RAP FOR SQUARE DEAL
Scotchman Says the Title" Sore Head" Would Fit Him Better.
Editor of the Evening Democrat:

l EulIor or the EVenlng Dem0crat: Sir:-Square Deal in the Republi
 can of this morning bellies the title
 that he gave himself. Calling him.
 self Square Deal, he starts out tc
 find flaws in the democratic party
 but he does not succeed very well. h
 regard to the Fitzpatrick matter as
 spoken of by Square Deal 1t begins tc
 look as If the mayor was right in
 having resignations of certain men
 In his safe to be sure of remedy should they fail in any manner to at-
 tend to their duties faithfully or any other cause whatsoever wherein the | city would be benefited. It begins to look as if the mayor knew just what way some political lights would turn and acted accordingly. Such re- signations should be used
 It seems to me as if the republicans are chasing about looking for every issue that will be harmful to the democrat ticket and fail to see that the democrats have failed to say any thing as yet about John Sewell, the man on the inside at the time of the strike, and a mortal whose first in- terest, no matter what he or anyone would say, is to look after his boss; and if his boss would not be the Con- necticut company, it would be a big surprise to many of us.
 Mayor Thoms will be the recipient or big secret vote that will help take Sewell and the republican party in Waterbury off its feet. The events of the past few days have made many Waterburians who have stood aloof come forward to help the present in- cumbent. He is heartily supported and the laugh is given to any sore- heads and milk and water politicians whose aims are about as high as the neither tip of the tai lof jennet, and whose issues change with the moon." The mayor has not resignations for every man on his boards and for the simple reason that he does not need them. Some men don't need to be looked after.
 Look at Waterbury to-day and you will see what Improvements have come with Thoms. Was Sewell, the head of the trolley system in Water bury so long and a man familiar with the situation, asked to aid in the pro- posed trolley extension to Town Plot and West Side Hill. No, the citizens of each section went to Mayor Thoms as Sewell would be on the side of the trolley people anyway. Square Deal intimates that certain men in differ ent parts of the city were sure of cer- tain Improvements in their sections. He should have signed himself Sore Head.
 In a one minute interview in the Republican ex-Democratic State Gen. tral Committeeman, Registrar, Post master Fitzpatrick mentions that rhoms was allowed to speak from the platform and the other honor given | to sewell, that of riding in the car 'iage with the governor, divided the lonors. It was not a political parade md the man who has been favored in he past with different jobs by the iemocrats was not supposed to be ooking out for his interests, but for he hospitals and the city of Water- ,ury. But Mayor Thoms can rest as- iured that the events of the past few lays have brought together the | friends and voters who really like a quare deal, and they will work hard or him. If a few more like demo- rats would promise to vot. for 'ewell in the same way, the election If Thoms would be a certainty.
 A SCOTCHMAN.
