The Republican Convention for the nomination
of the Presidential electors met in Allyn Hall to-
day. John /. Houston, Of Enfield, was temporary
and George II. Hatrous, OF New Haven, permanent
chairman.
The Convention had among Its members very
many of the representative republicans Of the State
o. w. STOW and II. d. Smith, Of Southington, prom
inent republicans, who had been announced as sup
porters Of Greeley, declared themselves as unre-
servedly for Grant. Mr.. Stow said II the Greeley
men were depending upon such capital they would
be bankrupt
Mr.. Smith is o prominent temperance man and
acted with that party last year. He said he should
support Grant and Wilson most cordially.
fhe Convention passed the following resolu-
tion:-
That i heartily of and endSr;s

Fourth ud dsGlct-oiiver Hoyt Of Stamford.
The electors are all well-known business men.
Hawley, who returned from Europe on Monday,
was called out and received with great applause
ana cheers.
He reviewed the situation denouncing the con-
test for Greeley scramble and farce dlscredit-
able to republican government, and claiming that
whether the candidates or their followers are con-
trastcd the argument Is overwhelming for Grant
and Wilson.
Three cheers for General Hawley were given at
the close OF his speech, and the General called for
three cheers for Grant and Wilson, which were
given with enthusiasm, and the Convention adj
journed.
After the adjournment Mr.. G. W. Hewitt, o
straight democrat OF Rocky Hill was discovered In
the hall, and called on for O speech. He pro-
nounced the nomination OF Greeley at Cincinnati
and baltimore farce, and no consistent democrat
could support 1t. He preferred Grant to Greeley,
but should support the nominee Of the Louisville
