 New Haven Democrats nominated Judge Luzon B. Morris and C. T. Driscon for Repre- sentatives last Saturday evening. Charles c. Blatchley, presided, David O'DonneI secre- tary. After an animated debate between Frank McHugh, J. N. States, Francis Mo- Gowan and P. F. Kiernan as to which of the candidates should be first nominated, and after various motions and amendments, it decided to go ahead and nominate second Representative first. For the second place there was a spiried contest in fact there was for both places, Timothy J. Fox and c. T. Driscon being the candidates. Mir. Plunket6 presented the name of Mr. Fox and urged that he had claims, as he gave up the field in 1872 after being nominated, with drawing in favor of ex-Governor English, and hoI fo, Az, 4o his qualifications they were all right.
 Thomas Leddy presented the name of c. T. Driscoll, whom he advocated as the work ingmen's choice. After further talking about it, MT. States called for the ballot and Mir. Driscoll was ahead, having 30 votes to Fox's 13. Twenty-two were requisite to 8 choice. The convention wouldn't make it unanimous for the leading name and formal ballot was at length ordered, which gave Fox nominated.
 Patrick Leddy named Col. A. Heaton Rcb- ertson for first candidate
 MT. States moved to proceed to a formal ballot. This motion prevailed. William H. Law, jr-, amended to an informal ballot, and this amendment also prevailed Col. Morgan nominated Col Robertson because he withdrew from the State conven- tion for Secretary of State He spoke of his efficient services last year. George E. Kimberly named Luzon B. Nor ris. Another young man was not wanted on the ticket; it needed strengthening. He didn't want to see New Haven represented by one or two Republicans. The Republi- cans had nominated 8 strong ticket. MT. Plunkett thought that MT. Triscolrs friends ought to nominate Judge Morris so that one unfamiliar with legislative matters could have the benefit of counsel and advice. To name Judge Morris would be to insure the success of the ticket.
