Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-09-26

are cheerful losers. We will work as hard, If not harder, for Lynch froanH now until election day as some of those persons who were shouting cne loudest for him last night''
 This mornings mail brought a very flattering communication to MT Lynch from w. D. Thoms, who stdted that he will be out of town over Sunday, butt that he will be home from that time onf until after election and will be at Mir Lynch's services in any capacity in which he can make himself useful to- wards furthering his success at the polls. Nobody expected anything else from MT Thoms. He's a democrat.
 At an early hour this nnorning exs Senator Kennedy sent the following over the wire to Mir Lynch:
 To James M. Lynch, Democratic Cane
 siidate for Mayor:
 I congratulate you on the splendid victory you won last night as demo- cratic candidate for mayor of W1abeas~ bury. Everything indicates your cleo tion. Anything I can do for yous command 1ne. Yours respectfully,

 A number of the delegates to thd city convention from the second ward have expressed a willingness to naaka the nomination of Mir Lynch u1axi- mous. This suggestion appears to be quite popular in the ward and that tt will meet with the approval of Dlr Thoms there is no question. The rot suit was 60 clean and clear-cdt fhat mo disquietmg effects have been left beSs hind, and this is evident in the dispo- sition of the second ward delegats.
 The republican city and town con ventlons will be held Monday .ni g}lt The party is at sea on the mAyorHlt9 question. They want to capture that berth, but prudent men who have been asked to accept the nomination ara said to have declined stle honor with thanks, each giving a reason of his own for not wanting to run this year, Some of those who have beea1 ap- preached and requested to lead the forlorn hope got out of 1t by stating that they had no time to attend to the job; others claimed they had no ta ste. ]. for politics; all had some excuse and now 1t is said an appeal is beinE naada for someone to step into the breach and accept the nomination so that lthH party may not have to go begging foi a candidate. Blakesiee can have it "A he cares to face the music. but he is said to be somewhat doubtful 0f s1lc* cess and has not yet decided what he will do. An effort is being made to have John F. Elton of the Waterbury Brass Go get into the harness. but whether MT Elton wiM yield to the ez1S treaties of the political wire pullers o1l the republican party or not is still question. There is a feeling abrGad that Lynch will be elected and Goll{ servative republicans are of the oEtp{ ion that the man who is to be sacSit feed should be someone who has been in politics sand profited by 1t, radthea than man who has made his ways through the world in other walks sot life. It looks as if the people ara willing to give the new men a trial and if this. be true nothing that max be said will change their rninds.
 There is the best of feeling aborN town to-day among democrats over t1A primaries and if this can he, main4 tained until after election therescan b4 no doubt about the result no natte4 who heads the republican ticket. WI D. Thonls, MT Lynch's rival for th{ nomination for mayor on the deunof cratic ticket, has pledged himseH fs do all in his power to help the wir ming ticket, and all the other men whs have been shouting for Thoms for thf past few weeks and fought into tht last ditch with him are now out fO1 Lynch, so tha,t the outlook for gxeaf democratic victory is very bright aua unless the republicans succeed in getf ting the boys divided the democraft will be in the ascendancy in the citJ government next year They will elect the mayor and all the other cqns didates, including enough aldermen td give them a working majority in thnl board, and if this happens the party will be in a position where 1t will ba responsible for the management of thu affairs of this town for two years, condition which we have not seen in years, if ever, the republicans alwaya holding the key to the situation in thu aldermanic chamber. H. NJ. Rigney ~ Waterville who almost turned that place upside down yesterday in the ins terest of Thoms, said to-day that ht didn't work one jot harder for Thoms than he intends to battle for Lynch o1 election day and D. ]. Mahaney de clares that he fought and got licked is satisfied to abide by the will of thu people, and intends to make himselt as useful as he possibly can be N Lynch from now om This Is the war everybody who opposed Lynch at thu primaries feels. Tn addition to this many who took no interest in the pfil mary contest have now donned theh war paint and gone to work with vengeance for the choice of the people A large number of electors didn't car to take sides and concluded to wait un til the smoke of the battle of the prf maries had cleared away before show ing their hands. Now that public opin ion has set the seal of it's approvd upon Lynch, tin,id ones are coming u( tha9 front. and inside of twenty-fou hours the party will have all It's mem hers and many nf fra fyicr1Y7x f,, y} rx3,4 x
