 bate Convention To-Night-Notes

Attorney John J. Walsh, chairman
 of the democratic state central coDl' # mittee, was in Waterbury to-day and ' spent a few hours calling upon friends ] Mir Walsh is personal friend of 5 Father Slocum, and through the cour' ; tesy of the reverend gentleman N Democrat reporter had the pleasure oe
 an introduction to him. While 1t is
 admitted that Mr Walsh is an able q speaker and an entertaining conversa' S tionalist, 1t isn't so generally known A that he is also very attentive listen CT. and as result of this happy facul- ! ty it is safe to state that he carried
 away great deal more information than he imparted to the public. Ha
 wanted to get a line on what is going
 on in Waterbury and appeared much
 more anxious to hear others talk than S to take the floor himself. But MT s Walsh was not wholly uncomml1nica- tive and ill answer to a query from the reporter as to what he thought oI the chances of success for the party 3n Connecticut and through the coun- a try generally, he promptly replied that z he knew we have an excellent ticket land that the democrats have a good l fighting chance to win out, adding tnat l such a thing could be accomplished only by concerted action and unnag l ging effort by the party in every town and hamlet in the state He was not aware of friction in any quarter thar tended to initiate against any partlcu- lar candidate or hamper the success or the ticket as whole and looked TOT ] the undivided strength of the entlfe party and a helping hand from great many others who have come to the conclusion from their own experlence and sense of duty that the time IS ripe for change in state and national l Legislation The national standard ! bearer challenges the admiration Of every thoughtful citizen, stands T squarely on every issue that meets the needs and requirements of capital and labor. and with a candidate of that character and platform pledged to carry out the remedial measures (which the country knows must come before capital and labor can hope 10 walk side by side, he could not see why the result should be in doubt. The issues are plain and the evils complained of and whose existence are not denied even by the party in power. are not of recent date, although they are now more apparent than ever be- fore. and the republicans having had ample time and opportunity to rn- move them. but failed to do so, ought, in MT WaIsh's opinion, be sufficient to point out to every elector where his duty lies. and knowing this, if he neg lects to protect himself then the re sponsibility is lifted from others and placed on his own shoulders.
 MT Walsh met several prominent democrats, heard what they had to say on the political outlook and ap. peared pleased with how things arc progressing in Waterbury.

 s'The course followed by MT DisselI is
 in marked contrast to that pursued hy
 MT Thayer, and shows the difference
 between them. The latter has taken
 his defeat like man, come out
 strongly for Judge Robertson and will
 occupy very prominent and infuen-
 tial position in the campaign. His
 course comments the respect of all
 and, by 1t, he has gained friends in
 every section of the state. As for ] DisselI, - Z
 If the Meriden Journal had only re called it's knowledge of the 'Iady of
 the Lake, it might have expressed more poetically the same sentiment it
 put in the yernacular when it re marked: From all accounts H Wales Lines was sadly missed in
 Hartford last night and today Scott
