1t is understood that the delegates
to the state convention from Water
bury will not be. throwing their hats
in the air for Bryan. but i. is said
that they will not be instructed to
oppose him. There is a scramble
for places on the state central COM
mittee. If the present incumbents
drop out of the race, there are many
who would like to enter.J II. Frenzy
and d. j. Lahey.
Many republicans admit that in
their. own language they are up
against it this time for. sure, and
some of them hope that their candi-
date for governor will not come
from this city. They see how things
went at the last city election and
they do not forget how their candi-
date for county sheriff was licked
year ago. They have been given
some severe lessons in political
honesty during the past .cw years
and they admit this. too. With the
record of some bad defeats TO over
come they must also explain the in
dustrial conditions and do all thiy
can to avoid placing the RESPONSE
bility where it belongs, on the
shoulders of the man. Of the big
stick in Washington. &sfh
1t is said that Walter Scofield is
to be one of the delegates from the
first ward and in the second Sena-
tor Irving II. Chase and City Attor-
ney John p Kellogg are men,
toned. In fact, II is said that Mr.
Kellogg desires 10. go to- that as
sembly. This is exceedingly strange.
There must be something serious in
the wind when John p Kellogg de-
sires to go as delegate TO the
state convention. Everybody Is
aware of his great ambition, the su-
perior court. The third ward will
send Judge F. NJ. Peasley and DR.
Z. W. Goodenough. IL is said, and
while the fourth ward has not made
any selection yet il appears TO be
taken as matter of course that
Martin +. Parkinson will represent
the nfth ward.
The name of Alderman Fine is
upon everybody's lips to-day and ne
will continue to be spoken of quite
frequently for the next few weeks
For some time past the city attorney
has been trying to get the case OF
the city VS. the trolley company down
for a hearing. but he didn't appear
to be making much Roadway. After
long wait the matter was brought
up in the aldermanic chamber on mo-
ton of Mr. Fine and a committee or.
dered appointed to find out what was
up. The alderman made some point
ed remarks on the question and want.
ed the thing attended to without fur
Their delay Now II is announced that
the matter has been scheduled FOR o
hearing next week and everybody IL
asking IL the speech of Alderman Fine
and vote Of the aldermen had any
thing to do in bringing it TO head
Mr. Fine modestly remarked when in.
terviewed by a Democrat reporter
that while he could not tell what the
outcome of the hearing will be. he
was pleased 10 know that ID was 20.
ing TO be disposed Of, for he knew II
was on the waiting list long enough
The republicans arc nov thinking
of whom they shall send as delegates
TO the state convention Very little
interest has so far manifested self
