THE TIDAL! WAVE.

The independent men of brains are yielding to the logic of events and becoming Democrats We proudly chronicle the conversion of Judge Gresham who was a Union genera in the late war. and vas Postmaster General under President Arthur. and came near being the Re- publican nominee for President in 1888, and who i3 considered the abIest United States judge in the West; of Judge Cooley, who is the best authority on United States Constitutional law, and was appointed by Pres. Harrison chairman of the Inter state Commerce C0mmis sion If Wayne MacVeagh who was United States Attorney general under Garfield; and of Henry A. Meyer the Republican eX-mayor of Brooklyn, and others of lesser note.
 Among the summer residents of Kidgefield such men as James Morris, Geo N. OlCott, IT,, Henry E. HawIey, John C.. Perry, M. D., ]. M. Crafts, ]. M. Andreini, Bache McE.. Emmett, M. D.. and Geo. W. Riggs, all of whom have been Republicans are now honorary members of the C. X 5. Campaign Club and will vote for Cleveland. Can the Republicans show l single convert comparable to these?
 The logic of events is memorable and irresistible and this year it is Democratic Such men as We have just named are now rising to the sur face, many quieter Republicans will follow their lead and together with the solid impetus of Democratic unity and enthusiasm bid fair to form a tidal wave that will sweep over any Chinese

greatest importance pertaining to both the nation and the commonwealth. Burning questions affecting the llber- ties. the morals and the welfare of our people Questions that ought to arouse the interest and the energies of every intelligent and public spirited man who is patriotic and humane . Our system of misrepresentation, our antlQuated constitution, the improper use of money in elections, the eco- homie welfare of our state and of it's citizens as affected by the present tariff, the removal of our manufac- tories to the West to obtain cheaper coal and iron than can be had in Con- necticut under the Mckinley tariff, the depreciation of farm values. the abandonment of farming lands, !he depopulation of our rural districts, and the increasing number of farmers wives in our insare asylums, all cry out to the disinterested patriotic and humane thinkers of both parties for remedial legislation. We have not so great a majority to overcome as existed m Massachusetts when Gov. Russell first became their standard bearer, but success will be full as difficult for the reason that Connecticut !S known to be such a close state, which leads to the sending of large sums of money to the State from outside sources to carry the election in the interests of those whose pockets are protected by the present condition of our laws. But success is possible, for truth will prevail in the end.
 We urge the young men of Conn2c- tcnt to arouse. Bear in mind what has been done in the old Bay State, cast aside all self-seekins and personal interests, and band together for purer politics, for better laws, for statesman like rulers, and for the good Of our grand old Commonwealth.

RECENT CONVERTS.
HON. WALTER Q. GRESHAM.

Judge Gresham cannot, with propriety. write a political opinion from the bench but has unequivocally declared him. self to several reporters ill favor of Cleveland and Stevenson. He has been dissenter from the new Re publican creed of protection" for some time. He could not accept the nomination of the "Peoples' Party' be- cause of their foolish money blanks, and his lnightly courageous and impartial character has compelled him to declare his honest convictions, regardless of con- sequences. He has recently expressed himself against monopoly and class legisla- tion aud stated his belief that the Re publicans favored both, and to maintain them. and to continue their power have corrupted and debased the country. His conversion almost assures Indiana to the Democrats, where his famous "dinner pail decsion' against Jay Gould has given him large following.

YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS..


 The renOminatiOn of GOY. Russell, last week, gives an instructive md encouraging lesson to all young T en of brains and property, who are inter ested in their countrv'S politics for their Countrys good. Less than q decade ago a number of the young democrats of Massachusetts chose Wm. E. Russell as their standard beaten and nominated him as the candidate for governor of the state. They then formed q state organization and con- menced campaign ofcducation.
 They defined clearly the issues at stake and by means of cMby--by the distribution of lterature--by speeches and joint debates-went on vigorously in their work of eleS ating the politics of the state and making converts to their way of thinking. Their candi- date was defeated, but nothing daunt- ed they strengthened and enlarged their organization and for q second time nominated Mir. Russell. Aoain he was defeated but by such q sle- duced majority that it became evid<nt to the minds of all that their work was producing the desired effect. Si,,ce then Gov. Russell has been twice non- mated and twice elected by increas~ ing majorltIes, and the vital question which now interests Massachusetts and the whole country, is not whether he will win the rubber and be reelected but whether his name and the prin3i- ples which he and his faithful followers have so vaIiantly advocated will swing the electoral v0;e Of NIassachusctt, into the Democratic column for tA2 first time since the last war.
 Connecticut can be won in this same manner. There are presented to the voters of this State to. day issues of the

OUR OBJECT.

With this issue THE CONNECTICUT CITIZEN begins its battle on behalf of the farmers, mechanics and labor ing class1of Western Connecticut in favor o/lower tariff taxation, purer politics and just state representation.
 Its aims are not mercenary and it will consider the expense of publica- ton we'll invested if it succeeds in con, vincing its readers of the truth and correctness of the doctrines it advo- cates. Many of our citizens are labor ing under misapprehension of facts regarding the issues involved in the approaching election, and THE CITIZEN proposes to show them the true state of the facts, feeling assured that if these are correctly understood, there will be tremendous revolt against the leaders of the Republican party in its own ranks. We instance the conver- sion of Judges Gresham and Cooley and ,1r. MacNeagh set forth in another column.
 The farmers are finding it. harder than ever to make q living and the mechanics are no better off than they were four years ago, in spite of the promises of the Republican party. THE CITIZEN proposes to explain why Nthis is so.
 It intends to present to the citizens of Ridgefeld and the neighboring towns the burning political questions

DASTARDLY POLITICS.

Just as this edition goes to press we are informed that the halyards of the Cleve- land and Stevenson banner whose raising by the Titicus boys we have described on our first page have been cut and two United States flags on the poles stolen. The parties who did this despicable act are known. and it is sufficient for the present to say that they were not fires. ponsible boys. Such actions will prove a boomerang to the guilty parties and the cause they attempt to represent. Honest citizens will repudiate such deeds by their votes

HON. WAYNE MACVEAGH,

Mr. Wayne MacVeagh is not hampered by judicial position or kept in enforced silence by illness Ina letter written on Oct. to the Secretary of the Massachu- sctts Reform Club he expresses his lnten- ton to vote for Mr. Cleveland and says:
 The average voter knows that free trade is impossible in this country, for the con- elusive reason that the vast revenues now required to meet the expenses of the gov ernment will necessarily afford a far high CT degree of protection to our established and prosperous manufactures than either Alexander Hamilton or Henry Clay thought desirable in the infancy of our weak and struggling industries.
 On the other hand he knows as we'll that no system of duties on imports, however negotiable, can prevent our continued growth ill wealth, i'll manufactures and in population, a growth due to the incom parable gifts of Providence, the intelli- gence and energy of the people, and the blessings Of free institutions. I find myself at present in general accord with the Democratic party, and willing to trust its course in the future. The in sight, the courage, and the patriotism the masses of the party exhibited in compel ing the nomination of MT. Cleveland when he was without a single office holder to support his candidacy seem to me to de- mand that 1 should meet them in the same spirit and act with them as long as they maintain that high standard of policy and of administration. It is the more easy to do so because the Republican party at once embarked upon what I regard as a reckless and revolutionary policy, even overturning all the safeguards of legisla- tion ill the house of representatives in their haste to pass the Force bill and the Mckinley bill, both, to my mind unnec- essary and unwise measasures.
 There IS no pretense that the Mckinley bill is abandoned. No doubt it greatly benefited few interests. but cer- tainly it greatly oppressed many others. Of the protected industries themselves. many were then. as now, in far more urgent need of free raw materials than of higher protection, but with raw materi als on the free list the bill could not have

wall of protection and poodle the Republicans can rear, and carry MT. Cleveland far over their heads into the White House by the grandest majority given any President in this generation. When the waters subside the Republican monopolists will be found dead and rotting in the slime of their own corruption

HON. THOMAS M. COOLEY

Ex-iudge Cooley is quite ill and unable to write letters or see reporters but his friends announce his adherence to the Democratic party. The reason may be inferred from the quotation out of his great work on Constitutional limita- tions" which we publish on the first page.

Bi-Mesallism Unanimously Favored by

An Important section of the confer
ence holds that NJ. de Rothschild's
withdrawal OF his plan for . solution Of
the silver question does not debar the
further discussion of his proposals. by
the conference, the committee to

conference, thus taking it out Of the
hands of NJ. de Rothschild.
Today NJ. Saincteiiette, . Belgian
delegate who supports the De Roths-
child plan, with the Moritz-Levy
amendment substituting silver for
small gold coins, held . conference
with SIR c. Fremxntle, one of the Brit
ism delegates and deputy master of the
British mint, and Senoi Toca. . Span
ism delegate, on the question of putting
the amended De Rotnschild plan to q
vote of the conference. Both Senior
Toca and NJ. Sainctellette hold that q
failure of the conference can yet be
ayerted by majority Of the delegates
recommending either the Levy project
or the amended Rothechild plan. The
scheme proposed by G. +. Teltjes, the
Danish delegate, is treated with indif-
ference. IL may be dropped without
discussion by the conference.
