THE BALLOTS SILENT VOICE
WILL TO-DAY NAME TOWN And CITY
OFFICERS FOR NEXT YEAR.

The Three Political Organizations Each
COnfldent-Hard Work on the Part of
Candidates General Impression is That
Contest for the Mayoralty is Between
Farnsworth and Bradley.
Municipal and town officers will be
chosen to-day by the electors of the
city and the town of New Haven. The
final struggle of the campaign will be
begun this morning at 6 o'clock with
the opening of the polls in the various
wards, and it will be sturdily fought
until the ballot boxes are closed.
Last night Sat the headquarters of
each of the three contending parties
there seemed to be the utmost conf
dence.
Chairman Pardee of the gold demo-
cratic-good government coalition, said:
IF the men who have visited my Of
flee this evening are not entirely mis-
led we shall elect General Bradley by a
handsome majority. The names of the
men-if could divulge them-who are
doing their utmost to elect our candi-
date would surprise you.
Neither the republicans nor the sill
yer men appreciate the fact that we are
thoroughly organized" continued Mr..
Pardee.
II have no figures to give out, but
we are in the fight to win, with more
than a fair chance to do so.'
! r.
be an interesting query on Wednesday
morning" was the reply of one of the
best informed republicans when the
national democrats roseate views were
impaired to him.
| 1--WE are sure of electing our whole
ticket continued the confident repub-
lican. There is a little restlessness
among some of the boys, I admit, but
we are going to win. Tomorrow morn
ing when you visit the polls you will
| find every man at his post. The re-
publican party expects every man to
do his duty and there is no doubt as
to the result. The next mayor of New
Haven will not be General E. E. Brad
ley"
Chairman James H. Macdonald was
seen at his office last evening. He said
This campaign presents some new
aspects, but every campaign presents
new features. It is practically the
same as we have met before with a few
new features. The republican party is
not only standing on the platform of
| good government, but we are pledged
to good government, and what is bet
ter than promises, the record of the
| party in it's administration shows that
/ we have given to the people since we
have been in power a good, clean, hon
est, economical and wholesome gov
ernment.
|. when DR.. Smyth presented his COM
munication from the Good Government
club to the republican city convention
and it was placed on file, the best in
dorsement which we could give that
communication, in the cause for which
he has worked so zealously, was to
give him the candidates we have pre-
sented for the considerat ton Of the vot-
ers tomorrow on the city and town
tickets.
"As a citizen of New Haven, and
deeply interested in it's welfare, l can
| conscientiously indorse every man on
the ticket as being a good citizen and
a capable and worthy man for the po-
sition for which he was named by the
republican party. If a good admins
tration, careful and clean, and in the
interests of the taxpayer, is not worthy
of Endorsement, I do not know what
policy the republican party can pur-
sue.
Il still think that the people will look
at this matter in it's proper light and
reach the conclusion which is, in my
judgment. the only one they can reach,
that our ticket is worthy of their sup
port.
IF our party comes out and does it's
duty tomorrow, we shall elect the
whole ticket, both city and town"
The silver men claimed Hewitt's elec-
ton last evening. They based their
calculations on the report that $500
republicans would vote for Bradley.
