Waterbury Democrat., 1901-10-12

Editor Wells of the Hartford Post, who formerly did editorial work in Waterbury, is staunch republican, and that is why, perhaps, more than for any other reason, that he would like to see General Kellogg sent to the constitutional con vention. Waterbury people have soft spot in their hearts for their remarkable townsman, but as he is a republican and the majority of the people of this town are demo- crats, it seems no more than right and proper that democrat should be sent to the convention. Notwithstanding that this city is democratic, in a few weeks the three fattest plums to be given out will go to the republicans, and it is all because the republicans have divided us up to their liking and fixed our boards so that they can par take of the crumbs even though they are in the minority Waterbury's vote may not count for much ill the convention, perhaps, but even so we should be represented by democrat.
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-10-12

 A Washington correspondent writes as follows about the boss of the New York state republicans: With | beaming face Senator Thomas c. Platt says that absolute harmony exists be- tween President Roosevelt and him. self on all questions of New York and
 national politics. As stated in a re- cent letter President Roosevelt in- vited Senator Platt to come to Wash
 ington for a conference and accord ingly on Sunday last the chief of the New York republican organization
 presented himself at the white house just in time for evening dinner.
 Aside from the fact that Mrs Roose- welt presided at the dinner table,
 most gracefully" the senator assured
 me he and the president spent the en-
 tire time from five i'll the evening un-
 iii ten D. m. alone and together. Mon-
 day I called on Senator Platt at his apartments in the Arlington and re- ceived the above information. My
 conference with President Roosevelt last night was satisfactory ill the ex- treme,'' were the words the senator used. .'We are i'll perfect accord on new York politics and have a complete understanding on all questions relat- ing to party affairs Speaking of the municipal campaign he said, MT Low elected and will lend us such as sistance as is possible and proper
 Shepard will formally accept the Tam many nomination this evening and l think we can keep him busy explain ing why he did it right up to election day" MT Platt refused to be quoted on the subject of tariff revision and contented himself with saying that it was not surprising that MT Payne was averse to it as ''it would mean great deal of work for Mir Payne" He declared that he was in good health, although" he laughingly remarked, s'there is something amiss with my sea legs. The only yacht race I at tended I was obliged to witness by proxy, as I spent the entire time in my berth'' Notwithstanding the sen ator's assurance that he is in good health, he has aged even since 1 saw him last March It is probable that this conference will prove decided relief to those politicians who have been waiting with keen anxiety for some indication of MT Roosevelt's at titude towards the party organization.

HEARD IN PASSING

 The hemp inquiry is about completed and the senators who compose the com mission seem to be much of one opin- ion in regard to it, and that is tha, the yellow" journals made a noun tain out of mole hill and they have been compelled to waste valuable time Investigating the contemptible little pile of dirt.
 The bureau of navigation gives 1t out officially that Admiral Sampson has returned to his Washington resi- -dence and that he reported to the bu- reau immediately upon his arrival. lie is suffering from aphasia, which means that while his mind is capable of all other mental processes, the expression of his ideas in words is to a large eX- tent an impoSsibility.
 New rumors are heard daily as to the details of the entente reached by England and the state department con- corning the Isthmian canal These rumors generally originate in the mind of some imaginative newspaper cor respondent and are pure conjecture. No reliable information is obtainable at present, but we are i'll a position to secure the first that is and will keep you advised.
 As predicted there would be, large number of people are trying to impose on MT Roosevelt by claiming that MT Mckinley had ''at least encouraged them to believe" that he would do this or that, but in these instances the presidents wisdom in retaining the services of Mir Cortelyou, who, by the way, is a very methodical man, stands him in good stead. In any event, MT Roosevelt is not man to be easily imposed upon.
