Interesting Meeting and Dis.
 cussion Yesterday
ATTORNEY LYNCH FOR MAYOR

Work Will Be Commenced at Once to Facilitate Matters For Getting Out
 Vote at Primaries -The Meeting Was Largely Attended and All Pres-
 ent Are Determined to Work With Will.
 The Economic league held an ens thusiastic meeting last night and out lined plans for getting out the vote at the primaries. A committee of three from the different districts will get to- gether in G. A. R. hall next Wednes- day night and decide upon what they. believe the best thing to do in the premises and report back to the gem eral body as soon as possible. SevA eral stirring addresses were made by members from almost every section of the city, all favoring concerted action at the primaries with a view to being in a position to nominate men for the different offices to be filled this fail who will command public confdence and by this means succeed in earrvinN the election While no2hing very definite has been learned with refers
 
 sd1date for mayor. it appears to he Qe4l- erally understood that the oruaniza- t1on favors the nomination Of Attorney James M. Lynch for the position ans4 intends to use every means in its pow CT to place him at the head of fhe tick ct and see that he is elected bv big majority. One of the members told a Democrat reporter that the tall@ about clash between the league and the old line democrats, so-called. is alt nonsense and is being used with a view to stirring up strife among peo- pie who might be expected to vote for any candidate suspected of p0ssessif,n even semlblance of democratic feSlz dencies whether he happens to be aI1 old line democrat or a member of the Economic league.
 The other side,'' he added ssis ms idle and one of their schemes is to be- gln by putting it around that the leaQs uers are aiming to down the demo- cratic party, and also that the demos crats are working tooth and nail f0 sldetrack the 1eaguers I hone f3la working people will not be nlisled bv this kind of tactics After the pri4aar- les are held and the delegates name the1r choice the working men of Wa terDury ought to know what to do with ti1elr votes, and unless mistake pulp llc sentiment it will require more than fhe usual amount of newspaper talk and political engineering in other wavg 10 set them against each other: With the right men on fhe ticket see no reason why the working people of this town should not elect a man to every office to be filled this year. While stsppose the mayoralty will be the storm center, still it should be borne in mind that there are other important places to be filled and trust the vot- CTS will take enough interest in them to give us a chance for a time at least in the personnel of the board of alder men,
 This is in line with what one hears on all sides and if the good feeling now manifest can be maintained until election the chance for democratic suc+ cess never was brighter.

AGITATION IS USELESS
No Hope of Influencing Russia
 at Present

Treatment of the Jews Topic of Lord
 Mayors Discussion-The Czar Anx-
 tous to Give Jews Religious Liber-
 ties, But There are Other Things to
 Overcome.
 London, June 29.--Lord Mayor Sam uel. in speech yesterday at the prize distribution or the religious ciasses aJ one Of London's synagogues, said it was quite useless to bring agitation to bear in the hope of influencing RusSia~in re- gard to the treatment of the Jews. Their brethren In Australia, animated by the most generous feelings, had sent money and had passed a resolution which 1t became his duty to submit to the foreign office. In following their wishes he was aware what the result would be. Therefore he was not sur prised when assured that this was an ~internal matter and that the foreigu office could do nothing.
 The Jews of this country, the lord mayor continued, desired for their brethren in Russia religious equality, and he believed he was right in saying the czar was most anxious that the boon should be extended to his Hebrew subjects. But there were other dif6- culties to overcome. The case was diff ferent from that of Roumania, where treaty rights were violated. Russia was under no treaty obligations and was free to manage her internal af- fairs as she thought best. It3was only by appealing to the better side of the Russian nation, and there was very large better, side, that they could hope to awaken that sense of right which, he was convinced, no amount of agita tion could bring about.
 The @ord mayor concluded with ask ing the Jewish community to believe he had the interests of their persecuted brethren at heart and not to miscon- strue his meeing inactivity.
 In this connection it has transpired that shortly after the Kishenef out break the Russian embassy conveyed a personal assurance to the lord mayor that if he would discountenance anti Russian agitation in London he could depend not only that there would be no repetition of such attacks on the Jews, but that measures would be un- dertaken to generally improve their position in Russia.
