 Whether nlachine-made or hand made, 1t Is all the same to William Travers Jerome. He is temperament- ally opposed to all tickets They smell of regularity and are rank of restric- tons upon Individuality. So why should MT Jerome be expected to sup port Justice Herrick7 It is only with the greatest difficulty that Mir Jerome can support himself when a nomina- tion has been thrust upon him. Had MT Jerome himself been the conven- tion's nominee for govefhor 1t is Jn- likely that he would have given the ticket more than q psrfinctory public support, Iti private he would have warned his friends against the whole ctew.-New York World.
 .Bnry the wires, bury everything, even your own personal interests" is the ely oh Ill sides How, and listen to the republican, office holders appeal for another lease of their fat !berths.. Con gressman Sperry is very thoughtful of the wotlcing peoples condition just now and ih order to make things pleas ant for them he is mailing literature to Waterbury by the ton. Some of the documents were passed around in the shops yesterday. This will help peo- pie through. the winter. What work ing mati will Stop to think of the price of coal flour, meat and other things so long as he has a few campaign doc uments on his table with the name Of the Hon N. D. Sperry tackled on to them7 A man who would be hungry or cold while a Congressional Record was at his disposal, or neglect to vote for the gentleman who was kind deserves to be chased as an ingrat6. The people of Waterbury; irrespective of political creeds, are doing lot of reading these times, and 1t is but fair to conclude that they will not neglect to do little thinking, too. If they do, there is bound to he trouble, for many of them will wonder why none of this literature came to them for the past four years and will feel like ask ing MT Sperrv and the rest of the oe- flee seekers if they think an ordinary mortal and his family can manage to get along for four long years on one bunch of republican campaign literA- tura.
 Report has 1t that Chairman John T. Robinson is out strongly in favor of Colonel Patrick McGovern for the nomination for senator in the second district of Hartford, comprising the third, fourth, fifth and sixth wards. With this support of tie colonel goes d corresponding reluctance to permit other leaders not living in the second district to interfere in the contest In Colonel McGoyern's bailiwick. These leaders are said to be opposed to Nc Govern on the ground that he is not vote-getter in his own party, as was shown by his failure to win against the dOn JOun M.

Of these the fourth Is the only one now in the district in which Colonel McGovern resides. They argue: "Why nominate man so niahifestly unpopular to large number of repub- lican voters when others would not ehdanger the chances of capturing the districts" A prominent adviser of the party machine informs the Times man that Mir McGoverh, at a confer ence with the machinV leaders in 1902 asked ito be given chance to re- deem himself as a loyal member of the party, and if he was beaten he promised that he would not come ip again as candidate for Office" "The machine" says our informant, accepted the colonels request, stood by him at the polls, worked hard for his success, and was sur prised at the result. This year the situation is changed. There is no deal and the party managers will put up strong candidate if possible. If they fail, the voters will take care of the district Hartford Times.
