The statement that +. p. Cross, re-
publican candidate for representative,
was one of the first to yield to the de-
mands Of the machinists was repeated
again to-day. There is no truth IN
it. Mr. Cross was one of the bitterest
men in Waterbury against the de-
mands of the machinists and every
member of the craft in Waterbury is
aware of this. The Waterbury Buckle.
Co was the first factory in the city to
give the machinists half holiday,
not Cross & Speirs. The firm Mr.
Lines works for didn't recognize the
union at all.
The republican papers have been
stating that the laboring men are OPP
posed to the reelection of Senator
William Kennedy, that champion OF
the rights of the workingmen, who
has ever fought for their interests,
who was termed by Attorney Cassidy
the Connecticut John Mitchell. Well,
the editors OF those papers should
have heard the applause, the cheering
which the name of Senator Kennedy
received every time, it was mentioned
by a speaker at the rally on Saturday
night. And they should have heard
the ovation which he received when
he appeared to make one Of his
strong speeches. Rousing speeches
were made by Attorney Francis p.
GuilfoiIe, Attorney Cassidy, Judge
Lowe, Leonard Asheim and others.
Attorney Carmody was chairman. The
speakers spoke from the veranda OF
ex-Alderman Daniel Foley's house at
the corner Of Baldwin and Bridge
streets.
"Voters, in conclusion, I would urge
you to bury Fred Cross on election
day, place a Lilley on his grave-jt
will be hard Lines, but the republican
party deserves it." This was the
unique manner in which John j. Bro
| ply, one of the workingmen's candi-
dates for representative on the demo-
cratic ticket, finished fine speech at
the democratic rally held on Baldwin
street, near the corner of Bridge
street, on Saturday night The large
crowd voiced their approval Of the
| sentiment expressed in the above
words by cheering loudly. Mr.
Brophy denounced the manifold
IHuISHlCleS- WHICH the = CITY oI
Waterbury has suffered from
"a republican legislature. He spoke
of the way in which the
city had been re-districted in order
that City Attorney Kellogg might re-
tain his fat job and the board of al
dermen might continue republican.
| He asked the voters to consider
whether the great corporation, the
Scovill Manufacturing Co, would allow
Mr. Lines to go to tile legislature and
vote for bill which would be in the
interests of the workingmen. Would
Mr. Cross vote for the interests of the
workingmen? Not if he were the
same Mr. Cross who during the past
summer refused a nine hour day or a
half-holiday to the machinists enl-
ployed by him when other manufactur-
ing concerns were granting such
| things to their employees.

INGENIOUS FLIM-FLAM.
A Scheme that Has Puzzled Even the
UD-tO-Date Barkeeper.

A Scheme that Has Puzzled Even the
Up-to-Date Barkeeper.
''The thing in the way Of f1im-fam
now, and the real thing said an old
detective, /" is away ahead of any of
the old tricks know anything about.
1t has been worked but once in New
Orleans as far as I know, and il it
has ever been worked in any other
place do not know anything about
it. The business of finding a pocket
book, Sspringing the pigeon as it was
called; the lock trick, which, by the
way, is one of the smoothest of the
whole list and all the others are cheap
and clumsy in comparison with the
clever scheme that was worked on
downtown barkeeper a few evenings
ago. It shows one thing, and that is
that the criminal classes are quite as
active mentally and otherwise as men
who are engaged in the decent callings
of life. They are probably more act
i've mentally than the men who are
ground into hollow grooves because of
ceaseless toiling in an effort to keep
the wolf from the door. The new
him-ham scheme is wonderfully sim
pie, and is worked with paper money. A
ST. and So bill are needed. OF course,
bills of higher denomination could be
used, but the two men who worked
the trick here used the bills of the first
denominations 81 and So bill. 1t
is worked in this way: One of the
men will write in thin lettering on the
back of the S. bill what is supposed
to be a list of his laundry For in
stance, in this way: One shirt. two
collars, two pairs of cuffs. He will
go into saloon when there is rush
on in order to further minimize the
possibilities Of the barkeeper's detect
ing the scribbling on the bill and will
call for drink.
"The money is put In the drawer,
the man gets his drink and his change
and walks out. Directly his partner
walks in, calls for a glass Of beer and
tenders a 81 bill in payment The
barkeeper throws out 95 cents in
change. You made mistake, old
man. the purchaser will say; L gave
you So BILL A polite wrangle fol-
lows. The fellow in insistent. says
he only had one piece Of money, and
that was So bill, and he remembers
to have jotted down list of his laun-
dry on the back of it. He calls for
the boss, tells him of the dispute, and
asks him to see il he has a So bill
with sone shirt, two collars, two pairs
of cuffs written on it in pencil. Sure
enough, the bill is found and the man
gets his 1896 in change. This is the
scheme they worked on the man down
town, and he had no idea he had been
swindled until he thought over it for
some time and then the whole plot
| dawned on him. 1t is a clever scheme,
| but one that will not last, as barkeep-
ers are aWfully quick to get on to
| tricks Of this sort
