 Wasn't Asked to Speak.
 The big parade of the labor 0rganiza- tions will takep lace Monday starting from the green at 12:30 and promises to be the most successful thing of the kind ever attempted in this city. Most of the places of business about town will be closed so that it is certain that the number of spectators will be large.
 A little difference has sprung up be- tween the committee and some of the members of the unions regarding the propriety of having the city depart ment represented in the parade which is indirectly responsible for the absence of the Bricklayers' and Masons' union in the parade. Then again some met MT Sandiford yesterday and wanted to know why Mayor Kilduff and other notables had been invited to take part in the parade while other equally prom inent citizens, Dr Hayes in particular, had not been similarly honored These matters have caused some trouble, but it is not thought that they will inter fere seriously with the success of the day. The committee takes the ground that Mayor Kilduff has been invited as matter of courtesy to the chief mag istrate of the city, because he is mayor of the city, not on account of the fact that he is being talked of as candi- date for that office They claim that l if they should invite every man who 1 has been mentioned as candidate for mayor and other positions in the gift l of the people they would not know where to stop, and in any case they 1 claim that the parade and picnic have no political significance whatever and that they do not wish it to be under stood as having any, Representative Guilfoile, Senator Kennedy and others have been asked to speak on account of the positions they hold.
 | The street department is a nine hour day body and the committee thought I that the members of that department would not be out of place in the parade and invited them to participate la While it is not likely that these mat ters, will amount, to much still they ] have ,oecasioned ,as good deal of tall and n0 doubt the committee would giv, fIla good dealIif, suoh9bad feeling had no \ lenopped out i Talking on theb subjec

 possible effort was made not to d.
 anything that would give any one
 chance to charge us with favoring an,
 particular man or party, but it seem , that some people got the notion int their heads that the invitation to til
 mayor was slight upon others wh
 are aspiring to the position he holds
 Now I want to say that this is mis Istake.a We asked E.. G. Kilduff becaus } Ihe is mayor of Waterbury and a sim l lar invitation would have been extend ed to anybody else that might hay
