The republicans met in caucus Sat urday evening and nominated w. H. Newton and Joel R. Hough as represen- tatives. and Michael Downs, z. P. Beach. D. w. Ives. Street Williams. w. c. Loomis. Charles Toother and F. M. Bartholomew for justices of the peace. J. R. Campbell was chairman and w. A. Trask clerk of the caucus, which was largely attended and harmonious in all It's doings. Both candidates were elect ed on the first ballot by unanimous vote. The ticket Is a strong one in every point. and there is but little doubt that 1t will be elected. W. H. Newton Is one of our representative citizens, who is popular with all classes, and has served as warden of the borough for sev- eral terms with credit. and without doubt will be the almost unanimous choice for the position at the next borough election.
 Joel R. Hough Is farmer residing on North Farms, near the Meriden line, and Is man of sterling character and respected by all who know him. He Is a member of the grange and will poll nearly every vote of the members with out regard to party. He served for three years during the war of the rebellion in Company K, Fifteenth Connecticut Volunteers. The ticket as g. whole Is considered the strongest ever nominat- ed in a republican caucus in this town. After the nominations were made short speeches wcYe made by the two nomi- nees, Messrs. Newton and Hough, Judge Hubbard, Colonel Leavenworth, D. M. Judd, s. J. Large and J. R. Campbell. The meeting was very enthusiastic one, and It's good results will be seen on election day. The meeting was ad- journed until this evening, when Sem ator Joseph R. Hawley will address the republicans in the town hall.
 The democratic rally in the town hall Friday evening was far from an enthu- siastic one. e.Congressman Pigott failed to satisfy many of the hearers that his record in congress was such as to war rant his being returned again. C.H.Tib- bitts, who had been advertised to pre- side at the meeting, failed to material ize, and B. A. Treat was in the chair. The meeting lacked the vim that has in other campaigns characterized demo- cratic rallies, and there were some un- occupied seats.
 The last republican rally. of the cam paign will be held in the town hall this evening, and Senator Joseph R. Hawley will address the meeting on the live is- sues of the day.As this rally will be the last of the campaign 1t should be a rouser.
 J. A. Martin for judge of probate on the republican ticket is strong candi- date, and is deserving of support on election day by every republican, and he will also poll many democratic votes, as he is popular among the young voters of the town. a,.''
