issue Of sound money. but make IT, do not
"oro,,sc" or awake TO action" until few weeks

that they would frown upon Mr. CaryS EFFORT To
"arousc" and awake To action at this time IN"
votin, masses whose relation 10 the issue or
sound money is objective rather than subjective.
Yet Cary means well, no doubt
The responses Of other Connecticut Democrats
Of cmincnce and distinction are interesting rather
ON account OF the varicgatcd character or the
opinions expressed than for their bearing on thc
arousing and awakng 10 action. Ex-Governor
Waller Tor instance, Is not in favor of the awak-
ing and arorsing because, he says. The money
issue is very likely 10 create split In the party
And what is the use he says "of Fastening
the split?' Mr.. Mcphclcmy. another member OF
the State Committee wants convention because
the party Is 'Gn a depressed state" and needs
a shaking ND" Therein McPhcemys head Is
level Ex-Mayor Sergeant, of New-layen, said
he WAS hoarSe and "woud not talk AT dollar
n word" Tha: interview stopped there, and no
effort was made 10 draw him out by the offer Of
n dollar and quarter. EX-Judge Callahan said
the President had struck the keynote" and 'thc
democratic party should grid up its lOins and
"bracc itself" but whether 1t should begin 10
Grid and brace right of or at a later day the
Judge neglected 10 say. Customs Collector Hale,
Of New London, "would not advocate ncor-
"porating in the next National platform plank
"fully I'm accordance with the views expressed
in the Presidents letter" and did not think the
Marty should commit itself in convention or
otherwise 10 the policy" Which reminds us of n
London editor who once said, when IN II
fort was In progress 10 make Prohibition II burn
ing question, that he was Temperance man
and had been for three weeks. but did not think
1t necessary TO refer to the subject in the party
platform. Mr. Bcckwith, OF the same town. who
was lately a Democratic candidate for Congress,
thought as the party was divided 1t would be
unwse ito antagonize the whole West on silver"
Which is also conservative view. ExJudgc
