 The Town Ticket.


 Belden Was Nominated for Town
 Clerk-The Democratic City Conven-
 tion Will Be Held Tonight.
 The democratic town convention was held ill the police court room last night and was the most harmonious meeting of the kind ever held in Waterbury, every candidate nominated being the unanimous choice of the convention. Chairman Holohan of the democratic town committee called the meeting to order at S:30 o'clock. F. J. Lawlor was chosen chairman and l.. Ashaim clerk. Before some of the delegates had q chance to look around Dr keeley was on his feet and moved a recess for five minutes. The motion was car ried. On reassembling it was voted that the chair appoint a committee on credentials, consisting of one delegate from each ward The chair named the following: Frank A. Bates, Peter T.. Keeley, Edward Maloney. Daniel Shannahan and William T. Keenan.
 The committee reported all the dele gates present except w. o. Beecher of the first district, who was represented by the alternate, NJ. Bolger. The re- port Of the committee was accepted. When the chair called for nominations lOl lIlSt SelSCti1llI d NuUIuS Ol NOlccS shouted: Mortimer Dorani' No other name being mentioned it was voted to instruct the clerk to cast a 1 ballot as the sense of the convention 1 for the nomination of Mir Doran. The motion was carried and the same order obtained regarding all the other places !, to be filled on the ticket, including the l constables and grand jurors. The tick l ct is as follows:
 l For first selectman- Mortimer Doran. 1 For second selectman-William T. | Disley.
 1 For town clerk Frank P Brett. l For tax collector-William E.. 1 Thoms.
 For board of relief John J. Siefcn and John K. Healey.
 | For constables Maurice F. Carmo- 1 dy Thomas H. Pryor. Walter B. Lan- ner. and Edward J. Donahue. | For gHand jurors-John O'Nein. Mark l.. Warner and Edward l.. sFris- bic, ST.
 For town treasurer-Edward L. Tut | tle
 There seemed to be some doubt as I to whether the town treasurer holds over until January or not, but it was | thought best to make the nomination anyway and then if MT Futile holds over until the first of the year the name need not be put on the ticket I On motion of F. k. Bates, the con l vention adjourned subject to the call of the chairman of the town commit l tee.
 The republicans last night nomin- ated all their candidates for the cleo. 'tion which takes place Monday next I Former Mayor T. D. Barlow presided and George NJ. Chapman served as l secretary. As is customary the con vention was held privately, only the delegates being present. Tn the rooms adjoining the convention room which was in the republican head quarters in the Castle block on NortI Main street; was quite a crowd.
 Immediately after 8 o'clock the con vention got down to business and with out any bother George H. Cowell was nominated for mayor A committee soon had the judge in the room to of ficially notify him of his nomination and in accepting it he said that ht will be elected if the men of his party stand by him on election day. Ani here the still small voice of conscienct was heard among the crowd that lis tened to the judge, saying that tht pending election is an occasion or which sympathy and sentiment should 1 be left at home and business alone bt the motive that shall take men to tht Ipolls. For the city needs a cleal mind and steady hand at the helm fol the ensuing two years to guide i through the intricacies of consolida ton, and that though the judge is al right, his opponent. Mayor Kilduff, i' a1righter. When the judge had fin ished his address there was great ap plause and as. it was dying away John Edmondson, the well known un dertaker. entered the hall and sa down like Daniel i'll the lions den though he, Edmondson. not Daniel, ii a republican.
 The next nomination was for cit, clerk and there was a good, stiff bat tie for this between George H. Kettle ton and Clifford Els the man who i trying to get in out of the cold. Net tleton won the day and people say h, is still sweating after the scrap. Tn, vote stood 12 to 10. and when it wa declared, the undertaken. who had beer out of the room. immediately came in The coincidence was remarked b. many.
 John Meyer was nominated for cit, comptroller by exclamation. Ant again the singular coincidence of tn undertaken occurred. E. J. Steer wa selected for city comptroller Agail the undertaken. For city sheriff Vii liam J. Gillette was unanimously nom mated. Again the undertaken. wh remained in the room while the follow ing and final nominations were mak ing: For selectmen, George A Boughton and William Atkinson o Mill Plain. For town constables William M Gillette. George o. Booth Joseph M. Barrie and Joseph Provost In the nominations for constables tn unrelenting hand of Attorney Duran is seen. Constable Perkins, his ol and inveterate enemy, is to go at las1 after many years efforts to knock hir out at the elections.
 For members of the board of edr cation: Dr E. w Goodenougf
 Charles A. Chapman and T. R. Hyde
 Jr.
