DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ARE IN TOWN.

 Notes Up and Down the Valley

Senator Carmack, who will speak in City hall tonight. delivered master ly address at Stamford last night. He dealt the trusts some telling blows. Everybody should hear him.
 The Hon Amos $. Cummings or Stamford will havessomething interest in gto say to the people of Waterbury at City hall tonight. Cummings IS said to have an interest in the cement trust. If SO of course he will tell us all about it. But if he enlightens us on the other trusts we won't care how little he says about cement. People don't use much cement on their tables. You can buy a barrel of Rosendale for $1.20, and one meal of it would last man his lifetime. Meat hasn't the staying powers of cement, and on this account we want it oftener,
 Disheartened by what they term the perfdy of Mayor Stephen Charters, but not deterred the committee of the Economic labor party met in their rooms in Polls building last night, says the New Haven Palladium, to perfect their plans for the third ticket they still are determined to put into the field. At the conclusion of the
 meeting it was announced that candi- dates had been found for all places, 1 including the one left vacant by the withdrawal of MT Charters. and that the names would be announced Thurs l day night The delay, it was said, is l to permit each candidate to read the platform and assure himself that he is willing to stand on it, and to enable the committee to secure written -ac- ceptances from each prospective nomi- nee. These acceptances will be filed with the secretary of state as the law requires, at least 10 days before the election is held.
 Senator Dillingham; Iabored hard l last night to lift the weight of the mis- chief the meat trust. has done the peo- pie of Waterbury off the shoulders of the Honorable MT Lilley, but he made very poor job of it and as result Lilley is in a worse box to-day than ever. The Vermont ma4 said that within a recent date the wholesale price of meat had dropped from SIP per hundred to SC per hundred. If l this be true the marketman or the To- cal wholesalers must be robbing their neighbors. The consumers are still paying the high prices and butchers claim that they will be obliged to keep I up the old figures until the houses they deal with come down. It looks now as if the hardships we are suffering on account of the cost of meat is due to the greed of MT Lilley and a couple of others about town, and not to the Chi cago corporation. That republican rally was big hit for the democrats.
 It is amusing to note the efforts of l the Hon Mir Lilley and his friends to convince the public that he is no part of the meat trust and that the trust has nothing to do with his affairs. l Some time ago he denied emphatically that he had penny invested in the big Chicago meat corporation and the 1 people took his word for it. Now in order to disabuse the people of the no tiOn that the trust land himself ever T did business together he comes for
 ward and declares that Swift & Go
 own nothing in his firm. Which firm, MT Lilley? Do you mean, to tell us that Swift & Go own nothing in the firm of Lilley, Swift & Go? If not
 the company must have gone apart in
 double quick time. Why, it is only the other day since you authorized the statement that the Swifts had request I ed you to put price on your interest
 in the firm in Waterbury. If Swift &
 Go own nothing in the firm of Lilley
 Swift 6 Go, then Lilley must have
 bought out Swift 6 Co within the past
 two months.
