An Illuminated Shore.
Gay Display at West Haven-A Beaut
 m


 Gay Display at West Haven-A Beautt-
 full Spectacle.
 -- The summer residents on the West Haven beach Illuminated their houses last evening in grand style. There were no exceptions to the rule, and each tried to outdo the other ih the brilliancy and grandeur of the display In front of many residences red fire was added to the brilliant illumination of the windows, and the entire shore presented splendid ap- pearance. Prominent among the residences Illuminated were those of Mrs Dibble, ex- Chief Aliens pagoda and Chief Webster's summer house below the Waverly Grove House. The Sea View House, and in fact all of the public resorts and private houses, pre- sented most creditable appearance.
 Visitors who drove down last evening were enthusiastic in praise of the scene, describing it as surpassing similar affairs they have wit messed ct Martha's Vineyard, particularly as there is mile of beach studded with shore residences and hotels, all in one continuous line of vision, and all the places being gay and brilliant. The picturesque effect was heightened, owing to the complete darkness of the evening, the illuminations appearing most distinct and vivid. The cottagers vied with each other in producing tasteful and fine ef- fects. The Maltby and Trowbridge resi- dences and the Sea View House were also among the most noticeable displays. At diff ferent points arches of Chinese lanterns were arranged, and the Oriental Park scene was particularly brilliant. All colors of Chinese lanterns were displayed. Alsosout on the water were blazing tar barrels, while there were tugboats with pleasure parties on board witnessing the scene, the whistles of the tugs adding to the life of the occasion. Far out on the Point the cottages there were resplen- dent with brightness.

Connecticut Republicans always put forward good and true men. The name of General Bulkeley was itself organized victory. He was a man of stainless character and pur- pose The men who know General Bulkeley know that his name at the head of the ticket means victory But it was argued that he was too young But was he too young to win? Applause Why! was Governor Minor too young when made Governor? Was Governor Hawley Eapplausel too young Hartford county was united in it's support of General Bulkeley. It had nothing in the way of dictation It wanted the best man nominated, and the delegates from Hartford county unanimously supported General Bulkeley.
 Ex-Gov. William T. Minor, of Stamford, presented the name of Jeremiah Halsey, of Norwich. Gov. Andrews, he was satisfied, could not be renominated. Where could his friends find a better man than Jeremiah Halsey to support. He commanded the hearty approval of the eastern section of the State and would honor and dignity the gu- bernatorial office. Never had he made po- itical mistake, nor done an unw1se thing. He was man of mind and intelligence, had a record above reproach. He trusted the Re publicans would select MT. Halsey for their standard bearer, for his name would strength en the national ticket as well as ensure vic- tory for the State. It was Republican tri- umph that should be aimed for, and with Jeremiah Halsey at the head of the ticket it would be sure. After the presentation of names the convention proceeded to the first informal ballot.
 It may be added here that Fessenden, of Stamford, in the Fairfield county caucus be- fore the convention, announced the with drawal of Oliver Hoyt's name.
 The convention now took the ballot.
