.MAYORALTY RACE GETTING WARMER.
Supporters of Lynch In Second Ward fad Big Rally Last NghThe
 Thoms Men Also In the Second Held Pow-WOw.

ment over the fourth ward rally held there the night before. Thomas Coyle of Hawkins street presided and Attor- ney Lawlor was secretary. Here, again, the report about the occupants Of the City hall being "out' bag and baggage against the working mans candidate was verified Dr hee-ey was conspicuous at the meeting ln- strumental, in fact in getting it. He is milk inspector and an occupant of the City hall. So is Attorney Lawlor. as president of the board of health. City Treasurer Gibson and Garbage Collector Rigney, all City hall men, and all ''out'' for MT Thoms- It seems only consistent that they should be so, however safe or unsafe for them It may turn out to be. The Lynch sup porteEs are not in practical politics yet; they are merely trying to get in, and it may be that were conditions reversed Messrs Gibson, Lawlor, Rigney, Har- die, McMahon, ct al, who have thrown their fortunes with Mir Thoms, would throw them with MT Lynch were he Ill MT Thoms's place. Almost all office
  date who is in office against the whole field. This feature in politics should reach Waterbury some time and 1t IS just as well that it has got here thls wear as any other year. Next cam paign, perhaps. will see hremen anu policemen and school teachers in the game. Why not? Is not their 'job' political. and why should not their A Uh them? It is done everywhere else and if will be done here. It is only mat ter of time, just like the office holders aIiening themselves with MT Thoms this year. ..
 There was speechmakfng at this meeting. just as there was at all the others that have been held so far. and there was a committee appointed to draw ID a ticket and to report next Friday evening, when another meeting will be held.
 If Dr Keeley has the true sporting blood in him he will turn over to the support of MT Lynch. Yesterday ne played with Attorney Minor game of unoits to see which of the candidates should be nominated. Attorney Minor is a Lynch man and he won eleven games out of fourteen. Now every body who khows of the matter is both ering the doctor about the result of the game and his skill as quoit throWer, and say that If he has the right kind of sporting blood he will help to nom mate MT Lynch.
 It is apparent that the days are over in this city when office holders can sIt on the fence and look upon a campaign as boy looks at his spinning top, for mostly all of the occupants of the City hall have taken sides one way or the other in this very interesting and lively campaign. Signs and facts point to the truth of rumor that was pretty well circulated before the campaign broke out as warm as it is now. It was then said that the days are com Ing when New York methods will be employed When policemen and aE appointive officials must turn to-" as a well known city official says when he flies into literature Even school teach CTS. the rumor said, would soon be com peIled to s4turn. to" and give the admin igtration a helping hand And on the hsce of it nothing could hardly be more proDer. Every once in while It Is said that 1t would be a good thing to take this office and that office out Of politics. but the fact that every day in wolves an office in the game that was never thought of being hit upon Ev- erything is politics and everyDody plays politics It cannot be denied, and there is no need or nse for anyone tn~attempt to deny it. Everything is politics.
