 Mir. Alvan P. Hyde of Tollaaa deemed it certain that there was but one feeling in the conveutinn and moved the re-nomination Of the last years ticket bY exclamation.
 Mr. A. E. Burr of Hartford was gratifed that the motion was made. Judge Seymour was nominated last year by acclamation--no discussion being needed to make his merits known. The ablest judge on the berch of the Superior Court he was striken off by the oppos- ing party because he voted as his conscience dirpcteh--votei against cenirazaton of power. He believed Mr. Seymour would not. if elected governur, be willing as Gov. Buck ingham was two or three years ago, to Send clie thousand uniforms, guns aud d battery to Ohio at a great expense. for which he did not know as Connecticut had ever been paid. The country was being plugged into debt at rail- road speed. Connecti> ut bonds soon could not be sold at par.
 Mr. Woodward of Mddletown seconded the nomination. au.ing also to the deposlug of Mir. Seymour from the juigeship.
 K. b. Gallagher also cuncurre'l with the gen tltmen who had spoken. Ordinarily he Was not in favor of nominations by ,acclamaton.
