Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-09-29

If the gentlemen who called the sin
dignation" meeting of the Second ward
democrats, to be held tonight, will &C
cept friendly advice they will do moth
ing to antagonize the success of their
party at the coming election. If they
have grievances they should frankly state
them to the town committee and abide
by the decision of that body. Nothing
is to be gained and everything may be
lost by sulking ut the hour of battle
Here's hoping that the indignation
meeting will either lack a quorum Or
will listen to the voice of reason.
