The Peoples party would announce to
the voters of Waterbury the following as
the principles of the party in the coming
town election.
First We believe there should be under
the present system of taxation re-adjust-
ment of the assessment of the property of
the town. We claim that the practice of
the present is to favor the large estate at
the expense of the small estate And we
demand n board of assessors and relief
that will investigate the lists and property
and as nearly as possible fix just ratio of
taxation, and not discriminate in favor of
large estates and land spectators and
against small taxpayers. And We recon-
sors be made adequate to remunerate
them for time and services necessary to
faithfully perform their duties.
Second: We would ask that when it be-
comes necessary to employ labor on public
works. preference must be given to citi-
zens of this town.
Third: We demand that the board of
education devise means to furnish text
books to scholars in our public schools
free, or at least at cost.
Fourth: We favor the economical expen-
diture of the town funds. and demand that
the CT arity and business departments shall
be kept so distinct that in the business
department only business princiI les shall
govern, and that town aid shall not be ex-
tended to political favorites and that no
new offices be created for the friends of
city officials or in payment of services not
necessary nor when an equivalent is not
rendered.; but we do demand that no case
of want or restitution shall go UNDECIDED,
and that complete comfort shall be ex-
tended to the deserving poor.
Fifth: We demand revision of the city
charter so as to abolish the present system
of contracts in all municipal works. We
consider the present system an outrage on
our resident laborcrs whereby a favored
few secure fat contracts and import I'M
desirable labor into our city to do the
work when hundreds of citizens and tax
payers are congregating on our public
squares clamoring for employment.
Sixth: We invite our citizens in favor of
promulgating these principles to rally
round the standard of the peoples party
and assist by your votes next October to
give our city government of the people,
for the people and by the people.
At a meeting of the Peoples Party club
of Waterbury it was
Resolved, that this club endorse the
Omaha platform of the peoples party.

STREETS AND SEWERS.

Contractor McManus Allowed to With
draw His Bid For the Trunk Sewer.
The board of road and sewer commits
sioners met at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Washington avenue property owners. be-
tween Alder and South Wilson streets,
have accepted service in lieu of a hearing,
and it was voted to recommend sidewalks,
cutters and catch basin for this part of the
street at cost of $500.
Hearings were ordered as follows Side
walks on both sides of William street, on
Fairvlew street; layout of sidewalk, grades
and building line on Livery street, side
walks, 'gutters.an grades of Round Hill
between Farm and Wood streets, all on
June 20. In regard to North Willow eX
tension Mayor Kilduff thought the same
course should be taken as was done
in Elizabeth street. Property owners should
grade street to the grade established.
II would cost the city SIS, 900 to grade the
street and there is no house above William
Pierce's. The city engineer, it was found,
had the matter in hand and no action was
taken. To the city engineer was also re-
ferred the maps for investigation for open
ing up of the new section near the extern
sion of Buckingham street.
Property owners who want Orange court
accepted by the city were ordered cited for
hearing July IL.
Contractor McManuS' communication,
which appeared in the DEMOCRAT the other
evening was read at the meeting of the
sewer board. He was given leave to with
draw his bid and all the bids for the con-
struction of the trunk sewer were rejected
and the engineer instructed to call for new
bids

won the Newmarket stakes. Racing on
the other side differs greatly from racing
in America. When n Derby candidate Is
tipped and backed to win, no is not left
at the post by the starter or pulled by his
jockey or pocketed by other jockeys and
prevented from winning, rs is tho custom
In this country when horse is favorite
for some big race like the Brooklyn Hand
leap. Consequently it seems very prob
able that Lord Rosebery will sec his am
bition to own Derby winner gratitied
Ladas is 3 years old and son of Hamp-
ton and illuminate. Last year as n 2-year
old ho was unbeaten, winning in his usual
easy style the Woodcoto stakes at EPSON,
the Coventry at Ascot, the Champagne ut
Doncaster and the Middle Park plate at
Newmarket. He cxccls the other entries
in the Derby and If form is to be relied
upon he will add the ribbon event to his
list.
His most formidable opponents in the
Derby arc Matchbox and Athlone, but in
the Two Thousand Guineas he defeated
the former by length and u half and the
latter by six lengths. Lord Rosebery is
very enthusiastic turfman, and his cup of
happiness will DO full to tho brim If Ladas
romps homo q winner in June.

WATERBURY DROPPED.
The Franchise of the Base Ball Club
Given to New Britain.

The Franchise of the Base Ball Club
Given to New Britain.
A meeting of the state base ball league
was held in New Haven yesterday. 1t was
shown conclusively that Waterbury was
the especially weak city in the circuit and
after protracted discussion it was decided
to drop the club representing the Brass
City from the league. The team has
played good ball and has an excellent
standing in the race, but in consequence
of poor management no interest has been
taken in the clubs games at home and
only a corporals guard has been present
at the games.
The league at its meeting yesterday, in
view of the fact that the Waterbury man
agement did not deem it of sufficient i'm
portance to be represented, decided to
drop Waterbury from the league and to
transfer its standing and its franchise to
the New Britain team. This will enable
the league to continue on n four club cir
cult, and rs the game has been fairly we'll
patronized in those cities the prospects of
the league are considerably brighter than
they have been recently.
After short but interesting struggle the
Waterbury base ball has given up the
ghost. is safe to predict that the next
time an out of town man comes here to
organize Il ball team lie will be obliged to
secure all ont of town players. Norton, the
self styled captain, is said to be the legal
adviser of dishonest scheme. He got his
hands on the money and then
put up job on the home
players. A board bill of, 500, con-
tracted by the strangers, was paid out of
the money they had. 1t is SAID, however,
that they neglected to pay Jimmy Peoples
board bill. and this is only one of many
unpaid bills notwithstanding the report in
this mornings paper Norton then
opened his heart and paid Donahue s.. 25,
Fox, Moore and Brennan 81 each and Con-
nor so. He makes n scurrilous charge
q ,ainst club that has spent much money
to make base ball n success in Waterbury.
The Acme boys have been noted for fair
ness and show better principles than this
self styled captain. 1t was a pity that
papers were not served on Mr. Norton by
some of the players to secure their money.
They have not paid Manager Peoples bills
If they come to this office they can find
bill of 81 for printing. Another bill of
some $3.50, for balls they can find at NJ
Brrgin's. Norton and his out of town
friends have not used the Waterbury con-
tingent well and some time the compliment
may be returned.

\ Dispatch From Washington states
That the Nomination of Waterbury's
Assistant Postmas or Will Not be
Approved.
Connecticut Associated Press dispatch
to the DEMOCRAT this afternoon states:
Mr. Daniel E. Fitzpatrick, who was APP
pointed postmaster at Waterbury n few
weeks ago, is likely to have some trouble
with the postmaster general, growing out
OF the appointment of his brother as as
sishnt postmaster. From what can be
learned Mt the department, Mr. Pigott pro-
tested against this division of
patronage among the Fitzpatrick family,
but Notwithstanding his objection the
brother in the office, and did so. Although
Mr. PigCtt declined to discuss the matter,
and seemed somewhat annoyed to find
that the facts were known, it is manifest
that he regards Mr. Fitzpatrick's action as
bad politics and rs not being calculated to
prove satisfactory TO the local democrats
1t may be stated MS a fact that the depart
ment will refuse to approve the appoint
ment of Mr. Fitzpatrick's brother and that
this will neceSSltate the selection of an
other man for the place"
Postmaster Fitzpatrick was interviewed
this afternoon in reference to the matter
He said: 1T is true that Congressman
Pigott did advise against the appointment
as soon as he heard of it, on the ground
that he feared the appointment would
create dissention among the local demo-
cracy and ultimately work to the detriment
of the party" Mr. Fitzpatrick added that
he knew these fears We're groundless. No
ole had asked for the position and for this
and various other reasons he had reason
to believe that the appointment would not
in any way injure the party. If there had
been few applicants for the position
things might have been different. In ap-
pointing his brother. he had not exceeded
his right. The postal laws and regulations
allow man the right to appoint any
member of his own family, even his wife
to that position. The nomination of the
assistant postmaster has been forwarded to

WORLD OF SPORTS.

From the game the Chicagos have been
putting up since they came east, it is sus-
pected that Arson has been playing pos
sum all the while.
That left handed Breitenstein continues
to be stumbling block in the path of
every club. He ranks with the most
effective pitchers in the business.
The Buffalo club has released Third
Baseman Gilbert to the Brooklyn club at
his own request. The latter will probably
farm him out to the Springfield club, in
which Gilbert played last season. Other
changes are likely to be made in the Buffa-
10 team before long.
