 Besides him there will be speakers who will dwell on state issues, men who are familiar with state matters and are able to tell of the reasons why the democratic ticket should be elected this fall. Mir Guilfoile said that instead of there being no rallies there probably will be more than were held in the state election two years ago, or in the national election four years ago, provided halls can be secured and dates fit in the Itinerary of the speakers.

 Among other things stated by Chairman Guilfoile to-day, he said the present campaign will be the most interesting locally that has talk en place in many year. Elements that figured in the last city cam. paign, butters-in of the republican party, will feel the sting of criti. cism that will make them writhe and regret the day they did not mind their own business. MT Lilley's ca reer in congress, irrespective of his part in the famous submarine boat investigation, has been prepared for the public eye and a series of ques- tions will be asked him that may cause him more uneasiness than were asked him by the boat investigation committee. A republican who would see fun at his own funeral remarked that it was peculiar of Lilley to con- duct his campaign in the woods and that it would be as well for the peo- pie on election day te keep him in the woods. A programme has been ar ranged which is expected to convince the people of this community that the republican party is not the popular party, not the party of the rank and file of the people.
 While the republicans are confin- ing their operations and their secrets to the Republican club, the democrats are working in the open daylight. This evening there will be meeting in the new headquarters of the demo- cratic party, the vacant store at the corner of Leavenworth and Center streets, and everyone is invited to be on hand and bring along some new ideas. Everybody Is welcome and the more takers there will be on hand the better. There Is no lack of ideas on which to operate the campaign but every suggestion will be welcomed and so this evening big gathering is expected to be present. The mem- bers of the town committee will be on hand of course and some good suggestions are expected from them.
 The candidates on the republican state ticket were in Hartford yester- day and held a conference at the state headquarters at the Allyn house, where they discussed matters with the campaign.

There are half a dozen candidates Tor the nomination but it is said that Thomas Reilly of Meriden las the inside track The office of Is of the greatest im- portance for congress makes the law md the tariff, and if the people of his community wished for better of the inability of the pres- snt high tariff laws to protect them, 'hap uhof fhpy rarojvod oil Sup,,,,ar
