And the League is only one of the channels by which former Republi cans are withdrawing themselves from their : former Republican . affiliation. and at the same time repudiating the Bull Moose . party. This wholesale abandonment of the Republican party, and its accompany ing rejection of the Third Termer and his new party, is one of the most im- gan of this kind turned out to- be a boomenanjE. and.' designed to assist. instead killed the Presidential chances of James Gillespie Blaine. There is little doubt that if four fateful words had been left unuttered. Maine's fa vorite: son would now be - numbered among the list or irTesiaents or tne United States. The election turned on the result inlTew Tork, which was lost to Mr. Blaine and Won by G-rover Cleveland by the narrow - margin of 1.047 votes. It was a trick or rate tnat Mr. Blaine should have been greatly help ed in his Presidential ambitions oy portant features of the closing weeks I slogan coined by an agnostic, and that of the campaign. The Wilson Pro gressive Republican League only com pleted Its organization in September. Yet it has accomplished for the Dem ocratic ticket a work as long and as wide as this' country. It Is a work he should have been defeated by an other slogan uttered by a clergyman. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, in an immor tal speech, dubbed Mr. ilaine as - tne plumed knight."

New. Haven,--Oct. "29. Police Serge ant Michael J. Connpllyof. 225 Blatch ley avenue, ror years an otficer in the -Grand avenue station and one of the best known and most respected police officials - of the local - depart ment, ha been placed under suspen sion by Chief of Police Cowles on charges of neglect-; of duty, and in subordination. The suspension of Sergeant Connolly was received with amazement by: his many friends yes terday. It created almost the - sur- prise that an exploding bomb shell would have caused, at police head quarters. ' Although not connected with Sergeant Connolly's case, Police man Thomas O'Connor, also of station 2, who for twenty years has been a member ofj the force, was suspended on the ' same charge. -' According to the charges aeainst Sergeant Connolly, it is claimed that he failed to serve" a liquor warrant against the Circola Italiano, a club at 144 wooster street, after it had been given: to him by Captain - William O Keefe, who in turn had received It from Liquor Prosecuting .Attorney H. L. Dlckerman . and City Attorney John R. Booth. It was expected, as a re sult of the drawing up of the warrant, a raid, led by Sergeant Connolly, would be conducted against the club named on Sunday afternoon. When interviewed after he had caus ed 'the suspension of the -; two men. Chief Cowles said: "The men in the down-town station will have to brace up at once, -s I am determined to get better results from the Grand avenue precinct and the men down there will have to" do their - work. Sergt. Con nolly was given a warrant to serve against v- club- which we believed, was violating the Sunday liquor law He aia not serve it and 1 claim he is guilty of neglect of duty and insub ordination. "The case of Thomas 'O'Connor," continued the chief, "is similar. O'Connor has been warned time and time again about allowing men to post ,up bills on his beat. Sunday he saw a man putting up a bili,.. almost in front of him but failed to. arrest him. 'Sergt. William G. Doherty- ar rested the man for a' violation-of '"the city ordinance. This Is what- O'Con nor should have done. I have sus pended him for three days. He will not be tried, but in the case of Sergt. Connolly, I have suspended him and- he will be tried on- the charges I have; brought against, him." . .. -. . . . - Sergt. Connolly's Statement. . Sergeant. Connolly ' last night," through a close personal friend, said: "I was given a warrant to serve on a club at 14 Wooster street. With Offi cers McKeon and Schoeder-I called at the place designated and. found two dozen bottles of beer and a small jug of Italian wine. The secretary, who, by the way, was the only one in the club, produced the ledger of the. club containing the list of members, and everything pointed to the organization being a legitimate club.

As all the warrant mdstbe returned to the chief with the reason for their not being served, the captain instruct ed me to make a report of the circum stances in person to -Chief Cowles and the liquor prosecutor. This I did. this 7 (Monday) morning. I .was informed by the chief that I should have served the warrapt and should not have used my own ; judgment as-jto-e whether it was a legitimate club, or not? The ehief .said that in failing to serve the warrant I had neglected my -duty.
