vote early and thus facilitate the hard
work of the committees. Mr.. Dswell,
they urge, was, as 1t were, forced into the
nomination and sacrificed his own wishes
in again becoming the party's standard
bearer. His friends are numerous and his
fitness for the mayoralty unquestioned.
Every republican should turn out to-
1 and vii r0Se Co.
The fight is waxing very warm in 1.-The
First ward. 1t Is rumored that the pool
room element is working tooth and nail to
down Alderman Hitler. Mr.. Hitler, as is
we'll known, introduced the pool-room
! ordinance and the pool-room owners are
making this an issue. Mr.. Widman placed
himself on record while in the council by
voting to indefinitely table the pool room
ordinance. In this he showed his favor of
the pool-rooms Mr.. Hitler is firm in his
stand against the pool-rooms and expects
to have all the people Of the ward, indie
pendent of party, who desire honest gov
eminent on his side. Pool-rooms may
| win the day but honesty and good gov ern-
ment will make hard fight.
In this ward Dwight E. Bowers, the
democratic nominee for first councilman
has resigned and Talcott II. Russell has
been placed on the ticket. In the Second
ward there is another strong battle ground
for to morrow. Alderman Low was re-
nominated by the republicans, and tbs
democrats have put up strong ticket tc
confront him. Mr.. Sullivan was yester.
day In the ward rallying the forces and
making an effort to defeat Alderman Low
The old board of public works issue il

make the fight stiff one. Alderman Low

date, as shown by the big vote
he has polled every time he
zealously for the interest of the ward and
has been instrumental in promoting many
decided improvements which the people
appreciate. He has been, in a word, 8
most efficient public official, and the re-
publicans are determined to re-elect him
1t is very important fol. the republicans tc
carry this ward, as to lose this will be g
corresponding loss in power in the public
board.
