 oeived with applause. Judge Donahue. ot Middletown, arose and said: ''In behalf of MiddIesex county I move that the nomina- tion be made unanimous" This was done
 The Third district men had hot wrsngle and adjourned, each side as defiant as ever
 The convention reassembled at 2:24, Colo nel Joslyn in the chair. The convention was entertained fer long time with Rn airing of the fight between New London and Wind ham.
 s. A. Wheaton, of Eastford, wanted har-
 mony and laid the fault to the New London
 county men. J. J. Walsh said 1t wss New
 London county men that would not consult.
 Judge Thayer, of VoIuntown, as one of
 the minority of New London county men,
 deprecated the lack of harmony apparent and
 said the minority wanted to consult with Windham.
 MT. Walsh, of Norwalk, asked why the New London delegation refused to consult with Windham county. (Applauss.) Why
 is it? Let them come out and tell it. We want to know. (Applause.)
 Mir Shields in a speech of some length in dfcated that the reason why New London county would not consult with Windham was because New London wanted Governor l Waller as 8 representative man to go the convention.
 Under this call, claim that you have no | right, gentlemen, to relegate this matter to a Congressional convention. In our caucus
 there were delegates from every town in New
 London county. Now, gentlemen of the men of the jury, for this is Democratic jury and most just jury, (applause) ask | tustice at your hands. This matter 1 was fully discussed in the caucus last night and there it was decided by a majority of fifty out of six
 don county could not be taken away. Do | yon suppose that you can force New London ' . -tultify itself? You can't do it; you have no ! right to do it under the call. MT. Shields ! spoke at great length and closed by saying
 that it would not be fair, nor just, nor with l in the province of the convention to force New London to meet with Windham. Dur ! ing his speech he was frequently interrupted by applause from his New London col | leagues.
 Mr Fowler. of East Haven, spoke about | the Second district caucus and it's result, but
 failed to connect ss the Waller question was
 too exciting for the convention.
 MT Walsh replied, arguing strongly that 1 the two counties ought to meet.
 After more talking the motion to make the 1 delega;es of the two counties hold joint | convention was withdrawn.
 MT. Fowler then repoEted for the Second | district, and John 0. Byxbee's name was I placed by the chairman before the conven- 1 tion. Mr. Arnold in behalf of Middlesex ! Byxbee was unanimously, by exclamation, nominated to be delegate-at-large from the Second Congressional district.
 Then came the decisive test between Gov
 ernor Waller and State Attorney Penrose. H. | 0. StarkWeRther, of Plsinfield, presented the
 name of the latter with Oulogistic remarks. Dr. Perkins intimated that if Wind-
 ham county was snubbed in this in- l stance it might be disastrous to
 Democratic prospects in the future. He
 moved that the vote when taken be. by ballot. MT. Kenneally, of Stamford, took afront at 1 the implied threat of Dr. Perkins. ''We
 don't want" he said, ''any one or two coun-
 ties, however large or small, to attempt to bulldoze the other six counties of the State 1 by intimations of what they will do in the future" -. Next Ephraim Williams, of Stonineton, nominated Governor Waller. The gov 1 ernor's name produced . 8 demonstration
 hardly less enthusiastic than that provoked by the name of Tilden. The con- vsntion pounded the floor, .cheered,
 waved their hats and handkerchiefs and jumped upon the seats The outburst
 was several times repeated. It showed the feeling of the convention, but was disastrous to MT. Williams carefully arranged speech. "Mr. Waller, p said he in closing, t'is, the governor of the State and not the governor of the old or the young Democracy" MT. Williams sat down and the audience cheered again. Mr. Crandall, of Ledysrd, and Gen. eral Colt and another eastern delegate made glowing speeches in favor of Governor Wal
 Ter. Every mention of the latter's name | caused an outburst of applause.
 John B. Healey, of Windsor Locks, arose to speak foE Penrose. Groans and misses
 arose from all parts of the hall, and were | showered upon him as soon as his purpose
 was indicated. MT. Healey was surprised
 and disconcerted. He finally said that he
 only wanted to find out whether Governor Waller, if chosen, was certain to vote for Tildsn. Then he sat down much crushed in
 spirit. He had sadly mistaken the temper of
 the convention. BARNUM ELEOTED. FE4r
