 The Committee on Resolutions having been asked to retire, it was announced that separa- tion was in order to allow the selection of dis triot delegates
 THE EDMUNDs BOOM.
 Charles Dudley Warner, who as editor of the Hartford Press, battled for the Republi- can party when it was weak and struggling infant, arose. His dignifed presence, com manding figure and thoughtful, scholarly face at once marked him to the convention. Mir. Warner, getting the ear of the chair after moments waiting the chairs attention hav- ing been engaged by the secretaries, said (holding paper in his hand):
 Before the convention separates into district ventons would ask the voice of the convention upon this resolution. Come 3ticut is only of the small States in time of peace n tim. Of war she is dosen people, Applause and laughter.) But in the roll-ca the @ a neT s be nf moral sentiment of New Ensland behind her. There fore will read and ask the voice of the convention upon this resolution
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Connecticut de- sire the nomination at Chicago of 8 candidate who will best unite all the votes of all sections of the country and whose character is party platform and that it recognizes in George F. Ednunds nl1;1 of Vermont, & utes) Elihu Washburn, of Illinois, (nlore cheer ing) statesman whose nomination would need no defense.
 Wild excitement followed. When calm was partially restored, the resolution in the mean time having been sent to the chair, Mir. Sher- man, of Brookfeld, in 8 strong, sonorous voice, moved to amend to make the resolution read 'tOr any other man who shall be se- lected by the National convention at Chicago" !" Committee on Resolutions with other kindred matters. (Uproarious applause.)
 A call was made for the reading of the Ed munds resolution. One of the secretaries read smoothly until he had passed the name of George F. Edmunds, when he struck a snag in the writing and stopped. A wag in the convention shouted, F'Or any other man" :" More uproarious applause followed this hit
 Then MT. Gowdy, of East Windsor, wanted to amend further by placing in the resolution the name of U. s. Grant. (Applause)
 MT. Samuel Warner, of Middletown, pro- tested. Are we to ask as this resolution for a voucher for the character of Gen. Grant (ApplHuSe.) l uuEl II UacA. 1ueEo IS uO man whose character is better guarantee. (Applause.) Is it so, sir, that Gen. Grant who occupies the most prominent position in this country, and of any of our countrymen before the civilized world, needs voucher for a character? There is neither any sane tion for this In any convention in this State since the organization of the Republican party. Time out of mind we have refused to give instructions to our delegates. The speaker cited an illustration of the course at ths convention when Abraham Lincoln was nominated. (Applause.)
 Up rose Brandegree, and soon his clarion voice rang over the convention as of yore in many hard fought party battle. He spoke as follows:
 time since have stood before convention. It seems to me that never stood before convention com freemsn of oon9ecticut. (Applause5 (6ries of take the stage stageD [Mr: Brandegee was not stage struck) speak from the body of the convention aud

 In my part of the State there is specialization of sentiment in behalf of any particular candidate. Ii the delegation selected here this body to-day goes to Chicago with pledges, with committed, they shorn of thelr strength in the National convention. The moment you instruct them porteurs of vote to ticketed and packed away in the archives of the candidate. Do that and you send them to that convention without influence Bend there your best men, but do not tie them up in advance to any candidate. I don't want to hear men connected with this assembly of wisdom in this convention stigmatized with, How much crow you ready to eat !? Sir, stand in az

Let walk circumspectly now. This convention did not come here registered for any candidate. MT. Brandegee begged for moderation and that delegates would not insist on any particular candidates sWhen the convention Chicago authoritative edict then every Republican worthy of the will bow to it. [Applause.l Mr. President, the party in this State has not up mind any particular candidate as yet. We work slowly here. We've only begun to talk up candidates within few weeks.

Now, then, put away this resolution and send delegates to Chicago whose vii a bsst man for us all to battle for" (Cheers and ap plause.)
 Mir. Brandegee spoke with great rapidly and earnestness and his remarks seemed to make a marked impression.
 MT. Brandegee, as he spoke, stood directly over MT. Warner and shook his hand almost in MT. Warmers face.
 MT. Warner rose immediately. He said he was satisfied that the moral sentiment of the convention was in favor of the nominee of his resolution. He was satisfied with the way in which the resolution was received. He did not mean the resolution as an instruction. He would withdraw his resolution. (Ap- plause.)
