anted: An old man for governor One who has 'tclaims' preferred. Inquire at the Palladium office.
 So far as we can discover, the Democrats would rather see the Republicans nominate some other man than Mayor Bulkeley. They know that they would have great deal of trouble if he were nominated. He would make it very lively for them.
 Our esteemed contemporary, the Palla- no harm by representing" "nobody." We will not be behind the Palladium in gener- osity, and will admit that the Palladium does no harm in representing somebody.
 Governor Gray of Indiana has offered 8 reward of $1 900 for the apprehension, con viction and sentence of any person engaged, in the past or future, in taking the life of a fellow-creature without due process of law. The "due process of law" has done much to encourage lynchers.
 One of the arguments" floating around this region is that New Haven county is DO litically indebted to Fairfield county. We do not think much of such arguments, but we will remind those of our readers who do that the friends of MT. Bulkeley made Gov ernor Harrison's nomination possible.
 It strikes the Bridgeport Standard that the strongest candidate for governor will be the man whom the most Republicans in New Haven county, in conjunction with major ity of the Republicans of the other counties of the State, prefer. This is at least partly true. And we should like to see free ex- pression of opinion concerning the matter. Many Republicans in this county enthusias- tically prefer Hartford's popular and efficient mayor.
 The outlook for trade this fall is good. The balance of foreign trade is in our favor. The total valuation of breadstuffs, provis- ions, cotton and petroleum exported from May to July inclusive is twenty -four millions larger than for the corresponding time last year and more than fourteen millions larger than in 1884. European gold is coming in this direction, and, except in few instances. there are no excessive and burdensome stocks of goods on hand to depress the market.
 A Camden, New Jersey, man has invented and is having built an ocean tricycle.. It will be made entirely of iron and steel, ex- cept small platform where the operator will stand. The wheels will be eight feet in diameter and will be worked with levers from the platform, which will be twenty seven feet from the ground. The idea is to run this machine out to stranded vessels when they lie in water not over twenty feet deep. The inventor says that three miles an hour can be made with the tricycle.. The failure of the French cooperative societies, which the late Michel Chevalier used to attribute to incompetent managers, has been again evidenced, says the Paris core spondent of the London Times. A fund of 125, ,000 francs, bequeathed seven years ago 1 by M. Rampal to the Paris municipality for loans to cooperative societies, whether producing or consuming, has been in three years reduced by one third. zzoeH -ae forty seven societies to which money was advanced, | a credit society has wasted 10000 francs; and out of forty-four producing societies only fourteen are solvent. Jewellers, car penters, house painters, matters, printers, 1 and oabinetmakers are all unable to repay 1 the loans. The two consumers societies are l alonetiourishing
