 John Moriarty, the other nominee, was in attendance and being asked to make few remarks, stepped for ward and talked for five or ten min utes in manner which showed that he is the right man in the right place. Forty years ago MT Moriarty came to Waterbury and has since been in close touch with the people and is quite familiar with the city and knows its needs. Thirty years ago." he said. standing in Exchange place manufacturer remarked to a group of young men, of whom I was one, that we would live to see Wa terbury have population of 30,000.

Q j0QQ souls of this town at Hartford. If elected to represent this city, of which am SO justly proud, I shall use the same diligence in working for the public that I have always taken in my own personal affairs, and hope that two years hence you will have even more confidence in me than you have at the present time."
 Mir Moriarty's address was listened to with great attention and at the conclusion he was given big ova- ton.
