Republicans Of Lincoln Are
In a Desperate Strait.
Hundreds Of Voters Lost to the
Republicans By Latest Move.
CosfIfmatlon at 81. PatrIcks Church Last
Evening Election at Cumberland.

The desperate straits 10 which the
leaders OF Lincoln Republicans are resort
ing will be certain to react upon the party
itself. The fact that they are moving, or
at least trying TO move heaven and earth
In their cndeayors To have part or the
whole OF the Independent ticket thrown
out on purely technical grounds, Ia open
ing the eyes OF great many citizens who,
heretofore, have been favorable TO the
nominees Of the Republican party. The
Independent sentiment Is growing larger
every day. The idea OF the politicians is, II
they can get the Independent ticket out of
the way, the number OF dissatisfied re-
publicans would vote the regular Re-
publican ticket rather than vote the DEM
ocratic ticket.
Chairman John d. Turner of the Re-
publican Town Committee is the prime
mover In this little game. OF course It is
well understood that he IL acting under
tho advice of the boss politician from
Saylesville, and whatever move II made is
In the interest of the aforesaid gentleman,
who will, II elected, resign as soon a. he
has accomplished certain object. It viii
make no difference whether the ticket IL
thrown out or not, for the Independents
are determined to vote any ticket that will
defeat the present manipulstors of the
towns affairs.
The Cumberland Election.
The election today thus far is one of the
most determined ever fought In the town.
The different elements centered In the
fight tends to mako 1t very complicated.
+ From careful estimate mode at 2 O'Clock
the Democratic Council ticket is"in the
lead. 1t Is conceded on all sides that
John w. Ryan of Ashton will give his
| opponent, Mr.. Carpenter terrible beating
Michael Ryan and James Hostler are sure
of an election. The real fight lies between
Hon. A. J. Currier and Mr.. Franklin with
the chases In favor of the latter. A stormy
| fight Is being waged between the support
ers of John Barnes and John Dillon. Both
men are popular and 1t will be close con.
test.
Confirmation at st. Patriek's,
A fitting ending was given to the long
days Of prayers which marked the closing
