FAIR HAVEN NEWS.

There was considerable interest ex- pressed last evening in the borough caucus to be held at the engine house in East Grand avenue this evening at 8 o'clock. This caucus is to nominate officers of the borough of Fair Haven East for another year, the election to be held next Monday. A good deal of gossip was rife about the ticket that will be put up. One report was to the effect that the Ludington-Ryan com bination would make new slate, nom- mating George K Clark for warden and renominating only one of the pres |ent burgesses, but retaining Clerk Averill and Tax Collector Blake on the ticket. The usual course is to have the chairman of the caucus nominate a committee of three, who shall present a ticket to the caucus. So the great strife tonight will be in selecting the chairman, and it was stated last night that if the ticket put up does not suit, an opposition ticket will be put in the field for next Monday. It is very sell dom that there are two tickets nomi- mated, for the citizens ticket is usually recognized as representatives or the wishes of the electors It is quite prob able that there will be large atttend- ance at the borough caucus this even ing.
