CONNECTICUT CYCLISTS.
Organization Formed at Meriden to Opp
 pose the l.. A. w.

Meriden, Oct. Slate this afternoon the Connecticut Federation of Cyclists was formed with the election of these officers for the coming year: President, A. E. Brainard, Meriden; vice presi- dent, Attorney s. P. Metcalf, Middle town; secretary, Henry S. King, Meri- den; treasurer, William H. Tohms of Waterbury; executive committee, Rob- ert M. Brown, Norwich; o. c. Coe, Bridgeport; c. c. Huntington, Hart ford.
 The sessions of the newly formed fed- eration ended tonight with banquet at the Young Mems Christian associa- tion rooms.
 The constitution and bylaws as adopted this afternoon provide for the government of the federation by divi- sions, which will correspond with the twenty-four senatorial districts. These divisions will in turn be sub-divided in to districts for the more scrupulous ad- mnistration of affairs. The member ship fee and yearly due is twenty-five cents. The second Tuesday in October was adopted as the day for the annual meeting.
 Tonight after the above organiza- ton had been completed another wheel mems meeting was held. Those who took part in this meeting were mem bers of the League of American Wheel men exclusively. Such was not the case this afternoon and earlier in the evening. The purpose of the second meeting was to organize an opposition to the present administration of the l. A W. in this state and to secure the defeat of the ticket nominated in Hartford a few weeks ago by the L. A. w. members, which is headed by the present consul.
 The L. A. W. men who met tonight are dissatisfied with the alleged inac- tivity of the present officers of the league in this state in attempting to se- cure legislation favorable to wheel men. The ticket which they made up, and will fight to have conquer in the league state elections, which are to be held from October 15 to October 20, is as follows:
 Chief consul, W. A. Howell of Water bury; vice consul, F. x. Moxley of New London: secretary and treasurer, Rob- ert F. Kelsey of Hartford.
 This movement was rather of a spon- taneous nature, but the men at the head of it hope to secure the favor of a large percentage of cyclists.

TO ITALIAN-4MERICANs
Major Mckinley Addresses a Delegation
 of 300 From Pitfshurp.

Canton, O., Oct. S.-At noon to-day a delegation of 300 Italian Americans with banners and band from Pittsburg, representing the United Italian Repub- lican club of that city, visited Major Mckinley. The spokesman was Lewis Reggino. Major Mckinley replied as follows:
 T am very glad to meet my fellow citizens of Italian birth and descent who have honored me with this visit to-day. appreciate this visit because it means that you have an interest in common with all your fellow citizens in the welfare of the country of your adoption and because you feel that in the campaign now upon us there is much involved in the rightful settle ment of the questions which are pre- scented.
 we are a nation of working people. We recognize no caste or class or rank and will tolerate none beneath this flag. We are a nation of political equals. The voice of one citizens is as potent as the voice of another and their united voice when constitutionally ex- pressed in the law of the land. The great English statistician, Mr. Mulhall, declares that no other civilized country than the United States could boast of 41, 1,0O0,000 instructed citizens in a total population of less than 7O,00O000, all of whom happily are equal beneficiaries of the advantages and blessings and opportunities of free government"
 After reviewing the issues of the campaign, the major concluded as fol- lows:
 T am especially gratified to be as- sured that our Italian fellow citizens are enrolled this year in the ranks of the great republican party, and that they are enlisted in a patriotic effort to achieve a victory for themselves, for their labor for their occupations and for their country" (Cheers.)

HILL STILL HIS HOLE.
Peers Out Just Little Occasionally, Then
 Runs Back.

New York, Oct. S,-National Commit teeman Frank Campbell was seen this afternoon at democratic headquarters. He said he had just returned from AL bany, where he had gone for the pur- pose of having a consultation with Senator Hill about several matters of importance in the present campaign. When asked as to the position of Sena- tor Hill generally in the canvass, MT. Campbell said:
 Senator Hill has been in consulta- tion with those charged with the man. agement of the campaign in this state from the start, and has been and will continue to be of aid to them because of his interest in the success of the democratic party in state and union. He is not in sympathy with those dem- ocrats who would defeat the ticket be- cause the platform is in some respects unsatisfactory to them. He feels that the position taken by him at Chicago makes it impossible for him to serve his party effectively in this campaign by any other course than that so far pursued by him.
 Chairman Danforth of the democrat ic state committee said he had num- Der of interviews with Senator Hill re- gently, and that he believed his posi- tion was as stated in MT. Campbelps s interview.

TO KEEP THEM orF THE TICKET
Popocrats Seek to Prevent Democrats from
 Getting an Official Ballot.

Albany, Oct. S.-The hearing on the protest of Chairman Danforth of the democratic state committee, against the filing of the ticket of the national dem- ocratic party, thus giving 1t column on the official ballot, was had before Secretary of State Palmer this morn- ing. The main contentious in the pro- test are that the national party is not the democratic party of the state and that it held no convention; that it did not poll 10000 votes at the last guberna- torial election and that the national democratic party is misleading.
 Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner of New York, who appear for the protestant, said the use of the word national necessarily came to a party of long standing, thoroughly organized throughout the United States. The word in this instance was used by one of those side shows which were always detrimental to the affairs of govern ment and the use of this word nation al should accrue to the party longest established. The side show had barely boiled enough votes at the last general election to permit it @ place as a party.
 J. w. Eaton of Albany, representing the national democratic party, said the only question was whether the demo- cratic party reform organization had the right to change its name, and whether the name confiicted with the name of any other party
 Secretary Palmer was asked for a speedy decision on the protest and said he would try and decide the matter without delay.

It is Said That Ex-Po1iCe Commissioner
 Carlos smith Will be Appointed.
 To-day the fall inspection of the members of the police department will take place on the "Old Green," and if rumors are to be relied upon it is quite probable that the personnel of the force will be different to-day than at the next spring inspection.
 Next Tuesday night, it Is rumored, Superintendent Treadwell Smith will be retired and exCommissioner Carlos Smith will be appointed chief of police. The friends of Captain Wrinn, who have urged him most strongly for the successor of the present superintend- ent, have failed It is also proposed to retire three sergeants at the Grand avenue precinct, Sergeants Bergen, Bradley and McGrath. Other ser geants are said to be on the list for retirement.
 Another change which is contem- plated is the shifting of the command ing officers of the different precincts How extensive this change will be can not be learned.
 The only foundation for the above rumor that could be learned upon in vestigation last evening was that there was an order given out at the Grand avenue precinct during the day that the police commissioners were going to make the department at the Grand avenue station more efficient This de- mand of the board is imperative, and if # cannot be done one way 1t may be done, they say by retiring and remov- ing men from the force.

EYERY YorE REQUIRED.
Congressman Walkers Sensible View oi
 the Political Situation.

New York, Oct. S.-Congressman Jo- seph H.@Walker of Worcester, Mass, called at republican headquarters this afternoon. Speaking of the campaign Mr Walker said: "I am very confl- dent of McKinley's election, but if it was beyond any doubt it would be scarcely less tratorious to the coun- try to relax any effort anywhere.
 'The assault upon the institutions of the republic by the populists who cap- tured the democratic convention in Chicago is far more serious than ill the attack upon Sumpter, April P, 1861. Every vote added to the majority for Mckinley in November aids in the more thorough settling of the Inomentous questions at issue. No word must be left unsaid and no act unperformed which would aid in maintaining in se- curity the beneficent institutions of our country as our fathers founded them" "
