 ssMeats for the Funeral" The New Haven Democrats Elect Dele-

 Ter DeIegatson'' Selected-The Register
 Rooster Crows LoudIy-No Chance for
 NaIcontents.
 There was Town convention held in Turn Hall last evening to select delegates who will attend the State convention at Hartford on Wednesday, October 4th. There were more spectators than delegates, but line was drawn between the two so that the sinners could not mingle with the ''elect." It was a comparatively quiet affair, although many had anticipated that there would bs 8 serious struggle between the Register and Union fac tions, who at present seem to have each oth- CT by the throat and each goading the other on, while th @ Republican party laughs over the fight among friends, and expectantly awaits the result of the coming election with confidence. We'll, New Haven Democracy is queer, anyway, and when they cannot agree they agree to disagree. Last evening the Register rooster was on hand "booted and spurred," and bound to have everything his own way. His packers were numerous, and when he entered the ring the Union fowl dropped his posterior appendage and made but little show of fight. However, Master of Ceremonies Catlin, the chairman of the Town committee, called the convention to order at o'clock, and the fun proceeded.
 James Reynolds (Town Agent) was select ed as chairman of the convention, which was a victory for the Union; then T. J. Fox was selected as secretary, which scored one for the Register.
 Chairman Reynolds, on taking the chair, thanked the convention for the honor. He hoped the convention would send delega- tion to Hartford that would be a credit to the party. He hoped that all differences re- garding ward delegates would be settled by committees and that there would be naught but harmony prevail. In conclusion the chairman called for the nomination of a sec- retary of the meeting and T. J. Fox was ap- pointed.
 The chairman of each ward delegation was appointed member of the committee on ere dentials.
 The clerk called the roll of delegates by l wards, commencing with the First. In some of the wards neither delegates or their alter, mates responded to roll call. When the Eighth ward credentials were presented, with William Parsons at the head | Max Thalheimer protested that the creden ! tials presented by MT. Parsons should be re- I ferred to a committee. as there was dispute I in that ward in regard to the fairness or hon l esty of the ballot.
 ! MT. Parsons replied in spirited manner He said that the Eighth ward appealed to the Town committee for a new primary and they \ Ho lad c f0T and open Investigation by this convention ! and not secret investigation by commit ! tee. He said the chairman of the primary 1 had given the certificates of election to th' l delegates here present, knowing that the. I had been fairly elected. All he asked for wa { fair play.
 A motion was made that the parties making l the protest have leave to withdraw. l The chair said he could not entertain thl I motion at present. as the convention was no l as yet fully organized and would not be unti all the credentials were received and report l ed from the several wards. This seemed t.
 satisfy the contestants and the roll call wa ! proceeded with.
 After the call the chairman handed the ere ! dentials so far received to the chairmen o
 the various ward delegations and they re ! tired for consultation.
 l A recess was ordered and at 9:O5 the com
 mittee returned and reported full list o | d legates from each ward, which were rea
 by the secretary.
 The report of the committee was acceI ted
 notwithstanding the protest of the Eight
 ward delegation.
 The president selected Hon. Henry G Lewis and Joseph H. Keefe as tellers. On motion of Alfred A. Upson it was vote'
 that the first ballot be informal.
 William Parsons offered 8 preamble an'
 resolutions, which declared, That as Hon Charles R. Ingersoll, whom the Democrat party has delighted to honor, has refused t.
 allow the use of his name for Governor. ant that he will decline to stand if nominated,

 first choice of the Democrats of New Havel for the nomination for Governor is the Hon
 Thomas M. Waller, of New London county
 and that the delegates appointed tonight b

 brilliant champion of Democracy. Mr. Parsons supported the resolution in
 spirited speech, and then the balloting com
 menced. AS the names of the delegates wer' called they marched up to the chairman
 platform and deposited their ballots.
