Wilson, of Newtown, vice presi- dents, and James A. Hubbell, of Wilton, secretary. There was no objection to MT.

Coe, the Republican nominee, resides.
 T. G. Aldiss, George M. Woodruff of Litehheld and D. Smith Sholes of Ridgeheld, were the committee appointed to wait on MT.

Seymour and also resolv- ed, ''That the tobacco growers of this district owe to our candidate for Congress their hear ty thanks for his consistent, able and untir- ing efforts to protect our agricultural inter ests against slave labor in Sumatra." :"
 Congressman Seymour received rousing greeting from the convention when he ap- peared and made speech. He contrasted Blaine and Cleveland and predicted the stranding of the Republican party if the ballots sacredness is not preserved. He de- nied that the tariff question was pertinent in this campaign, and claimed substantially that some Democrats thought alike with some Republicans that partial revision of the tariff would be profitable. He stated his belief in the cardinal virtues of economy and the encouragement and protection of American labor. Three cheers were given for the national and State tickets and for Mir. Seymour, and the convention adjourned.

Marching Through the Principal Streets-Un1formed Cleveland and Hendricks Men and Boys.

Marching Through the Principal
 Streets-Un1formed Cleveland and Hendricks Men and Boys. There was noticeable absence of banner: in the Democratic parade last night. In fact \ no notices were shown at all. The 'Ffret trade" banners which the Democrats carry 1T Ohio would never do for the party in this section. The lack of other principles DOT trayed leads to the conclusion that the party has none. There was plenty of red light however, and the brand new uniforms looked glittering.
 It was nearly 10 o'clock when the parade reached Chapel street. A large crowd had congregated First came the Pioneer corps commanded by Captain Henry D. Phillips. Then followed Landrigan's band. The grand marshal, Colonel John G. Hea1ey, ,and some of the assistant marshals followed.

 The Mitchell battalion, preceded by the American band followed in line, in command of Major E. A. Joachinson. The other organ izations taking part were the Ingerso1 pha- lanx, Capain John B. Mcqueen; the York Phalanx (Germans), commanded by Captain Dietrich Corves, the Hugo phalanx from the Second, Third and Fourth wards, Captain Martin Nagle commanding
 The line passed the following route: Out the north gate of the Green to Elm, to Broad way, around the upper park, countermarch to York, to Cedar, to Congress avenue, to Church, to Chapel, to Hamilton, to Grand, to Bradley, to State, to Eld, to Orange, to Grove, to Church, to Elm, where the com mands dismissed.

THE SILVER KING

Lovers of the drama will rejoice to know
 that the finest of all recent productions, 'EThe
 Silver King, Twill be produced in this city
 this week by Tompkins & Hills original
 Boston Theater company. Three perform
 ances will be given at the New Haven Opera House Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon. The play has been tremendous success everywhere, being run for long periods in all the large cities The Boston Traveller says EFThe performance itself was grand one, and the interest in it's development can scarcely be said to have Tagged at any point. * x It is strong in melodramatic incident, and abounds in opportunities for scenic effects, which are finely turned to account by Mr. Getz. The result is a stage triumph in which strong spectacular effects and genuine drama tic work are about equally balanced It is, in- deed, hard to say whether the vivid imper- sonations of character, or the picturesque treatment of the scenes in which they move, contribute most to the total effect. It is a and moving drama, strongly played and splendidly mounted.''
