Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-10-04

The annual town election which was held here yesterday resulted in a handsome victory for the democrats. They won everything in sight and to make things better they were helped by electors who feel dissatisfied with the conduct of the powers that be and took this means of showing their dis approval of certain men and their methods. Although there was not much at stake still considerable inter- est was centered in the result, espec- ially by the leaders of the two great political parties, the opinion being pretty general that the vote would foreshow what might reasonably be looked for next November The re- pubIicans made great effort to rally their forces, but the rank and file re- fused to enthuse and left the party and it's leaders to the tender mercie5 of the opposition, who, though fighting from outside the breasworks, soon mustered sufficient strength to appall the occupants of the garrison and when the smoke of the battle cleared away, the enemy, who was in full possession of the different stronghoIds at the opening of hostilities had been dislodged and scattered in great com fusion. as.ses s8s..9f
 B. R. Perkins was dropped from the list of constables and Charles H. Blake, candidate for selectman, fell by, the way. MT Perkins and MT Blake were the objects of attack by disgruntled clements in their own party and suffered more from hot shot poured into them from the republican camp than from any other source. The polling was not heavy, only 3,099 voting out of total registration of nearly 10000. The result of the vote was as follows:

1AO4 Summary by .Counties.

Tn New Haven county the demo- crats show net gain of two towns. The republicans also lost the town of Hamden to the fusionists, a peoples and a frh5ionist ticket having combin- ed against the regular republican tick ct. The advocates of license gained one town, Bethany and Cheshire changing their votes from no license to license, and Guilford reversing it's license permission to one year of ab- stinence this year.
 Tn Wallingford the question of school consolidation was voted upon this year. but it was overwhelmingly defeated.
 Tn GuiIford Ralph Parker, who has twice been defeated as candidate for selectman on the republican tick ct, won cue yesterday on his third trial by 98 majority, while the rest of his ticket received an average ma jority of 145.
 IAt Madison a peculiar situation de yeloped, which, it is believed, will have to be strengthened out by law, yers. and a new election will in all probability be held. The trouble was caused by the democratic ticket, which had a place printed thereon for town treasurer. This is not the year to vote for treasurer. When the error was discovered the democrats put new tickets in the field, but only thirty of the legal tickets were depos- ited in the balot box. The riepubli- cans, therefore, secured about every office they could under the law. Their ticket, however, has been protested on the ground that in voting for members of the school committee no designa- ton was made as to who would serve for three years. The protest, which was made by John Scranton, was not ed and it will probably be necessary to have the tangle straightened out by the courts. Tn another place trus- tee On the republican ticket was being wA*ad for from three places. This was

The British legation is of the opinion that thefe is no cause for anxiety. This opinion is confirmed by Bishop Xavier of the French Catholic mission, who is exceptionally well acquainted with the Chinese. A dispatch from Shanghai September 27, said that the Shotuan boxers were openly distributing pros. pectuses couched in the same languag ge as those circulated before the uprising of 1900. These prospectuses fixed Oc- tober IT next as the date for the ex- termination of all foreigners.

AT ADAMs,s HOME.

Cromwell, Oct 4.--In Cromwell the proceedings were enlivened by tue ar rest of Third Selectman Arthur H. Boardman on the charge of assault and breach of the peace. The trouble is said to have grown out of the all legged interference of Matthew Gaff,.ey with the vote of his father. Gaffney was discussing with his father about the manner in which the latter should vote when Boardman stepped up and took part in the discussion. Hot words were passed and the arrest of Board. man followed.

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

Granby, which voted license in 1903 by 140 to 113, gives a majority of only 2 this year.
 In Plainville, where Rev MT Clarke has been working strenuously against license, the majority for license is double that of last year. The vote this year is 30S for license, 216 against majority of 92. Last year the ma jority was 47.
 Bristol cast the largest license vote in its history, the majority there being 518. Last year 1t was 5O4.
 Berlin joins the license column by a majority of 106. The vote last year was 258 to PAS in favor of no license.

 There was no foundation for the scare regarding the strength of the no license vote, although you couldn't make some folks believe up to the time the result was announced but that the cold water men had carried the day. What shock it would be if the town voted no license 1t would be big boom for Naugatuck and oth- CT nearby towns where the stuff could be had without risk of running counter with the law.
 Ut isn't the defeat but the apathy shown by republicans that surprised me-" said one of the republican work CTS last night when he heard the re- suit of the voting contest Fellows that had right to be out working re- fused to leave their benches. even to vote, and many Swho were about town could not be got to the polls." This is the feeling around among republi- cans, although the workers have been prodding them day and night for the past three months. It seems the can wasting has been overdone. The com. mon folks, the plain people draw the line at strangers knocking at their doors every other day and thrusting themselves and their counsel upon them. The average citizen knows how to vote and 1t looks as if there will be whole lot of independent voting done next November which will not help the republican party.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Prohibition Candidate Will Soon
 Speak in Waterbury.

A1S Pionlolliou party VIII nOlQ US first rally in this city in the City hall on Thursday evening, October 13. Among the speakers will be Dr Silas Q. Swallow, prohibition candidate for president, better known as .sthe fight ing parson." Other speakers will be Oliver G. Beard of Huntington. candi- date for governor; Emil L. G. Hohen- ! tai, state chairman, and the Rev Os- car Haywood of this city, who will preside at the meeting.
 The official cote in the recent Maine election Is announced: Cobb, r, 76,- 591; Davis, d, 49,791; Woodbury, pro. z.Ioo; Hapgood, SOC, 1,576; scattering, IS; total, 13O, 732. These figures show plurality of only 26,SOO for the re- publican candidate.
 Having lost their all in the town election, the republicans are now en- deavoring to make good for the No vember contest. They will hold rally in Poli's theater Saturday night. when the Hon William M. Moody. at- torney general of the United States will have something to say on na- tlonal issues from a republican standpoint.
 The "split ticket' program in the states of New York and Wisconsin is likely to cause considerable confusion on election day, and possibly may lead to some unexpected results. Tn both states the proposition Is for republi- cans to vote the republican electoral ticket and the democratic state ticket. The program has not been definitely framed in Wisconsin yet, but latest information from that state IS to the effect that it is tending that way.
 Thomas E. Watson's candidacy for the presidency on the populist ticket was attacked, Friday, by the demo- cratic managers In a circular which practically accused Mr Watson of be- ing tool of the republican party. George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the republican national committee, was asked if 1t was true that the republi. cans were taking care of MT Watson. MT Watson seems to be very we'll able to take care of himself" was MT Cortelyou's response.
 The chairman of the William S. Devery association has resigned, re- marking by the way of explanation: T resigned because I thought Bill had got to the end of his dream That's 'all." When the reporters asked "Bill" about 1t he pondered a good while and said: II tell you, sport, Stewart Is one of them wind puddin' and air sauce fellers. He wants to get fat without stirrin' the pot When it comes his turn to go down in his jeans, why, he hereby resigns to take effect immediately"
 Colonel John F. Finerty Of Chicago, a we'll known Irish Journalist, lectur- CT and politician, has bolted the re- publican ticket and has announced his intention to support Alton B. Parker. Colonel Finerty is president of the United Irish league of the United States, of which organization Patrick Egan, former minister to Chili, is vice. president. Egan is an ardent Roose- velt man. The cause of Colonel Finer tvs bolt is his. disapproval of Presi- dent Roosevelt's imperfaiistic tenden- cies. He will take the stump.
