The del egates mostly made their appearance on yes- terday's trains, and at the New Haven House many were gathered before tea time and ami mated hand-shakings and quiet conferences were held. Ex-Governor Jewell, who, by the way, will be chairman of the convention to-day, was in town early yesterday morning looking the incarnation of good health and geniality as usual. He bore a grip sack which was afterward deposited at the New Haven House, where a suite of rooms had been engaged. His arrival was quickly noised about town and many delegates sought his presence either on business or to pay their compliments. The weather was not the principal topic of conversation, although the unanimous opinion was that it was warm for the time of year. It was conceded that the convention was likely to be harmonious one, with the exception of strife as to two places on the ticket, and that the ticket would read:
