Humbugs -
Are very numerous at intervals, par
ticularly ; around election time. - If a
, ward heeler is saying a good word for
' his favorite candidate,-you can bet
your life he'll give the fellow on the
other ticket a fine old larrupping. and
before he is through the poor fellow
hasn't a foot to stand on. providing
you let the heeler have all the say. But
what does such nonsense amount to?
Election day will come and go, and
one political party feels as If they got
ttrrible scalding, while the fellows
" on the other side are as happy and
contented as mortal man can be. But
where does the '-humbug ' come m
here? Why, that's easy. The candi
dates simply promise us anything and
everything on top of the earth before
they are sure of election,' but when

and let them mind theirs, see tne

John Hurley was a power in city
politics while he remained with the
democrats, but as soon as he came out
for the republicans his friends desert
ed him. and he presented a sorry spec
tacle on the street yesterday compared
with what he might be had he shown
better sene and not allowed him;df
to be misled by the notion that he
could use men who might like to be
friend him, but quickly draw the line
at the idea of changing their politics
to accommodate Hurley or anybody
else. Hurley was used well by the
democrats, got a job from them that
many thought should have gone to
somebody else, and instead of mind
ing it he gave it up of his own free
will and at a critical moment turned
out to tise his power against the nom
inees of the party that had shown a
disposition to give him a chance to
earn an honest living. He was ad
vised by men who think more of him
than Harry Durant or any other repub
lican politician does, to hold his job
and that in the end he would be better
off, but he disregarded the counsel of
those who meant well by him and kept
on in his mad folly until the public
went to the polls and showed him the
error of his way. John is better than
some of his associates, and for that
reason, even now, a large number of
people feel sorry for him and and
think it too bad that he permitted him
self to be cajoled into deserting his
party, and his friends., with a view to
helping people who would not cross
the street to serve him if thev did
not have an axe to grind and believed
that John could do it better than any
body else.
Some one has grossly misrepresent
ed Mr Kennedy in his remarks at the
out door rally on Baldwin street Monday
night. He is reported as having sjid
that the nomination of Messrs Byrne
and Guilfoile for representatives and
himself for senator meant the relegat
ing to the rear of the Kendri'cks, the
Spencers, the Boughtons and Carters.
The gentleman didn't say anything of
the kind and in justice to all parties
concerned we think it but fair to tell
what Mr Kennedy did say on this sub
ject, which was substantially as fol
lows: "We are the candidates of the
democratic party and as democrats ;t
is your duty to give us your hearly
support, for I know that, if elected,
we will represent your interests bttler
than our opponents will in case' they
should be chosen. I hope to see the
democrats of Waterbury give the
Byrnes and Guilfoiles the same loyal
and undivided support they have al
ways given to the Kendricks. the
Boughtons. the Spencers, the Carters
and others whom their party has froi.
time to time ,nominated in the past.
They have a right to expect it. They
have the indorsement of delegates se
lected by the same party and if you
1 iect them, as you ought to, and I
know you will, they will represent you
as creditably as any gentlemen you
5-aVe sent to Hartford in the past."
A Democrat reporter who sat beside
Mr Kennedy at the time considered
this a graceful compliment to the pres
ent nominees of the democratic party
as well as to those whom it has put
forward in the past, and the audience
took it that way. too. so that the man
who informed the Hon Greene Ken
drick that Mr Kennedy attacked him
and his family in his address on Ba'd
win street Monday said someflilrg
which was absolutely false.
The Waterbury club celebrated the
re-election of McKinley by chartering
three trolley cars and enlisting the ser
vices of Hellmann's Advance drum
corps. They then rode over the vari
ous lines, first to the Brooklyn district,
then to the North end; their next move
was to Naugatuek and back again to
Waterbury and up North Willow
street to the abode of Representative
elect George Lilley. Tle boys were
in d jolly mood and they had a. warm
time in several senses of the word.
They had plenty of red fire, also
liquids, by imbibing which ' thr
mind begins to whirl, the senses grow
a little dizzy, the knees weak and so
on. ad infinitum But, as we said be
fore, the boys were out for a warm
time, and they got it. Cake walks
galore; duets, quintets, all kinds of mu
sic. In all the varied keys, at one
nnd the same 'rttrae-. At Naugatuek
the boys received a warm reception.
About 200 followers of that sterling
leader of democracy in Naugatuek
William Kennedy, were attracted
by , the whooping yells nnd the music
of the drum corps- to the scene.' It
was the purpose of the leaders of the
Waterburv club, so it is said, to sere
nade Mr Kennedy, senator-elect. But
it is also said that General Manager
Sewell. of the Connecticut Lighting
and PoWer company, strenuously ob
jected to such a movement, and fol
lowed up his-objections by stating if
they did so they could walk back, as
the trolleys could not wait for them.
It would be nu Insult to Harold Dur
ant. ' . After a. heated discussion,' it, wan
thought better to ride rather than walk
home.- .They rode no to Representative-elect
: George" 'Lilley's house : nnd
serenaded him. With -his pajamas
on George was. made to come out and
make a speech.v He invited all with
in to eat and drink', but the boys de
cided to" return- to the - center and
thence to the .Waterbury club, where
an eDjoyable time vras" enjoyed by all.

EMPRESS CARLOTTA'S FLOWER.
When the Archduke Maximilian of
Austria with his beautiful wife Car
lotta accepted the- Empire of ' Mexico
both made elaborate preparations in
order to lend dignity to their new life
in the new world. Carlotta decided
that some order of knighthood must be
instituted, so . that those who served
them well and faithfully might be re
warded. She decided that the color
of the ribbon of the order must be red.
But Napoleon objected, saying that
that the ribbon of the Legion of Honor
was red and must not be copied. The
light-hearted Carlotta " enclosed a
poppy petal in a letter to Louis Na
poleon reminding him that the Order
of Nature was ahead of the Legion of
Honor, and the poppy was her favorite
flower. aFtal significance of a fatal
flower Maximilian's and Louis Na
poleon's empires are alike in the dust,
and to the bitterest end did they dress
their wierd. Burns's lines were for
them most fittingly appropriate. On
happy, light-hearted Carlotta such ob
livion, sadder than death, has fallen
as makes all who pity her pray that
ere long the poppies of sleep may bind
her brows, and her weary eyes close to
open only on a new world, where con
querors and tyrants have become the
conquered. rhiladelpuia Ledger.
GUESSED RIGHT FIRST TIME.
A dear old woman with soft blue
eyes, white ringlets around her cars
and a quaint purple gown on a Third
street car during the late torrid wave.
She looked rosy, but cool and com
fortable, while the others on the
crowded car were mopping their
brows, fanning themselves and curs
ing inwardly. '
As Miss '40 got on the car she said
to the conductor, "Hi want to get hoff
at Hem street."
"All right," said the conductor, and
the car went on. Nothing happened
until L street was reached when sud
denly the old woman looked up and
asked, "His this Hel?"
"You bet it is," said a big, perspir
ing man, and soft, low cries of "Hear!
hear!" mingled with the laughter that
rippeld through the car. Salt Lake
