Asher is popular with all New Haven CTS. an is now as we'll known as the late John W. Lake or Theodore Futile 10 all your people. He is also. under stand. a warm friend of Mir. Pigott. and could no doubt get his endorse ment if any one can.
 As things now are. however, collee- tor Winehell will smile serenely and continue to draw his salary. and give entire satisfaction to all good citizens in his district. who are neither looking for office or political pie.
 What do 1 think of the coming fall campaign? We'll. think that the par ty that wins will have 10 light every inch Of the way to do it. and it Is not safe at this time to predict one way or the other. If business picks up. as I think 1t is bound to do 50. the demo- crats will probably win as far as ma jority of votes cast goes. but they may lose tho legislature and thereby the governor. or course it will be Banker Benedict against Mill Owner Cheney. and Is bound 10 be a campaign with plenty of funds. but think this time that the best man will win regardless of money. as the people seem deter mined 10 take example by the present congress and have cleaner politics this year If possible. There are a great many dissatisfied people of the two leading parties in your state to-day. and If a determined effort should be made 10 combine the forces Of the Law and order league, the populists. l.l t.l 4 lata a.sA Ftf tA- gether, one of the two parties would have to suffer. This is already talked of. as Is new scheme to have open-air meetings In various parts of the state at stated periods from now until cleo ton day. and have such men as Rev. Newman Smyth, of your city. and oth- CT leading men of the state. who take an interest in the welfare of the people, deliver addresses on politics as they are and as they should be. l am also told that many of the leading papers of the state are to combine to wage war against ring rule in both parties and urge clean politics. but how true this all is I cannot say. I give 1t to you as 1t was told me.
 The Rev. John c. Collins, of your city, has been spending few days at the na- tional capital, and when seen by your correspondent had just returned from a visit to the senate. I am disgusted, said he, to know what can be done by these men who are sent here to repre- sent the people, and don't want to see any more of 1t. He then turned his at- tention to his work, and for half hour filled the willing ears of your correspon- dent with an enthusiastic account of the good work being done by his gospel wagons in various parts of the coun- try. His large wagon, fitted up for liv- ing purposes. is now in charge of MT. Moody in the west, while his other wagon, which has been already de- scribed in your journal, is in Connecti- cut, where MT. Collins is now engaged in work. This wagon holds forty peo- pie, continued the enthusiastic divine, and in it we can carry a full choir and a brass band. The side lets down, making platform for the speaker to stand on, and 1t beats speaking in hall or church all to pieces. Why, he we can put that wagon out in front of Center church and have twenty thousand people in reach of the speakers voice. We are doing lots of good work all over with these wagons. .. While. in the city MT. Collins met Senator Patten, First Assistant Post master-General Jones and Patent Com missioner Seymour, classmates of his at Yale, and they had small class re- union. CAPITOL. ,
