 Four delegates at large will be appointed by, the general convention, one from each Congressional district, when the delegates will separate into four Congressional dis- tricts, and each district will choose two del- egates-usually one from each county.

States; New Britain's delegation is headed by Mayor Walsh; Meriden sends George N. Morse, A. w. Tracy, Dr. s. D.

 The corridors of the Allyn House were crowded last night with delegates who had alr6dQy arT1V0O to 6Gt0QQ GD6 cOnYeQL1OQ. The delegates from the counties held caucus- es to nominate their respective candidates to represent them at the national convention.

 The State Central committee held meets ing last night. The resignation of Michael F. Dooley, chairman of the committee, was handed in. Mir. Dooley explained that his duties as bank examiner would not permit him to hold the present position. The com- mittee refused to accept the resignation. Hon. James Huntington of Woodbury, State attorney for Litch6eld county, has been elect convention to-day and his election as perma- nent chairman will probably be made. The temporary secretaries elected were Editor SaWter of the Stamford News, MT. Barrett of New Britain, F. J. King of Norwich and MT. Deolittle of Clinton.
 New Haven county delegates met in room 45. Representative Grove J. Futile of
 
 meeting and MT. James Roach of Walling- ford secretary. A considerable time was taken up before the work of electing the delegates was started. Messrs. Tracy of Meriden, Charles s. Chaffee of Derby and Henry Jordan of Branford were elected conn., mittee on credentials. A motion that the reading of the names of the delegates be omitted was lost and 8 considerable time was taken up in the reading and answering to the roll call. The meeting then proceeded to endorse the name of James P. Pigott as delegate-at-large. Mir. Peck of Orange opposed the manner in which the business was being carried on and thought that the county delegate should be nominated first Inasmuch as Middlesex had endorsed MT. Pigott it was decided to settle that matter first, and MT. Pigott was duly endorsed as delegate from this congressional district.
 Middlesex county at their caucus endorsed James P. Pigott as delegate-at-large from this congressional district and nomina- ted Clinton B. Davis, of Higganum, as the delegate from that county.
 The Litchield county delegates elected V. 0. Beers, of Cornwall, chairman of the meet ing and William H. Barnunl, of Lime Rock, as delegate at-large, and Milo B. Richardson, of Salisbury, was nominated as delegate from the county.
 Fairfield county nominated Henry A. Bishop, of Bridgeport, as county delegate and endorsed William H. Barnum as dele- gate -at-large. There was considerable oppo- sition to MT. Barnum by individual members as delegate-at-large. J. Duff Nichols, of Stamford, made a strong speech in opposi- tion to Barnum as delegate-at-large.
 New London county endorsed Charles N. Allen of Putnam as delegate-at large, but teok no action, and the names of Senator Beckwith of New London and A. O. Robin son of Montville were on the slate for county delegate.
 The Windham county delegates in caucus elected ex-Secretary of State Sanger, Canter- bury, chairman and Kelley of Willimantic sec- retary. The meeting endorsed the name of Charles N. Allen of Putnam ss delegate>at- large, and NJ. H. Sanger's name of Canter bury was prominent as county delegate. The Holland county delegation had not arrived last night and will probably hold their caus GUS this morning. Hartford county will nominate at their caucus to be held this 
 The old war horse, Hon. James Gallagher of this city, was seen yesterday. He proposed delaying going to Hartford until this morn ing. He will undoubtedly be heard during the proceedings. He will go solid for Pres- ident Cleveland's tariff reform. He said the boys who represented him as free trader were "away off"
 The convention will not be unanimous on the tariff question. That is 8 foregone con- elusion, although the leading organs claim that 'teverything will be harmonious;" and there is dissensien in the party on the ques- tion of giving President Cleveland an un- qualified endorsement
 The Resolutions Will Endorse Cleve
 land and Straddle the Tariff Ques-
 ton.
