POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
The lion James ". Hyatt of NorwHlk
 Willing to be Governor


 A dispatch to the Courant to-day says: The Hon James w. Hyatt of Nor walk, United States treasurer during President Cleveland'S administration, has consented to become candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. The news became generally known late this afternoon and made quite cOmmo- tion in political circles. While Mir Hyatt does not seek the office, his friends believe that he will prove a most formidable opponent with more than a fighting chance of success. They say that at least four counties in the state will give him more than 90 per cent of their votes at the coming convention, while Fairfield county will be unani- nous in his support.
 A correspondent of the New Haven News writes: On March next Orville II. Piatt's second term as senator will expire. To-day he is the most popular republican in Connecticut and if the complexion of the incoming legislature is republican he will be elected to a third term by exclamation. MesSrS Bulkeley and Fessenden are well aware of this, hence the coucoction of scheme to de- feat Mir Platt. According to the plan laid out neither Bulkeley nor Fessenden will take an active part ill the coming campaign. Their lieutenantS, however, will be scattered all over the state and they will be expected to work diligently, especially those employed by Bulkeley, to secure democratic legislature. If the plan Is successful, of course Mir Platt will be laid aside permanently and a democrat will go to Washington in his stead. Two years hence a successor to Mir Hawley will be chosen. At that time Mir Bulkeley will come forward and offer 10 re- deem the state, provided he is given the senatorship for his trouble. It Is natural to suppose that his offer will be accepted. Four years from that time the term of the democrat who was elect ed to succeed Mir Platt will expire. It is expected that another republican legis- lature will be elected and then Mir Fes- senden, who has been quietly assisting the Bulkeley intriguers, will step for ward and claim and receive his reward.
 Miles F. Connolly is in a white heat ever an item Tn these columns yesterday in relation to widely circulated rumor that he was preparing a split ticket to run at the October elections. He claims that he was misrepresented and placed before the public in a false position. On the other band the reporter who in- terviewed Connolly maintains that there was no misrepresentation. Connolly did not come out t1at-footed as dyed-in- the wool democrat would have done, and denounce the rumor but on the contrary he led the reporter to believe that he knew more about the matter than he was willing to tell. Connolly was beaten in a fair and square fight, and treachery at this time would but drive him deeper into the political mire.
 The democratic county convention will be held this evening at o'clock, in the police court room.

Nearly Three Hundred New Pupils
 at the Parochial school.
 The public schools and St Mary's parochial school opened for the fall term this morning, and from the reports the attendance is larger than ever. It is always difficult to secure the full report the first day of the opening, and at noon Superintendent Crosby did not know the exact number of pupils whe had re- ported. He said the schools were quite full, however.
 At St Mary's school everything looked bright and cheerful, and the sisters and Father O'Donnell were kept busy. Nearly 300 new pupils applied for ad- mission, and all will be accommodated. The pupils of the school attended mass at the church of the Immaculate Con- ception this morning. The mass was said by the Rev Father Mulcahy, who gave the children some wise advice.

 BRIDGEPORT, Sept 9,-Patrick Kelly, the grocer and saloon keeper in the north end of the town, who was stabbed in the neck by James Gatfney late Sat urday night, is now thought by his phy- sician to be in a critical condition and a consultation of physicians was helI yes terday afternoon. Gailney was arrested and was held under $500 bonds. He got into a dispute with Kelly Saturday night in the saloon and was elected from the place. He soon returned and at tackled Kelly with knife which he slashed across his neck. infllcting a severe wound. Kelly has but recently recovered from pneumonia and it is feared that his physical condition will not allow him to stand the shock. Gaffney denies that he cut Kelly, but this can be proven by witnesses who saw him do the act.

game itself Is so simple that any child can
play it. and Jet it's pretty hard to win
prize at it. Probably the simplicity OF
the game is one reason why it is so popu-

place of euchre. Simple or not. it is an
excellent means for making merriment,
and that is its main virtue.
