Much Interest in To-Nisht'S Struggle

 sharp Work on Hand.
 The primaries will be held tu- day from to $ r. III. Much interest has developed ill the various matters involved, especially ill the con"ressional contest, and il iS likely that one of the largest votes ever cast at democratic primary election ill this city will be recorded tonight. A desperate effort is being made by the anti Plgott faction to carry the primaries against him, and every conceivable method Is being adopted to accomplish this pur- pose. Ananias Troup, i'll all the glory of u clean collar, drifted into town last even ing with the rain and immediately went to Miles Conno.ly's store on South Main stre where these 1.-two of klnd" were soon deep in plotting Pigott's downfall How do Waterbury democrats like to have their primaries run by this New Haven politician He is n man who has been false to every friend he ever had. n traitor to every cause he ever espoused, a coward who never had the manhood to meet his antagonist openly and fairly. Some years ago he blew into New Haven on his uppers without even carpet-bag he could call his own, and through the influence of politicians who had schemes to push he got standing in politics that has since brought much grist to his pocket Ill his own words, he ''cares for nobody but Troup," and goes ''the whole hog or none every time.' When the greenback and workingmen dodges Were played out and the republican bosses had no further use for him he tlopped over to the democratic party and succeeded i'll demoralizing the party in New Haven on more than one oc- casion. The democrats of Waterbury should dress this hog so clean that he will never again show his hungry and un- clean snout at Waterbury primary, and they can do it if they vote right at the primaries this afternoon and evening.
 There are two tickets in the field in each ward, and the packers of both are conf dent of success. A mistake was made by the town committee in calling both the state and local primaries at this time. In no other city or town in Connecticut is this done. There is danger of opposing factions in the race for state honors en- dangering the success of the city and town elections and vice versa. Whether the double headed system inaugurated here will work an injury to the party remains to be seen. The fight here will be mainly for the congressional delegation. The opposition to Pigott is composed of Miles r. Connolly, pr Neville, the Messrs Fruin, and as a matter of course, James F. Dolan. The Connolly opposition is made more bitter because of the loss of 8 ,000 which it had been reported the Hon Carlos French was to hand over to Connolly in the event of his renomination. Seeing the glittering gold slipping from his grasp Miles pooled issues with Troup of New Haven, whose claims on the workingman were busted by the New Haven typographical union, who expelled him from its ranks recently Troup and Connolly are the big and little of it. and the two are working and will resort to any means to gain their point. Connolly will personally supervise the election in the fourth ward Dr Neville will probabiv draw the wires ill the first; the Messrs Fruin i'll the second, and Dolnn and Dan Mahoney in the third. The opposition are taking things easy, and if defeated it will be because of over confidence Thomas Moran is conducting the canvass of the first ward; Thomas H. Hayes, James F. Russell and others are working in the second, James Horrigan and John Me Aulitfe in the third, and James Coughlin, Richard phalen, John Thompson and n dozen others will watch the fourth ward and see that the ballot box is not stuffed and the check list spirited away as on former occasion.
