the champion of the Republican party, be 1t my choice. (Great applause and cheers It has been said that the man who carried us through the war could not be nominated for 8 third term because it would offend some Re- publicans. There was never time when it was of such vital importance to carry the Re- publican candidate into the White House, whoever he may be, as now (applause). We are menaced by solid South, by rebel shot, guns menacing the people. Is there man here who thinks that a Republican will get single vote of that solid South? It is the duty of the Republican party to support any can didate and be ready to move on and place that old flag where it will forever be free. fAp- plause.)
 Charles Dudley Warner from the Commit tee on Resolutions, said he had been instruct ed to make the report and it was in one reso- lution, as follows:
 Resolved That this convention pledge itzelf and ous and loyal support of the Republican National Convention at Chicago. The short, sharp, decisive resolution was greeted with emphatic cries of Good" It was passed by laundering vote of acclama- tion. Brandegee rose and shouted to tho con- vention to rise. All rose and there was quite an exciting, enthusiastic time. At the same time Mir. Brandegee cried excitedly, "Three cheers for the choice of the Chicago conven- tion. We have them on the run; keep them at it." The convention cheered and cheered i again.
 Joseph Sheldon presented the following resolution
 Resolved, That this convention do hereby instruct State convention an invitation to the Republicans of the several towns of this State to send to ssid conven ton gates spportioned by said committee to said towns respectively in numbers fairly bassd upon pop ulation, or upon the average number of Republican votes cast next preceding election or upon some other equitable ground provided however, that be entitled to at least two delegates for each representative to which is entitled in the Gen. 1 eral Assembly.
 | MT. Sheldon spoke in favor of the resolu- | tion, saying that he did not propose any l special measure, but 8 general sugges ion to 1 the State Central Committee. One hundred
 men in New Haven ought to have more voice
 than.one in Wolcott or any other small town. MT. Brandegee moved that the matter be
 referred to the next Republican convention, | claiming that it was not feasible now. | Mir. Sheldon moved as an amendment that
 the resolution be referred to the State Cen 1 tral Committee. Mr. Brandegee accepted the amendment. The question being put, the vote was so l nearly divided that the result was in doubt.
 Mir. Frisbie, of Pennington, moved indefi-
 niie postponement of the resolution, and this
 action was taken after MT. Sheldon had made
 a few more remarks. The convention then l adjourned

 instruction from the convention.
 Another estimate gives Edmunds of the
 delegation and another reverses this, giving 2 to Blaine
