THE OLD TICKET.

Democrats Satlsfled With Their For
 Ener Candidates Governor Waller
 Nominated i'm Spite of Ills Declina-
 tIOnS-A. E. Burr Heads the Eiec-
 tOral Tieket-Lively Row over the
 Attempt to Displacc Hon. James GaI-
 laxher as Chairman of the State Conn
 nAiItee.
 HARTFORD, Sept 2.-The old ticket, with one change, has been nominated, as was in dicated in these dispatches yesterday. The Democrats made up their minds that Gov eEnor Waller winked out of his left eye when he wrote his numerous declinations and con cluded that he was really willing to run. Why the New Haven delegates and others who were known to be Walters opponents should have whopped over and come out for him can be understood when it is remem- comptrollership. It is also whispered in several quarters that there is reason why the anti-Waller men kept quiet in the fact that he is pretty sure to be defeated this time, and that is after all the most effectual way of sending him into the political ob- scurity which his enemies have plotted for him.
  and Chairman Gallagher of the State Central committee called it to order at II o'clock. Congressman E. w. Seymour, of Litchheld, was chosen temporary chairman. In taking the office he advocated harmony and trust ed that the people would ratify the action of the convention at the polls. Clinton w. Cowles of Manchester, Frederick J. Brown of Waterbury, A. R. Morrison of Windham and James L. Hunt of Ridgefeld were ap- pointed temporary secfetaries. Committees on permanent organization, credentials and resolutions were appointed as usual. A committee was also appointed to renominate State Central committe.
 The committee on permanent organiza- tion reported the name of Hon. k. w. Sey- mour for president and the following vice presidents:

 THE BALLOTING.
 The ball was set rolling by James H. Olm- stead, of Stamford, who moved to proceed to an informal ballot Clinton B. Davis, of Haddam, objected. A fight ensued. Chair man Gallagher wanted to read the letter of deelination he had received from Governor Waller, but he was ordered to keep the let ter in his pocket and a ballot was taken. There were 391 votes ast, of which Cover nor Waller received 297 and Lieutenant Governor Sumner 94. Mir. Olmstead then moved to make the nomination by acclama- tion, but the scheme didn't work and for nal ballot had to be taken, before which letter from the Governor to Charles R. Whedon, of New Haven, was read. It ran as follows:

TIE Largest Show on Earth

An excellent entertainment may be antici-
pated on the occasion of the appearance of
John B.. Doris new monster shows at Rich
mond, ON Monday. July 81. The menagerle
includes the white spotted sacred elephant
Theodorus, and abOunds with the largest
collection of wild animals in the world.
With great difficulty Mr.. Doris, the proprie-
tor, has secured for his ring performances
such attractions as q troupe of brawny Turks,
fourteen in number; a French troupe of BIZ
cyclists; Katamorpa, the queen of the reptile
world; William Showles, Americas cham
pion bareback rider; Miss Sallie Marks, ac-
k~nowledged champion lady equestrienne;
Ritia Bey, the Turk, whose daring act of
throwing 100 dagger pointed knives at and
around the bodies of his two daughters, COM
pletely %pinioning them to wooden targets
which are placed in opposite positions upon
the elevated stage is acknowledged to be the
most daring and thrilling ever attempted. Be-
sides these attractions 100 excellent artists
will appear in their respective acts, novel;
ties, etc. This new consolidation is ssid to
be the largest in existence. In addition to
the three rings there is a stage erected.
Don't forget, also, that a grand street parade
will take place at 10 A. NJ. Excursion ar
rangements on all railroads have been ar.
ranged to enable parties from a distance to
attend the show and return to their homes
the same day. Don't forget the date. 1t

IT WON'T DO.

No, it won't do to raise the bloody
shirt against Senator Bayard. Prima-
rily, it won't do to elevate that banner
at all in this canvass. The political
party that does it is doomed to defeat
as fossil and bourbon.
The country is undergoing probably
a. great a financial panic as it will ever
again know in times Of peace. Com
mercial distress is everywhere. Fail
ures are of daily occurrence. Tramps
begin to appear again in organized
bands. There is a general unrest, dis
quiet. uneasiness.
These things have come from two
causes; one can be summed up in the
word neutrality-suspicious. it is
more politely called. The other comes
from the low price of American grain
and its uncertain future, mainly
growing out of the proscriptive tariff
of this country, which has driven Eng
land to force the growth of wheat and
other cereals in her Iudian and other
colonies.
These + the questions which are
sinking into the minds of the thinking,
conservative business men who, when
in any degree united, control the des-
TIMES of this country.
Mr.. Blaine is the embodiment of the
bold Spectator and gambler, and OF
the Chinese policy of ostracism of Eu-
ropean commerce, which is about to
react by the destruction of American
agriculture.
This makes the situation grave for
the republicans, and their nominees for
president and vice-president have al
ready outlined the plan of their cam
paign, and hinged it upon a revival OF
the animosities Of the civil war.
1t wont do.
The people want more tangible food
than that. They know craftsmanship
has been lacking and that business is
disturbed in consequence; that unnec-
essary millions are wrung from them
every year, while their ability to pay
grows less; that they are supporting
an army of oficeholders, many OF
whom are useless; and that extrava-
gance and corruption go unchecked and
unpublished. Indeed, instead of re-
form they are promised by the repub-
lican party in the election of MIR. Blaine
a brilliant administration, which means
an expensive one. The people want
to apply the brakes. The answer is
the bloody shirt.
1t won't do,

O"OLLEOTO2sHIP AGAIN.

EDITOR lNTELLIGENCER:-As much con-
troyersy has been going the rounds of the

collectorship, you will please favor a demo-
cratic voter with a small space in which to
express his sentiments, as well as those of
many others in this part of or county.
have reference particularly to the feeling
in Sni-a-bar and Washington townships.
The friends of Judge Harrison, in their
Jealous picturing before the people of his
languishing in prison, his competency, high
order of integrity, etc., are extravagant
enough to claim for mir the majority Of the
voters in nearly every township IN the coun-
ty.
The writer can speak from personal
knowledge of the voters of Sni -a-bar and
Washington townships. DR.. Chambers leads
g~allantly in these townships, and his friends
propose to stand firmly by him through the
canvass, Notwithstanding that 1t has been re-
peatedly claimed that Judge Harrison was
the strongest man. 1t is becoming monoton-
Gus that a man can force the people 10 sup
port him for Office simply because he dis
charged his official duty in another Office.
When fair minded people look at the ub-
ject in its proper light, it isl dangerous
precedent to set, with all due respect for
Judge Harrison and mis- friends.
If Judge Harrison must have the collector
ship upon his county judge prison record,
then, gentlemen, why not arise and insist
that Judge Prather must have the probate
judgeshlp: Are not the claims of Prather as
binding upon you IL those of Harrison:
Why this solemn silence upon tie prison
career IF one member cJMe county court, and
the booming artillery roar of another:
Let us elect our officials upon their per-
sonal merit, not for what they did when il
was simply official duty.
DIR. Chambers has his following because oil
his well known personal worth rs 4 gentle
man in every sense OF the word; not Il stain
upon his high moral character to he removed
or explained.
His business capacity is acknowledged by
all.
He is the foremost candidate in Sni-a- Ban
and Washington townships, and his friends
are with him TO stay.
The town of Odessa is almost solid fol
him.
His strength is real and substantial: nc
guesswork, imagination, and braggadOciC
about it, as the 9th of August will demon.
