l The supreme court of the State has so de-
 cided; and the present governor, in or out
 of power, will hardly launch out any more "Citizen's" parties from his private office.
 This is slap in the face to petty political
 trickery, that will be heard along the
 lines of the future. But the envelope nui-
 sance must go and the genuine Australian
 measure must come, the Hartford Times, l Lynde Harrison and all the other hypo-
 critics, tricksters and corruptionists to the
 contrary notwithstanding.
 The Republican State central committee
 held meeting at the Allyn House, Tuesday
 evening. All the Republican candidates
 on the State ticket are said to have been
 present with the exception of Farmer Bow
 en, who seems to have an aversion to the
 company he was thrown into. He is there
 as representative of the farmer alone,
 and evidently discerns a difference between
 the honest hnsbandman and the willy poli-
 tician. But Lynde Harrison was there
 'just the same" which makes up for the
 absence of any half dozen where there is
 engineering to be done. Report sayeth
 not that the old man of the s'Times" was present, although himself and Lynde were ardent associates at the meeting where the present bastard secret ballot bill was con- cocted to supercede the genuine. Perhaps they will see each other later.
 There will be a meeting in Allyn Hall this Friday) evening, in aid of the "Irish frauded and oppressed people of Ireland need help when the potato crop goes back on them, for all the other products of the island must go to pay for the labor of the men who kindly made the land for the po- tato eaters to live on. The men engineer ing this ''plan of campaign"are philanthropy ists-of very long range-they never bother with famine or the fear of famine at their own doors For instance they never call meetings or place their check books on re- cord when poor cloak-makers revolt against an ever abiding famine, or railway men against enforced idleness which means the same thing. Still we hope the philantropic gentlemen will contribute freely. Some of them can we'll afford to. and they got their money easily. Others must he satis- fed with contributing their sympathy-'tis all they have been permitted to retain.
 The gentlemen of the Democratic State committee having charge of the oratorical part of the campaign, met Thursday to lay out their plan of action. Some of the best available Democratic talent of the country are promised to illuminate the minds of the Connecticut workers as to the mighty issue of the campaign and their especial interests involved. They will denounce the robber tariff and the consequent Trust, saying nothing, however, of the existence of the same industrial hog in free-trade England. The force bill' will too be excoriated, but not word said of the conditions that force the worker into the meanest of habi- tations as sstenant at will" while the idler revels in luxury in his mansion, the tenant as his serf, But the poor innocent worker will applaud, all the same; it never coming into his mind to once ask his instructor, ''what's to prevent the Trust from raising the price of it's commodities and absorb all that lower tariff might save us a'' Such questions as that might spoil the show, and hat would not be fair to the men making the investment.
