BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
Iselin and Upton Equally
Sure Cup Is
Theirs.

New York, Oct. 6-This has been a day
of rest on board the International rae
ers. The feeling on both sides is one OF
confidence. Mr.. Iselin thinks he will
win. Sir Thomas Upton has a nice lit
tie corner in the Erin all ready for the
cup. The two days Of drifting have
furnished almost nothing on which to
base opinion. They have, however,
seemed to strengthen the belief that the
Shamrock is thoroughly dangerous
proposition This is now a well-ground-
ed opinion, and if the two days Of light
air have done anything, it is to dispel
the confident feeling among the Column
bias supporters.
It looks as though the first race to a
finish would come in a good, stiff
breeze. At shutdown the wind was blow
ing hard from the north. The weather
was tearing, and there were good signs
of pretty hard northwestern in the

CAPITALISTS LIKE sHYLOCKs.
William Strauss, representative of the
cigarmakers' unions of New York,
said: "Shakspere in his character, Shy

Several years ago an obscure cigar
manufacturer sought the blue label de-

Senatorial Convention Did Not Nomi-
nate a Candidate.
The convention of the socialist labor
party of the first Worcester senatorial
district was held last night in U. v. L.
hall on Main street, and the strange
part OF the proceeding was that sena-
tor was not nominated by the delegates.
Albert Jones, William Taylor and T. P.
Abbott were nominated in the order
named for the Office, but all declined
with long and enthusiastic speeches on
the prospect of the party in days to
come, and as no one present was anx-
ious to accept the nomination it was
passed over and allowed to go by de-
fault.
The only contest which called for good
political work on the part Ct the dele
gates seemed to lie in the election of a
delegate to the state central committee
and the De Leonite candidate, GA d.
Usher, won out over the anti-De Leon
tie candidate, c. F. Fenner, by six
