 The Democratic Central Club held meet l ing in Whittlesey'g Hall last evening, Vice President William R. Shelton presiding There was 8 small attendance at the meeting
 After the minutes were read and approved | four new members were admitted. It was voted to permit the veteran commit ! tee on uniforms to occupy the hall on next Monday evening.
 Chairman Shelton was called for . speech. He responded by saying that the State, like the National convention, had made no mistake in their nominations. In pre- senting the name of Hon. James E. English, all the starch had been taken out of the Re- publican party, and they have nothing to fall back upon. MT. Shelton predicted major IOE Gu0 D0mOCrdG1C I1ch0I III NS" hdNSA of 2,5OO. Yet, he said, with 90,O00 office holders to fight against the Democratic party
 had got to be vigilant. He thought it i'm portant that every Democratic vote should be brought out, and the committees should see that every Democratic voter was registered. He thought these matters could not be too strongly impressed on the Democratic party, and if the suggestions he advanced were car ried out one of the largest Democratic ma jorities ever seen in New Haven would be given.
 B. M. Graves was called upon for speech, but he was, he said, too tired to respond. Then followed discussion about the ex- ecutive committee renting the rooms on the I floor below the hall, and the opinion ap- peared to prevail that they were not needed 1 and that previous vote of the club in regard 1 to hiring the same was uncalled for. After considerable discussion it was voted to ap- point Messrs. Thalheimer, Rsmbert and Bollman a committee to notify the proprietors of the building that the extra rooms were not needed
 On next Tuesday delegation will go to
 New York to meet ex-Governor English, and 1 they will arrive here between 8 and 9 o'clock. The address of welcome to the ex-Governor l will be delivered by ex-Governor Ingersoll.
