 NAuaATucK. Sept 2I.-A republican eau GUS is called for Monday evening at town hall to appoint delegates to congressional. senatorial, county and probate cJnven- ton. On Tuesday evening from to 8 o'clock a vote will be taken by the borough as to whether or not the borough shall as- sume charge of the fire department on terms proposed by town. At o'clock a meeting will be called to lay a borough tax. On Wednesday evening a republican town caucus will be held. The populists expect to nominate town ticket on Mon day evening.

Ex-Postmaster Moulthrope will probably be nominated for first and Patrick Duffy for second on the republican ticket, while we hear MT German and Mir Ham talked of by leading democrats. As there are three members of the board of education to be elected, each party should put up one good man and agree on a lady for the third candidate.

ATTORNEY kE1LoGG's OPINION.

Town Clerk McMahon has received the following communication from Attorney John r. Kellogg in answer to a question asked by the town clerk in relation to the law governing the closing of the womens voting list It is an indorsement of the stand taken by the clerk and shows that the register WAS kept open last year two days beyord the time stated for closing the lists in the section quoted from the gene rsl statutes The lists must be turned over to the registrars next Monday so that women who desire to register Tn time to vote at the coming school election should present themselves at the town clerks office either to-day or tomorrow. Here is what Attorney Kellogg says:
 Waterbury. Ct Sept 20. 1894. Thomas F. McMahon, Town Clerk:
 Dear Sir-Iu response to your request of the 18th inst, for an opinion as to when the register of women who may vote at the coming election must close, I would re- spectfully submit the following: In Section of the net incorporating the Center School district of Waterbury passed by the general assembly at it's January session 1880 is the following language:
 "The registrars of voters in said town shall have the same powers in reference to voting lists, appointing moderators and
 
 meetings. and the same shall be done in the same manner as is now provided by law for town meetings. and they shall, at | least five days before the first meeting and every annual meeting of said district, pre- pare and complete correct lists of all the legal voters of said district by voting dis I tricts, and lodge the same with the district clerk"
 Chapter CCLXvI of the public acts of d., n | that any woman duly qualified may be | registered by the town clerk as voter so | far as school officers are concerned Section of the same act makes it the duty of the | registrars of voters to prepare separate lists | of the names of those women registered by the town clerk, under ths provisions of said act.
 Inasmuch as the act incorporating the Center school district, as above set forth. makes it obligatory upon the registrar of voters at least five days before every an- nual meeting of said district. to prepare and complete correct lists of all the legal voters of said clerk, it is unquestionably | my opinion. so far as the Center school district is concerned, that the registrars must hle their separate lists of the names of women registered by the town clerk with the clerk of said district at least five days before the annual meeting. Section | of the said act provides that the annual meeting of said district shall be held on the Saturday preceding,the First Monday of October; ;,therefore this year it will be the duty of the registrars to file said lists not later than Monday, the 24th. inst. Section 2170 of the general statutes, to which you refer, is not applicable to the Centerischool district. as a general statute does not repeal a special act unless it is expressly so stated.
 | Respectfully yours. JOHN F. KELLOGG, Town Attorney.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
To the Editor of the DEmocnAr:

T " hhc 1-hAAok VI tnc bEMpIhAIs
 Sir:-The question has often been asked, "Will the peoples party have a ticket at the primaries on the evening of September 21 ?" Please allow space for the following explanation, which I think un- necessary, but as the question has been asked it may be we'll to answer it, stating the reason why there will not be any such ticket presented at the primaries to be held this evening" As these are demo- cratic primaries it seems quite proper that no ether tickets should be presented at the caucus. As to the peoples party ticket, beg to inform all who may desire to be enlightened on this matter. that the peoples party nominating committee will meet in convention in Labor hall this evening to complete the ticket. which will be presented to the electors of Waterbury for their consideration as soon as possible. The ticket is being prepared at the request of four hundred legal voters of the city of Waterbury. whose honest convictions have forced them to the conclusion that thtre is imminent need of reform in the manage msnt of the public affairs of the town and city of Waterbury.
