 Republican papers are reminding
 their party voters that unless they
 elect republican representatives, Sena-
 tor Platt will not be reelected. 1t is years since they had to worry about
 the majority in the general assembly,
 but this reminder shows they do not
 feel easy this year, even as to the legislature. If they are doubtful
 about that, what must they be about
 the state icket?-Hartford Tines.
 Candidate Homer Cummings writes

 During the past week vender was about town selling campaign pln II was a simple looking affair, cut ol coal hod with the word Empty marked on it. Whether the pin was : intended as a campaign speech or not : l ,7xy fr11 it was a very fitting reminder to the people of Waterbury of the conditions that obtain here to-day regarding the : coal question. The democrats bought , the mans whole stock and he went his way rejoicing. 1t was noticed that , whenever the yender approached re ] publican he got a mighty cool recep !. ton, and it is said that he came neal being mobbed by three or four dyed in-the-wool party heelers, who charged him with being here in the interest," of the democrats, and wanted to know : if he had a license to do business oI 2 the public streets. That empty hot : furnishes a good object lesson for tn
