 The democratic convention at the Staf- ford Springs house last Saturday put in nomination for senator for the 24th dis trict Dr. o. B. Newton of Stafford Springs, he receiving almost unanimous vote on the first ballot. Dr. Newton is chairman of the Stafford board of selectmen, 8 po- sition he has held in former years, also been warden of the borough, representa- tive in the general assembly, and had oth- CT official proofs of public confidence. He has also before been candidate for the senatorship, and made good run, as he undoubtedly will this time, though the district inclines to republicanism. He is opposed by clean, capable man, 8 manu- facturer, J. D. Chaffee of Mansfield, who also enjoys full degree of popularity in his own section of the district. With two such well-selected candidates very full vote may be expected.
 The democrats have nominated for judge of probate in the Stafford district Miner 0. Kinney of Stafford, and in the An dover district w. H. Yeomans of Colum- Judge Carpenter of Willington in the Tol- land district, and Judge Fuller in the Somers district, and Hon. w. A. Collins of Columbia in the Andover district.
 Wilmington republicans and democrats have both called their representative cau- cuses to meet at the town house on Satur- day at p. m.
 Hon. w. w. Dundas of New York will speak at Central Hall this evening, and Hon. O. H. Platt of Meriden tomorrow evening. The former is democrat, the latter republican.
 Hartford Courant: From careful can- vass made by prominent republicans throughout the twenty fourth senatorial district there can be no question but that the republican nominee, Hon. J. Dwight Chaffee, of Mansfield, will be elected by an increased majority over that given two years ago. MT. ChafeeS is 8 prominent silk manufacturer, and represented this town in the general assembly in 1872, when he was honored by larger majority than any republican ever received in this town. He will bring to the office rare ex executive ability and will discharge it's du ties faithfully and with honor to his con- stituents throughout the district. Mans field, his native place, will this year honor him with an increased republican majority.
 The democratic correspondent of the Willimantic Chronicle (dem gives the re- publican candidate for senator for this dis trict this good notice '"The republicans of the twenty fourth senatorial district have nominated J. D. Chaffee of this town as their candidate for senator in the con- ing legislature. MT. Chaffee's nomination by the convention was nearly unanimous, notwithstanding many ominous threats to the contrary by certain disafected politi- cians of his own party. MT. Chaffee is a young and thorough business man, largely engaged in sil&tmanufacturing, also sue cessful farmer, and would, if elected, be @ credit to his constituency. He has repre- sented the town in the lower house of our state legislature one term, is genial and courteous to all, and is popular with the general public"
