ADMINISTER READY TO FIGHT.
The West Haven Constable Claims
 That He Arrested Wheelmen Under

The West Haven Constable Claims
 That He Arrested Wheelmen Under
 the Sanction of Warden Kimberly.
 Constable Hofmeister of West Haven said last evening that he should fight the suits brought by George F. Blake and Arthur BalIou of 196 Grove street, this city, against him for the return of fees collected two weeks ago at the time of the arrest of the young men for the violation of the bicycle ordinance on Kimberly avenue, West Haven.
 The constable says that he had the sanction of both Warden Kimberly and Judge Bryant to make the arrests. He says that he mentioned the subject to Warden Kimberly two weeks prior to the date of the arrests, asking him if the law warranted it. He was told by the warden that he would be acting within the scope of the ordinance if he arrested the wheelmen who rode on the dead path"
 Hofmeister claims that when he took the men before Judge Bryant, the judge told them to pay the constable his fees

DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.
New Londons Rlotous Caucus-Ex-
 Governor Waller.


 New London, Aug, sO,-Now that the excitement over the democratic caucus of Friday night has somewhat abated the democratic town committee has be- gun to look about, and they find that they will be obliged to do some substi- tuting in the list of delegates to the state, congressional and senatorial con- ventions. Several of those who were elected at the rlotous caucus have since declared their intention of refusing to accept the charges bestowed upon them. In one or two instances these refusals are directly due to the treat ment which ex-Governor Waller was given at the hands of the caucus off, cers. Others had determined in ad- vance that they would not serve as delegates if elected

THERE are a great many
arguments that might be
used against Mckinley and
his tariff, but to our mind the
best and only one necessary
to convince the most stub
born, is the fact that McKin-
ley himself busted under the
operation of hls notorious bill
and was forced to make an
assignment for $500, 600,
If Mckinley could not
survive the operation OF his
own tariff measures it would
seem to be a very poor thing
to offer the people.

Honest, ThOWgh EnthaSi-

THE men who carried the
Chicago platform weredoubt-
less affected by such a wave
of emotional excitement as
sometimes sways great re-
ligious gatherings, but they
were not lunatlcs or revolu-
tionists. They were selfre-
specting American citizens
who detest anarchy, abhor
reputation, and occupy
their present attitude with
the clearest consciences and
strongest convictions that
have swayed their political
action at any time for many
years. Let the facts be
faced and told. The moral
superiority in the convention
did not lie with the master
full politicians of the Hill and
Whitney type, who went to
Chicago with the impression
that they might, through
long experience in conven-
tion management, divide the
ranks of the free silver ma
jority and secure a compro-
mise result. Against the
earnestness, openness, and
almost fanatical intensity of
the free silver majority, the
calculating politicians were
simply helpless. The silver
men had gone to Chicago to
control the convention in the
interest of their cause, and
not to wrangle about the RI
val claims of candidates.
The great consideration with
them was to make sure OF the
platform. After that they
were willing to trnst to tie
wisdom of the hour for a
standard-bearer. When we
express these opinions OF the
marvellous representation at
sChicago of a certain type OF
American citizenship lifted
to TIC height Of an almost
matchtess enthusiasm under
the spell>of an idea passion
ately entertained it does not
follow for a moment that we
consider enthusiasm to be a
safe guide in the field OF
monetary science IRON
