The Republican town and city caucus of the Second district, was held in Arion hall, South Norwalk, last night, and was one of the most harmonious ever held. The voters followed the example set them by their sister city, Norwalk, and in most cases renominated the same men who have faithfully served during the past year. ' The town caucus was called to order first and John E. Light was chosen chairman and W. C. Foote secretary. Mr. R. H. Rowan moved that an in- formal ballot be taken for selectman, and the chair appointed Messrs. C. N. Smith, E. W Godfrey, Matthew Cor- bett and C. W. Stowe tellers. The ballot resulted as follows: Ephraim Themes, 145 Tallmadge Baker, 31 C. W. Bell, ’ 2 Isaac Selleck, 2 J. J. Goodwin, 3 C. S. 'l‘rowbrmge, 3 On motion. the ballot was made for- mal and Mr. 'l‘homes declared nomina- ted. The balance of the ticket was com- pleted as follow»: CONSTABL‘ES. John J. Goodwin. E. J. Larrigan. GRAND JUROB. Charles F. Bullock. ASSESSOR. Charles Smith. BOARD OF BELIEF. Henry Seymour. , SCHOOL VISITOR. Charles W. Bell: AUDITOR. George F. Bearse. REGISTRAR. , Charles W. Stowe. A collection was taken up amounting to $9.28, after which the caucus ad- journed. The City Caucus. Immediately after the adjournment of the town caucus the cit-y caucus was called to order and R. H. Rowan elected chairman, and the following ticket placed in nomination: MAYOR. Andrew J. Hutchinson. CITY TREASURER. Matthew Corbett. COLLECTOR James Paul. C ITY MARSHAL. John Paul. AUDITOR. ' George F. Bearse. INSPECTOR§OF ELECTIONS. John J. Goodwin. REGISTRAR OF VOTERS. William F. Tammany. WATER COMMISSIONER. Charles S. Trowbridge. ' TREASURER F WATER FUND. Ed 11 Wilcox. ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONER. A. E. Winchester. COUNCILMEN. Stephen S. Hatch, Frank N. Ferris, Robert Pearson, George S. Kendall. ‘ Oliver E. Weed, Edgar H. Fox. CITY COMMITTEE. Joseph R. Taylor. The nominations were mostly made by acclamation, and everything ran smoothly until the nomination of councilmen was reached, when Attor- ney John H. Light suggested that as nearly the entire ticket had been re- nominated it would be a good thing to renominate the five remaining council- men, Mr. Hutchinson - having been named for mayor, by acclamation. This suggestion brought S. C. Pal- mer to his feet, who went off on his sinking fund hobby and charged that the old council had failed to obey the orders of a city meeting. He was fol- lowed by Councilman Pearson, who said that Mr. Palmer’s statement was incorrect and that the council had obeyed instructions. Als» that Mr. Palmer had repeated his false assertion so many times that he, Palmer, really believed what he stated was the truth. Mr. Pearsm sat down amid a perfect storm of applause. Charles F. Hallock next secured the floor and praised the council for their good work. He gave Mr. Palmer a scathing and was loudly applauded. Mr. Light’s motion was then adopted unanimously, thus sitting down upon Mr. Palmer, who failed to find ”a sup- porter among the many present.
