 Aldermen and Councllmen.
 Tomorrow will take place at the sev- eral voting places of the city and town the great battle of the ballots between the republicans and democrats, to de- eide which of the two parties will have control of the city and town govern- ments during the coming year. Not withstanding the fact that the demo- crats have a large normal majority the republicans are going into the contest very much encouraged. owing to the dissensions in the ranks of the demo- crats, and the fact that they were so overwhelmingly successful In the state election last month.
 The offices to be filled are mayor, city clerk, city auditor, city sheriff, city and
 town treasurer. town agent and board
 of selectmen. tax collector, assessors.
 members of the board of relief, and al-
 dermen and counci!men In the twelve
 wards of the city. The republicans
 have placed in nomination for all these
 offices able and competent men who, If
 elected, will carry out the duties of the
 several offices with honor to themselves
 and the party whose candidates they
 are.
 The managers of both parties have
 practically completed all arrangements
 for the coming contests. and will use
 every effort in their power to secure a
 majority of the votes cast tomorrow.
 The republican organization Is com
 2lete in every detail, and If hard. con-
 scientious work goes for anything, vic
 tory will surely perch upon their ban
 ners after the votes are counted to-
 morrow night.
 The republicans claim that in con-
 sequence of the lack of harmony among
 the rank and file of the democrats they
 have an unusually bright prospect of
 being successful They point to the fact
 that in the three overwhelmingly dem
 ocratic wards-the Third, Sixth and
 Seventh wards-the democracy Is se-
 riously crippled by wrangles and dis
 sensions, and the several factions are bitterly opposed to and will continue to fight with each other This state of af- fairs is especially true of the Third ward democrats. where the younger ele- ment of the party have,Iisen in, their might agalnst;the rule of Boss McGann, and it Is claimed that many of this faction with vote the entire republican ticket throughout Indeed this state ment was openly made at the recent democratic convention in this city by some of the Third ward democracy. Democratic meetings were held in the several wards yesterday, at which fur ther arrangements were made as to the
 work to be done tomorrow with a view to getting out the full democratic vote in the several wards of the city and town.
 Considerable opposition has developed
 withing few days to Mr. Bretzfelder, one of the democratic candidates for l selectman, and. it is said, this disaffec- tion is so pronounced that 1t may mean defeat of the democratic mem-
 bers and result in the election of Robert B. Baldwin as first selectman.
 It is also said that the German element almost to man will vote against Bretzfelder. No reason is given for the | opposition to him, but it is certain that considerable exists.
 SEVENTH WARD DEMOCRATS. The anti-Moore faction of the Seventh l ward democracy held a largely attend ed and enthusiastic meeting in Wash
 ington hall yesterday afternoon and decided to work against John H. Moore | for alderman. Several hundred of the younger element of the party were present. Ex-Police Commissioner Dan
 iel M. Sheehan presided and 1t was
 decided to call the organization "The Seventh Ward Independent Demo- | cratic Club" The members of the club decided unanimously to place the following ticket in the field and to
 work assiduously for its success to-
 morrow: For alderman, James E. Daley or John F. Burke; councilmen, William Kiernan, Thomas Cummings and Christopher Doerschuck. SIXTH WARD. The democrats of this ward have finally succeeded in placing ticket in the field. The meeting was held yes terday afternoon at 48 St. John street and the following ticket placed in noni- nation: Alderman, John B. Doughan councilmen, Dr. Henry Klenke, William
 T. Camp and John s. Mccarthy. This will be the only democratic ticket in the field in this ward. MEETING WAS A F1zzLE. A meeting of the Democratic Hebrew club was called for last evening at Trades Council hall. The purpose was to endorse Henry c. Bretzfelder for selectman. In this respect the meeting was a fzzle, for only live members ot the club enthused sufficiently in the interests of Bretzfelder to show up. This faithful quintet waited around for over an hour in the hope that more would show up, but none came and the meeting adjourned, after deciding l to cell another meeting for tonight. Those back of the movement are New man Ehrlich, Samuel Doroff and Zen jamin Slade. N 2 tff +.i ti9 + wEyO TIT EY IRE.
