 The socialist party Of Waterbury
 held a large and enthusiastic meeting
 at it's headquarters last evening, and
 while they do not present candidates
 to be voted for at next Mondays cleo
 tion yet they show considerable activ- ity at this time. The socialist party has not endorsed either Blakeslee or Thoms, as both of these candidates look alike to the five or six hundred
 socialist voters of this city. (And one member put it, "Blakeslee and Thoms are both tools of the politicians repre- senting the capitalist class.') The meeting instructed It's members and called on all voters, irrespective of party, to vote in favor of the proposed amendments that are to be voted upon next Monday, and on which so little has been said by either of the candi- dates for the mayoralty. Encouraged by the good results of the recent mass meeting, addressed by the Hon James F. Carey, which was the means of adding fifteen new members to the party, the organizer was instructed to procure John w. Brown for another open air mass meeting for next month.
 The republican party has been try ing to make capital out of a false hood published in it's organ, giving credit to the board of charities for { never performed by that body. A little while ago it was an- nounced that the board of charities sent Frank Dunner to the New Haven hospital for treatment for his eyes, he being at that time practically to- tally blind. The republican organ. and apparently the republican town lost no time in having cir ; culated the report of the very gener- not Al tho or1 Thn nif ify s to pay the bills while he would be in the hospital and the board would rec that he was given every attention. The fact of the matter is that the board never did anything of the kind, at least In the case in question. It did not send MT Dunner to the hospital nor did the city pay the bills. The board did nothing whatsoever for Mir Dunner's lamentable condition. But 1t is true that Mir Gunner went to the New Haven hospital and that he was there five weeks. But his bills were not paid by the city. They were paid by his friend, Michael Sayles of Bish- op street. ST week for five weeks as the receipted bills, signed by the su- of the hospital J. R. Cod dington, will prove The board of charities did not raise a finger to alleviate the sad condition of NIT Gunner.

 A report was circulated by the re- publican city committee this morning that friends of Commissioners Phelan md Mcdonald of the board of educa- ton were sending for republican pas. ters. The object of circulating this report was to create confusion in the democratic ranks and doubt and jeas Ousy among the friends of Mir Phelah and MT Mcdonald. The fact, however, Is that the most perfect harmony pre- vails among the two democratic cow missioners and the prospect for the election of a democratic board of edu- cation was never better. Friends Ur MT Mcdonald and MT Phelan ar1 by the democratic city cons nittee to pay no heed to the slander. ,us report emanating from the head quarters of the republicans, for tue facts are the other way. Letters by he score from well known republi- ans have been received by Mir Me Donald and Mir Phelan asking for
 
 heir pastors. which is a positive indl- ,ation that the democratic school tick t Is more popular than the republican,, . It is the duty of all good citizens, re publican as well as democratic.--to ,lect a democratic school board on in order to avoid the turmoil md politics that were injected Into md greatly disturbed the schools last bring and summer by grasping and ,elfish republicans, Politics never played a part in the administration of he school department until the pres mt republican board was elected. rol- tics should have no place in the < ,chools. and the only way to get them ,ack to their former peaceful and use mi state is to.elect a democratic board ,f education.
