Tomorrow is election day and all the
saloons in the, city will be closed. a Only
members Of the Council in Manchester
are to be chosen attthis election, and the
Indications are that there will be q COM.
paratively light vote poled. .-.3
{ In the Fourth Ward, where Mr.. (. r. y.
Owen is running against Assemblyman
Dick Ferguson. the heaviest vote Is ex-
pected. There are about one hundred
and ten voters In this ward and fully
eighty of these will go to- the polls .to-.
morrow. The race will be a. close one,
and the winner cannot be selected until
the sun goes down 4 Tuesday night. Mr..
Ferguson has been In the Council for
several years, and Is Very popular with
his people, for whom he has worked hard
and faithfully. Mr.. Owen was a member
of the Council from the Third Ward. and
resigned when he moved into tho Fourth
Ward. "
Il Another fight that will be. very inter-,
esting will be in the First Ward where
the race is between Mr.aNakefy,ld now,
president OF tho Assembly, and Mr.
Brown. Each candidate has a lot Of
friends. and the vote will be very. close. n
The Second Ward Will, perhaps, bring
out large vote on account Of there
being SIX candidates for the three posi-
tons Messrs. Petit, Nnnnully and
Toncy, tho latter holding tho unexpired
term Of Mr.. a. Il ]. 4 Daffron. arc now$,i In
tho municipal body, and opposed to these
three are Messrs. Gallagher. Campbell
and Welsh. Mr. Toney has been ad =
vlsed by the City Attorney that IL 10,
secures only one vote he will 4be elected
to the unexpired term of two years, for
the reason that he was the only cand-
date who filed a notice to this effect.
There will be no opposition In the
Third Ward 4, !. n

Several OF the boys are from the best
families In the city, and II Is deeply
regretted that they nre implicated In such
