 PRESENTATION OF CANDDATEs-MR BULKE- LEY's NAME.
 The convention was now ready to hear the presentation of the names of candidates. The name of William Fl. Bulkeley was presented
 by Stephen A. Hubbard, of Hartford It was both 8 pleasure and duty, MT. Hubbard said, to present the name of a gentleman upon whose name there had fallen no stain, man of good old Connecticut stock, from
 New London county by descent, from Mid d1esex county by birth and from Hartford county by adoption. MT. Hubbard said: 'EIn
 politics MT. Bulkeley has always been an
 active, efficient and faithful worker Hahe Ho P1ea TOT nm as a veteran
 soldier, but it is only fair to say that
 on the 18th of April, 1861, he went
 to the front with his regiment and
 staid there four months, one month longer than he enlisted, and then he came home and
 raised regiment in Brooklyn He again
 went to the front and remained until his reg iment was ordered to New York at the time
 of the July riots. MT. Hubbard paid tribute
 to the business ability of Mr. Bulkeley, to
 his record as lieutenant governor of the State and urged the claim to the gentleman's re- nomination. The claims of the candidate were presented in foreible words. He was frequently applauded
 The nomination of Mr. Bulkeley was fur ther advocated by Lawyer c. A. Walker, of
 Hartford. He called attention to the fact that MT. Bulkeley boiled a larger vote fox
 lieutenant governor than any other Republi- can. He was we'll qualified for the office of Governor.
 Mir. George P. Savage, of Cromwell, also advocated the nomination of MT. Bulkeley MIR. LoUNsBURY NOMINATED. MT. Samuel Fessenden, of Sta mford, now took the platform and nominated for Cover l nor Phineas c. Lounsbury, of Ridgefe1d. MT. Fessenden's appearance on the platform evoked hearty and general applause. Quiet being resumed, MT. Fessenden struck in at l once in behalf of the candidate from his sec- tion; depreciating neither of the other names
 
 worthy, he yet advocated the name of Mr. Lounsbury as gentleman eminently fitted for the position of Governor, 8 gentleman ] worthy to occupy the chair of Buckingham, Bigelow and Jewell. (Applause.)
 The mention of MT. Lounsbury's name
 was greeted with hearty applause from all directions.
 MT. Fessenden went on to demand the ] nomination for Fairfield county on the
 ground of locality. In fairness the gover- nors ought not to all come from Hartford and New Haven. Beside Fairfield shows 15 900 l good Republican votes. Again MT. Louns- bury would rouse enthusiasm with the sol l dier element. There was a man, CAIr Louns- bury) said the speaker, who had left the comforts of a fine house and carried mus ! ket in the battle for the Union (applause) He was good enough to put at the head of 1 the electors of our martyred Garfield, and now we ask you to give us the nomination And if you do, gentlemen, I assure you old Fairfield county will give such majority as was never heard before-and, by the way she will give it to you anyway.
 | MT. Fessenden's speech was vociferously applauded throughout, and his remarks were received with the greatest favor. MIR. HARRIsoN's NAME.
 Ex-Speaker William c. Case, in brilliant, incisive speech presented the name of Hon. Henry B. Harrison, of New Haven Mr. Case received quite an ovation of applause as he presented himself on the stage before the convention in response to repeated calls of
 Stage! Stage! The applause subsiding, Mr. Case said he had listened with pleasure and satisfaction to all that had been said in
 favor of the other candidates. He was in hearty accord with all the good words said of
 them. The party assembled here demands not only the selection of 8 good man, but the selection of the very best man. ''Now, let
 me say right here," continued MT. Case, hot afa Tho So, ,4orl
 here to-day will be elected Governor
 in November. All that we have to do is to make the best nomination. MT. Chairman
 I am tired of voting for this man because he
 came from this part of the State, or from
 that part of the State. I am tired of this,
 and tired of candidates, gentlemen, who nom
 mate themselves (Applause) There is a false and foolish notion that self-assurance is necessary for statesman. Let us bury all this, and let us carry the people of the State of Connecticut back to that old politi- cal axiom: Let the office seek the man. and not the man the office. You all know, gentlemen, whose name am about to men tion. A man who rocked the cradle of the grand old party. He Is no hero of four months service-he is @ hero with out epaulettes, Henry B. Harrison, of New Haven. Enthusiastic applause.). He has fought the good fight and kept it. He has no claim to make. He would not thank me to urge his claim or any other mans; cultured, but not crank (great applause); good enough to be professor in Yale college, but not good enough to kick. (Applause.)
 MT. chairman and gentlemen, I beg one word more, that this large and intelligent convention remembers what I say. Gentle men have said here that the party can carry this and that one to victory. Here is a man, Hon. Henry B. Harrison, who can carry you to victory Great applause) Make check there and put pin in it" Gaughter.)
 General Kellogg, of Waterbury, arose. Cries of ''Stage Stage!" greeted him, but he declined and mounted chair and thus com promised with the convention's demand sat isfaetorily. He paid friends tribute to a friend and classmate, classmate at Yale for four years and classmate in the Law school. In all this and subsequent life and contact, he found MT Harrison's character one to be admired. Mir. Harrison's record was an ideal record, stainless and f1awless. His rec ord was also that of scholar, a devoted son and honorable, high-minded citizen. He had
 been the help and stay of widowed mother.
 He maintained himself through col lege by his own exertions as
 teacher and he had won place
 in the very front rank of the
 lawyers of New England. (Applause.) He is man who will bring more strength to the party than will pocketbooks and money Nominate Henry B. Harrison, said Mr. Kel- logg, and there will be, believe, thousands S--o~S -~OS can party. The portrait of Henry B. Harri-
 son would worthi1y hang beside those of Hubbard and Ingerson and other 1lustrious
 governors down to the formation of the State.
 The venerable and white-haired Henry Hammond, of Killingly. said he had just a word to say. He was not so sanguine as
 some of the gentlemen, but he desired to as-
 sure his hearers that if they wished to carry the State and make success it could cer- tainly be done by the nomination of the Hon. Henry B.. Harrison. NIT. Hammond's re-
 marks were plain, sensible and he evidently ! spoke from 8 sense of conviction that carried
 weight to his words.
 AGAIN FOR BULKELEY.
 Colonel Stiles T. Stanton, of Stonington, < in a brief but pointed speech advocated the
 name of Ex-Lieutenant Governor BuIkeley.
 John M. Hall, of Winsted, made ringing and vigorous speech for the Lounsbury dele gates. He said he too was tired-and was tired of being told that the Governors chair
 can only be occupied by & resident of New Haven or Hartford. Fairfield county stands
 here resplendent in her political victories of the last ten years. Is she presenting a man today unfit to OcoTII1y fha ohair2 Gho uforda
