tated early In the proceedings. The foundation Of
the trouble consists in the disowning OF Mr.. Gal.
lori NV no of fha Of Nouv
Haven, and when the regular caucus assembled to
select delegates to the Convention, Mr. Gallagher
and his followers were left out in the cold. Un-
daunted and rrepressible Gallagher Immediately
got up caucus OF his own, and the result was the
choice OF rival delegato headed by the redoubt
able Gallagher himself. He was early in the hall
and throughout the proceedings he proved himself
to be as much OF disturbing element IN
the Connecticut democracy as Ben Butler is in the
The trouble began in the selection oil Committee

was carried, and when it was so declared one OF
the delegates moved reconsideration OF the vote,
for the reason that the Committee on Credentials

irregular and out Of order. The Chair here in
formed the delegate that 1t didn't make any differ
