 nor smith-PersOnaI JOttings.
 Although the political excitement has been less preceding this election than in years. there was considerable doing yesterday and the day before, making final preparations for the battle of the ballots. Local ward workers were pleased yesterday over the prediction that to-day would bring fine weather, for this is matter of no little interest to the workers in the wards. In the Eleventh senatorial district of which the Eleventh ward is a part, friends of Joseph O'Brien, the republican candi- date, or many of them, felt confident last night of his election, and others said that at the least calculation, the Shanley majority of two years ago would be whittled down. On the other hand, the friends of John Shanley, the democratic candidate, said that he would be elected In the Twelfth ward Frank Butterworth is the republican candidate for senator, this being in the Eighth district, and while the ward will not go republican, it is predicted that Butterworth will get a good vote and his election is believed to be pretty sure. Henry Donovan is the democrat ic candidate in that district Two re- publican candidates for justice of the peace residing in Fair Haven are Ern- est IA. Averill and George w. Rowe About 3OOOO pieces of extra mail mat ter, mostly ballots and pastors, were sent out from station A yesterday al- most enough to be used in the entire city election and two extra carriers were employed. The rush of business reminded the carriers of the holidays which are coming along apaee. Among the local candidates the ticket III the | Eleventh ward includes Richard R. | Miller for alderman and Thomas H. Keleher the democratic candidate.
