WALLINGFORD.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon the time expired for putting in applications to be made voters for the coming elec- tion in November. At that time the names of S78 applicants had been re- ceived in the first voting district, to the registrars of which number 300 came from republican sources; that Is, were handed in with republican vouchers The figures from the Second voting dis trict, Yalesville, show that fifty-one ap- lications had been received, of which number fully four -fifths are counted as sure for Mckinley. There is no doubt but that there are quite a number Of names out of the 429 that will fail to pass the board for various reasons, but it is safe to count on at least $50 being made voters, and some of those made may vote different from what they are figured upon. This rule always works on both sides, but averaging up the changes, 1t is safe to count on the new voters to be made at least three to one in favor of Mckinley. At the recent town election there was a majority of 13S for the republican ticket, and 1t Is known that quite a number of demo- crats who voted straight on the town ticket will cast their votes for Mckin- ley and sound money on November 3, which, with the increase in. new voters, ought to bring up the republican ma jority to at least 300.
