POLITICAL POINTERS.
Republicans Getting q List of Every
 Voter in Waterbury.

next month, when the registrars will be in session on the 9th and 18th of the month. The republicans have com pleted their house to house canvass and have their returns ready to turn over to the town committed Tne democrats are painfully slow ill this matter, so much so that one would think there is no democratic party in Waterbury. During the past month republican heelers have pushed their way into every place in Waterbury where a human being resides and got a line on his politics. If the person talked with claimed to be democrat the worker found out how deep rooted the faith was in him and If he could be induced to become a convert to the republican creed, If so a note was made of the fact and he will be seen again.
 P. J. McMahon is personally re- spOnsible for the conduct of the first ward republicans and he is said to be laboaane industdously to make a good showing. Of course he has large number of heutenants, but Mir Mc- Mahon is in front of the advance guard andwill be held accountable to the ma chine,f for what takes place in that ter ritory.
 The second district has been turned over to Prosecutor Meigs and Attorney 70. e. Church, and it goes without say ing that they are paying strict atten- tion to the duties assigned to them. It is understood that in the event of the success of the regulars this fall Mir Church will succeed A. F. Brad street as clerk of the district court, not because fault has been found with the woTK pefCormed by Judge Brad~ street. but to give a deserving young man a show and also give the lie to the fmpuSat9on that one clique has all the good things At the disposal of the party.
 Judge Peasley and B. R. Kelsey, with thfrty-ruor assistants, are looking after the party's fences In the third ward and they think things are so se- cure that the enemy cannot possibly make any tnroRds upon them that will amount to anything. They found the fOotpTints of Harry Durant at every turn and o0TDer, but they don't antici- pate any serious opposition from the backing they have been able to trump up
 E. [. TyrreIi is in command of the republican cohorts in the fourth ward. The district has been thoroughly can vassed and big things are expected from it, although 1t was said couple of weeks ago that lot of bad feeling had been stirred up in parts of the ward on account of the frequent visits made by some of the workers on fam flies who do not care to Identify them selves with any political organization, but is said to have been smoothed over. Senator Tracy is a resident of that ward and can be depended upon to do a mans share Of the york re- qutred by the town committee.
 M. F. Parkinson is captain of the forces in the ffth ward and Ss credited with being the Afst to complete his work and account for every Simon -~pure republican in that part of the town and also "doub tfuls," which are said to be. somewhat fewer than tive years ago. PerkfnSon is stih out for conQuests and expects to Increase his lists considerably between now and the time the election takes place Dur ing his round he newer saw Harry Drlrant or anybody representing him. If he had fur would fly and the in- vader would have been lucky if he escaped with his scalp.
 Congressman LiIley. George A. Driggs and every republican office holder in Waterbury, together with a dozen or more others, while not con- fined to any particular locality, are doing missionary work and in the near future all She workers win meet with the town committee, when the whole situation as the several capTassNrs found it will be presented to Mir KeE aogg.
 It was learned to-day on good ae thoritv that the nomination for con, Rress on the democratic side of the house will not go to Waterbury man The candidate will be Attorney Webb. provided he cares to make an other try against N. D. Sperry.
 Attorney John F. Holohan is can Siidate for senator from the sixth dis frict and is said to stand a good show or winning out. The race for this of flee is becoming quite interesting and by the time the primaries are called thiYfes will be red hot. It was said to day that in case H R. DtFaat should capture the nomination for senator iI the fffteenth district or have anything to t5o with trottiag out a man the re pubafcAng will put mp democrat ant fighE t0 elect him. They claim that iT case Btfch a thing happens they VII offer the nomination to w. E. Thoms and oive him their hearty support with out putting any strings on him. 1t h not likely that MT Thofns would navs anything te do with a Fepublican snar anyway. So that if Durunt whips hi foes Ut tne pF1marfes the party vii cry in vain for assistance from Thomi or any other democrat. They will nave to take their medicine, and if Duran has the making of the pills the stuff < will be strong enough to make th' 5 sto1test of them squirm.
