It was suggested to-day that 1t Is about time the democratic town com mittee should hold a meeting to dis cuss the local situation. The repub- licans got down to business three weeks ago and have their campaign well in hand now. Every republican lawyer in town Is busy with voting list and constitutes himself com mittee of inquiry into the ways and means of getting out the voters on election day. Attorney F. P. Gull fofe, chairman of the democratic town committee. intends calling the committee together as soon as possi- ble. One of the most important matters to be discussed Is candidates for representatives. It Is said that the time Is ripe to elect two demo- cratic representatives in Waterbury, that 1t is about time to let the repub- licans stay at home, for what they have done for the city during the past ten years or more amounts to absolutely nothing. Another report Is that If the republican nominees are Hayes and Goodrich, the demo- crats will have walk over.
 The patriots who conduct the af- fairs of the court house got theirs the other day from Mayor Thoms. When 1t comes to talking or doing things his honor the mayor is there with the goods every time. Some of the patriots remarked that Judge Robertson, the democratic candidate for governor, is hide bound with cor porate influences. This seemed to have been the key for which the mayor was waiting, for he opened up on the bunch and in the calm, cut ting way of his when he wishes to wither up political foeman, he laid the patriots out in short order. Judge Cowell's corncob was rem dered smokeless, Clerk Gillette thought it time to hike out east homeward, and Messenger Parkinson and Clerk Marsh of the superior court thought 1t better to call 1t day right there and close their desks. There hasn't been a. word about poli- tics uttered in the court house since and when the patriots see the mayor on the horizon they immediately get busy about their desks.
 The democratic convention to elect delegates to the congressional convention will be held in the City hall, tomorrow evening. The meet ing will be called to order at 8 o'clock by Attorney Guilfoile, chair man of the town committee. It is said the nominating convention will be held in Meriden in few weeks. and that besides Mayor Thomas Reil- ly of Meriden there is another can didate named Anderson, a residenv of New Haven. Mir Anderson was a candidate for the nomination two years ago when the convention was held in the City hall auditorium and he had good backing and though he came to town an entire stranger he came near being success ful.
 There will be a big democratic rally in the Hyperion theater in New Haven tomorrow evening and former Governor Waller will be the princi- pal speaker. Quite number of local democrats will attend who have never, heard Mir Waller on the stump. ] That National Committeeman Charles x. Brooker is more actively engaged in still hunt for the chair of United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee than was supposed is con- ceded It was alleged by republican politicians who visited this city yes- terday that many of the republican candidates who are being nominated for the coming legislature are known to be strong Brooker men.-New Ha- ven Palladium.
