that the republican party of the state, whose
candidate he is, asks for him. He wants no
qubbling about it; no evasions or suppressions
nothing but an honest declaration of the hon
est truth. 1t a majority Of the voters of Connee-
ticut have, in legal manner, sgniied their
choice of Gov. English, no man in the state
would more cordially acquiesce in that result.
or more gracefully defer to the PEOPLES choice,

The Windham County Transcript, in closing
an article on the Boston, Hartford and Erie
road, says: "The first work to be done after the
assignees and trustees get possession is to carry
out the plan already made by the receivers for
finishing the open link between Putnam and
Willimantic, so as to prepare, as soon as posi-
BILE, for the new Boston and New York route by
the Connecticut Air Line connection. The ques-
ton of completing the west end of the road be-
tween Hartford and Fishkill will probably be
indefinitely adjourned But so much work is
done upon it now, and such is the spirit for null
tiplying railroads, even in New England, that IT
can hardly be said TO be altogether abandoned"
The Hartford excitement over the chief of po-
lice continues The Norwich Bulletin says:
"The Hartford people can count upon it that if
ever again a woman happens to be so situated
in relation to him, that the way seems open for
base proposal, he will not take advantage of
it to write hers criminal letter-unless he knows
his woman. Yet, although he may be well as
sured of this, there are people in Hartford who
loudly demand the removal of the chief, which
shows that thorough probity sin finds some
who prefer it to general good reputation, with
tendency now and then TO corruption on the
sly" The Springfield Republican says: "Chief
of Police Chamberlin, of Hartford, by his own
confession, stands convicted of writing letters
making indecent proposals in the most indecent
language to woman who happened TO come
into his power. Why he isn't kicked out of
office at once, is more than we can comprehend.
| The revelations will not surprise any one who
has been conversant with the Hartford police
| department, as his disgraceful amours have
long made him notorious with police officers, il
not with the public"
RHODE ISLAND.
A Rhode Island paper says; The Boston,
| Hartford and Erie railroad, as now run, is re-
| ported not to meet its expenses. If by this is
meant 10 include the expenses of its various lit
cations, we are not surprised. The Woonsocket
division is doing good business.
| The Woonsocket Patriot says:-"Edwin Cap.
ron, of Cenuedae, was in our office on Tues
day, and described Woonsocket as it was when
he was a boy, in 1906 He then came here to
the James Arnold grist mill, which was the only
building then in Woonsocket with the eXcep-
ton Of three dwelling houses"
At Providence, on the Goth, another trial to
elect the balance of the representative ticket was
only partially successful. David Ballou, the
first on the list of republican nominations, who
was unsuccessful at both of the former trials is
now elected by majority of $50; but Stephen
Waterman, the second candidate lacked thirty.
