Yesterday the republicans elected
their entire state ticket. New Haven
went wholly republican. Rollin S.
Woodruff will be the next senator from
this district, and the two republican
candidates for representative, Minotte
Z. Chatfield and Lieutenant Theodore
Gruener, have been elected. Judge
Cleaveland has been reelected judge of
probate. N. D. Sperry goes back to
congress for his fifth term. Albert B.
Durham is reelected sheriff.
Election day was day of autumnal
loveliness. The sun broke through a
clear sky and it's beams danced caress-
ingly in balmy atmosphere. Every
where nature was smiling at the
millions of freemen expressing their
political opinion through the ballot box.
In this city it was the same as every
where. Ideal republican weather per-
vaded the day. The voting was excep-
tionally heavy; in some of the wards
half the registry list was checked at II
o'clock. Hacks started rafting over
the pavements early in the morning,
The ward workers were busy routing
voters out of bed, so that those whose
residence was far from their places of
business, in shops and factories, would
not fail to exercise their privileges as
citizens.
The republican managers early show
ed the superiority of their organization
over the opposing party. Every known
republican was checked off and solicited
to vote as early as possible, thus allow
ing the latter part of the day to be de-
voted to searching out and securing the
votes of the doubtful and apathetic
ones. At all the voting places much
activity was manifested and the paster
peddlers were busy. Mckerness, the
labor-economic candidate. lost many
votes because of lack of pastors at
many Of the polling places.
N. d. Sperry's interests We're careful
ly guarded and looked after. Every en-
ergy was bent by the republicans in
securing every possible vote for the
e+a rs yr+ @
deavors seemed to thoroughly salts
fly the managers last evening. Dun
ham ran well in this town, as did also
Woodruff. George Lilley's canvass was
exceptionally thorough in this city.
Colonel Woodruff made an exception
ally strong run, defeating Senator
James P. Bree by a handsome majority
Minotte Chatfield defeated J. B. Dono-
van and Joseph J. Reilly takes his cap
off to Lieutenant Theodore Gruener,
his successful opponent. The only re-
suit that was for moment in doubt
was that of judge of probate. Early in
the evening it looked for a time as if
Samuel A. York would pull through but
as the returns kept coming in it was
more and more favorable for Cieave-
land Thus the republicans elected
their entire ticket and this morning
the democrats know just what the large
silent vote meant.
There was large crowd assembled at
republican and democratic headquar-
tiers last night, also at the polling place
of the First ward, where the official re-
turns were being counted. Early in the
evening Jerome Donovan conceded his
defeat. The telephones in the news
paper offices were kept continuously
busy and the girls in the central station
were worked to the point Of nervous
ness. All during the night there was
continuous buzz on the wires until the
final result was announced. Full re-
turns will be found on another page
