every otner lawyer He eeoS ou ehe street, and tries to convince him that this is the chance of his life to get the nomination for probate judge away from Judge R. A. Lowe, Dr E. w. Goodenough is after Gilmour to join his goo goo club. There are few others whom the doctor would like to see in his organization. Joseph Corr is one, Michael Bolger, a north end man Is another and he would not object to Chris Garrity.
 Gilmour is .agin the government" At meeting of few first warders recently to frame a ticket for the democratic primaries Gilmour stood up and announced himself when a certain man said he would like to go to the probate convention. Gilmour said he had no objection to the gen. tleman going to the convention as delegate provided he was the right kind of man. By which he meant he should be of Gilmour's kind.
 T would have it known that I'm again the government on general principles, said he. And when Dr Goodenough heard this he started right out to capture Gilmour.
 Gilmour is certain that Attorney M. ]. Byrne will be nominated for probate judge by the republicans and that 1t will simply be a matter like rolling of log to beat .Byrne. He succeeded in getting one or two young lawyers to consider the matter but when they looked over the field and saw what was before them they found that they would have mighty job to take the nomination from the present official. The democrats are getting wise at last, and they see wis., dom in letting winner alone, and Judge Lowe has shown that he is sure winner everytime.

 Uncle" has no need to worry about which way the wind blows.
 The republicans must be in hard lines for political gossip when they can't find anything but J. w. Kerns' whiskers to hang onto.
 There is no reason why demo- crats should get into a wrangle at the coming primaries, for there is nothing to war over, but there Is bound to be row and probably a bitter one too, not for the good of the party, but to stir up strife and help the other fellows. The Lilley machine is doing some work in Wa terbury outside the republican camp. If not why should men who make no bones of proclaiming themselves re- publicans take so much interest in what the democrats are doing?
