 The republicans will meet in their headquarters, Castle block, tonight, to nominate candidates for the several of fees to be voted for at the coming election.
 Peter B. Reeves was for few years the capable chairman of the demo cratic town committee. He is man to be trusted in any position. and the democrats of the first should turn out and elect him to the aldermanic board next Monday.
 Leo c. Herr has q host of friends all over town as we'll as in the first ward. where he is candidate for alderman. Mir Herr is going to make hustling canvass and his friends predict his election He will make a valuable member of the board
 Alderman James r. Morris is in the race for the democratic nomination as candidate for city treasurer. This makes four aspirants for the position, the present incumbent. George \. Gib- son. E. l.. Futile, J. I. Mcdonald and MT Morris. They are all good men.
 The democratic candidates for al- dermen in the First ward are well known and worthy men. They are going to make hustle for election in this republican ward. Last year the democrats had only one representative from the First, but if the voters of the ward do their duty this time there should be three.
 The democrats of the third ward are figuring on getting a representative on the aldermanic board this year. Three good men have been nominated and if the voters only do their duty the in- coming administration will have q democratic majority in the board of al dermen- The democratic candidates in the third ward are William 1T. Disley, William A. Johnson and Stanley ". Francis.
 rT-hCra- OsnonneTI fha third nama on the democratic aldermanic ticket from the first ward, has been q resi- dent of Waterbury so long that nearly every one in the city knows him. and they know him to be q man of excel lent character and one that always full fills any obligation entrusted to him in q capable manner. He should be elect ed by a good majority, and his friends are already making q spirited canvass.
 According to reports coming almost directly from republican headquarters, Judge George H Cowell will be the candidate of his party for the mayor alty. The nomination was offered to him this morning ant. the judge prac- ticalIy accepted it. The object ill se- lecting the judge for standard bearer of his party was. in the first place. be- cause uE WAS GU0StuGTeu SIEDIlEeI llIn cess in local politics, and, secondly. be- cause he was considered stronger than either Ralph N. Blakeslee or Otis :. Northrop. Republicans say that the judge will hold his own in the city, and as a magnet for the farmer vote fin the new limits of Greater Water bury there is none in his party that can draw better. The republicans are truly hard up for a candidate when they find it necessary to take the nom ination in their pocket and search the highways and byways for a man with courage enough to face the battle which takes place a week from today. By offering himself as the inevitable sacrifice in this election. the judge places his party under obligation to him. That is said to be his particular reason in consenting to face a certain defeat. There is not a republican in the city to-day who can defeat Mayor Kilduff.
