 People who think everybody is in fa- Nor of the striking miners make a big mistake as one can see by calling at tention to the subject from time to time where men of different minds meet. This morning a few business men were discussing the coal situation In Exchange place when one of them pitched into the strikers without gloves and declared that he hoped Governor Stone would order every one or them shot. He said they are the Fellows who took most stock in the TuH dinner pail cry of the republican stump speakers at the last general eiecuons and that he had strong sus- plelOn that even after all they are now going through they will allow them selves to be duped again the next time the trusts and combines want their votes. He considered the working people the biggest stumbling block in The way of reform calculated to bene- At themselves and went on to prove this by quoting figures to show that were 1t not for the large number of parties under various names that draw The votes of the working people which would naturally be cast for the demo- crats, if these tickets were not in the held the republicans would not be in the ascendancy all the time. In fact ne made it pretty plain to those about nlm that the republican party owes Its long lease of power to the efforts or men who have always posed as be- ing among it's bitterest foes, and cited the case of Mayor Charters of Ansonia. who captured the Waterbury deIega- lion to the democratic shrieyalty con Vent1on while at the same time hay ing 1n mind cutting the party's throat by running on third ticket provided he Tailed to secure the nomination rom the democrats. Of course this IS one way of looking at it, but it should be remembered that although The striking miners were hoodwinked by the full dinner pail orators, others got fooled Dy them as we'll as the min CTS and probably the lesson may prove penehclal to them in the future as well as to those who suspected there was nothing in the pail and upon in Vesugatlon found that they had made no mistake.
