 The Republican State Central com mittee will hold meeting at the Allyn house, in Hartford, next Mon day night Shortly afterward the call for the forthcoming state conven- tion will be issued. The call will make alfusion to possible change in the basis of future state conventions, so that the September convention can properly consider the matter if it should choose to do SO
 Mir Thayers address to the demo cratic state committee is clear, patri- otic and foreible. He shows plainly the general course, he follows as can- didate, and this speech with the letter, printed in Saturdays Times, in which he announced his candidacy, give the people of the state a view of his char, acter and purpose that is wholly to his credit. Up to the present < time MT Cary has been the better known of the two avowed candidates for the nomina- ton, but in that particular matters are evening up.-Haftford Times.
 Mayor Kilduff's lieutenants are doing some tall hustling these days, and if he fails to secure the nomination for county sheriff the fault will not rest with them. It seems the Kilduff boom has been worked with more vigor thus far in other places than in Waterbury. Probably this was because his packers supposed he was sure Of the local field. But the boys have now buckled on their armor and gone into the fray with a determination worthy of true demo- cratic warriors.
 Editor Troup has his hammer out again. Writing about the meeting of the democratic state committee at Sayin Rock, he says: sgThe attempt to interview the members of the commit tee on the reaffirmation of the national democratfc platform adopted at Kan sas City, revealed but little inforIna- tion. Most of the members were non, committal. There was no doubt from the attitude of many of the members, a disposition to evade the question, but like Banquo's ghost it will not down It Is still with us. All attempts to ig- nore it will not be productive of har- mony and will not ensure victory, There can be no harmony between the advocates of the single gold standard and the loyal democrats who favor the Kansas City platform there is an ir- repressible conflict on the issue, and it must be fought out.
 George l.. Lilley has another oppoJ- elt in his own party for the nolniaa- ton for congressman at large. This candidate is Marcus Holcomb. of the firm of Holcomb and Pierce, attorneys in Hartford. He is also treasurer of Hartford county. MT Holcomb is looked upon as a formidable candidate, not by friends of MT Lilley, however but by the prominent republicans of 1 Hartford county. The other rival of Mir IIilley is MT Frisbie of Talcott and | Frisbie, wholesale druggists and a member of the State Central Repub- liean committee. Friends of MT Lil- ley say that he never expected walk over for the nomination, but on the. contrary a severe fight, but notwith- standing this they are certain he will 1 be the nominee for this office. MT Lilley has yet to be. heard from on trusts, and there is no doubt that he will say he is not in sympathy with them. But this will hardly satisfy the average and thinking elector. Di- rect and untiring opposition to the trusts is what will be demanded by the democrats, whatever the repub1i- cans do.

 The republicans are not through yet talking about the roast Teddy Bigger staff gave them. It seems strange that Mir Biggerstaff's few remarks should have caused such a commotion. As matter of fact the man simply reiterated, so far as the trolley com pany is concerned, what has been said by others on and off since the traction people commenced to get con trol of the public streets. About the only thing one can say on the subject is that MT Biggerstaff gave expression to the truth in rather out of the way place, but this isn't what bothers those who got hit, though they may try to make it appear so. Why Waterbury is up against the conditions Mir Big gerstaff complained of at the present time. Hasn't the city entered an ap- peal to the superior court with view to saving itself from the trolley peo- pie. The mayor and board of alder men cut no ice in these matters, and because man happened to say so people who know it to be true feel called upon to find faIilt with him. There are people in Waterbury to-day xvho xva11Id <rfuo 4h0 F1.o1lox1
