THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEE-

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEE-
 TION.
 The Republican State convention meets in Hartford Wednesday of this week. We con. slider it settled that new ticket will be nom- mated, but who will head 1t no man knows. Hon. Oliver Hoyt, of Stamford, and General William H. Bulkeley, of Hartford, are the most prominent candidates. Several others are mentioned" among whom are Hon. Dexter R. Wright and Mayor Bigelow, of this city. There is also dark horse or two, and out of the abundant good material a wise selection will undoubtedly be made. Very little is said about the other places on the ticket, though it is announced that Mr. Car not O. Spencer, of Essex, will be presented by the delegates from Middlesex county as candidate for controller. It will be remem- bered that his name was presented in the convention two years ago, as candidate for this office, and that on an informal ballot he received a majority of the votes cast, and ac- cording to the usual custom his nomination by exclamation would have followed. But a formal ballot being ordered Mir. Howard was nominated by one majority.
 We have no doubt that when the delegates get together tomorrow evening and talk over the situation, the importance of making up the best possible ticket will ovsrshadow all personal and 'sectional'' considerations. We have great deal to do in this campaign, and we shall be opposed by hungry and united party, which cannot be expected, with all its capacity for blundering, to nominate poor ticket. The situation needs wisdom and con- scientious unpreiudiced action

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropoItan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effeetual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of- ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present 6 reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. LighthilIs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

As was shown in Boston the other evening the many wires stretched across the streets and attached to buildings in cities are not only great nuisance but may endanger hu- man life. The Boston firemen were unable to get ladder up to the upper story of the Sherman House when that house was on fire, on account of the network of telegraph and telephone wires in Court Square. Happily the inmates of the upper floor were enabled to escape by the stairway, but if the stairway had been on fire they must have burned to death in spite of all that the fremen could do in endeavoring to assist them. Sooner or later the wires must go underground

HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light hills Practice in New
 Haven. Statement of MET. T. MI. Cox, No. S5 St. John Street.
 New Haven.
A Happy Experience

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.) We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from Mir T. M. Cox ! an old resident of New Haven, and gentle man highly respected and widely known il our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community witt the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit or Dr. LighthilTs ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence NEW HAVEN, July 3. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthin and the successful results of his treatment. Fol the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal. lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it te consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthilps pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty te the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity te make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthills efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

Newspapers outside the State are discuss ing the Connecticut law requiring railroad men to match worsteds and perform other prescribed feats of eyesight, and the general opinion seems to be that the law is unneces- sary and it's enforcement ridiculous. This is the way the Providence Journal puts the case :: That the question of color blindness in the case of a locomotive or railroad engineer is of the utmost importance, there is no dis pute. But the question is as to his capacity to perform safely his duties, not as to his ability to distinguish letters at short dis tance or perceive the difference in crewel colors when held at a given distance. The signal flag and lantern are visible objects i; if the engineer can perceive them, and what they are, in time to control his train as it should be controlled, then he is, being other wise capable, fit for an engineer; if not, not. It seems that one engineer who had run nineteen years without accident was offered only second-class certificate. Now it is impossible that a man could drive an engine on the Shore Line road all these years without having been thoroughly tried in every respect. There is necessity that pilots and engineers should be able to dis tinguish colors, but the object of an exam instion is to ascertain whether they can and do suitably and sufficiently for the perform. ance of their duties. It is idle to say that twenty years safe experience is not as per feet test as is that of the medical exam iner. The engineer is not called upon to thread cambric needle he is obliged to notice the position and color of the switch guards. Theory is of but little value, unless it accords with facts, and aids in the actual work of the world.
