FOR GovERNoR,

win of this city for lieutenant governor were
 conceded on all sides. It is probable that
 the convention this morning will nominate
 these gentlemen by exclamation. For the
 other places on the ticket some contest may
 be expected. Of the three candidates for
 secretary of state, R. Jay Walsh of Green
 wich, Shumway of Killingly, and Doherty of Waterbury, Walsh is said to have the lead. There is promise of q lively contest here. For treasurer. Gay of Winsted, A. V. Cham
 berlain of Meriden and E. s. Henry of Rock vile are the candidates. Henry of Rockville is the probable nominee of the convention. Middlesex county backed by New Haven, will insist on the nomination of John B. Wright of Clinton, for comptroller, but G. H. Tinker of New London, does not propose to abandon his claims to the office and will ! be backed by New London, Hartford and ! Holland counties. For the presidential cleo. tor at large, Francis Cooley of Hartford, and J. H. Whittemore of Nsugatuek, are most prominently mentioned. The Congressional | districts will be represented on the ticket for presidential electors by Coloney Frank Che f ney of South Manchester, from the First; I Senator Jones of Branford, from the Second; Edward Milner of Plainfeld, from the Third; and W. 0. Harding of Stamford, from the Fourth.
 The gossip previous to the convention turned but little from the State ticket and | the chances for Republican success in the State, but some talk of the congressional | nominations was indulged in. In the Fourth I senatorial district it is said that the contest \ for the congressional nomination in the First K lies between w. E. Simmons of Canton and S. L. Houston of Thompsonville. Middlesex \ county men claim that the nomination in the Second belongs to their county and Mayor ! Coffin of Middletown is mentioned.
 \ The delegates to the convention are all happy over the bright prospects for Republi- \ can success this fall in both the State and nation. Harmony rules the present conven- \ ton, as the probable nomination by acelama- \ ton of Bulkeley and Merwin signifies.
 The work last evening was chiefly done in | the county caucns. The New Haven county | caueus met immediately after the adjourn | ment of the session of the convention in 8 | room in the Allyn House. Thomas Wallace of Ansonia was chosen chairman. F. o. Bushnell of this city presented the name of General Merwin of New Haven for the coun- \ tvs support for lieutenant governor before \ the convention. Senator Graham of Orange \ as soon as his name was presented declined \ to stand, and will present General Merwin's | name to the convention to-day. At the \ instance of the Meriden men the caucus voted to support A. N. Chamberlin of Meri- | den for treasurer, and c. H. Sawyer of that ! city will present his man to the convention. l.. I. Munson of Waterbury will present the name of J. H. Whittemore of NauRatuck, a Yale graduate and prominent business man in the Nsugatuck valley for elector at-large, and Judge Thompson will present the name of Senator Jones of Branford for district eleetor. The latter is connected with the Branford Look works. It is understood that Middlesex will support Whittemore and Jones, and that New Haven will support John B. Wright of Chester, the candidate for Comptroller, from Middlesex county. MT. vi hoa hoor, pafS nue, twice member of the assembly and is now president of the National bank of Clin- ton.
 windham county will support Shumway \ for Secretary of State, and Jacobs of Killing \ ly will present his name.
 Middlesex will insist that it be recognized | by the nomination of Wright for comptroller. THE CONVENTION ASSEMBLIES.
