Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-01
POLITICAL POINTERS.

Eugene Su1AV@h VIII WOTk EOr the Regular Ticket For City. Town and School Ofacers. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 I was honestly chosen as candidate for alderman at the last primary cleo ton in the fourth ward, by large ma iority. My friends who Loyalty worked for my nomination have never conceded the right to John c. Altman to be the candidate for alderman. Il should be ungrateful to my friends if acknowledged Altman to be the candi- date. Owing to affairs of a private nature I must withdraw my name, having been asked by my friends to head an independent ticket for ward officers. Daniel F. Kelly has been chosen by the men who elected me at the primaries as candidate for alder man. have endorsed the nomination as in vindication for the rights which belong to me.
 EUGENE SULLIVAN,
 Waterbury, October 1, 1892.
 Mir Sullivan has repudiated all other statements purporting to express his views. He will support the regular ticket, except forward offices.
 JOHN S. NEAGLE INDICATED.
 In justice to John S. Neagle, the Q6nOCTdIIC TUT ClGy ClSTk, four of the five members of the district committee when MT Neagle was school clerk, have signed the following letter:
 "The undersigne1, who were mem bers of the district committee during the period that John s. Neagle was clerk of the district, deem it but simple justice to state that certain charges made against Mir Neagle are wholly without foundation. We can truly state that in the matter of the appoint ment of janitors he took no part what ever, and neither preferred charges against any officer of the district, nor matter coming before the board. A great wrong is being done Mir Neagle owing to circumstances over which he has no control"
 The original of the above, with the signatures, may be seen at the DEMO- GRAF office The fifth member of the district committee of the year in ques- tion is not in the city, or his name also would without doubt be signed to the letter of vindication.
 A CARD FROM PETER F. CoUGHLAN. Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 herewith sever my connection with the Americus club. I became a mem-
  I believed the object was to purify the politics of the party. I was mistaken and could not conscientiously endorse [ the action of the club or vote the ticket proposed. It looked too much like 1e- | publican scheme, and I am a democrat of twenty years standing.
 PETER F. COUGHLAN.
 D. J. Mahaney, the democratic candi- ' Iofn for oI1oT.T1ooF in fhn fhirI rI pays taxes on $50, ,000 worth of property. MT Gregory, his republican opponent, does not own a dollars worth. Charles \ Thatcher of the first ward is also a heavy taxpayer. The taxpayers in these wards should study their interests and vote for men who will be theil friends, and not for men who vote al the beck of large corporations.
 Hon w. U. Hense1, attorney-genera of Pennsylvania, will discuss campaign issues from democratic standpoint, al City hall this evening. The following list of officers has been named: Chair Charles G. Root, Judge Ellis Phelap John Ryan, E. l.. Frisbie, Louis Morrot Norman D. Granniss, Jobn w. Gaffney James w. Hodson, Dr E. w. Mcdonald John Moriarty, Perry w. Morris Arthur N. Tyrrell, Bernard F. Fitz patrick, c. B. Webster, M. J. Nelligan William Perkins, Michael Guilfoile John Shanley, Daniel Mccarthy, Will liam c. Keenan.
 If the person who signs himself "Cltizen" and addresses a circular tC the democrats of Waterbury believed his own statements, and was actuateC by any motive to benefit the party, ht would not be ashamed to sign his name and let his fellow citizens know who ht is. We have seen just such republican dodges before, and we feel sure that thu mercenary motives attributed to th' leaders are similar to the mo tives which made "Citizen" senC out this circular. Democrats should treat such appeals with contempt. Th' citizens movement is republican men whose bread and butter depend o1 "split" tickets and discord in democratic rank.
 A committee representing the regula democratic candidates waited upon tn, dissatisfied element of the party las night and tried to effect a reconciliation but without success. Among othe things Moritz Grelle, the nominee fo first selectmen, was asked if in the even of his election Superintendent Moran O the almshouse, and James Sutton, fore man of the town roads, would be re tained. MT Grelle proved himself al honest man by refusing to mak, any pledges. He informed the nal contents that if elected he would mak' no change for the mere sake of change and that no competent man now hold ing a position would be removed. Thi
 was not satisfactory to the independent and the meeting adjourned. All homo to MT Grelle for his honest stand
 Those who would have the manage ment of our schools in competent ant careful hands should vote the demo
