Peoples Party will Not Join With Demo-
 crats for Free Silver.

St. Louis, July 1.-Chairman Taube- neck of the peoples party national committee when seen this morning re- garding published statement that Mr. Bland would be acceptable to the pop ulists if the democrats nominate him for president, said to the United Press reporter: T made no such statement, nor will the peoples party endorse Mr. Bland if he is nominated at the Chi cago convention. The peoples party has more voters who will stand up and be counted for free silver than any other party. The peoples party is the only party which has honestly contend ed for the remonetization of silver at 16 to l, and it is the only party in ex- istence whose members are united for this demand.
 ''The peoples party for the sake of union of all the silver forces at the polls in the coming campaign will meet other silver clements half way, but no farther. We will not surrender our or ganization or individuality. If the democrats cannot meet us half way on a man like Senator Teller, then the party is responsible for the division of the silver forces in the coming cam paign.'

 Latter.


 Latter.
 New York, July 1.-Thomas R. Daw- ley, jr., an artist from Harper Broth CTS, sent to Cuba some five months ago, arrived here this morning on the steamer Oriziba. Mir. Dawley said that the situation in Cuba was the same when he left that it has been for six weeks. The insurgents occupy large portion of the island and seem to be equal in strength to any of the Spanish troops yet sent there A short time before MT. Dawley left the Spanish troops, about 4,800 strong, attacked General Maceo but were beaten back During his stay on the island there had been five attacks by the Spaniards all of which the insurgents success fully repulsed. The real war seems to be between General Weyler and the newspapermen. While in Cuba MT. Dawley was arrested and confined in Morro Castle two weeks, charged with photographing the trocha. According to MT Dawley the insurgents have food, clothing and ammunition enough to last them a year and from present indications the Spanish will never again have entire control of the whole island.

BRICK PAYEMENrs ORDERED.
Wooster and Ashmun Streets to be Laid.

| Laid.
 The board of public works was in ses- sion for three hours last evening, the most of which time was passed behind closed doors Information was given out that the time was taken up with discussing the Wooster street and the Ashmun street pavements. One of the commissioners was asked if the Hamilton investigation was talk ed of The commissioner replied in the negative. That there was nothing to be said about the investigation appear ed to be the opinion of all the members, it being agreed that events should shape themselves as the inquiry pro- gressed
 When the matter of brick pavements for Wooster street was brought up Commissioner States had the order read, It specifies that the brick used should be of ''vitrified clay" and to be equal in quality to the Hbest Syracuse" :"
 In executive session 1t was decided to advertise for bids, according to the spe- cifications proposed, for the paving of Wooster and Ashmun streets, submit
 ted by City Engineer Kelly. Bids will be advertised for under a five and ten year guarantee, and also for no time guarantee whatever.
 The pavement on Ashmun street will extend from Gregory to Grove streets, and will be 2,S00 feet in length. The Wooster street order extends from
 Union street to East, and is 5000 feet long.
 H. M. Arnold was before the board asking that the French Telegraph Ca ble company be allowed to replace four poles along Columbus avenue, between Downes street and the junction of Co., lumbus and Congress avenues. This company is the successor of the Amer ican Union Telegraph company and it's poles are used by other companies The line was built by Jay Gould In 1873 The
 matter was referred to the committee on poles, trees and parks, with power.
 w. C. Lawton of the firm of Lawton
 & Pratt, manufacturers of car axles, appeared before the board asking that Clinton street. from Middletown ave-
 nue, to the Shore Line railroad, be hardened.
 William H. Perry, representing the American Car Sprinkling company of Worcester, Mass, asked that the board
 assign the contract awarded his com pany for the sprinkling of streets to the New Haven Street Sprinkling conn pany.
 Commissioner States said that Mas sachusetts blood does not seem to be blue enough and the new company is composed of Connecticut blood, which he understood had been injected inio the Massachusetts company. He nov ed that the transfer be made. The vote was passed unanimously. The Blales- lees and several other New Haven par ties are said to be interested in the new company.
 The city engineer was instructed to see that Michael Levin of Cedar street and Congress avenue remove the ob- structions from the street. The ob- structions complained of are the steps
 used to enter a new house being built by Levin.

Or, in other words, S,537 republican voters in these towns will be represent ed by 1S6 delegates, while the 42.S9S vot- CTS described in Table A will be repre- scented by only 56 delegates.
 And so I might continue to demon- strate the utter inequality of our pres ent system of representation, but I have, I believe, shown sufficiently its palpable unfairness. Is there single fair minded republican in the state of Connecticut who will say that this con- dition of things Is just, fair or equita- ble? In the face of these facts argu- ment is simply superf1uous.
 Tn this effort at reform in our present system there is no thought of taking away from any town its present repre- sentation, for that were impossible, even if it were desirable. But surely you cannot but agree with me that the great mass of loyal republicans in the state who furnish the votes that make success possible for us are entitled to some little consideration, and should have voice in our party's councils somewhat commensurate with their numbers
 nave at present no ueIalleu pldIl VI representation in mind. That is a mat ter which can be determined at the state convention. Nor do hope or ask to have adopted any plan that will give the large towns such increased repre- sentation as will give them the power to dominate over the small ones I merely ask for a fair representation, and ask it in the name of good, fair minded, loyal republicanism.
 The voice of the great mass of repub- licans in this state, pleading for their just due, Is bound to be listened to.
 Will you kindly consider this ques- tion and give me your views thereon, and also what the sentiment upon this question among the leading republicans of your locality is? And If you agree with me in this matter, would it not be we'll to bring it before your next town convention and have the delegates to the state. convention instructed to work for this object?
 Awaiting your reply, I am, yours truly, ISAAC M. ULLMAN.
