 PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
 Johnson T. Platt favored an amendment O
 the rules so that registrars should not be eli l gible to serve as chairman of a ward commit
 tee. Judge Studley said he coincided witl that view.
 Mir. R. E. Baldwin did not approve of tn proposed amendment, and mentioned tn
 case of Joseph F. Benton formerly of West
 vile, who had held both positions with goot | acceptance. A two-thirds rule would be sui
 ficient to protect the party MT. w. H. Coolidge said that the chair man of the convention had grown 50 wealth, from the chairmanship of the Sixth wart , that he had built fine house in Whalley av enue and moved out of the ward. This sail,
 was received with an outburst of merriment Judge Studley said that the two position
 were inimical and ought to be separate. HI
 seconded MT. Platts motion.
 Mir. Platt said that Judge Studley ha stated his position in the matter. So far a any party benefit was concerned, that was small consideration.
 MT. Deming thought that the rule, a
 amended, would bar out a good many goo
 workers, and he did not think it to be advis able to change the rule.
 Mir. Coolidge hoped the amendment wo ul
 prevail, as registrar had enough to atten
 to with the duties of that position. Judge Studley thought Republican regis trar would always be ready to furnish an information and assistance in his power. H , thought to small ward like Westville tn , motion need not apply, or that it need appl where the Republican vote was less than 200 } The amendment was lost. It was voted to amend the eighth rule tha
 the chairman sign, etc., as stated in the rul above.
 Mr. E. F. Merrill was nominated for tow } registrar of votes.
 E Mr. Twiss moved that a nominating com mittee of one from each wa1d be appointe ? out of the members of the convention t t bring forward 8 town ticket. It was so vol ed and the following were appointed: | 1. Andrew O'Nei1. g. H. B. Ives. 2. Charles R. Spiegel 10. F. g. Bassett | 8. George R. Bill. Il. F. B. Beebe. | 4. Edward Wines. 12. L. F.
