 After comparing notes yesterday af- ternoon the registrars found that the number of applications to be made electors footed up ITS, divided as fol lows First ward. SIP; second ward, 29S; third ward, 364; fourth ward, 496; fifth ward, 21S; sixth ward, 30. 1t IS understood that about 80 per cent of the applicants intend to vote the demo- cratic ticket and if the coal strike con- tinues much longer the others may de eide to go with the crowd. The board of registration will be in session Ill the City hall building next Friday from 9 o'clock in the morning until s in the evening for the purpose of making electors, and eligibles should make it a point to be on hand early, for the number is so large this year it is likely some will have to remain oyer<
 The republicans want the public to. believe that the coal strike is settled, but it should be remembered that so far the coal barons have had all the say. They have named the commis- sion which puts them in the position occupied by the man who, after stating his case, claimed the right to decide who should render the decision. We all wish to see the strike settled, but it is not likely that the difference can be adjusted by concluding one of the interested parties and leaving the other to trust to luck. Let us have no politi- cal jobbery in this coal strike question. It is a. matter of business and should be tIeated as such. No temporary makeshift to tide things over until after election will satisfy the people.
 New Milford is threatened with lit igation over the result of the vote for first selectman on Monday, 9th. A. J. Barnes, the republican candidate, had 4S5 votes for first selectman and one for second place by a paster. J. Le Roy Buck, the democratic candidate, had 4S0 for first seIectman and $ votes by pastors on the second place on the ballots The moderator de- clared MT Barnes elected and the dem ocrats protested. The usual ruling has been that the person receiving the highest number of votes for first se- lectman is entitled to the office. Votes for candidate for first selectman, if
  the ballot, do not count to his credit for that office. . The salaries of the offices to be filled in the November election in this state are: FF | .-. s= Governor $4, 900 per annum.

 Thomas Kelly is managing to keer off the public streets since the coa1 strike started. For many years he has been accustomed to be on hand to sax something in support of his party al election time, but he is making it 5 point to give the reporters wide bertI this fall. Kelly should come from un der cover and help his neighbors out oi the box his party has got them into The statement that he is saving wooC on his farm in Middlebury will not b, accepted as an excuse for his absenc, from his old haunts at this time of til, year. Kelly, you had better face tn music. You are one of the crowd tha has jOllied the people into supp0rtin; the party of trusts and combines, am the only honorable course open to vol now is to come forward and assist il making amends for the political of lenses of the past by turning out tn rascals that have us by the throats an, putting honest men in their places I you don't care to do this it is you dut to tell the working people how the, can live on $1.50 a day and pay $20 ton for coal, $10 cord for wood. an saw it themselves. Never mind abou meat and other things in that line Many can go through the winter wGtl out meat, but it is difficult to find family who can live in tenemen house with the theromemter ten de grees below zero.
 The republicans held a rally in Wa fertown last night and pitched into tn democrats without gloves. One woul think by the way they slashed righ and left that the democrats had uniI terrupted control of the government c the United States from Washington the present day, and that every ill " had suffered during all these year should rightfully be charged to then Evidently MT Lilley thought there wa no use trying to hold out any longe without saying a word or two abou the meat trust. He explained his pos ton on the question by stating that h is simply a selling agent of the trus but has no money invested in it. Tn othe words, he is one of several whom tn meat trust picked out some years az fo assist in driving the Connecticu farmer out of the business of cattl raising, so that he and his childre might not be competitors of tf
