A Sentinel reporter had an interview

sees it. is a purely malicious one. and
is brought In the hope and belief that
he will be unable to secure the neces-

ed to hoard at the county's hotel until
such time as the case may be heard
in the Superior court. Mr. Wadhams
further states that it is his opinion,
based upon a knowledge of the case.

stycr James Huntington. of Wood-
bury. Litchiieid county. is the Silver
Democrat In the Fourth Congressional
district who is willing to accept a
nomination to run for Congress next
fall.
James Huntington Is a practitioner
at law of exceptional ability. lie has
been In state politics for years, and
leads his side oi the hoqu In Litrb-
held county. He is a member of the
law iirm oi Huntington & Warner. The
junior member oi this drm is n Repub-
lican politician. so a strong combina~
lion exists. as it Is mild stands as high
In the Republican party in IJichileid
county as does his partner in Demo-
cratic circles.
It was well understood two years
ago that the nomination for Congress
would go to IJtchfleId in 1898. As a
matter oi fact. it was iAtchileId's turn
two years ago. when the nomination
went to Senator iioulihan. of New
town. From this It will be seen that
Idtchileld roomy has been turned
down under ordinary circumstances
and is offered a chance under adverse
conditions. Still it is said that i‘andi-
date Huntington is willing to furnish
sincws of war. so anslous is he to be
honored.
Another man said to be anxious for
a scat In Congress. as a Democrat from
the Fourth district. is Mayor Ilohan-
ban. of Stamford. Some oi his friends
say be is sure oi the nomination. in
the last campaign he was a formidable
competitor for the nomination against
IIr. IIoullhsn. the latter winning out
by only two votes. This year the
mayor's friends declare that the New—
towu man is not in it. Mayor llohan-
aaa’s friends dollars that he will be
nominated and elected. and this makes
people laugh. His friends are now
helping him to make a noise in the
political world.

Without asking for an explanation. one

are execrable. The favorite drive is
on the beach road. but there Is very
little pleasure in driving—the road is
so full of rule and depressions that the
carriage springs are severely tested.
The condition oi the streets and the
almost entire absence of country roads
is probably the excuse for not Indulg-
