honor (Applause.) We have been wise, we have been thrifty, we have worn our old coats, our wives and children have worn their old garments and have not bought new therefore every house in the land has assisted in the prosperity. So it will be to the end g
 Senator Eaton secuted as absurd the idea
 of Democrats paying the Southern war debt if they got into power, and the Constitution prohibited this. But our ''genial friend'' "a
 gushing individual, y the chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, claimed the Confederate soldier would be pensioned The
 speaker didn't believe that Governor Jewell believed any such thing. The Republicans, he continued, were falling back on their old
 stock in trade-war issues-which were not now worth anything The Democratic party asked for reunited people. The speaker now eulogized Hancock as warrior and 8
 statesman, and devoted some words to as-
 serting that so far from Jeremiah Black hav-
 ing written ''that great order''-No. 4O-he
 (the speaker) from personal knowledge knew that Black didn't write it. In closing Mir. Eaton called for dropping of self in the
 convention and immolation of prejudice and
 self-interest on the party altar.
 After the applause greeting the venerable Senator had subsided dramatic effect oc- cured. The fys in the rear of the stage were drawn back and there was disclosed nasty daub of Hancock-not very bad how ever-which was fastened to one of the scenes Arthur w. Bacon ''scooted" to the front of the stage and swung his hat, and the convention knew just what to do then and cheered like wildfre It was all done so sud denly that Senator Eaton, whose back was to the picture, didn't at the first flush compre- bend it, but he knew something had struck, and looking around pointed emphatically to the picture amid increased uproar. Senator
 Eaton said that this cheering was a prelude to November cheering.
 It was now moved to nominate ex-Gover nor English by exclamation. (Applause.) Hon. James Gallagher stepped to the front. The old "war horse" was greeted with en- thusiasm and the audience knew that some
 thing was coming. Mir. Gallagher alluded in
 glowing terms to the war record of James B. English and the sacrifice he made in accept ing the nomination in 1867, when under his lead Connecticut was made the first Northern State to hoist the Democratic flag after the
 war had ended. At this time, New Haven
 
 for the head of the State ticket, but as it has
 been presented he, in behalf of the united
 Democracy of New Haven, would second the
 nomination, and would be glad to see that
 nomination made by exclamation. But be-
 fore this was done he desired to explain to
 the convention a great sacrifice which had
 been made by young and earnest Democrat
 of New Haven. This young man, whom it was
 intended by the Democrats of New Haven
 to present to the convention as a candidate
 for Secretary of State, had come to the speaker in the morning and in spirit of self
 sacrifice had said to him If my name is the least straw in the way of the nomination of James E. English, let it be distinctly under stood that am out of the field altogether" His generosity is something unparalleled in
 the history of politics, and he deserves to be remembered in the future by his party for
 his sacrifice. With James E. English as
 the head of the ticket he promised
 that New Haven should not go back on
 the record of the past, but would roll up for their admired townsman the largest Democratic majority ever had or ever heard of in New Haven. And while New
 Haven would do it's whole duty in the matter he expected that the whole State would second 1t in such an emphatic manner that Governor English would receive larger majority than any candidate ever received in the State. The Republicans are already shak- ing in their boots, and with the nomination of English the numbers of the Republican party will be shaken clear out of their boots. I now move the nomination of the Hon. James E. English as the Democratic candi- date for Governor by exclamation. MT. English was nominated amid great en- thusiasm. Then Greene Kendrick eloquently presented the name of C. M. Pond of Hart ford Alexander Troup seconded 1t in 8 speech, and MT. Pond was nominated with applause.
 Judge s. s. Blake, of Bridgeport, was ! nominated for Secretary of State, after short speeches of eulogy from James H. Olmstead and Col. Dwight Morris.
 ! Merrick A. Marcy of Union, was nominat- ed by Pliny N. Barton of Salisbury, seconded l by E. H. Hyde of Stafford, and nominated | by exclamation
 Arthur w. Bacon, of Middletown, nomi-
 mated Charles R. Pagan, of Middletown, for Comptroller, as one who had won golden opinions during his service for two terms in the lower branch of the Legislature and two terms as Senator.
 John L. Hunter. of Windham seconded the nomination in behalf of Windham coun- ty and it was carried by exclamation amidst great applanse
 ''Your ticket is nominated" said Senator
 Eaton; 'Ethe winning ticket is nominated D The convention proceeded to the nomina- Winsted, said that without having consulted with any one he desired to nominate Hon. Richard D. Hubbard for first elector Senator Eaton said that, as Governor Hub bard's political representative he begged that his name be withdrawn, it was his (Hub- 1 bard's) request that he should not go upon 1 the ticket
 Mir. Bills withdrew the name of Governor Hubbard and nominated Hon. Charles R. In gersoI saying that he knew he made no mis- l take this time.
 The name of Hon. Charles R. Ingersoll
  l unanimously nominated.
 On motion of Hon. Gideon H. Hollister, | Loren P. Waldo, of Hartford, was nominated 1 fer second elector by exclamation. When Judge Waldo was nominated dele 1 gate inquired whether he was not disquali- 1 fed because he held an office under the Gov ernment.
 Senator Eaton replied that he was he was commissioner of the Superior Court, and it would take him about five minutes to resign ] Daughter
 District electors were nominated as fol lows:
 First District-Richard w. H. Jarvis, of Hartford Second District-Henry G. Hubbard, of Middle Third District-Chauncey F. Cleveland of Hamp- Fourth District-D. N. Couch, of Norwalk For elector for the Fourth district Hon. James H. Olmstead was first nominated he l being the choice of Fairfield
 James NJ. Iooker, Of Dar1en, objected to l the name of James H. Olmstead, of Stam-
 ford, and said that if his name appeared on | the ticket there would probably be at least 1 POO voters in the Twelfth Senatorial district l who would scratch the ticket. The speaker said he was Democrat. and had been one all
 his life and should be as long as he lived, in | all probability, but if the name of James H. Olmstead was placed on the ticket he for one
 would scratch it, and there were in his district
 many others who felt as he did. James I. Gould of Bridgeport, stated that | Fairfield had selected MT. Olmstead, having l authority from Litchfeld to go ahead Sen l ator Eaton then ruled in favor of Olmstead
 Tooker rose again and presented the name
 of O. s. Seymour. Applause. The Chair
 said the motion was out of order John L. l Hunter, of Windham, loomed up on the stage and wanted this business referred back MT. Sanford, of Bedding, said it was all 1 right and shouldn't be referred back F. A. 1 Warden, of Stamford, favored standing by the caucus. Mir. Eaton said that unless the Fourth district men wanted to change it. the action must stand.
 MT. Olmstead arose and withdrew his ] name. He would not stand for {. moment in the way of victory. He rendered the name
 of General Couch. Much applause greeted
