 The committee retired and the convention took recess.
 The committee returned about 9 o'clock and reported that they had attended to the were present in the hall. MT. Andrew in troduced Mr. Troup and he proceeded to the platform. He was cheered as he ap- peared and at the same time . dog in the hall parked his appreciation. MT. Troup re- ferred to his nomination one year ago and said that he then said to the convention, "Your will, not mine, be done" Proceed ing he referred to the trouble in the Demo cratic camp at that time and the offer that he aud his colleague made to withdraw. He said they were compelled to stand and were triumphantly elected, notwithstanding the oppositien of the so-called s'respectable' Democratic paper of New Haven That paper had stated that this was Mir. Laws convention. He said that he did not care for the support of the Register, but he was going into the fight to win. MT. Troup then paid his attention to Patrick Gallagher, ex- police commissioner, and whom he said would ever be ex-commissioner. He also paid his respects to William Bohan, ianitor of the City Hall, whom he claimed had with Gallagher circulated the story that he was the author Of the $2 military comnatation tax, which be said was passed six years before he came to New Haven He said he was in favor of every man paying his military tax wheth- CT he owned real or personal property. He said if anyone did not like it they must not vote for him. He said he wanted the same rights for the humblest man as for the rich-i est man. He was only anxious to go to the legislature because he wanted to see New Haven represented by Democrats. D. Sperry and the Register he said were losing their grip on the Democratic party aided by Judge Blydenburgh. He said he had no sympathy with that class of Democrats that went into the back door of the postofice and then came out and went into the front door of the Register office and fixed up things MT. Troup then paid his respects to Town Clerk Sinister and said that although he (Shuster) had refused to contribute to the campaign fund. yet he should, if elected, do all in his power to have the officers paid by salaries and not by fees, and this principle he considered to be in the interest of the peo- pie. He said he was not troubled about Mr. Harrison Of Mir. Peck or the Register office. He was going the whole hog for the Demo cratic party. In closing he said he thanked the party for his nomination whether he was elected or not and "the confidence you have placed in me is my answer to the carping critics who have tried to traduoe me-
 William H. Law was next called upon and returned thanks for the honor conferred up- on him in his renominRtion. He said all that remained for the Democrats was unity of ac- tion. He predicted the saccess of the Dem- ocrats in the Sta'e legislature and said that he should always keep in remembrance the prin- ciples of that grand old party to whose suf- frages he owed his position
 The convention then adjourned.
