 Mir GuiIfOile's majority of j90 is tEe biggest ever heard of at special elec- ton in Waterbury, and shows Eery plainly where the people stand on the question of reform. The democrats may not be able to accomplish much at this convention, but it is well to have as many of them as possible there, and if they are not sent from democratic towns and cities. where will they come from? What republi can town has elected a democrat io represent it at the convention. The idea of the republicans trying to talk the democrats into choosing repunii- can to represent Waterbury was sim ply prepOSterOuS. and now that the peo- pie have been heard from on the ques- tiOn there can't be any doubt as to
  town desire. It was q fair contest, and if the republicans wanted Gen eral Kellogg all they had to do was to step out and vote for him. They didn't do 1t, though. and in consequence 1t is no gueSSwOrk to state that they pre- ferred Mir Guilfoile. There WAS great rejoicing as soon as the result be- came known. Moderator D. F. FitZ- patrick announced the vote in the City hall building about o'clock. and in less than half an hour after that it had been heralded an over town and people were throwing their hats in the air at every place where men had come together to discuss the probable outcome of the battle
