in the face Of all opposition, We find 1t IN the
fact that the corner stone is laid In devotion to
the rights Of Its people and sympathy with all
things which tend to the advancement OF their
welfare and happiness Though heresy may
sometimes have crept into its organization,
and though party conduct may at times have
been Influenced by the stiffness which is the
habituai device OF its opponents, there has al.
ways remained deeply imbedded in Its nature
and character that spirit OF true Americanism
and that love Of popular rights which has
made 1t indestructible in disaster and defeat
and has constituted it q boon to its country in
its time OF triumph and supremacy. The
great founder OF the party, as he consecrated
himself by q solemn oath to the faithful per
formance OF the dutcs Of the Presidential
Office, and pledged himself to the preserya

ANOTHER PROTEST

Against Spending Money For Court
 Purposes.
 The question to be decided at the town meeting called for next Tuesday evening is one of interest to every taxpayer and should be carefully considered. A sub- scriber who is opposed to expendine money for such a purpose writes as fol lows:
 Taxpayers and Citizens of Waterbury: You are called upon by the authorized parties in power to march up to the polls on Tuesday next and vote to tax yourselves little more money in addi. tion to the thirty mills tax which I am told will be the sum called for in the spring of 1890. Now then if our city hall-erected at an enormous expense and for the purpose in view of filling all the requirements of the county and superior court-is not large enough to accommodate those who wish to attend all of these trials, why let them and the lawyers-by the way, these are the only ones who derive any benefit from this-build one at their own expense to suit themselves, and not keep up a continual racket about lack of accommodations. If this was likely to be the last call upon the public one might be willing to overlook 1t, but 1t seems to be one of the never ending kind. The last election sort of knocked out few aspirants, who de, sired to be feeders at the public crib. Now then, here is another chance to set them back. If we are to do anything in the way of voting for an increase of taxes, for heavens sake let us vote the money where it will do the greatest good to the greatest number of people, and not for the support of a very few. This is truly democratic and as it should be. No matter if the lawyers are in favor of adjourning the courts to New Haven-by the way that was rather transparent to one who thinks little. Don't forget the re- quirements of the city first, then if there is anything left-which is very doubtful-why help those who most need it. AN ADMIRER.

PERJURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 2s 1889
PosroFFICE CANDIDATES
Colonel Doherty or Frank B. Field Will Succeed MT Commerford.

Colonel Doherty or Frank B. Field Will Succeed MT Commerford. The New Haven News sizes up the sit uation here in regard to the postoffice, as follows:
 Colonel Dohertys success as a politi- clan has been remarkable. He was nomi- 1 hated by the republicans as forlorn hope candidate for second selectman and
 was elected easily. After years prac- 1 tical training he ran for first selectman
 and was again elected. He held the
 position for two years and might have
 been in office to-day had he desired. In
 fact, the party leaders begged, implored | ar almost insisted that he should again
 lead on the forces at the recent election.
 The handsome colonel in his usual suave,
 but determined, manner declined and without hesitation announced that he | was stripped for the postoffice race and | was in to win. And, by way of post
 script, the colonel delighted his friends
 and cast damper upon his rivals, by
 intimating that, fguratively speaking,
 he carried the postoffice key in his pock-
 ct. Those in position to know declare
 that the colonel has Senator Platt and H.
 Wales Lines of Meriden on his side and it is certain that he has the backing of
 the younger element of his party here.
 With such support his chances are cer-
 tainly the best of any candidate already
 announced.
 Frank B. Field, candidate number two, is as different from Colonel Doherty as chalk is from cheese. He is
 a republican of the deepest dye, sharp, shrewd and uncompromising. If MT Field should receive his commission as
 postmaster every democrat in the office would be open for engagement, and the nf Ion In fr,, k~>.l Many of the old-timers who are jealous of Colonel Doherty-whomt they term a stripling- for Field.
 John w. Hill, who was bounced by the Cleveland administration to make room for c. c. Commerford, is another candidate. No one knew Mir Hill was on the warpath until couple of weeks ago, when he announced through the local papers that he was in the hands of his friends, and would accept the position as compromise candidate.
 MT Hill is altogether too slow for the position, and during his administration the wheels were kept moving through the efforts of the head clerk. Mir Hill is good republican worker, but the post office is not his.
 Postmaster CommerfOrd will step down and out "When the spring time comes, gentle Annie." Under his ad- ministration the business of the office has largely increased, and his successor may discover that the position is not such fat one after all. Postmaster Commerford has his peculiarities, and is dead and almost buried politically. But with all his faults he is not afraid to work. Almost any day he can be seen, broom in hand, sweeping out the office lobby, his high hat and glasses and inn perial goatee catching the strangers eye every time.
 Think of the handsome Colonel Doherty sweeping out the Waterbury postofice. sPreposterous

Its organization, is entirely content with tho

ended before our congress dies. If could

dependent upon the affirmative vote Of tho
people. This vote was not secured and tho
new county not organized. An action was
originally brought to restrain the treasurer Of

proposed new county. The district court re-.
fused to restrain, and that decision is now af-
hrmed by the supreme court and Stanton
county is wiped out for good.

frightfully mangled. Cosgrove was pursued
and arrested. He is hopelessy insane. In his

but his second victim, il there be one, has not
