have perfected the organization OF a Nc

In the matter.
Mr.. Jeremiah Goff prominent mem Der
Of the Democratic town committee was
seen yesterday and questioned as to the
why and wherefore OF this alleged lack
of enthusjasm.on the part OF the leading
spirits of the Democracy in this town.
There are several reasons" he replied. In
the first place you gold bug monopolists
and "crushers" of the people have got all
the money, and it takes money TO run
these things as well as enthusiasm. Then
again, neither Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Sewall, Mr..
Watson, nor the national committee
sent US any funds to assist in making free
silverites out of you fellows, and further,
under the circumstances we can't afford
the expenses Of buying flags, banners, etc.,
and advertising Mr.. Bryan and Sewall
when we are not positive that we know
where Mr.. Sewall Is at. II We should start
of In this way, things might change and
we should have TO begin all over again,
take down our banners and flags and sub
stitute the name of Watson for Sewall. or
course you know that Mr.. Bryan is swing
ing around the eastern horizon and will
soon reach Maine where he will hold
conference with tie Bath shipbuilders
ana bankers, and OF course IL Mr.. Bryan
feels confident that he is going to be
elected, and in view Of this situation,
should promise Mr.. Sewall cabinet po-
tition, then Mr.. Sewall might agree to
step down and out and give Mr.. watson
the poll. You see the position we are In,
and we have thought it best to bottls up
our enthusiasm until this latter matter Is
settled when we shall know where we are
and then go ahead.
Surveyors in the employ OF the New
YORK. New Haven & Hartford Railroad
were engaged yesterday in laying out
plans for the construction of an ad-

end Of the station to connect tho main

company would plan and erect shed or
some kind of covering over the south
platform where all transfers of passengers
TO and from Bristol and Fall River are
made, thus protecting its patrons from
the inclemeng of the weather, it would
be greatly appreciated.
