/ JourHed without transacting any BUSH
ness. Mi Lynch said that one end in
view In bringing together the dele

the league was to give them an OPP
1 portunity of becoming better acuuaint-
ca. He said there were no pledged

The Compounce pow-wow the other
day, when the Crocodile club held its
annual roast, brought together about
al the republicans In the state that
nave their nets out. Here is what the
New Britain Herald says of our towns
man, George l.. Lilley, and his rival
for the position of congressman-at-
large, Mr. Frisbie of Hartford: 'Mr
Lllley'of Waterbury and Mr. Frisbie of
Hartford were equally resplendant.
Each was attired In a refreshing suit
Of linen and Mr. Frisbie made an en-
livening effect by getting behind a
necktie of carmine hue. Mr. Lilley
shook hands with three men at once,
and his million dollar smile seemed as
permanent feature of the occasion as
the toasted corn. Mr. Frisbie was
genial, but less effusively SO. He was
more inclined to seduce some one out
of the crowd for minutes quiet chat
After a while they met, did Lilley and
F'risbie. 1t was in front of the bar
room. and when they clasped hands
Mr. Lilley's left arm entwined itself
lovingly about Mr. Frisbie's neck, and
the Hon John Crilley Of Hartford was
heard to murmur, 'Oh, for a camerav
1T was noticeable that both Mr. Lilley
and Mr. Frisbie devoted particular att
tention to the New Britain gentlemen.
Town Clerk Penfield has never been
accused of being a politician, but the
rival candidates sought him out for an
exchange of quiet condolences; and as
for Tom Brady, he from his vantage
of democratic pinnacle, had jolly

that he might take the notion to be the
democratic candidate and go to Wash
ington himself this winter Mr. Lilley
promised to make visit to New Brit
ain in week or so and give the ma
tives a chance to become acquainted
with his urbane countenance and fault
lessly attired figure. AS for Mr. Fris-
bic. he has already been here, and 1t is
admitted that he has made favorable
impression"
