Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1892-11-02

AS the secret ballot makes the buying
of votes very difficult matter to ac-
complish, the republicans have, it is
claimed, adopted another scheme which
will be worked in New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, West Virginia and
Illinois. 1t it to hire democrats to stay
at home on election day. The early ex-
posture of this scheme will prevent its
success. The democrat who remains at
home on election day will in view of
the open efforts of the republicans to
purchase the absence of the voters, leave
himself open to the suspicion of having
yielded to the temptation of republican
corruption.
Edwin King of Middletown was yes
terday nominated for congress on the
independent democratic ticket, opposed
to the regular democratic nominee,
James P. Pigott of New Haven, in the
second district. The remainder of the
ticket will be nominated November 3.
The statistics of the manufacturers in
Hartford will not be published until
after election. The figures do not ap-
pear to be satisfactory to the census
bosses and it is barely possible that
there may arise a necessity for a new
enumeration of industries.
The uneasiness among republicans
ny th0 al VI D0 ' CI
Warner of Bridgeport, as a candidate
for presidential elector, has now been
increase by a letter by his son en-
dorsing the fathers views on the tariff
which are decidedly contrary to those
in the republican platform. There is
now but little doubt that both father
and son will vote for Cleveland.
Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio, Gov
ernor Morris of New Haven and the
other state officers, James P. Pigott,
candidate for congress, and ex-Con-
gresham Robert j. Vance of New
Britain will address the democratic
mass meeelng in the City hall this even
ing. They should be accorded warm
reception. A glee club will sing cam

1t is announced on the authority O
Charles R. Baldwin, eX-mayor of Wa
terburv and at present in business il
New York, that Watson J. Miller, presi
dent of the Derby Silver company, ha
come out for Cleveland and will vot
the democratic ticket. The reason
given are that the McKinl, high tarif
bill has injured his business.
Concerning Connecticut Mr. Gorma
and Mr. Whitney h ave been more or les
nervous. Their adversaries have mad
a determined fight to capture the littl
Nutmeg state. And even democrat
have been met who believe that Connec
icut will be lost to Mr. Cleveland. Thos
half-hearted democrats, though, under
estimate the resources and fghtin
abilities of Mr. German and Mr. Whitney
The state is to be deluged with speaker
and campaign literature up to the hou
in the fight. 1t is just possible, also
that Mr. Cleveland may run up to th
state and make a speech or two. Their
are loud demands for him, and he is de
batting whether or not he will gone,
