ThursdaY's Work.


 The delegates to the State convention are all chosen and the gathering promises to be one of the best representative bodies of Re- publicans ever gathered in the State. The members of the party can have evelJ eoni- dence that, efter consultation, the ticket nominated will be worthy of the support of every voter in the State, Republican or Dem- ocrat, or whatever else he may be. The con- test for the e1bernato1.al nomination has been sharp and it is by no means closed as yet. While there are good many delegates pledged, either outright or tacitly, for either one Of the three gentlemen, Mayor Bulkeley, MT. Lounsbu1y or Speaker Tibbitts, it is we'll to remember that there are enough un- pledged delegates to wield a decided il an- ence in the choice. The contest has b. en a courteous end honorable one so far, the question being one of preference merely, and not of life or death of the party. Either one of the gentlemen named can be elected governor, if nominated. In this question of preference, however, Republicans of Hart ford and many Republicans from every coun- ty in the State are satisfied that Mayor Bulke- ley will be strcng, esrtainly, as either of the other candidates, and when it com. to the legislature and s1l else that must enter into the contest, perhaps stronger. As the convention approaches it seems certain that his chances for the nomination must im- prove, as his ability and availability are can- yassed

ssNoN-PARTIsAN'' TEmPERANCE.:

ssNON-PARTISANs, TEmPERANCE.s
 The anti-saloon movement in the Republi- can party is making some progress, and it's
 first national convention will be held at Chi cago on the 18th inst. Another interesting antl-saloon movement has been started in Massachusetts. There is to be ssnon- partisan" mass meeting at Worcester on the 18th, in accordance with a call signed by Rev. Drs. Mears, Dorchester and Twombly and Bradford K. Pierce of Zion's Herald, ex- Governor Clafin, Mayor Fosdick of Fitch burg, ex-Mayor Johnson of Waltham, Faxon of Quincy, and some others. The objects are Ito secure a better enforcement of the laws against the liquor saloons; to obtain legal provisions for the entire suppression of the traffic in alcoholic liquors as beverages, and the best possible representation of these principles in men occupying civil positions. ;" The invitation is expressly addressed to ''pastors and representatives of each relig ious society in the commonwealth, represent atives of all temperance organizations and all good citizens
 It is understood to be the chief purpose of this movement to get the legislature to sub- init prohibitory amendment to the popular vote. The Springfield Republican thinks that there is vast scope for reform in liquor legislation without venturing again on a system of absolute suppression which the popular sentiment is not prepared to support, and it points out what be done as fol- lows: The law can be amended so as to bear against the rumseller instead of in his favor by removing some of the absurd difficulties in the way of proving illegal sales, whether by unlicensed dealers at all hours or by licensed dealers on Sundays and after eleven o'clock at night; again, by doing away with the crackers and cheese pretense that turns a barroom into restaurant; again, by making the liquor club nuisance under the license law as it is under prohibition. Steps should be taken also to secure the enforcement of the plain provision against open bars under any and all circumstances.
 With prohibitionists, anti-saloonists and "non- partisan" temperance men at work the ''hquor interest" will have it's hands full. The people are getting thoroughly awake to the importance of this matter.

] in crowd on Broadway. He was wedged l in so tight that his feet scarcely touched the pavement. His hands were pinned to his side. He could hardly breathe, much less move. In this predicament he was discov- cred by Jake Hess In an instant Hess pro- duced his peanut with sarcastic smile. The old Frenehman struggled in vain. He was forced to nod his head in acknowledgement of the fine, which was booked with remorseless vigor.
 Five years ago MT. Vatable was spending
 hot summer day at Long Branch. Warren
 Leland persuaded him to go in swimming
 The temperature of the water was delight full. The Frenchman swam hand over hand, tried it dog and frog fashion, and finally
 turned upon his back and drifted toward
 Sandy Hook in dreamy languor. Suddenly
 he heard noise like the spouting of DOT
 boise. It was no porpoise. It was Warren Leland. His fat hand fourished peanut in the air within a foot of Vatables head,
 Warren had carried his own ivory pod in his mouth, and had swan out to Vatable with the express purpose of imposing fine. The genial Gaul exercised his usual Christian re- signation and was docked as usual.
 That night the Frenchman retired to rest filled with good cheer and virtuous resolu- tions. At midnight there was knock at his door. A telegram of unusual impor- tance was announced. The messenger was shown into the parlor. Within twenty sec- onds Vatable appeared, clad in flannel nightcap and Crittenden chemise. The telegram was produced. It was bogus. But there was nothing bogus about the peanut. That called for five dollars snd got it. The au1iahle Vatable again retired, but his cheer full temper and virtuous resolutions had van ished.
 Some years ago there was jam at the ele- vated station near Hanover square, The cars, station, stairs. street, ticket agents and conductors were full. Vatable stood at the foot of the stairs. Within two hours he reached the platform. He caught the rail ing of the hind car and moved toward Franklin square, suspended between heaven and Pearl street. The Hon. James Oliver saw his situation and whipped out his pea nut. At the same moment the conductor asked for the Frenchman's ticket. Vatable acknowledged the coin in both cases. The ticket was collected and his fine recorded.
 One day, however, he saw real trouble. A job was put up and he was robbed of his peanut by an expert pickpoeket. The news was quickly spread among the members of the club. He was waylaid at every corner. By as:provision of the bylaws, on losing his peanut no member can secure another ere the lapse of forty-eight hours. That day the club became richer by hundreds of dollars. Toward nightfall Vatable fled to Hoboken and went into exile. Two days afterward his friends paid him the amende honorable by giving him gold peanut studded with diamonds. At his death he willed it to Gas inner Thoron.
