It was currently reported in the sec
ond ward that the campaign has cost
Mr. Lilley $4,000
In the west end Of the second ward
there was quite demand for Ken
nedy, Morse and Cummings pastors.
This was one Of the few election /
days people see when a man could /
take Off his coat and hustle for friend
without fear Of catching cold.
There were many requests for Cum
mings' pastors in the first ward. 1t i
was impossible to get one and not un-
a late III tie forenoon was it ascer-
tanned that they could be found at the
Western Union telegraph office.
The democratic ticket with Lilley's
paster was employed in the second !
ward to some extent apparently. One
of the men who peddled it came near
getting himself into trouble with ma
rhinist.

Attorney james, M. Sullivan OF New
Haven, who spoke for the democrats
n City hall last night, said to-day that
such service as he had rendered his
party in this campaign was given
yratuitously, and that he regretted
very much that it was not in his power
% do more.
Half a dozen democrats in the third
ward lost their votes by not getting
lround early When they presented
themselves at the booth they found
some one else had voted on their
names. One of them was a demo-
