 A drummer who has considerable business with a certain profession in Waterbury. In telling of his travels. said he had an adventure in Steuben- ville, O., some time ago. Business was just picking up in that place and the manager of a large mill said to him that every man in the employ of the concern was a ranting Bryan ite, and he did not know what to do to shut on their political tendency. "If l discharge them," said the man. ager, T will have to shut down the mill. Hang it all, I hate to keep them on and hear them shout their politics that way" Well" said the drummer, T was not surprised a few weeks ago when I saw in the papers that Bryan; was given reception in Steubenville, for the people of that town are an intelligent people and they are aware of the fact that high tariff no longer protects them from hard times, though 1t maintained high prices for steel and iron for the trusts that employed them." And the same drummer, who travels all over, said that the anti-Lilley senti- ment which is strong in Hartford and Winsted is just as strong in Middle town and towns along the Connecti- cut river. You people here in Wa terbury." said this nomad of com merce, have no idea of the feeling against the republican candidate for governor in those parts up the state and along the Connecticut river. It is even betting that he will be licked so badly that many a man will win thousands of dollars on his defeat"
 The voting machine in the City hall corridor is doing great business these days. Hundreds of old as we'll as new voters have made its acquaint- ance during the past few days, for 1t is we'll worth the little trouble of a call. The voting machine is thing one can't get too well acquainted with, simple as its mechanism is. On last city election day when the ma chine was first used in all the wards, 1t staggered the most self-possessed when he faced 1t in the polling booth.
 A well known republican, one who does not care financially which way the vote goes on. election night, ex- pressed himself substantially thus on Monday morning following Mir Lil- ley's speech in Hartford Saturday night. In that speech MT Lilley roasted" the millionaires, forget ting, or seeming to forget for the time, that he himself is quoted in the financial journals at more than half a million. The prominent republican referred to said that 1t is a pity the campaign can't last another few weeks. for in that time, if Mr Lilley pursued his present rate of defense, he would show himself up in his real colors to the electors of the state.
 MT Lilley's latest edition of his campaign Literature Is exciting the interest of the art preservative. This latest effusion says MT Lilley is "labor's friend" A well known printer said last night that evidently MT Lilley had forgotten the time when the free labor bureau agencies were inaugurated in the state. The local printers unions had fellow member, Peter O'Connell, selected for the agency. and Lilley was the local representative of the majority of the house at that session, which was 1901. While the time does not signify the facts remain the same. The bill to establish these free em- ployment labor agencies throughout the state was essentially labor bill. Mir Lilley turned 1t into partisan bill and would listen to no one can- wasting the merits of any candidate for local office if he were not re- publican. And the results proved MT Lilley's partisanship, for one of the strongest partisans of his party was selected for the office, Edward Bel den, former republican town clerk. This" said the printer, shows only what MT Lilley would do for labor if ne was elected governor
