or Mahan of New London ihihHs I Any Candidate Will Win. | Chairman c. w. Comstock and Dr. | J. J. Donohue of this city were in New Haven on Thursday attending a meet | ing of the democratic state committed, l majority of whom were III attend ance at the Tontine hotel. The gathering was in the form or get together to discuss matters prelim- mary to an active campaign that will be waged this coming fall Exactly what came before the meeting could not be learned, but 1t IS understood that the matter of when and where to hold the state convention was dis cussed as was the matter of where the Headquarters for the campaign should be and when the campaign should ac- tualIy start. Before entering the meet ing none of the members seemed to know exactly what they were going to do: 1t was all q matter to be gone over in an informal conference, they said.
 Chairman Charles w. Comstock ar- rived in New Haven a few hours be- fore the hour set for the meeting and spent his time in visiting prominent democrats to get line on the situa- tion and how candidates who have so far been named for different offices on the state tickets stood in the estima- tion of the democratic leaders in New Haven.
 Chairman Comstock when asked about the prospects for democratic victory said:
 @I believe the prospects are brighter nol1w than for the past Is years. The people are thoroughly disgusted with the present condition of things and de- mand an honest revision of the tariff I believe" continued the chairman that similar conditions exist in this state as existed in Massachusetts and resulted in the election of MT. oFss; the same as existed in New York state and resulted in the election of MT. Haven"
 What prospect is there for the cleo ton of 8 democrat for sovernor?' was asked.
 q believe that we are on the eve of democratic landslide. I really be- Heve it. and the chances for electing democratic governor are flattering, and we will be successful if the right candidate is put up. Then with the enthusiasm in the work I think we have more than an even chance of sue cess''
 Mayor Bryan F. Mahan of New Lon don said:
 T think we'll win The people net only of this state but of the entire country are thoroughly dissatisfied. There are thousands of republicans who want to see the Republican ticket go down to defeat. They do not like the methods of the republican leaders who have been playing into the hands of capital and nHllionaires, who pro vided laws and legislation that have
 
 licans believed that the machinists in their party are out for the graft, and they further believe that it is for the salvation of the republican party itself that the party should get a good rip ping up the back
 Ut does not matter who is chosen as the candidate for governor he will win. The conditions are such and the times are ripe. The conditions that exist in national politics also permeate 1 this state"
 It was decided to hold the conven- ton September and 6, and Judge l Baldwin was the most prominently 1 mentioned for the nornina ton.
 Thayer Not the Man.
 The New Haven Times-Leader says: 1
 Charley" Comstock the chailm man or I the democratic state committee was ] met and he proceeded to explain that | democratic party. And then he went 1 on to say in that place in Newfound- l land which LongfelIoW made famous Arcadia-there lived a man capable of | filling the governors chair.
 Is it Thayer Of Norwich?" 2"
 T think not. Thayer and pr. Harri- man have fixed up their differences as to the mayoraty of Norwich, and
 But Thayer for governor again? ?''
 No, think not
 We want Waller"
 Will Waller run?"
 T do not know"
 That endeth the first lesson so far as MT. Comstock is concerned. It really looks as if the convention would put ] ID Waller.
 He's got to stand for it, whether or 1 no. He is now 6S years of age. but 1 rigorous to the extreme. It would l mean then in his nomination the nom ration of Judge Baldwin for congress
 The democrats believe they have a ,hance to win in Connecticut and are planning to that end.
 Chairman Ccmstocl1 said the demo- l rats had a chance of their lifetime l He said the party would elect three 1 from this state.
 Other names mentioned for the gov l rnorship are Gen. Henry A. Bishop of | Charles F. Thayer of Nor Vich- and Bryan Mahan of New Lon lon.
