ENYH USIA ASTIO ELECTORS NAMED
 THIS SCHOOL TICKET.

Tho Opposition to Miss Marie E. Ives
 Crystalized Around Colonel Morgan
 His Nomination tho Main Interest of
 Last Nights Meeting-When This Was
 Accomplished the Selection of the Ke-
 mainder of the Ticket Was Easy-The
 Fight will be Between Miss Ives and
 Colonel Morgan.
 William F, Morgan, Frederick A. Betts and James T. Moran, the retiring members of the board of education, were nominated as candidates for re- election last evening at a mass meeting of school electors in Harmonic hall The meeting was one of enthusiasm and had for it's principle object the nomination of MT. Morgan. It will be remembered that at meeting held last week the name of William ID. Mor- gan was not mentioned, owing to the belief that he had given out that he was not a candidate. In addition to this it had been reported that MT. Mor- gan was so much in favor of Miss Ma rie F. Ives being placed on the ticket in his stead that he gave place to her The friends of Col. Morgan very reluct- antly believed this to be the condition of affairs.
 They knew that MT. Morgan was in no sense a candidate, out they hoped to hear his name placed in nomination, failing in this there was nothing to do but to vote for Miss Ives. It was when the emphatic words of Col. Morgan be- fore the board of education, published in the Journal and Courier of last Sat- urday morning were read that the Col oneIs friends realized that they had been caught mapping. 1n- mediately movement was set on foot to undo the work al ready done and to place Col Morgan's name before the people, with the re- suit noted in the introduction of this article. The ticket now stands as it would have stood had the misunder- standing never found Judgment in the minds of the friends of MT. Morgan.
 The meeting last evening was called to order by Alderman Rourke, who has been active in marshaling Morgan's hosts. John E. Fitzgerald who told the electors that a new ticket was to be put in the field, nominated A. D.. Sanborn for chairman.
 John J. Hogan was named for sec- retary. He declined and Councilman Henry F. Hollis was named. Town Counsel Jacob E. Goodhart nominated Frederick A. Betts for first place on the school ticket.
 He made splendid speech in favor of his candidate.
 John r. Shanley nominated William F. Morgan The vote was taken by a division of the house, MT. Morgan re ceiving 219 votes and MT. Betts 134. Chairman Sanborn declared MT. Morgan nominated. The pent up enthusiasm which had been trying to show itself could no longer be controlled. The presence of one female voter and the frown of the chairman had no effect on the Morgan adherents Tells and cheering greeted the announcement of MT Morgans' election.
 MT Goodhart again nominated Mir. Betts This time the opposition placed Dr. O. T. Osborne in nomination. A division of the house was again called for This time tellers were not needed, as a glance showed that more than three-Quarters of the voters in the hall had heard the cry of "Betts men this way" as the leaders hastened to the side of the room at the left of the chairman.
 Terrence B. Kelly moved to make the nomination of MT. Betts unanimous
 Several voted nay on this motion, and the chairman announced MT Belts se- lected by large majority. The Betts men did the cheering this time.
 When order was restored Terrence B. Kelley was recognized. He said: MT. Chairman--We have selected two good men for places on the school ticket. l rise to name man who has been as- sociated with them for three years and who has always been found to be wor- thy of their company. He has worked arduously and constantly for the well fare of the public schools of New Ha- ven. I take pleasure. Sir, in placing before this meeting the name of James T. Moran. The name of. MT. Moran was greeted with enthusiasm.
 John E. Fitzgerald nominated Will liam J. Cronin. Frank Cafferty imme- diately withdrew MT. Cronin's name and Fitzgerald named Dr. Osborne. Again the house was divided and again tellers were unnecessary. The vote indicated a large majority for MT Moran, and the chair announced his election.
 On motion of Isaac Wolfe the meet ing endorsed the candidates already nominated for the remaining places or the ticket
 The meeting adjourned, being in ses- sion but five minutes less than the one held last evening.
 The female visitors were conspicuous by their absence, there being but one present.
 The placing of Messrs Betts and Moran on the ticket headed by Colonel Morgan simplifies the situation and The fight will be between Miss Ives and Colonel Morgan. It will be a sharp as well as a short contest, there being but three days more before election. Should the 260 female voters made this year cast their votes for Miss Ives she will receive, taking last years vote as a basis, nearly 4,00O votes. To overcome this the managers of her campaign say it will take more votes for Colonel Mor- gan than they can now count.
